We truly appreciate your understanding and support!When Cassian entered his room, he couldn't help but reflect on the years that had passed. Although Alessandro insisted that the location of the doors to Hades was inconsequential, Cassian disagreed. If they knew where the doors would appear, they could save more lives and prepare their armies for battle. As he woke, the sun was already setting; he had slept the entire day. Afterward, he set out to find Abril and her brother, but on his way, he encountered Fay. "Thank you for taking care of my son," Fay said, her voice warm."He knows how to take care of himself, even on dangerous journeys," Cassian replied, a hint of pride in his tone. "In truth, I received a lot of help." "I'm glad to hear that," Fay responded, her eyes sparkling with relief. "How much longer do you think you'll be gone?" Cassian asked, concern creeping into his voice. "That's not why I'm asking," Fay said, her expression turning serious. "I'll be gone for a few more days." "What will you do after that?" he inquired. "There's a place I need to visit. Could you cover for me?" "Tarik has a plan for you whenever you want to leave.But this place I want to go, Tarik shouldn't accompany me. It's too dangerous for him, given his strength and power. I don't want to put him in harm's way." "Where do you want to go?" Cassian asked, curiosity piqued. "To the wings of Vaizel's mountain," she replied, determination etched on her face. "What are you looking for?" he pressed. "The doors to Hades. They are hidden among the monsters, and no one knows they exist. I believe they are protected by the very creatures that inhabit that territory." "Why do you want to leave?" Cassian asked, his brow furrowing."As soon as possible," she said firmly. "I will accompany you for a few days; there are still things I want to uncover about the dragon they killed." "Thank you," he said, appreciating her willingness to join him. "But I must go now. I need to communicate with Maya." Cassian continued on his way, first seeking out Abril. He needed to hope he could reach Maya. It was difficult since he was married, and the bond of marriage made things even more complicated. He longed to return to the land of the fairies, but he couldn't do so without fulfilling his duty as a prince.He had to take care of his child. Abril was in the courtyard, training with Kiara. Her skill with the daggers had become impressive, and she approached Cassian with a confident smile. "You've become an excellent warrior; you no longer stumble or fall," he praised her. "Could you lend me the mirror? I want to communicate with Maya," he asked. Abril pulled the mirror from her clothes and handed it to him. "She was worried about being able to talk to you." "I'll return it later," he promised. "You have time," she replied with a reassuring nod. "Thanks," he said, grateful for her understanding.noveldramaCassian found a quiet spot to speak with Maya. When he connected with her and saw her face, he felt a surge of longing to hold her in his arms. "Hello, my love," he greeted her softly. "Cassian, you make me miss you even more than I already do," she replied, her voice tinged with sadness. "I'm sorry," he said, feeling the weight of her emotions. Maya pouted and said, "I can feel your anxiety and fear. What's going on, Cassian?" He sighed, gathering his thoughts. "Maybe I've discovered where the doors to Hades are located." "Where?" she asked, her interest piqued. "On Mount Vaizel.I'll be ready to leave in a few days." "Be careful. Remember, you are my life," she said, her tone serious. "And I mean that literally." "Of course, I will," he assured her. "How is Uzziel?" "He's doing well," Maya replied, her expression brightening. "He's getting so big!" "Hello, Daddy!" Uzziel chimed in, his voice cheerful. "Hello, Uzziel. It looks like you're growing up fast," Cassian said, smiling at the boy. "I'll soon be taller than you!" Uzziel declared confidently. "I'm sure you will be," Cassian laughed. "When will you come back?" Uzziel asked, his eyes wide with hope."I'll be back soon, I promise. Just take good care of your mother," Cassian instructed. "Of course! I'm a man now; I'll take good care of Mommy," Uzziel replied proudly. "Hello, Uncle Cassian!" Lissana greeted him, peering into the mirror as if searching for something. "Hello, Lissana," he said, noticing her curiosity. "Have you seen Tarik?" she asked eagerly. "He visits his mother often, but he hasn't been able to see Tarik since he left the land of the fairies. The next time we call, maybe you could..." "Do you want me to communicate with him?" Lissana interrupted. "Only if you want to.It's not like you'd die to see him," Cassian teased. "I'll let you know, but don't worry if I do," she replied, a mischievous smile on her face. "Just suggest it subtly," he advised. "Okay!" she agreed, her excitement palpable. Cassian continued to talk with Maya, their conversation flowing easily until night fell. He reluctantly said goodbye, feeling as though his heart was breaking into a thousand pieces. He then went to find his brother, who was in the dining hall with the others. Alessandro looked up as Cassian approached."I'm glad you've joined us," he said, a hint of relief in his voice. Cassian took his place at the table, sitting beside Alessandro and across from Abril. Tarik was seated next to Cassian, while Kiara and others filled the remaining seats. As the food was served, Cassian spoke up. "I plan to travel to the mountains of Vaizel." Alessandro frowned, his expression darkening. "I thought we had discussed this and decided you wouldn't go there." "That was your decision, brother. I can't ignore this," Cassian replied firmly.Abril, intrigued by the conversation, asked, "What's in the mountains of Vaizel?" "I believe the gates of Hades are there," Cassian explained. "How do you know this?" Alessandro challenged. "There are monsters in the mountains; they've been appearing for a long time. If there were monsters there, I would know," Cassian insisted. "The mountains of Vaizel have always been dangerous because of the beasts that dwell there. It's impossible to overcome them; they are monsters that have never left," Alessandro warned."I would appreciate it if you didn't put yourself in danger." "What about Hades?" Kiara interjected. "That's what I want to find out, which is why I must go," Cassian replied. Abril spoke up, "This will be a dangerous journey, and I won't let you go alone. You need help in the city." "That's why I'm not taking the horsemen," Cassian said. "I'll accompany you," Tarik offered. "It's too dangerous for us to go alone. If what you say is true, we don't know how many monsters are in that place or how strong and dangerous they can be," Kiara argued."All monsters can be defeated, Cassian." "Yes, but it's a risk we're taking," Barto added. "I support you as well. I must protect my sister's life and ensure nothing happens to her," Kiara said firmly.
