As she walked through the corridor, she couldn't shake off the feeling of shyness that lingered in the air. "How do you find it?" she asked, her curiosity piqued. "Are you growing well?" "If always," he replied, a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "It will be when you come back." "Why do you refuse to speak to her?" she pressed, sensing his hesitation. "It seems to me that you're also like the rivers." "Because if you see her, you will lose the desire to stay here. I will end up returning," Tarik confessed.His words struck a chord with Abril, filling her with a certain fear about his answer. "Tarik, why do you want Lissana to grow up?" "When I grew up, we became helpless. I wanted everything to be as it was before. I wanted to laugh with my friends. And Lissana is never as true as her friends are. That's why I wanted to return her to the earth. And now I'm fine, so I want to be one of them." "Are you sure that this is the only reason you don't want to go back?" Abril asked, her brow furrowing."Is it because you'd like her to have your age, or is there another reason?" Tarik fell silent for a long moment, lost in thought. "I just want her to grow so we can return to being friends," he finally said. Abril sensed he was hiding something, so she decided to change the subject. "Lissana told me that you write letters. How do they get there? Will they arrive?" "Some pixies came to me; it must be at their request," he replied. "I thought they weren't allowed to leave their land," she said, puzzled. "Only if they don't have permission from the queen.I believe they didn't wish to remain in the world of mortals." When they reached the door, Abril paused. "One moment, I need to tell you something. The first guardian is a bit odd and annoying, so have patience with him." "Understood," Tarik replied. "I'll see you later," she said, stepping inside to meet the first guardian. As she entered, she noticed the guardian's appearance was striking, but there was something different about him. His eyes, though green, conveyed a depth of wisdom that was hard to ignore. "Are you the first guardian?" she asked. "Yes, I am a guardian," he replied.noveldrama"I'm not a child; I have a sharp edge. I'm just a quince," she stated firmly. "I have thousands of sharp edges," he countered, a hint of amusement in his tone. "I want to know if you have any way to communicate with the realm of the fairies," she pressed. "Yes, I usually do," he said, his expression turning serious. "You are the prince of the fairies; you must have a way to communicate with your queen. Would you like a magic mirror or a necklace?" she suggested. "The magic mirror reigns in Abril, and the other things are nothing but letters," he replied dismissively."Cassiel says he has a home or tells me how he talks to you," she continued. "I suppose I will have to wait until I recover to see her face or hear the voice of my beloved Leriana. I guess I'll have to settle for sending her a letter," he said, a hint of sadness in his voice. "Write a letter; I want to send it to the queen," Tarik urged. Tarik wasn't fully following what the guardian was saying, but he kept asking questions, trying to make sense of it all. "I don't believe this is a favor to the queen," the guardian said. "I assure you, you will receive a letter," Tarik insisted."I'm not lying; I just want to know how to recognize a lie." "Good luck; don't be too happy," the guardian replied, his carefree expression fading into seriousness. "But it is vital for your kingdom," Tarik pressed. "Why is that?" the guardian asked. "Do you know why Leriana doesn't want to unite forces to fight against the darkness?" Tarik replied. "No, even she hasn't given me an answer," the guardian admitted. "I say it was because she wanted to save our kingdom. Our people, who would know the moment I became illegitimate." "She wants to transfer the land of the fairies to another world.She doesn't want to support us in this war because it won't be when she is untied," Tarik explained. "Another world?" the guardian echoed, disbelief etched on his face. "Yes, that could cost you your life. In this new world, you will be..." Tarik hesitated, realizing the weight of his words. "I would see Lissana again, but I would lose my best friend forever." "It can't be certain; it's possible to do it," the guardian said, trying to reassure him. "You have seen the power Leriana possesses; that's a huge power," Tarik replied, a glimmer of hope igniting within him. "Sometimes you can use it.If she has chosen you as her successor, it means you can wield timeless magic, just like her," the guardian stated. Tarik was so surprised that he struggled to find his breath. "I'm saying this so you can enter the plan. I want to count on your help so I don't lose the woman I love and to save the world." Tarik fell silent, and the guardian looked at him intently. "Is it possible to count on you?" "Write your letter; I will ensure it reaches the fairy queen," he promised. "Thank you for your understanding," Tarik said, relief washing over him."But I'm not doing it for you; I'm doing it for myself." Abril was training with her daggers in the garden when Alessandro appeared, a determined look on his face. "Is it possible to train with you?" he asked. "Of course," she replied, a smile breaking through her concentration. Alessandro drew his sword, his confidence evident. "It won't be too hard." "I'm not so weak," she retorted, her eyes sparkling with challenge. Even though she thought he was strong, seeing his small figure, slender arms, and delicate hands made her doubt he could muster all his energy.But she was surprised when he made the first thrust and successfully blocked her attack. Abril noticed the determination on his face. "I tell you, I'm not so weak." "I'm glad you're here," he said, a hint of admiration in his voice. "Do you know anything about Cassiel?" she asked, shifting the topic. "Today, there are already mountains of work to do," he replied, a hint of frustration creeping in. "Of course, it's clear how to recover quickly," she said."Alright, even though it's taking longer than I imagined, I can't use all my magic because we don't know when we will be attacked," he admitted. "Thank you for your hard work and dedication. We must ensure our home is safe and protected," she said, her resolve strengthening.
