"Mind you, you don't possess the power you presume to have. You're like an empty vessel," Cassiel replied, his tone laced with a hint of arrogance. "I prefer the medium term to read," Enora retorted, beginning to let go of her reservations. "Follow me," Cassiel instructed, bidding farewell to the fleeting days that had passed. "See you, everyone," he called out as Enora guided him to her workshop. She settled into a chair behind her desk, ready to confront the pressing question."What is it that you want to save?" she asked. "How did you know? At this moment, I don't have all my power. I need your help to recover it," Cassiel admitted, his expression earnest. "A person's magical power is restored with time. I can't assist you with that. You should seek out Queen Hada; she is the one who controls time," Enora explained. "She can't help me. There's too much trouble involved in giving life and strength to the fairies. I'm unlucky, so my recovery would be slower there.You are a bearer of light; I need you to restore my power with your magic." "If I gave you all my power, you would recover. But as I said before, I'm only half full," she countered. "That's true. Abril and Kiara didn't want to use their magic on me several times, yet I still can't regain all my power." "How do you know them?" Enora inquired, curiosity piqued. "I have been recovering in the kingdom of Cosset, but they are about to face a battle, so they cannot continue helping me," Cassiel explained. "A battle?" Enora echoed, concern creeping into her voice."Lachica is going to open the gates of Hades. I possess one of the keys, and it is one of the most dangerous. This key holds immense power, but I still need the other key, and it won't be long before they go searching for it. That's why they couldn't continue aiding me, and I decided to come here." "If what you're saying is true, I can't help you either. I must protect my kingdom," Enora replied, her resolve firm. "Tell me before, you can't deny your help to a guardian," Cassiel pressed. "You can't force me, guard," she shot back, her gaze unwavering.Cassiel held her stare, his intensity matching hers. "Listen, I really need your help. I must convince the queen to join the battle, but she doesn't see me as strong. To defeat the Dark Lord, we need all the kingdoms united. Otherwise, we cannot win. I've witnessed many worlds perish because they thought they could move forward until darkness consumed them. We can only prevail when everyone acts as one." Enora sat in silence, contemplating Cassiel's words. "I'll help you, but I don't think I'll give you all my power," she finally said. "I thank you," Cassiel replied, relief washing over him.Enora stood and approached Cassiel, grasping his arm as she spoke. "It's worth convincing the queen to join the fight. Otherwise, she'll seek you out, and I'll make you pay for lying to me, regardless of what I have to do with my last breath." "Don't worry; you won't have to do anything like that," Cassiel assured her. Enora infused a significant amount of magic into Cassiel. His power surged, but it remained only half full. "You're still somewhat empty. Let's hope that Queen Hada thinks like you and believes that she's a bit soft," Enora remarked."I truly appreciate it," Cassiel said, gratitude evident in his voice. "What do you think about now? I can't think about my magic anymore; we need to prepare for war," she stated. "Take me to the land of the fairies," Cassiel requested. "I can send you to the entrance of the land of the fairies, even if you don't know it's still open. When her kingdom is attacked, she closes all entrances," Enora explained. "I suppose this is something you need to check out for yourself," she added.Enora hesitated, not wanting to send her first guardian away, but she opened a portal that led directly to the entrance of the land of the fairies, surprising Cassiel. "If you can make portals, why not send me directly to the land of the fairies?" he asked. "The land of the fairies has a barrier that prevents entry. That's why I'm sending you to the entrance, so you can enter once," Enora replied, giving him a gentle push through the portal she had created. It closed immediately behind him, leaving Cassiel alone.noveldrama"I see why your daughter is so obstinate; she's just like her mother," Cassiel murmured as he approached the entrance to the fairy realm. Fortunately, the entrance was still open, allowing him to pass without issue. Though the entrance was near the palace, he could see it shining in the distance. "I have to return to Cosset. It will take a long time to reach the palace," he muttered to himself, continuing on while pondering his next steps. As he walked, he noticed a small stream with crystal-clear water, a welcome sight after so much walking.When he looked up, he saw a girl with wings descending from the sky on a winged horse. She approached him, curiosity evident in her eyes. "Is that who you are?" As she drew closer, Cassiel sensed that she, too, had angelic blood in her veins, though she bore elven features as well. "Who are you?" he asked, intrigued. "You ask first, then you answer," she replied playfully. "I'm Cassiel. Now tell me, who are you, girl?" "I'm not a girl; I'm thirteen," she corrected him. "What's your name, then?" Cassiel pressed. "I'm called Lissana," she said, her gaze fixed on him."You look a lot like my uncle Cassian, but your essence is different, more... extracted," she observed. Cassiel watched her closely, feeling a sense of discomfort at her scrutiny. "What brings you to the land of the fairies, and why do you look at me so intently?" "I'm here because I have matters to discuss with the fairy queen. As for why I look at you so much, it's because your essence is more powerful than mine. I've never seen anyone like you; you are unique."
