We truly appreciate your understanding and support!You Are My Family Lissana sat on her counter, gazing into the distance as if trying to see beyond the palace walls. Maya approached and asked, "What are you looking at, Lissana?" "A great danger has awakened. I'm worried about Mom and Dad." "I'm worried about them too. We don't know anything, but that means nothing bad has happened." "I'm not so sure about that." "It's difficult not knowing what is happening, but we must be patient and trust that they will return safe and sound." "I suppose you're right, Aunt Maya." "Of course I am.When this is over, we will sing and dance in celebration of their victory." "Like in the land of the fairies?" "Yes, just like in the land of the fairies." "Don't you think we should be there with them, fighting by their side instead of being here?" "You're not so eager to fight, Lissana. The priests left because they know what it means to fight in a war, and they don't want you to go through that yourself." Maya placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and added, "Now, we should go.Uzziel is waiting for us." Lissana understood why her priests had left her behind, why they had stopped her from participating in the war. Yet, she couldn't shake the feeling of where she truly belonged. Enora was the first to join the army of the Kingdom of Laios and the Kingdom of Xurt. When they arrived, Elisha approached them first. "I am Elisha Lombart, princess of the Kingdom of Xurt. I am in charge of directing my kingdom's army.I will keep you informed about what is happening." "I am Enora Babette, queen of Arkala, the elven kingdom, and as you can see, I am here directing my own army." "I see. That surprises me. Shouldn't you be in the safety of your realm instead of on the battlefield?" "I think differently. My reign may come to an end, but my daughter is ready to begin hers. That's why I'm here-to ensure she has a future." Elisha was at a loss for words in response to the elven queen's determination, so she changed the subject.noveldrama"You should support me in getting up to speed with what is happening." Enora could sense the malevolent force emanating from the mountains of Vaizel. "Are they attacking?" "No, but the mountains remain silent." Enora found herself gazing at the mountains and finally said, "You'll have to see the doors of Hades again. Are they completely open? On the contrary, they were attacked." Her gaze shifted to the dragon resting on the outskirts of the camp."What's wrong with this creature?" Enzo appeared and responded, "It's not a monster; it's a dragon." The young man with red hair was recognized by Enora as the brother of Abril, the king of Laios. She didn't understand why he was protecting the creature sleeping in front of the camp. "I was revived with her power of darkness. I still look like a monster and a threat, which should be destroyed. If you feel you cannot destroy it, I will." "Please don't do it," Enzo pleaded, lowering his head."Why do you defend this creature?" Enzo paused for a moment, contemplating whether to reveal his reasons, but he knew she would discover the truth soon enough, so he decided to be honest. "That dragon holds my sister Cira. That's why I'm here." Enora furrowed her brow, the expression on her face hardening. "What do you mean?! Your sister is here?!" Enzo could see the thirst for blood emanating from the elven queen, so he tried to explain the situation. "She is not well; she is not a threat." "If she is not a threat, then I decide what to do with her.Take me to her." Enzo guided Enora to her tent, though he could sense the darkness within her. He needed Enora to confirm that it was safe. Upon entering the tent, he felt the bloodlust radiating from the woman who had just entered. Hans stepped between her and Cira. "What do you want with her?" "I want to ensure that she is not a danger." Hans looked at Enzo, desperate for help. "Don't worry; she won't harm you. I won't let that happen." Hans hesitated for a moment, but when he looked into Enzo's eyes, he saw the truth in them. Enora approached the bed where Cira lay.The girl looked pale and emaciated, with only faint traces of darkness lingering within her. Even her strength seemed to have abandoned her. Enora continued to watch in silence, and Enzo asked, "There's no darkness in her, right?" "There are only a few traces of darkness." "Tell me, she's not dangerous?" "In this state, she seems ready to die." "You are a user of light magic, just like Abril. Can you help her?" "Of course I can, but there is still darkness in her. She remains our enemy.Why should I help an enemy?" Hans stepped in front of Enora and pleaded, "Please, save her." Enzo tilted his head and joined Hans in his plea. "Please save my sister. She doesn't have much time left." Enora remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "She is the cause of all this. How can you ask me to save her?" Enzo replied, "If my sister committed many crimes, she was still controlled by darkness. It wasn't her true self. You know that darkness only dominates you when there is darkness in your heart.Deep down, that was what she wanted; the darkness only intensified the desires that existed within her." Hans stood up and added, "She didn't want this. She didn't want to see the world burn." "I suppose you must have some interest in this woman, so speak to her that way." Enzo remembered the day when Cira had been consumed by darkness. She had reached out to her brother, pleading for him to save her. She had never sought this power. "It's true that my sister is not kind or happy. She is not a good person, but she never wanted to destroy the world.She just wanted to be a good queen and to be accepted by my father." "And for that reason, you want to save the girl who may attack us later?" "I've always fought with her since we were children. There were many times we thought about killing someone else, but she is my family. That's why I'm asking you to save her."
