The blackened people transformed, their colors shifting to yellow, and the inheritance of their wings became healing. When Enora was finished, she told him. The dragons come like their mother to the first person who emerges from the waterfall; perhaps that is why it means so much to this girl, too. They are very intelligent and can communicate with her. Abril approached, and he spoke. "To save your love, you need to help me.I need you to take me to the mountains of Vaizel, where the doors of Hades are located. Your love is there. Can you help me?" The dragon beneath the hill seemed to sense his urgency. Enora spoke again. "Not everyone can go to the dragon. How do you think to take them?" Abril was still lost in thought, unsure how to respond. "I don't think you can take more than three people with you," she said. Adara regretted not having taken her with her to the dragon that Lissana had released. In that moment, it would have been a tremendous help, especially since Alessandro couldn't go with them."But I believe the best course of action is for Cassian to remain and lead the army. Alessandro can take us there using his wind magic." As Abril and Enora discussed how to reach the mountains of Vaizel with those who would accompany her, several winged horses approached the camp. Adara recognized them immediately; they were just like her riders. "I believe our problem is solved," she said. They had arrived to join them. Fay was leading the fairies when they approached, and Abril greeted her."I'm happy to see you've arrived." Abril only came to a few fairies and asked, "Why have you come?" "In these times, we believe our help is necessary, but I see that it is not so." "In reality, we do need it," Abril replied. She summarized the story of Cira and explained that they needed to save her. Fay fell silent for a few moments, digesting everything Abril had said. When she finally spoke, her voice was cautious. "You know this could be a scam, don't you?" "Yes, I am very aware that this could be a trap, but this is a risk I am willing to take." "These mountains are very dangerous.They are full of monsters, and even with your power, it will not be easy to get in and out of this place." "I know. That's why we will use something that waits. This is Cira's dragon; it will be useful in battle. With it, we will have a better chance of escaping these mountains." Fay gazed steadily at the dragon, which bore a striking resemblance to the one Lissana had released in Cosset. "Are you sure it will help us?" she asked. "I believe so, but we will need more transport.Your mountains would be ideal since we will arrive by air." Fay looked at the mounts of Vaizel, which, despite the sun setting, seemed to disappear into absolute darkness. "How do you think you can find this place? I don't believe you can see anything from there." "We don't need to see," Abril said, caressing the dragon's neck. "This friend will guide us." "Really?" Fay asked, her skepticism evident. The dragon growled in response. Enora added, "Dragons have an excellent sense of smell.I'm sure he will be able to find his mate, even when you can't see anything." "I suppose it will be a total gamble," Fay conceded. "We don't have much time, and the monsters will be more active soon. We can reach the ground; the air is our only option. That way, we won't have to face the monsters, at least not most of them." "I don't know if I'm making the right choice, but I will trust you and follow you wherever you lead," Fay said. "Thank you, Fay.I appreciate your faith in me." "I hope it proves to be well-placed." "We will leave early in the morning, when the first rays of the sun reach us. It would be too dangerous to enter that forest at night; that's when the darkness holds the most power. You must be tired; get some rest." Abril headed toward the dragon. "Don't go alone. If you want to save your love, you must accompany us." After making the decision, the dragon curled up in the dirt, though it continued to gaze up at the mountains of Vaizel, as if it could see through the dark clouds.Abril was on her way to the tent she had been assigned when Hans suddenly appeared and blocked her path. "Princess Abril, no-April, I beg you. Please save Cira. If you think this is all a trick, a trap to destroy you, it's not like that. She doesn't want anything of the sort; she just wants to return home. She has truly changed, I swear on my life that she desires asylum." Abril could see the desperation in Hans's eyes. He believed in Cira blindly, and there was no hint of doubt in his expression. It was hard to think that Cira might have emerged from the darkness; she had indeed changed."There's a chance for the journey, but I can't promise anything. If I find out you're wrong, I won't stand idly by. This time, I won't let her escape." "I understand your position perfectly. Just don't let yourself be blinded by hate when she comes to save you." "I promise I won't attack until I'm completely sure she doesn't deserve salvation." "Thank you, Your Majesty." When Abril returned to her tent, Alessandro was there waiting for her. He had been pacing back and forth, worry etched on his face. The first words that came out of his mouth were filled with concern."I don't think you should go. We can ask the elven kingdom for help; they seem to have more experience in battle. They've fought in two wars and killed many monsters. I believe they have enough experience." "Perhaps, but I'm afraid of what might happen. I'm afraid it's a trap and that I'll lose you." Abril hugged him tightly. "You have nothing to worry about. I'll be fine, and I promise I will return to you." "Don't drive anyone mad.noveldramaRemember, your family will be waiting for you." "I could never forget that." Liona took a long time to find the monster that Dagon had sent her to fetch, as it was not large enough to be seen easily, especially in the darkness. She was getting dirty from the sticky substance, even though she didn't want to be stung by accident and end up poisoned. Dagon had ordered her to bring it to Cira so that it would bite her. Cira tried to resist, but without her powers, it was impossible to defend herself. She was easy prey for all those monsters.The lizard-shaped monster bit her arm, causing great pain. The poison began to spread throughout her body, eliciting screams of agony. Dagon approached her and said, "The poison will take effect before it spreads throughout your entire body. If you want the pain to disappear, you need to cooperate and tell me why the ritual didn't work. It's the dark king, and my sisters can't cross the doors of Hades. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until the poison forces the words from your mouth, but I assure you it won't be pleasant. When that moment arrives, you will beg for death."
