Maya replied and closed the door. He stood by the door for a while, hoping she would open it and say it had all been a joke, but that didn’t happen, so he returned to his room.
When Abril fell asleep, she dreamed of her mother again, and her mother had a worried expression on her
face.
“Mom, what’s wrong? You look worried.”
“Abril, today I felt a strange power in the palace, I sensed a darkness.”
“I felt something strange this afternoon, but I don’t know if it was the darkness.”
“I thought you were safe here, but I’m not sure anymore. Maybe the darkness is also in this palace, so you
must be very careful, Abril. Vritra must not discover your power, not yet. I think it’s time for you to break
another seal.”
“Yes.”
Abril did everything her mother told her. She broke another of the seals that contained her magic. It was
strange, but this time she didn’t feel tired; on the contrary, she felt full of power.
Sophia took Abril’s hands and said,
“Can you feel it? Your magic is filling you, giving you power.”
“Yes, I can feel it.”
“From now on, you won’t get tired when one of the seals breaks. Your body is getting used to your magic.”
“But how should I use my magic?”
“I will teach you how to use it, how to defend and protect yourself, because I feel that the danger might be
closer than we think, and you must be prepared for what comes. But only use your magic as a last resort.
Remember, you must hide your power from others, at least until the final seal is broken.”
“I will do so.”
The next day, Cassian went to Maya’s room, knocked on the door repeatedly, but she didn’t answer. One of
the maids approached and said,
“Prince Cassian, if you’re looking for Miss Maya, she left a while ago.”
“To where?”
“I don’t know, she didn’t say.”
Cassian wondered where she had gone so early. He went to the training room, and upon arriving, he was very surprised to see Maya. She was using a bow, shooting several arrows, and all hit the target. Cassian was fascinated by her skill and wondered what else she might be able to do.
Dorian, one of the soldiers, was standing close to Maya, praising her for her skill with the bow.

“You’re very good at this, your skill is undoubtedly incredible. Who taught you?”
“My father, he gave me a bow as soon as I was old enough to hold it.”

Dorian was a tall young man with blond hair and blue eyes, very attractive. Cassian approached them, interrupting them.
“Good morning.”
Dorian gave a formal greeting.
“Good morning, Your Highness.”
“Don’t you have to train?”
“Yes, with your permission.”
When Dorian left, Maya said to him,
“You seem very grumpy today, didn’t you have a good night?”
