Cassian’s face darkened. He felt hurt; he hadn’t stopped thinking about her for a single moment since they

had parted, but it seemed she had forgotten about him.

“Did you forget me in the short time we weren’t together?”

“Has it been a short time for you? Lucky’you.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“As you know, time passes differently in the fairy realm. What has been a short time for you has been years

for me.”

“What do you mean?”

“After you all left, the queen took away the medallion the elves had given me. For a long time, I waited for

you to come look for me. I knew I couldn’t leave with you anyway, but still, I longed to see you once more,

to taste your kisses, to feel your warmth while you embraced me.”

“And because I didn’t come, did you find comfort in someone else’s arms?”

“Things aren’t what you think.”

“Then explain it to me, because I don’t understand anything.”

“I knew Fay would come to the human world. I’m not allowed to leave the fairy realm, but I wanted to see

you, so I agreed to an engagement with him to be able to accompany him and see you.”

“And did you really think it would make me happy to see you knowing you’re engaged to another man?”

“I knew you wouldn’t like it, but that was the only way the queen would let me come; besides, I never said I

was going to marry him. I can break off the engagement at any time.”

“So you’re just pretending to be engaged?”

I

“Fairies can’t lie, so everything has to be real. My engagement is real, but I don’t intend to marry Fay; he already has someone.”

Cassian felt he could breathe again. He hugged her and said,

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but feel jealous when I heard that man was your fiancé.”

Maya returned the hug and replied,

“I realized that. It really offends me that you thought I forgot about you, because I didn’t. During all this time we were apart, there wasn’t a single day I didn’t think of you.”

“I’m a complete idiot, right?”

“Yes, you are, but don’t worry, I knew that when I fell in love with you.”

Cassian pulled back a little and pressed his lips to Maya’s. Their kiss became deeper, full of intensity, of

contained desire. Maya responded in the same way, as she kissed him, she ran her fingers through his hair,

over his shoulders, and down his back. She wanted to feel him, for her hands to remind her of the familiar

intimacy. She had longed to be with Cassian in that way so much that for a moment she forgot why she

was there.

Fay re–entered, cleared his throat to get their attention, and said,

“We don’t have time for this. Save your time with your human lover for later.”

Cassian felt little sympathy for that fairy, even though he knew he had helped Maya reunite with him.

“I’m coming, Fay.”

“Okay, but don’t take long.”

Fay left the tent again, Cassian asked,

“Why have you come, Maya?”

“The queen has sent us here to forge an alliance.”

“An alliance? I thought she didn’t want to participate in this war.”

“She changed her mind when they attacked the fairy land. Actually, we are also at war; we are also fighting against those monsters born from darkness.”

“But why is King Venobich fighting against the fairy land?”

“The king’s daughter is leading an army of monsters. She believed the fairy queen had one of the keys to the gates of Hades and tried to make a deal to obtain it, but the queen didn’t have it. The queen told her so, but the daughter didn’t believe her and began attacking us a few weeks ago. Those monsters are nearly impossible to kill; we desperately need weapons to fight them.”

“You need enchanted weapons.”

“That’s right, Fay is in charge of the negotiations, and I accompanied him.”

“The enchanted weapons come from the elves; you will have to speak with them.”

“I know, but the queen wants to form alliances not just with the elves, but also with the humans.”

“Why?”

“When the queen found out about Abril, she became interested in her.”

“What? Did you tell her about her?”

“She asked questions, I can’t lie, I had to answer all her questions.”

“You could have omitted it.”

A shadow of concern crossed Maya’s face, and she replied.

“It’s not as easy as you think. Even when I tried to lie, I ended up blurting out the truth. No matter how

much I resist, the words spill out uncontrollably. It’s horrible.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t…”

“I know you had no way of knowing.”

Fay peeked into the tent again, and before he said anything, she said goodbye to Cassian.

“I have work to do. I’ll see you later.”

Cassian grabbed Maya’s hand, preventing her from leaving. When he saw her walk away, he felt he wouldn’t

see her again. She seemed to notice his anxiety, placed her hand on his arm and said,

“I’m not leaving, at least not yet. I’ll be back in a while.”

“I’d better accompany you.”

“That would be nice.”

Maya said as she looked at Fay, who nodded. Maya entwined her arm with Cassian’s and said,

“Then let’s go.”

As they exited the tent, many soldiers turned to look at them. Some recognized Maya and, seeing her with

Cassian, were happy for him. Others couldn’t take their eyes off Maya’s fairy companion; he exuded an otherworldly aura that made him seem anything but human. He had white hair and red eyes, his skin was pale, and he was slender, his appearance was beautiful but strange.

Cassian guided them to the elves‘ tent.

“May I come in?”

Dantriel came out of the tent and was very surprised to see Maya and the other fairy accompanying her

there.

“What are you doing here?”

Fay replied.

“I am Faylion, representative of the fairy queen. I have come as a messenger and request an audience in

your presence.”

“Come in.”

Upon entering the tent, Fay handed a letter to Dantriel. After reading it, he said,

“So you are also being attacked.”

“Yes, the queen is furious, she wants to destroy the human king who dared to defile her lands.”

“Why have you come here and not gone directly to my kingdom?”

“It is what my queen asked of me. I only fulfill her wishes.”
