“Of course.”
Cassian said to his brother,
“This is a dance, you should dance.”
Alessandro heeded his brother’s suggestion, extended his hand to Aby with a slight bow, and said,
“Would you do me the honor of this dance?”
Abril took his hand, and they both headed to the dance floor and began to dance, letting the music guide
them.
A beautiful smile spread across Aby’s face, Alessandro said,
“I think I’ve fallen in love again.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes, and I will continue to do so time and time again for the rest of my life.”
“I feel so lucky to hear that I’ll be loved for the rest of my life.”
< The End
Alessandro gave her a kiss and said,
“Do you think this is our happy ending?”
Abril returned the kiss and replied,
“No, this is just the beginning of our story.”

Abril was rocking Lissana when she felt a strange presence, but it was only for an instant, so she thought she might have been mistaken, that it had all been a product of her imagination. More than a year had passed, but she was still nervous, unsure of when Cira might attack again.
When the baby fell asleep, Abril gently placed her in the crib and called one of the maids to stay with her
while she took a bath.
Marin, the maid who looked after Lissana, was very tired because she had helped in the kitchen that day, as the usual maid was ill; while watching the baby sleep peacefully, her eyes began to close without her realizing it, and she ended up falling asleep.
A dark, bird–shaped shadow entered the room and perched on the edge of the crib. Lissana woke up. Although the bird in front of her was terrifying and grotesque, she did not cry; she just stared at it intently.
Cira, from the darkness of her cave, ordered the bird to attack. The bird swooped down to attack the little
baby.
Abril was in the bathtub enjoying her bath when she felt a strange presence. It was small but filled with malice, and it came from Lissana’s room. Abril got out of the bathtub, wrapped herself in a robe, and ran to Lissana’s room. When she arrived, what she saw surprised her.
Lissana extended her small arms, and a bright light came from her hands. When it touched the bird–shaped monster, it disappeared, turning into ashes.
Abril ran to Lissana’s side, took her in her arms, and checked her small body for injuries, but there were none. Abril held her close, relieved to see she was fine but fearful knowing her daughter’s powers had awakened, as it was not normal for her power to manifest at such a young age.
Marin woke up, and upon seeing the queen, she stood up immediately.
“Your Majesty, I’m sorry, I was very tired, I must have fallen asleep without realizing it. I promise this won’t happen again.”
Actually, it was a good thing Marin had been asleep; only Abril knew about her daughter’s power awakening, and she wanted to keep it that way for a while.
“Don’t worry, Lissana just woke up.”
Abril went to the crib; there was no trace left of that monster. However, she could feel Lissana’s power flowing in that room and was sure that for some time, no monster or evil creature could approach that room. Abril kissed her baby on the forehead and said to Marin,
“Take care of her, and if anything strange happens, tell me.”
“As you command, Your Majesty.”
Abril left the room, vowing to protect her daughter from anything and anyone that might harm her.

Part II: Forgotten Wife, Blood Ties.
Abril was rocking her baby when one of the maids entered.
“Your Majesty, I have a letter for you.”
Abril, upon seeing the seal on the letter, placed her daughter in the crib, took the letter, and read it
immediately.
The letter was short; it only said:
“Come to the kingdom of Laios and fulfill your promise.
Enzo Venobich”

Abril had promised her brother that she would go to the kingdom of Laios to close the rift that connected to Hades, but since she was pregnant and couldn’t use her power, she had postponed it. Lissana, her daughter, had just turned six months old, and although it pained her to part from her, she had to go to the kingdom of Laios.
The maid, seeing the queen’s worried face, asked,
“Your Majesty, is there something troubling you?”
