CHAPTER 188: THE BEAUTY OF THE LAND OF FAIRIES

April stared at the entrance that Fay had opened to the land of fairies, it looked beautiful and shiny, so much so that she felt drawn to touch it. Alessandro brought her out of her thoughts by holding her hand.

_Aby be very careful.

_Don’t worry, I’ll be. Alessandro hugged her and said.

_Come back soon, remember that I’ll be waiting for you.

_Remember not to do anything reckless, think before you act.

_Think before you act, that’s clear to me.

_And if you’re in danger, don’t act brave, run away if necessary.

_I won’t.

April stood on her tiptoes, kissed him and said.

_My priority will always be to return to your side, I won’t do anything that will kill me. Alessandro gave her a soft kiss and replied.

_I truly hate having to let you go.

_I also hate having to separate from you just now that we’re back together, that’s why I’ll try to finish as soon as possible and when I get back we could start creating a child, don’t you think?

_Really?

_Of course, I’ve already broken the last seal so we don’t have to worry about that anymore, we’ll finally be able to have children and have a family.

Wouldn’t you like that?

Alessandro hugged Abril tightly, so much that she felt like Alessandro was crushing her. She was happy.

_I’d love that, so don’t take long I want to start working on making a baby.

Fay began to give instructions.

_This portal will take us directly to the land of fairies, when we get to the other side they will be careful with what they touch and what they eat, especially with the last thing.

They all nodded.

_If everything is clear now let’s go.

Fay crossed the portal, Ethan and Dantriel were next, April followed after, followed by Maya, when it was Cassian’s turn, Alessandro told him.

_Cas, take care of April for me and make sure you don’t do anything stupid.

_You don’t have to say it, you were already thinking about doing it.

Before crossing the portal, Cassian looked at his brother and thanked him.

_Lessan thank you for having accepted the alliance with the fairies, I know it wasn’t easy for you since you were forced to let April go even when you didn’t want to.

_You don’t have to thank me for that, it was actually April who asked for this alliance, I only have to respect her will.

_Still, thank you.

Cassian crossed the portal and it closed behind him, that tree became normal again. Alessandro touched the trunk of the tree and said.

_Come back safe and sound my love, I’ll be waiting for you.

As she crossed the portal, April blinked for a moment under the intense sunlight, admiring how beautiful the sky, the trees, and even the grass beneath her feet looked. In the land of fairies, everything looked brighter and seemed to have more color.

Maya stood next to her, breathing deeply, the smell of the air of the land of fairies filling her nose and mouth.

Even though she had been in that place against her will, she couldn’t deny how beautiful and wonderful that place was.

_Is it beautiful here?

_Yes.

_Although it’s also dangerous so be careful.

_When Cassian reached the other side, Maya was where he found himself.

_Are you okay?

_Yes, are you okay?

_Maya wished she could lie at that moment, but she ended up spitting out the truth.

_No.

_Cassian took Maya’s hand, she could see the worry reflected on his face.

_Maya, what’s wrong? Does something hurt? _

Maya didn’t want to answer his question so before he finished spitting out the truth she gave him a kiss on the lips and said.

_It doesn’t hurt anything.

Unable to lie, Cassian knew that Maya wasn’t lying, but there was still something that bothered him, Maya didn’t seem to be very well. He was going to ask her again when Fay said.

_Come on, the queen already knows that we have arrived, she is waiting for us. Maya pulled Cassian’s hand to get him to move and said.

_Come on, it is not good to make the queen wait, she hates it and it makes her angry.

_How do you know?

_I have been with her for a long time, I know more or less what she is like. As they walked through the beautiful forest, Cassian couldn’t help but say.

_Even though they are at war, this place seems to be very quiet. Maya looked at Fay as if seeking his approval before speaking, he nodded and she began to say.

_The battle is taking place in another space-time. _What is that?

_It’s here but at the same time it’s not.

_Your answer is even more ambiguous than the previous one.

_Well, it’s something difficult to explain and even more to understand. In reality, Maya didn’t quite understand how it worked either, although it had been explained to her several times, that was something she had never been able to fully understand.

_Let’s say it’s the queen’s magic, she can handle time as she pleases, that’s why time here passes differently, she’s using that power to hold back the war and its attacks, but I don’t think it can remain that way Forever.

_So the war hasn’t started yet.

_Of course it has, only right now the war is in a kind of lethargy.

They arrived at a small clearing, there were several winged horses, of different colors, lilac, yellow, soft pink, turquoise, white and brown. Their fur looked soft and silky, their feathers radiant and fluffy. April was the first to approach, she was someone very curious by nature and couldn’t help but want to touch them.

When she was about to touch the muzzle of a white horse, Ethan grabbed her hand stopping her and said.

_Don’t touch them, it can be dangerous Sophia.

After saying that, there was an awkward silence between them. Ethan continued to confuse her with his mother and at some point, April began to feel that Ethan trapped her even more as Sophia, forgetting that she was April, the woman he had loved so much, was not her.

Maya tried to destroy that awkward moment and said.

_Winged horses don’t like to be touched lightly so don’t touch them recklessly.

Maya tore a branch from a bush, offered it to one of the horses and waited for him to be the one to approach first, when the horse started eating Maya said.

_But if you let them be the first to approach there will be no problem.

April did the same thing that Maya had done, when one of the horses approached her voluntarily she was very surprised and said to him.

_You were right!

_She’s liked you, she’ll surely let you ride her.

Ethan was nearby, hearing that he replied. _You’re crazy! Those beasts are dangerous.

Maya caressed her horse’s nose and said.

_If you don’t want to ride them or not that’s your problem, but you’ll have to travel these lands on foot alone if you don’t and you might even end up getting lost so think about what you want to do.
