Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

CHAPTER 197: BLACK FIRE

Enzo had stayed close to his sister Cira, waiting for her to be distracted. He had been staring at her for too long, she fixed her gaze on him and asked.

-Are you up to something brother?I

-Of course not, why do you ask?

- You’ve been watching me for a while, it’s obvious that you’re up to something.

- I’m not up to anything sister, I wouldn’t dare do anything against you.

Cira laughed, as if he had said something funny and moved a little closer to him. Enzo could see the black aura that his sister emanated was something dark and wicked, he felt a chill run through his body and couldn’t help but tremble. Cira scared him, but he still held her gaze.

- I don’t know what you’re up to, but I advise you to stop if you don’t want to die, remember that you’re alive because you’re useful to me, so don’t tempt me.

- I’m not up to anything sister, you’re being paranoid.

- You’re wrong, I’m not paranoid, just someone cautious.

Cira turned around when she heard a loud growl, she searched with her eyes, in the distance she could see the Fairy Queen attacking her monster, she frowned and with great annoyance said.

- That damn bitch is a nuisance, does she not plan to give up, what’s more, that she already won this war.

Enzo was going to say something when suddenly Cira looked elsewhere, shortly after she took a great leap using the darkness to propel herself and headed to the battlefield, that took Enzo by surprise, he asked her what was happening.noveldrama

He took his horse and followed her in a hurry, Cira was not heading towards where the Fairy Queen was, she headed somewhere else the same direction the monsters were taking, it was as if they were chasing something or someone.

There were two young people trying to escape from the monsters, Cira was faster and blocked their way with a wall of black flames, just before they crossed the barrier that protected the fairies’ camp.

- Well, well, I think I found what I was looking for.

Cira approached the two young people who were on the ground.

-I thought I would have to turn this land into ashes to find what I came to look for, who would say I would find it on the battlefield.

Maya was unconscious, when she fell she had hit her head on a rock, Cassian crawled to where she was and took her in his arms, gently hit her cheek to bring her back to consciousness while saying.

- Maya, wake up, open your eyes, tell me you’re okay.

Cira got a little closer to Cassian, he could feel that there was something dark and cold under the human skin of that young redhead, although that was the first time he saw her, by her appearance he could recognize her, that young woman was April’s sister. Cira Venobich.

- If you give me the key to the gate of Hades that is in your possession, maybe I will let you live.

Cassian clung to Maya, while Cira spoke, he searched with his eyes for a way to escape, but the more time passed, the more monsters surrounded him.

- Don’t even think about escaping, if you do I’ll kill you and continue with what I planned, I’ll look for the key to the door of Hades from the ashes.

- I don’t have it.

- I already know, but you know where it is since the key has been in your possession, you can’t hide the aura that the key gives off, because it has remained impregnated in your body.

- I don’t...

Cira threw a black fireball that passed over Cassian and Maya, although it hadn’t hit her, the heat emanating from that fire had burned her skin.

- Think carefully about what you’re going to say, as you can see I’m not a very kind person, what’s not useful to me I throw away.

Cassian tried to look for help, but there were only monsters around him.

Cira created another fireball in her hand and with a crooked smile she hit him.

- So, where’s the key?

Enzo tried to get to where Cira was, but it was impossible, a multitude of monsters surrounded her and blocked his way. But from where he was he could see his sister, she seemed to be focusing all her attention on what was in front of her, she was distracted, that was the best time to attack.

Enzo used his magic to make April appear at that precise moment behind Cira, taking her by surprise.

April had been absorbed by a shadow, for a moment everything went dark and when she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Cassian holding Maya in his arms and her sister intimidating him with a black fireball she had in her hand. Without thinking twice, April threw a fireball at Cira, her silver flames caused a burn on her back, she screamed in pain.

April took advantage of the moment to go where Cassian and Maya were, and asked them.

- Are you okay?

Cassian was very surprised to see April since he hadn’t seen her arrive, but since this was not the time to be stunned he replied.

- I’m fine, but Maya is not fine, she hit her head when we fell.

April put her hand on Maya’s head and used her healing magic, she quickly opened her eyes. Cassian hugged her, relieved that she was okay.

Cira seeing that the person who had attacked her was April, felt her blood boil with anger, she stood up and a distorted voice came out of her throat. -

Damn bitch, how dare you attack me.

- Cira, stop, you will not win this war. A guttural laugh came out of Cira’s throat.

- I will not win, take a look around you, my monsters are surrounding them, if anyone will lose this day it will not be me.

- Cira began to approach, an evil energy began to come out of her body, with each step she took, the grass under her feet withered leaving a black and cursed land.

- I’ve always wanted to kill you, but father never allowed me now that he’s dead, I am the queen of Laios and there is no one above me, so I will take your head as a trophy.

Black flames appeared in Cira’s hands, April created silver flames in her hands. Cassian seeing them saw that they were similar, but at the same time different like day and night, their powers confirmed it, one has light magic and the other darkness. Without taking her eyes off Cira, April gave Cassian and Maya.

- Go away.

Cassian stood up, unsheathed his sword and said.

- I will not go anywhere, I will fight alongside you.

- No, this fight between them and me, if you stay you will only die.

- But...

- Cassian, please go and take Maya with you, I’ll be fine.

- It doesn’t matter if this scum stays or goes, his destiny won’t change, he’ll die anyway.

April stepped forward and put herself between Cassian and Cira, she seemed to be protecting him, she said again.

- Cassian, go away, you’re in no condition to fight, if you stay you’ll just distract me.

Cassian had hurt his leg when he fell, he knew he wasn’t much use, but April’s sincerity hurt him a little, and he looked at Maya, although she had woken up, she was still somewhat dazed from the blow, he helped her up, took her in his arms and gave her.

- Be very careful.

- Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, I don’t plan on losing, since your brother is waiting for my return.
