No! Woefully! My vision does not fool me.
It is a dragon! A real, giant dragon with all its bones, flesh, and blood. Well, I suppose they do have blood. And all those terrible and ugly horns and nails.
It is flapping its giant wings to keep its body swing in one place, at the height of the castle's balcony, which is the extension of the ball hall.
Into its sight, my breath is taken away. For a while, I forget to breathe until my lungs tell me to do so. Then I take a deep, sharp breath. Oh! My God! What does it want? What is looking for here?
Why on this special day for us?
And it is not alone. On its back is carrying a man. His eyes sparkle with malice and hatred. The hairs down my neck are standing up, and a shiver runs through my spine.
"Good Evening ladies and gentleman," the man speaks with a voice full of irony. "Do you enjoy your ball? Now is the time not to anymore."

EdithThe first thing I see when I open my eyes is the ceiling. I wander my eyes around and recognize my room.I feel dizzy, and my head hurts unbearably. Next to me, I sense a presence slightly pressing something cold in my head. I try to turn my head to see who this is, but a sharp sting in the head fixes me back in place."It is me, my princess," a voice spoke to me, and I identify Aida's voice. "Please stay still. That's what you need now.""What has hap… ?""Shhh …… Not now. Later."Why? What has happened?The pain in my head forces me not to persist. That is why I am giving up at the moment.My head is buzzing. The icy pressure on my head that I feel is soothing and comforting. Blurry images begin to flood my mind as they slowly start to clear up. And then I remember… My eyes open wide."Fath…" I try to get up, but Aida stops me by holding me down.
Finding The Heart of Magic Chapter 28
Aida was infuriated with Brantley and Ladon. Although they had tricked her, pretending not to go ahead with their plan and giving her a deadline - apparently to throw dust in her eyes - they reassured her by carrying out their own satanic plan in the end.In the castle, she mobilized all her forces to not reveal her feelings, not to escape any word of her mouth that would betray her relationship with the dragons. They would think that she was involved in all this, and they would lose their trust in her. And most importantly, she would lose their love. And that would make her heart a thousand pieces. She was unsure if she could bear to lose the people she loves so much, who have become her family and have blind trust in her. All this can be lost in only a single moment.For tonight, her ally was the silver illumination of the moon which became her trustworthy guide. She was walking fast without noticing if there was anyone or any other animal around her. The boiling rag

EdithShocked, I watch my mother tearing her hair out and shout, "No, no, no, you're not going. I'm not going to let you go."I have just announced to her my decision to go and find the gem. At first, she looked at me, knitting her eyebrows in wonder. It took a few seconds for her to realize what exactly I was talking about. Then she widened her eyes and started screaming and pulling her hair. The truth is that I did not expect this reaction. Yes, I expected her to refuse my proposal for me to go, but I did not expect all this weeping and hair-tearing. Her reaction tore my heart. I had to be prepared for it. First, the father's kidnapping, and now I tell her that I will go and find the gem without being sure if I will ever return.It's an enormous burden for a wife and mother. Her family scattered without knowing if she will see them again. And all this so abruptly, so tragically suddenly. From one day to the next, she will be left alone. My eyes a

EdithThe next day I wake up very early, and the truth is that I did not sleep very well at night.I sit on the bed and rest my warm feet on the cool floor.As I recall everything that has happened and everything that will happen, my heart starts to increase speed uncontrollably.I think of my father, and tears fill my eyes. I have to bring him back! I hope he is okay. There is no way to know this, and it causes me more stress and more stubbornness to succeed in my mission.The anxious knocks on my door say it's Una."Come in," I tell her while I get out of bed.Una enters carrying the freshwater while she looks at me with her big eyes full of anxiety."Everything is ready," she announces.I say "nice" to her, and I approach to wash my face."Also, breakfast is already served and is waiting for you" her eyes look at me intensely and clouds over.I finish washing, wipe my face

EdithWe reach the edge of the forest very quickly. Knight Ballyan approaches me and tells me:"It's time to let go of the horses, my princess.""Okay," I answer, and Ballyan gives the order to the other knights.We dismount from the horses, and the soldiers who have followed us take the horses' reins and, with a simple "Good Luck," took the road back to the castle.We watch them walk away for a while, but when the dust raised by the horse's clattering of feet and drowns us causing us a cough, we decide to move on.We begin to enter the forest, and the drop in temperature is quickly felt. The vegetation is dense. Gigantic trees with massive thick trunks and low and tall shrubs cover almost all the ground. Somewhere we find some flowers with huge blossoms. This is the first time I see such flowers. They have lovely bright colors and a delectable scent.I gape for a moment about this incredible beauty of t

I remain frozen in my place while my heart starts hammering. I must inform the men immediately. Brian is closer to me, and I decide to tell him.I lean slightly towards him. "Brian," I whisper, wanting to get his attention first.He turns and looks at me. "What's up, princess. Why are you whispering?" he tells me with carelessness, and I want to bring him the plate I was holding on his head. But he is right. He doesn't know."Wild animals are here watching us. They may have surrounded us. Tell to Robert who is sitting near you. Everyone needs to be informed," I tell him, and he nods in agreement.From my seat, I watch the process as the information was transferred from one to another and how their behavior changed from the moment they learned.They left their plate on the ground and put his hand on the handle of the sword, ready for defense.When the information reaches Ballyan, he leaves his plate on the ground, and he carefully searches th

I feel beads of sweat run down my spine and collect in the dimple at the base of my waist."Did you feel that?" I ask the knights wanting to know their thoughts on what had just happened. Maybe there is some logical explanation. Perhaps it's a unique phenomenon in this magical forest that I don't know about.I wish to be."Yes," Brian answers."What is it?" I ask again."It was just o breath of air."I narrowed my eyes and pursed my lips. "I'm not stupid, Brian. It wasn't just a breeze like all the others. Not a leaf was moved. How do you explain that?'The knight stops short and scratches the back of his neck."You notice that, don't you?" asks me."Of course I noticed. What is it? Why did it happen?"The other knights seem to have heard our conversation because they are approaching us."The truth is, we don't know what it might be. Various legends circulate in people's mouths, but it is difficult for me to believe all I hear." Ballyan informs me, and then I remember."Aida before I
Finding The Heart of Magic PROLOGUE
Millions of years ago, planets were born after the Big Bang. Among them was the Earth that was to, in the long run, host life.But before that could happen, the planet had to go through a process of being able to support life. And for this purpose four elements, of incredible strength and power united to create something magnificent.Air, Water, Fire, and Earth.In the beginning, the planet's surface was fluid due to the liquid fire that was constantly flowing from the ongoing eruptions of the volcanoes. The lack of land and the poisonous gases of volcanoes currently hindered the development of any life form. The process was long and time-consuming.After several centuries, the Earth's surface cooled from the glaciers forming a solid crust. When the glaciers melted, the water flooded the planet.Millions of years passed until life was finally created to produce oxygen, thus changing the atmosphere's composition and making it sustainable.
