Alexia
The wind dragged my hair back, I tucked the strand that was falling insistently over my face behind my ear as I felt the cold in my stomach, I looked up at the sky, only flames and screams in my ears, I flew up into the sky and felt the impact as the dragon came towards us, its claws on Silver's skin tearing him apart, one of Silver's wings slammed into the dragon causing it to let go, losing a little control before regaining it, I flew away, trying to gain space and saw Charlotte's face which seemed to glow with rage, her eyes fixed as a chase began, desperation taking over my whole body.
I looked back and saw the dragon's mouth open, I crouched down and felt the heat on my back, flames licking me but not affecting my clothes.
I raised my face and Silver spun around, his wings flapping lightly on the water, I barely saw that we were already over the sea, I looked around for Charlotte and saw that she was above me.
A great dive, sinking into the sea, I felt the impact of the strong water, the cold ran through my bones. Silver flew up again and I saw that now, without me on her shoulders, Charlotte had ignored him and was heading towards the city.
"No!" I shouted over the sea, in the middle of the ocean and saw the dragon returning to the battlefield, Silver coming towards me while seeing fire, lots of fire.

Estevan
The sky of Olimper was on fire, I threw up my shield when I saw that I would be hit by the flames that licked the battlefield as if we were nothing, destroying everything in sight Charlotte attacked violently while sword blows came from everywhere, the soldiers looked lost and desperate.
I stuck my sword into the belly of one of them and pulled it out, using my foot to push it. I looked around for Alexia in the skies, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Screams of despair, pain and death Hundreds of swords clashing as the field was bathed in blood and souls There was courage and despair in the dust and heat that rose, which would remain in my memory I raised my sword before I was hit in the back and turned around, The swords dragged against each other and soon the second and third blows were delivered quickly, I blocked them all and on the very close face of Otavio, who seemed determined to kill me at any cost, I felt the impact coming towards me and I didn't know where or how I had fallen, it was as if I had hit something.
I raised my head, felt my pelvis ache and saw Camila coming towards me with her face closed, she raised her hands again, throwing me away.
"Camila, leave it to me, this is my fight, not yours," said Octavian to her. "Go and help Raila in the castle."
"What do you want in the castle?" My eyes widened as hundreds of thoughts came at me.
Octavian attacked me again and I quickly raised my sword to defend myself, another blow and then another.
"What do you think we want? You killed my brother Benjamin, you will pay bitterly Estevan" said Octavian with dark eyes "I will kill your whole family!"
I attacked him but he defended himself, the sword clashed hard and I used my head to hit him, Octavian was destabilized, I looked for my father on the battlefield and saw him fighting at a distance of ten paces from me, I went towards him and hit the man I was about to hit from behind.
"I was going to kill him," said my father as always proudly, "but thank you."
"We don't have time father, the witches and probably a group of soldiers are going to the castle to kill my mother"
He touched my shoulder, his stern eyes reassuring me that he would do what he had to, and then I saw him run towards the castle, away from the battlefield and making his way through the bodies, flames and blood, and I saw him ride on the horse of one of our soldiers towards the castle.
I raised my sword in preparation for battle and glared at Octavian.
"I've had enough of you, king of Zaïm," I said angrily and advanced on him.

I looked out of the window and my heart almost leapt when I saw the men climbing over the wall, hundreds of arrows were flying, the guards were defending the castle with their lives, but the men kept coming.
"We're under attack," I said to Soraya nervously and she pulled me back a little to see what was happening.
"Come on, we need to get to the shelter," said Soraya, climbing out of the window and grabbing my arm.
I hit the floor.
"Wait, Acacio has weapons stored where are they?"
"In the closet"
I shook my head and quickly opened the closet, throwing the clothes on the floor. Soraya didn't question me, on the contrary she opened the drawers and wrapped the ammunition in cloth while I took out a large rifle.
"Can you shoot?" I asked, turning to her.
Soraya frowned.
"How would I know? I'm a queen"
"It doesn't matter, now you know!" I said, throwing the second rifle at her chest. "Finger on the trigger only when firing and always keeping it down, a little tilted, never towards me or one of us."
Soraya's eyes widened.
"How do you know how to shoot?"
"I know a lot of things that a normal lady doesn't know how to do." I said, loading the shotgun, took hers and started putting the bullets in it too.
"The guards will protect us!"
"Don't expect to rely only on the men, be prepared for anything my father used to tell me" I repeated the words that seemed like a mantra in my mind "Just before you come into contact with your men and die"
I handed her the rifle.
"Here you can unlock it" I said, "Put the strap on".
She put the strap over her neck and, looking at me, adjusted her hands and posture in relation to the gun, I smiled, Soraya was the most intelligent woman I knew.
A loud noise startled me, I ran to the window and saw that a witch with short black hair had knocked down the gates by herself, she took a deep, tired breath as she stared off into nothingness, numerous soldiers were coming through the doors, she looked at me and I stepped off the edge feeling my heart race, my whole body seemed to panic as the gates were now open and a witch was coming towards us.
