Silitsia raised her hands, keeping her eyes closed. The incantations began to pour louder, and white, electric smoke began to appear around her. This smoke swirled rapidly around her, emitting a bright, powerful energy.
Suddenly, Silitsia fell to her knees and crouched. Electric clouds spread rapidly, sweeping through the temple like a storm, enveloping everything. The vampires were quickly destroyed by the immense energy. All the vampires were turned into dust, and the dust was blown away by the wind.
Rodrigo and Andres collapsed from the powerful energy. They were paralyzed by headaches and the chaos surrounding them. When they slowly rose from the ground, only silence and dust remained around Silitsia.
Felix walked over to Silitsia and examined her carefully. Silitsia's eyes had begun to return to normal due to the energy, but she still looked tired and drained.
"Silitsia, are you okay?" Andres asked, tired but concerned.
Silitsia weakly raised her head and said, "Yes, I think... My powers..." "I don't understand what happened, but... Everything happened suddenly."
“So the prophecy was true,” Rodrigo said, recovering slightly. “Your powers have emerged, and you have destroyed a great danger. This could indicate that you might be Kanita.”
Silitsia took a deep breath, trying to comprehend what was happening. She was both shocked and frightened by how powerful and destructive her powers were. "But how do I control this power?" she asked.
“You will learn this in time,” Rodrigo said. “What matters now is how we can use this power and prepare for further dangers.”
"You must remain calm," Andres said, standing beside Silitsia. "This may be your first experience with your power. You must learn to control it, and you can get support for it."
Felix waited for Silitsia to recover, keeping a close eye on her surroundings, alert for any potential danger.
"How did I do this?" Silitsia asked, shivering from the energy.
“Has anything like this ever happened before?” Andres asked, trying to understand Silitsia’s experience.
"No, I've never experienced anything like this before," Silitsia said, shaking her head.
“Okay, so you need to learn to control your powers,” Rodrigo said, smoothing his hair, which had been standing on end from the electric smoke.
"This isn't the beginning, it's just a first step. Your powers come out in challenging moments, so you must learn to let them come out when you want them to."
"We must get out of here now," Rodrigo continued. "This wave may have been felt throughout the kingdom, and more men will arrive."
"You ride on Felix, I'll carry Silitsia," said Andres.
Andres immediately spread his magnificent wings and gently embraced Silitsia. Silitsia found safety in Andres's strong arms. Andres rose slowly into the sky. Felix, carrying Rodrigo on his back, came to accompany them.
They flew throughout the day, searching for a safe place to stay. The silence between Andres and Rodrigo as they flew reflected the gravity of the events unfolding. Silitsia, observing the scene below from a height, felt the weight of her powers and the responsibility brought by the prophecy. By the end of the day, they had found a safe place. Andres landed gently and carefully placed Silitsia on the ground. Rodrigo scanned the surroundings, observing for any danger.
“We should stay here,” Rodrigo said. “I think we’ve found a safe place, but we have to be careful. There could be more danger.”
"I must learn how to control my powers. This is only the beginning," Silitsia said, tired but hopeful.
Andres and Rodrigo sat down next to Silitsia and began to rest, while Felix kept a watchful eye on the surroundings, keeping a watchful eye on the group.
Suddenly, an arrow slammed into the tree Rodrigo was leaning against. Rodrigo, noticing where the arrow's feathers had passed, quickly rose to his feet. A beautiful dryad appeared before them. "What are you doing in my forest?" she asked harshly.
Andres quickly conjured a weapon with his magic and stood in front of Silitsia, ready to protect her. “Hello, my beautiful lady,” Rodrigo said, slowly rising from the ground. “We’re not bad people, so…” Then Rodrigo turned and fell silent.
The dryad looked at them carefully and asked, "A winged tiger, a knight with magical abilities, a dryad, and... she paused. Who are you?", looking at Silitsia.
Silitsia was about to say something when Rodrigo interrupted. “Kanita,” he said loudly.
The dryad immediately lowered her bow and said, her eyes widening, "This can't be happening. Was the prophecy true?"
“So what’s your name?” Rodrigo asked curiously.
"Alessandra," said the dryad. "I am the dryad. I protect the forests and guide those who have lost their way."
“Great, so you’re going to help us,” Rodrigo said, relieved. “We’re trying to get to the Temple of Onir.”
Alessandra's face hardened. "Are you crazy? It's 120 days from here," she said. "A journey that long could be fatal."
"We understand," Rodrigo said, "But we have no other choice right now. We need to go to the Onir Temple to learn more about our powers and our situation. We would like to know how you can help us on this journey."
Alessandra took a deep breath and said, "I protect the forests, but it is my duty to guide them. If this journey is your destiny, I must help you." "However, first, we need to make some preparations for this perilous journey. I can offer you some advice and guide you on a safer path."
Rodrigo and Andres nodded, listening intently to Alessandra's words. Silitsia considered how crucial this new ally's help would be. Alessandra's knowledge of the forest and her ability to guide them could be a great asset on this challenging journey.
“Thank you, Alessandra,” said Rodrigo, “Your help will be truly appreciated.”
"Then come, let us make the necessary preparations and prepare you in the best way possible for this dangerous journey," said Alessandra.
Alessandra began her speech, detailing her itinerary:
