Prince Benjamin's POV
We have been out on our mission for three weeks now and I want to leave even for a while and visit the magical forest, yet demons and Prince Lucian's followers have now surrounded the entire castle, and we are waiting for their assault. I felt restless and got tired; we don't have enough sleep. Most of the time we tried to help the neighboring towns and valleys to heal the soldiers and civilians, and we return to protect the castle.
I want them to strike so this will be over and I can see Amara before her birthday; I am so afraid that I won't see her again. Their birthday is now one week away. I wish she is still holding on. I know Amara wants to depart from the magical forest, yet she can only do that after she will become the Deity, and it only means one thing: I can't look at her anymore. I can feel the emptiness in my heart and the pain.
