A Message From Azazel
Cassandra and the monstrous creature were in the middle of the crowd of witches, screaming anxiously.
"CASSANDRA!"
Aether immediately ran from behind Cassandra and hugged her beloved daughter. Meanwhile, everyone immediately whispered and was surprised to see Cassandra arrive together with that terrible figure.
"She is descended from eight of your ancestors. Lord Azazel wants to fight with her in the fifth heaven, Cassandra Aether. HA HA HA HA!" screamed the terrible creature who claimed to be Azazel's subordinate.
"She's not Cassandra! She is--."
"Stop making lies Queen Lilya, she is Cassandra and everyone here has been lied to by your selfishness! That woman is not Cassandra! She was only used by Queen Lilya because Cassandra couldn't use black magic! HA HA HA!" cried the messenger of Azazel loudly.
"Can not be trusted!"
"All this time our king and queen have been lying?!"
"Cassandra should have been sent to the purple valley! This is not fair!"
Whispers from other witches began to sound, and they protested because the black kingdom had betrayed its children and people.
"Let her go! Don't involve Cassandra in anything!" cried Aether loudly.
Aether was already preparing to attack Azazel's slave. Still, quickly the terrible creature lifted Aether and Lilya's bodies together, followed by the king and queen of the white kingdom, who were also in the crowd.
"You won't be able to go against Lord Azazel's will, you fools! You are just stupid and weak magicians! Cassandra! Meet us in the fifth heaven 75 days from now. If you don't come then all wizards and witches will be annihilated including the kings and queens of the black and white kingdom. Only you can save them, that's if you win. If you lose, then you will be taken to be a slave for Azazel and so will all the other magicians. You will serve us! HAHAHAHAH! You just choose to come and win and save all these stupid witches, you come and lose and make all of Azazel's slaves or you don't come at all and destroy all the fate of witches to dust? We await your arrival, Cassandra!"
WUUZZ!
"NO! CASSANDRA!"
At the end of the sentence from the messenger of Azazel, the terrible creature flew immediately, carrying the two kings and queens of the black and white kingdom. The screams of Aether echoed through the black sky that came to greet them.
"RAWWRRGHH!"
CTAR!
As the black sky disappeared, a terrifying groan brought a thunderbolt that struck right in front of Cassandra.
All eyes are now on Cassandra. Elijah, who was turned into Cassandra, immediately embraced her cousin while crying.
"Cassandra! It's all up to you now! Like it or not you have to be able to fight them!" cried Elijah.
Cassandra, still in shock, immediately shook her head, her eyes watering, and she said, "No! I could never do that!"
"You are the one we can rely on now, Cassandra! Look, I don't care and don't want to know what happened to the black kingdom so your mother lied to us by replacing you in today's fight. What is clear, the devil wants you! You must take responsibility and come forward to save all the witches including our parents!" cried Prince Dylan, son of the white kingdom.
"Then why don't you just fight and save them? Aren't you also part of the lineage? Don't force everything on me! I can't! My parents are not even happy to have me! I'm just a stupid girl trapped by white magic! Like you said, I'm naturally in the purple valley!" Cassandra shrieked, her voice quivering as she held back tears.
However, what had happened just now made everyone panic and immediately pressured Cassandra to act. Yet, no one tried to calm Cassandra from panic.
"You have heard what the creature said yourself, Cassandra. You can't dodge and throw your responsibility on us. All witches depend on you, if you don't manage to save them, you'll regret it for the rest of your life! You should be the one Azazel took without sacrificing my parents and us!" shouted Prince Dylan. He pointed at Cassandra roughly.
Cassandra couldn't act anymore, and all eyes were too sharp on her. She immediately stepped back and dashed out of the crowd.
"Cassandra! Where are you going!" shrieked Prince Dylan.
Dylan tries to chase Cassandra, but Elijah stops her.
"Leave her alone first. This must be very difficult for her," said Elijah, "And as for the other magicians, we should have a talk in the palace hall. Come on follow me!"
Elijah led the way to all the witches who were still anxious and restless. Meanwhile, Dylan stared at the palace full of emotion and said, "Watch out you Cassandra! I will not remain silent, if both my parents die!"

"What should I do?! Does all this have anything to do with all the dreams I've had so far? Why should I?!" Cassandra muttered. She sat limply in front of the door.
The screams of the father and the terrifying figure of Azazel's slave upset her.
"Cassandra! Cassandra!"
From the window of Cassandra's room wide open, Gomiko flew fast toward Cassandra. He immediately hugged Cassandra's face and floated in front of his best friend.
"Are you okay? I'm really worried about you! After you guys left, I had a hard time getting out of the tower, it felt like my wings were too heavy to move," said Gomiko.
"I'm not fine, Gomiko! They want me! What should I do?! You have to help me!"
Cassandra grabbed Gomiko and looked at him with teary eyes.
"What happened to you?! I don't know, Cassandra?!" Gomiko said as he tried to free himself from Cassandra's grip.
"That demon wants me, Gomiko! He said, I have to save all the magicians and my parents who were held by Azazel! What magic do you think I can rely on?! Everyone down there is pressuring me! I can't think!"
TOK…
TOK…
"Cassandra?! Can we talk for a second?!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Cassandra and Gomiko immediately closed their mouths until no more sound could be heard between them.
"Cassandra?! You hear me?" someone asked from the front door.
Gomiko flew towards Cassandra's ear and whispered, "We have to get out of here. I'll take you, Cassandra."
Cassandra was wide-eyed. She then raised her eyebrows and shook her head. However, Gomiko quickly flew towards the window, and the little furry creature turned into a blue dragon in an instant.
