« Rightful queen ? The demons ? Mother went to Meridan because she had to deal with your father ! But she never talked about demons ! Yelled the princess.
- Because my father rules over the demons too. It is way harder now than you think. Answered Ray.
- We'll help you. It seems that this situation is way harder than you make it seem to be. »
Izran and Liza Marie left to pack their stuff, leaving Ray with the guards. They both came back several minutes later, ready to leave.
Ray led them to the frontier between Meridan and Epheria.
« Here, we need to cross. » Says Ray.
Liza Marie and Izran looked at each other, not saying a word, and followed him. They crossed a desert, but arriving at mid-road, Izran stopped.
« Wait. Where are we going? This is going nowhere ! It's looks like a dead land !
- Because IT is. It's the place where the war took place. This place is a no man's land. And this is exactly where we need to be. And this is also why I needed a priestess.
He turned to the princess.
- Please, would you open a portal to the Void ?
Liza Marie stayed voiceless in front of the demand.
- Why would I want to do that ?! Are you crazy ?! She yelled.
- Because of what I said ! Don't you remember ? Responded Ray. Izran looked at him, tried to remember their conversation and then, he knew.
- Because of the queen ! You said we have to put her to her rightful place !
- Of course. And maybe my mistake was to not tell you right away what happened. » Ray looked down as he finished talking. Liza Marie and Izran waited for him to continue.
He sat down, and invited them to do the same, he took a deep breath and started talking.
