Anika took Erwin's hand and held it in her other hand. She stood behind the boy holding both of his hands.
Erwin looked up to her having a bad feeling about what was going to happen. He saw only evil in her eyes, the thirst to inflict back the pain that she was feeling in her heart.
Before anyone could ask her what she was doing Erwin let out a loud scream in the room. She was literally burning his hands with her desert magic.
His scream entered the ears of the queen, Valeria and Esteban. Although all three of them had no idea who the boy was, their hearts couldn't stand to see him crying.
They felt a pang in their hearts hearing his screams from the pain that Anika was inflicting on him.
The queen moved and snatched the boy from her while Esteban grabbed Anika by the neck and pressed against her tightly. He was choking the life out of her without a care in the world.
