  "????? ?????? ??? ?? ????"

  The queen remained silent for a moment, as if considering her words carefully, before responding seriously, "Because I don't believe that werewolves killed the previous queen. There's something bigger than that. Maybe an invisible hand is behind it. I believe this is just the beginning of a much bigger plan than just a war between us and them. The fire of discord has been burning for a long time, and it won't be extinguished before it reaps too much."

  Olivia paused, her eyes widening slightly at the enormity of it all, then said cautiously, "So what do you intend to do?"

  The queen looked to the horizon and said with determination, "We have to be prepared for anything. We have gathered some information, but we don't yet know where this will lead. I don't want to act on suspicion, but I know that what's coming is bigger than any war we've fought before. We will be at our most vulnerable during the lunar eclipse, so we must be stronger than we expect. Do what you think is right. I'll leave you in charge of protecting the kingdom; I trust you are up to the task."

  "You haven't seen in the past how werewolves and wizards lived together in peace, my child. So don't judge everyone by what you see now. This strife has consumed many of us. But, sadly, some did not understand this. And don't forget that an alpha werewolf was killed that day, and that only made things worse."

  The queen's words were sincere, carrying a burden of sorrow as she saw before her eyes how suddenly things had changed.

  Olivia nodded carefully and replied in a quiet voice, "Okay, Mom. I'm going to go now and get some rest. Good night."

  Olivia walked out, leaving the queen to continue thinking about those days.

  Flashback

  On a beautiful day in her childhood, Aniela was playing in the fields while her little sister Elizabeth excitedly chased after her.

  "Wait for me, Aniela! Why are you running so hard? It's not a race!" The girl with curly black hair and a pure white face said as she caught her breath, trying to keep up with her sister.

  Aniela giggled and laughed loudly. "I know it's not a race. I was just showing you my new skills. I'm not lazy like you!"

  Elizabeth replied with a cocky smile, "I'm not lazy! You are the future queen, so you should be practicing in all areas. As for me, I'm your little sister, so I should relax and take care of my beauty." She said as she rearranged her curls.

  Aniela laughed and said, "You can do all that, but with practice! We don't know what the future holds. You could be the queen one day."

  Back to the Present

  The queen woke up from her memories, smiled sadly, and said in a low voice, "Your words have come true, Aniela. I wish you were here with me now."

  She took a deep breath and then said confidently, "I know you're here. Show yourself now."
