Standing before Mirsha, who was about to leave for the Raid of the Scorching Forest, "Is this about the thing with the shoes, and my clothes, mom? I told you, it's okay, I don't need any new clothes or shoes, I just want you and dad to be—"
It was only 5:30 am, but Lucia was already up. Mirsha smiled at her daughter.
"It's okay, I'm going to be fine; your mom's a great Hunter and Mage. If she begins trying, I can rise to the ranks like an unstoppable comet. Do you know what that means?"
"…"
"That means I'm the strongest, and no one can beat me, so you can rest assured and stop crying, okay, Lucia?"
The gentle fall of her voice caused the child to embrace her mother she didn't even know will return.
The trembling body and the raggedy of her breathe while she tried her best to contain the overflowing dam of emotion... she was afraid.
Just before sunrise, Mirsha left; her destination was the back parking lot of the Hunter's Association.
