บท 247: Maria

"Mother, do shooting stars fall during the day?" A young girl with two little horns poking from her forehead asked innocently.

Her mother, a full grown demon with blood running down her right arm smiled. "No dear, they don't. Why are you asking that?"

"Because I want to know what that is." The young girl pointed in the direction opposite of the mother.

The mother turned back in terror to see a flam covered man shooting towards them. The city around the mother-daughter pair was already in ruins with a few people running around in terror.

'If only we had managed to get to the evacuation site on time…' the mother immediately picked up her daughter and hugged her to her chest.

She turned in the opposite direction of the flaming man and ran at full speed. It was then that she wished that she had a lightning or wind affinity.

"Mom, I am scared…" The little girl whispered before burying her head in her mother's chest.
