The Light Mage

Rea Mariyah's face was everything. 

Gone was the haggard countenance of the matriarch of the Mariyah Clan, replaced with a beaming one which was the face she used to have before all the things that happened to her children.

"This is my son, Chehin Mariyah. He's a prodigy in swordsmanship and he will continue to be one after you heal him, Lord Healer." 

Theta Mariyah never saw this side of Rea Mariyah. A fawning devil she was indeed! Though almost no one saw it, Theta did not miss Axue's abnormality. A knowing grin carved on her face upon guessing what Axue was worried about to show such a different reaction compared to her mother's.

'Aaah… Axue, you are still the stupidest among the siblings who always pretends to be the smart one.' Theta lamented at the back of her mind.

On the other hand, Axue Mariyah was indeed thinking about what Theta Mariyah expected of her.
