109: Temporary truce

"I lost Maria's signal. I can't find her presence either" Suna observed as she spread her senses all over the cave network. She had been able to sense Maria all but a minute ago but had lost her signal in a matter of seconds.

It had not been a brief trigger as well, but a sudden silence from Maria's side. One second she had been there and the next second, it had all been quiet and calm.

"Did your friend finally die? What about my brother? Did she meet up with him?" Daniel asked in a worried voice. He had been tied up by Nao at the start of the whole mess and he had not been let loose till now.

One thing Nao had to say was that the kid had a vivid imagination for someone who was a demon. He had a lot of impossible scenarios inside his tiny head which amused Nao a lot when she heard him whine about unfairness. But those words were not always appreciative.
