Leier's Past (Final)

In order to ensure Leier's survival, Sonia had used her furry coat to shield the little girl from the freezing environment, leaving her body bare and open to the cold. It was a miracle that she managed to survive through those three nights without using Mana to heat up her body.

"L-Leier"- Sonia's hoarse and strained voice sounded, her dry lips struggling to part from one another – "We must go!" – Those words struggled to escape her throat, barely audible in the frigid air, urging her daughter to move.
