Leria had consumed much more mana than Aran on his first day and was now paying the price. Every spell she practiced gave her head a pang and made her eyes water.
She finished everything only thanks to sheer willpower and stubborn pride.
"I'm done." She clenched her head, feeling like it would explode if she let it go. "Give me a minute to rest my eyes."

"Sweetie, wake up. It's time for dinner." Rena's loving voice sounded like a death knell to Leria's ears.
"I'm coming, Mom." The moment Abominus stepped out of the bed, she flopped on his back. "Carry me, please. I don't have the strength to walk."
"Man, Leria looks terrible." She would have liked to glare at Aran and give him a piece of her mind but she was too hungry and tired for that. "Was I like that too?"
