I smiled brightly in awe as my mom told me that beautiful story, and then I exclaimed, "Mommy, I want to be a fighter. When am I going to get my powers?" My bright, diamond-colored eyes glowed in anticipation as I twirled my blonde hair.

Rein (mom): "You will get your powers when you need them. don't worry, sweetie."

Daemon (dad): "All you need to do right now is grow up."

I jumped up and said, "Yes, I'll become a big girl and fight the monster!"

Mommy and Daddy laughed and said, "Yes, Ari, you will become a great fighter!"

After a leisurely stroll in the park, we gathered our belongings and departed for our residence in our car, arriving shortly after.

Mom: "Ari, go upstairs and change while I make you a sandwich for dinner."

I ran up the stairs, saying, "Right, Mommy." After some time, my parents took me to bed. I laid down under my covers, and my parents sat at the side of my bed and looked at me with loving eyes.

Dad: "Aria, you know me and your mother love you very much, right? You are the star of our lives. Always remember that."

I looked at them and said, "Yes, I know you love me very much!"

Mom and dad: "Anyways, Ari, it's bedtime. Have a good night's rest."

"Good night," I whispered, closing my eyes and falling asleep. Then, after a few hours, I ran downstairs to find my parents leaving after hearing people yelling for their lives and that something was burning. In a hurry, I asked them, "What's going on?"

Mom: "Aria, come on, we have to leave!"

Dad: "It's a dungeon break when the creatures inside the tower get uncontainable and they break loose."

My mother took hold of my hand, and we hurried outside, where we discovered burning houses and an abundance of creatures. We hurried down the hill, dodging as many creatures as we could, after my dad pulled us. Abruptly, we spotted a lion with a human head. It turned around and came flying toward us as I let out a startled cry.

My mother extended her hand, and a ball of fire appeared between them, shooting a broad beam that was quickly avoided. Before it could attack, my father raised a stone shield, so we fled in the opposite direction. However, it leapt into the air and stopped in front of us. My parents exchanged a look, and then they looked at me.

Mom and dad: "Sweetie, it's alright. Remember, Daddy and Mommy love you till death."

And then I sensed a shove. After landing on the ground, I pivoted. "Mommy, daddy?" Then I saw my parents fleeing away from me behind an enormous stone wall, but I cried out, "Mommy, Daddy!" as I heard them go. The lion then approached me carefully.

I kept walking backward till I came to the wall as it inched its way toward me. I held out my arms and begged, "Please, I don't want to die." However, all of a sudden, I had a strange energy surge that raced through my body as a crimson beam shot out my pams, and the floor surrounding it spat out and spiraled around it, creating something beautiful. After a while, I glanced up to see a gap in its body and realized nothing had happened to me.
