Maya waved at me with that innocent smile of hers. She looks like she didn't do anything wrong. Seeing that face is hard to get angry with.
"M--My lady, you..." Blaze was jaw-dropping as he looked at her.
She giggles. Then, the dragon used his magic to lift her from his head. He put her down gently. Without thinking twice, Maya ran to me, hugging me tightly.
So do I.
Oh my gosh, I thought I never felt this embrace again. My hands stroke her hair gently.
"My love, I thought you were in danger or something. Thank goodness, you are fine." I whisper.
"I--I miss you, Ian," she confessed.
"Me too, love."
Maya looks up to me with a smile. But I didn't give her the same look. Her smile faded as she could see I was not in the mood.
"Maya, what's the meaning of this?" I ask.
"P--Please, listen to me first." she waved her hand. "Actually, w--when I ran from those demonic...I fall into the deep hole."
