Aesatina and her mother found themselves in a recluse village of regular humans, during their escape.
The small one was too young and wasn't as good as her mother hiding her horns with magic, a second was enough for the crazed human population to separate them both. Apparently back then, demon body parts were used alchemical recipes and sold for a hefty price.
She wasn't eating as much, her body was frail and the chase was exhausting, her arm got cut off clean in one hit. And suddenly the whole village was destroyed.
