Chereads / The Last Fire Warrior / Chapter 8 - Returning home

Chapter 8 - Returning home

Angeline saw Leona was waiting for her. She really enjoy watching the view outside there. She waved her fluffy grey tail from side to side. She is really acting like a cat. "Sorry for waiting," Angeline said to her. "Princess!!" she jumped at her as she purred. < Her body is smaller than I thought. > Angeline guessed. "Ohh...nice pendant you have there," Leona said as she placed Leona on the floor. "Guys, come with me. I wanted to show you something amazing." Angeline called them and brought them out of the castle. "Can you just do it here?" Zack asked. "Unless you want this castle to break into pieces" Angeline chuckled as she walked out.

Leona followed Angeline cheerily. She loosens her pendant carefully and tossed it as high and as far as she could. They all gasped. "Oh my..." said Ella. Suddenly, the pendant that she threw glowed and turned into an enormous beast. "Greetings, my lord" the pheonex bow. "So, in front of these guys, I want to know your biggest wish."

He landed beside me. "I just want to go back home. Its been a while since I left my family." He said. "Really?! Alright, wishes granted. Let's go" Angeline said happily as she wanted to start her first journey on this land.

"Thank you" he thanked her. "You can sit on my back," he said. "Where are you going, Angeline?" Velna asked her anxiously

"To my first advanture," she said. "Take care, Angeline. If you didn't hold tight enough you might fall". Ella gave Angeline a piece of useful advice. She knows that Angeline will take time to arrive there. "Should we go now, Mr Beast?" Mint sighed.

"Anytime when you are ready," He said. "Okay I'm ready" She sat on Mr Beast's back. His feather is very soft and comfortable. When he flew higher and higher, Angeline saw many new amazing things. Like a group of fairies danced gracefully in the middle of a crowd. < Flower party > she thought.

In a moment later, the region began to cold. The snowflakes are very beautiful as the lynx, polar bear and a Siberian wolf were playing together. They are so cute and maybe fluffy enough to sleep on. Angeline also saw a white kingdom stand proudly between the pure snow. Suddenly, ice crystals was shot at us. Luckily, the ice crystal melted by Mint. Angeline looked down but she couldn't see clearly due to the distance among them.

After several moments, the region changed to its normal temperature. She saw the blue beautiful ocean as they flew lower and she touched the water. They flew higher as Mint saw a volcano and stopped it. "Finally..." she talked to herself. "So this is your home?" Angeline looked their surrounding as she saw nothing except the lava and rock. "Hold tight," he said.

"What was that?AHHHHhhh!!!" she screamed as he dived into the lava. She closed her eyes because she was afraid that she will fall. "Alright. We've arrived." Angeline opened her two eyes and saw the various colour of pheonex. It's very wonderful just like in a dream. There was blue, red, pink, purple and etc. They landed on the hot surface. "Auch!!" Angeline said in pain as she nearly tripped of by a random small rock. "Follow me closely". He told her. Her expression is like- "Excuse me ... who do you think you are?" Anyways she didn't wants to be eaten by those colourful beasts. She hid under his wing. So warm and soft. "Where... we are up to?" she asked curiously. "Face the king..." he said with a big smile on his beak.

[ Several minutes later]

They saw a big white pheonex perched on his throne. They bow to the king. "I'm back Cloude!!" Mint said as he opened his wings. "Who are you?" Asked the white beast. "How could you didn't recognize me, brother." He gave a cute sad face. "Minty?" Cloude, the white beast frowned. He flew toward him and they hugged each other. "Mr Beast...? So... your name is minty?" She pretends to be confused "Told ya," he said. Cloude looked at Angeline and said "You called him 'Mr' Oh come on, how come my cute little mint called that by a young lady" Cloude laughed. "Btw who are you?" Cloude asked her. "I'm Angeline Wilson, the fire warrior" she said proudly.

"Welcome to the tribe, princess" he welcomed her. "You know minty...even though you have passed the evolution phase, you still weak just like the old-time" cloude burst a laughed. "Hey, hold your beak."

"Mr beast... no... I mean mint. What is your colour before the evolution phase?" she asked. "As you can see, every young pheonex have their own special colour."He explained. "And when I was young I'm green in colour that's why I called mint. But after the evolution phase, pheonex only has two colour. Male is red and female is yellow in colour."

"How can you recognize them?" I asked. "Hmm... I will show you later but follow me first" Mint said as he lowered down his body for Angeline to hop on. "Yes, I loved to" she walked fast toward them and she climbed on his fluffy back. They flew besides Cloude and they perched on one of the giant branches. Mint plucked a fruit for her as a token of appreciation for letting him return back to his home. The fruit was so big and tasty until she had to hug it. "Hey mint, come here" Mint come beside Cloude. "Is that twilight?" Mint asked. "Ohhh...look who is happy" he grinned as he teased Mint. Angeline looked at twilight. She was so beautiful as her blackish-purple feather shines by the sunlight from above. "Mint may I take a look at your pattern?" Cloude asked Mint and Angeline climbed down from his back and Cloude observed his pattern.

"I can't see anything..." Angeline told Cloude with a confused face as she ate the fruit. Cloude looked at twilight and mint several times. Cloude smiled. "I knew it." He shouted and laughed. The others looked at him in confused but he didn't care. He whispered at mint and he started to blush. "Don't do anything stupid Cloude." Mint said as he frowned. "Looks like our adventure ends here." Cloude looked at Angeline. "Why so fast..." she asked him with her puppy eyes. "I must send you back to the castle or they will think I already ate you," Mint says after him.

"Okay... Let's go." Even though it was only for a while but she gained lots of new experienced. "Good bye, Cloude." She waved at Cloude. "Come and visit here next time." He said. "Mint...why is the lava didn't do anything to me? Was the lava is part of your power?"

"If you want to ask my opinion, that is your power. You are immune to fire and other hot stuff."
