They took down the Beast while Ethaniel fell on the arms of his sister. Phronyx went to Ethaniel and healed him. Ethaniel arose, feeling light-headed. His vision blurred when he stood up to sit down and the Phreanyx siblings started talking.
"We have to get out of here before it's dark," Phoiryx told the two siblings.
"What we have to do is obvious. We send a distress call for help." Phoerix blurted out.
"And what? Let Master look down on us?" Phoinyx snapped.
"Master isn't like that, he will-"
"Let's not call the others, okay?" Phronyx retorted.
The siblings looked at the four and scanned them.
"You guys won't be saving with just the three of us. Make sure you stay in the back and support us."
"Where is Luciel?" Phoerix asked. The Phreanyx looked confused and worried. He scanned the area and found nothing.
April stood up and helped look around to find Luciel.
"He wasn't here when I arrived..." Ethaniel murmured enough to let the others know while holding his head.
"We need to start moving. Nighttime isn't the best time for anyone who is inside the forest." Phronyx said. The Phoenyx turned around and started heading the opposite direction.
The rest stood up too and followed Phronyx. "Be careful around when walking around here."
"Sunset is about to happen, Brother!" Phoerix groaned at Phronyx. "We will not be safe..."
Something roared it was there laying on a big branch of the birkwood. A tiger looking beast with an Icy structure. Staring and staring at them. the Phoenyx's wasn't scared because they knew it was harmless.
"Icyn, it has been over 6 years since we last saw each other," Phoiryx said to the beast. The beast replied with a roar.
"Don't worry it's because that is Phreanyx pet," Phronyx explained.
The four sighed in relief. The Beast continued to stare until he looked at the sky as it was going down. The beast then vanished into thin blue smoke. The smoke travelled in the air and went up high, just like that the four were dumbfounded and were confused.
"Night's coming and then there is this Problem," Phoerix said and looked behind him.
There it was, a beast filled with animosity. Groaning it looked at the group.
"STAY BACK NONE OF US IS ABLE TO HANDLE THAT! The Sabertooth Alpha... There was an Alpha around the black Sabertooth..." Phronyx pushed the group behind him.
"Brother! The signal!" Phoerix insisted.
"Everyone stay behind me. It's going to be fine. I'll hold him off you guys run." Phronyx whispered. The group nodded at the plan.
A sudden bush movement and steps were heard from the left side of the group. There came out Luciel who was shocked at the revelation.
"Luciel!" shouted April at the young Warrior.
"Stop! Don't move. You guys RUN! Now!" Luciel commanded the group and they followed and ran away only leaving behind the Phoinyx's siblings and him.
The Alpha sent a strong roar that pushed the four of them back. It groaned and started attacking.
"Phoerix. Lend me your power." Luciel pointed his fist at Phoerix.
Phoerix fist-bumped Luciel's fist and now synchronizing their every move.
"Phronyx, you heal. Phoinyx you assist at our back." Luciel handed them the roles and started his summoning.
He summoned his spear and pointed it to the Alpha. Magic circles appeared above the Beast and spears started coming out of it. Then it was followed by the spell of Phoerix which was shake and Earth Crush. The Beast fell down the trap and was crushed and the following spears pierced right through the earth and headed towards the Alpha.
"Use it. Phoerix use it." Luciel begged Phoerix.
Luciel knew that Phoerix hid his skills from his brothers and other people because they both were linked and Luciel saw the potential the Phoenyx was holding. Phoerix didn't agree and shrugged.
"You can't disobey. I'm linked with you." Phoerix stiffened at what Luciel said.
Phoerix hesitated. "Fine! You asked for it! Stay away from my front." Phoerix said.
Luciel stepped in his spear and flown behind the Phoenyx.
Phoerix closed his eyes and the earth started breaking. The Beast was coming out until Phoerix started vibrating with a massive amount of energy. He slowly opened his glaring eyes. He raised his left leg... made his stance and kicked the earth. The great power it held destroyed the earth in front of him.
"Tremble before me." Phoerix eyes changed into Beautiful Brown Eyes. The eyes of the Phoenyx glowed and vibrated. Angel wings appeared on his back and coloured itself brownish with vibrating orange.
The Alpha was threatened and trembled in fear. It was gravely injured, but it still has enough power to fight. It growls... It leapt his way through the Phoenyx. Phoerix didn't know how to control his power resulting in him getting attacked.
"PHOERIX! Poison!" Phoinyx shouted and headed towards his brother who was under the beast. The beast was about to kill the Phoenyx when Phoinyx's poison pushed it back. It was gasping for air and roaring in agony.
"Luciel! Finish it! I'll take care of my brother!" Phronyx shouted.
"First Form Spear of Az Mabar. The great divinity, Punishment." He dropped himself off the spear he had. The spear went to the sky and transformed into one great Lance. Luciel pointed out the Beast and focused his power. The massive Lance headed towards the Beast and it was torn into two leaving behind its blood and massive leftover energy.
The night had arrived the moment Luciel slashed the Beast. Howls in different parts of the forest echoes, unending...
"Night came. W-we have to find the others! Threat is now awake!" Phoerix said.
"NO! THREAT?! YOU SAID HE DIED!" Phoinyx panicked. She carried her brother and started moving towards the path the group headed.
"Who is Threat!?" Luciel walked towards Phronyx confused.
"Threat? Threat was the so-called king around these areas... He is someone that we can't handle." Phronyx sighed and followed his sister.
Luciel summoned his Spear. He flies towards the siblings. "Hop on. We have to hurry."
They all had no choice but hopped in. "Why aren't you guys unable to turn into Phoenixes?" Luciel blurted out.
"We didn't receive a direction from Matthew. Without his permission, whether we wanted or not we couldn't turn into our forms." Phronyx explained while continuing on healing his brother. A big wound crossed his wings to his body.
"If that tiger could do this kind of damage, Threat can destroy us as if we were water." Phronyx continued.
"There! Inside that cave... their there." Phoerix pointed.
Luciel brought them to the cave. "You guys, go find them. I'll stay on guard, and I'll let you know if any threat is felt," he assured. They all agreed and continued into the cave.
Luciel looked around and the darkness gave him shivers down his spine. He thought for a moment about death and how he'd handle it.
He looked closely in the shadows of the Birkwood. Red eyes were seen staring deeply in Luciel's soul. Luciel jumped in fear. "SOMETHING IS HERE!" He shouted. He went inside the cave and covered the entrance with his spears.
He arrived panting back with the group.
"Threat has gotten our scents. Tonight will be impossible... Birkwoed wouldn't be seen any corner here. The only thing that can save us is..."
A great presence appeared out deep from the cave. Everyone felt shivers down their spines and jumped. "AHHH!!" April shouted.
"WHOAH!! Chillax, I don't randomly kill people." The person said. It was more of an entity than a person.
They all wondered what the thing was.
"Aklain! It's you... For Pete's sake, I thought it was something else... it's just you."
Aklain... the rest processed it in their heads. What is this shadow entity?
