At the eating area Sora was chasing Shadow around the table, Nimbus rolled her eyes at the two sitting at a chair. Star was having some trouble getting past the two to get to the table so she waited for the two to settle down. Eventually Sora caught up with Shadow and tackled him giving him a nuggy which got a scoff out of Nimbus. Me, Star, Emerald and Ruby walked to the table past the duo and sat down after a while more of waiting, Nimbus decided to start first who was then followed by Star.
I was next to start eating as Shadow and Sora finally got over the argument who joined us eating. Soon enough everyone was already eating Grusk arrived a while after we all started just as the conversation started. It was noisy but lively as well, I don't really like crowded and noisy places but this isn't it. After a while of eating and chatting Shadow and Gale left excusing themselves probably wanting to have a personal conversation.
I looked over to where the two of them went but didn't pursuit to go there unlike Sora who gestured for us to ignore her which we did as we did not want to get too involved in this. "So…" Ruby asked "Does anyone know more about the Phoenix gem other than it's colour which is orange?"
There was the soft sound of muttering before the answers of no but Star piped in "Well I have done some extra searching about it, I found out that it has the ancient symbol of the Phoenix engraved in it and is surrounded by a soft aura of fire. Although it does not harm anyone, the symbol is in the language of the Ancients which we can't decipher. It is said that whoever is able to do so will become a higher mage who does not need mana to cast spells related to what the rune means. It is said to be a great source of power although the user is unable to say or write what it means to anyone." She concluded tapping her chin with a claw and shifting her gaze back to us.
Emerald twirled the spoon in her hand "Interesting and it glows when close to the 'Chosen ones'?" Eyeing Sora with a mild expression of interest. Star nods as she picks up her spoon and continues eating. I turned to look at Sora who was looking astonished, now I was also curious like the twins. Star didn't seem bothered by it or she just chose not to show it which one I did not now but her tail was definitely wagging.
Soon enough Sora rushed back to her seat silently and sat back down shaking her head as if she was clearing cobwebs from her head. 'You don't want to know' she mouthed before bringing up another part of the topic "So… what is the date when the soldiers go off on a parade to scour every nook and cranny?" She asked Star who was the most knowledgeable out of the whole group.
