"No one can go back to the past and start a new beginning, but they can start today and write a new ending."

As always, Miss Stone was teaching History with great pleasure. I was staring at the blackboard again, while everyone was listening with full attention to Miss Stone. This was a classic cycle for me in History classes.
As I continued my gaze with the blackboard from the moment I started my history class, my friend Gwen next to me pinched me so hard that I screamed.
"Ahh! Gwen what are you doing, for God's sake?"
Unlike me, Gwen looked at me calmly, performed the classic eye roll and pointed her eyes at Miss Stone. When I slowly turned my head to my History teacher, I saw that the teacher gave me pity.
"Elizabeth Vincent! Whatever I do, I guess I can't make you like my lesson! What do you say? Do you think there's still hope?"
Actually, Miss Stone was the greatest teacher you could ever see, but since she was a History teacher, it didn't matter that she was an excellent teacher for me. Ever since I was little, I was a girl who hated History. So I guess there was no hope.
"Miss Stone, I'm really sorry. But I can't focus on anything about History, unfortunately. I'm still not good at it."
"It's okay, Elizabeth. But I want everybody to listen to what I'm going to tell you now. I don't have much evidence of the truth of this event, but a myth doesn't hurt anyone, right?"
Hearing the word myth from Miss Stone was a bit surprising. After all, she was a History teacher and had to teach with evidence. It would not be right for her to give us false information. But it was the first time I wanted to listen to a History class.
I felt as if everything would change if I listened to these things. I listened to my inner voice and started to listen to Miss Stone.
"Long ago, the goodness, courage and beauty that flourished in a kingdom called Bluewand united and regained meaning, and they created a phoenix with feathers as red as the sun and eyes as blue as the sky. This phoenix had the power to rule the universe. Phoenix's name was Sky. Sky brought beauty and goodness to the universe. He did not mistreat anyone, he was kind to those who opposed him. The phoenix fire in Sky was so beautiful and strong that the seeds sprout wherever he went and the warmth covered everywhere.
"But on a very dark and cold winter evening, things were reversed. Sky was bringing the cold and freezing nature wherever he went. Sky could not stand the shadow and the cold and died. He was as warm and lively as before when he was reborn from his ashes. But he still did not understand why he used to be. Days chased each other, and while Sky was still ruling he received the news that his closest friend, Tania, a fairy, was dead. Sky was so overwhelmed with this pain that he hid the fire in a ruby for a while. The fire no longer gave him anything but pain and grief. He was horrified by the news that the wind brought him as he floated in the sky. His deceased friend Tania was actually alive, but did not forget to bring him pain as well. Tania not only destroyed Bluewand but took the ruby with some of the fire and tried to escape and the ruby fell from her hand as it slipped and fell apart. When the phoenix fire could not find its real owner, it burned and plundered everything. He shed tears when he saw Bluewand, which was destroyed and burned. As Tania stared in front of him, Sky was filled with anger and wanted to kill her, but he still didn't forget that he had answers to get. "
"'Tania! My old friend! I thought you were dead. But you not only did not die, but you also ransacked my house where I gave life. Why did you do this? What is your plan? Or weren't you the fairy I trusted for so many years? Answer me!' Tania always looked at Sky, whom she was jealous of, and saw how weak he had become. Now his eyes were not as blue as before, his hair was not as red as before, his posture was not as straight as before. 'Oh Sky! So I! You still don't understand, foolish bird? I cursed you. That's the reason you brought the cold, I added blue fire to your fire, Sky! And that blue fire is the lord of the cold. It weakened you and caused you to damage your surroundings. Sorry my old friend but you cannot be warm anymore. Because you do not know what is cold. It is not in your nature. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for the blue fire to cover you again… so death is calling you! ' Sky tried to stay calm while trying to digest what he had heard, but his anger was so vivid that he thought he could ruin everything without listening to it hot or cold. He had to be patient a little longer.
After one last word everything will end here.
'Well, Tania. Then I'm sure you also killed yourself with magic. Only that was expected of you. But I can assure you that I will really kill you here. My phoenix fire went out because of you and burned these places. You will pay for it, Tania!' Just as Sky was going to attack Tania with all his might, Tania suddenly shouted.
'O guardians of the sacred fire! Listen to my voice and make this magical contract effective! The fire of the ancient phoenix named Sky is only to be found in his body to give life to him, and only then is it full to enable him to regain his power when there is a spirit compatible with the hot and cold fires in him. This phoenix will retreat into the shadow and be reborn there, but when the time comes, everything can end as it started, and it may reach the first day as it did not begin.' Without the wrath of Sky, Tania gave her last breath, thanks to her own curse, and became dust and melted into the air. Sky said those that day, as the sun set and replaced the moon:
'I am the phoenix Sky, the most powerful being in the universe... I may be weak or betrayed. Let the thought that I will come back to the world with a clean-hearted spirit that will come to me one day, keep you on the alert. I will choose a soul for myself, this soul will harbor both goodness, courage and beauty in its heart!'"
