An awkward silence hung in the air after Mira asked that question. It's not that Elenei didn't want to answer, it's just that she was too embarrassed. She, a Phoenix, a creature that could basically run amok in this mortal world unmatched, could not even make it to the other side of this continent.
After a few seconds, Elenei finally opened her mouth and said something that not only shocked Mira, but The Guardian who was watching over her was also slightly bemused.
"I…I'm…lost..."
…
Mira just stared at the Phoenix in silence as she truly didn't expect such an answer. She felt like she heard wrong, she felt like she just heard a Phoenix, a queen of the skies, say she was lost.
"What? I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that. For some reason, it sounded like you just said you were lost."
Elenei hung her head low in shame as she didn't expect this situation either.
"...I'm lost. I have no idea where we are at the moment."
