Chapter 4 - Chapter four The Phoenix‘s Heart

A crimson ruby necklace sat upon a navy blue velvet pillow. The ruby seemed to possess a tint of swirling orange and yellow hue. This is like nothing I have ever seen before. The craftsmanship is impeccably twirling the gold pendant setting. I heard a gasp from petite my handmade and best friend.

"Ma'am how did you get the phoenix's heart?" Kinsley asked as she entered the room carrying a tray of fruit, cheese, and a loaf of bread. She placed the tray down before inspecting the necklace further.

"The what "I asked as I rolled the pendant around inspecting the jewelry. She took the pendant and chain and gathered my wind blown hair.the pendant rested comfortably on the cleft of my breast. My skin warmed as the pendant intimate touch. I touched the ruby with my finger tip as She swiftly finished attaching the clasp. " I have never heard of this gem before..what's the phoenix's heart?"

It's exactly what the name is. It is the phoenix's heart. A Phoenix is a mythological creature when the Phoenix emerges at birth it's heart is solid rock . Through out its life time the rock heats up and right before death the Phoenix could remove its heart . It heart becomes this gem you have here. It's been said that once a Phoenix gives you it's heart freely it's yours for all eternity. He or she would loyally protect you til it's death. It's a romantic notion don't you think? she loudly sighed as she let go of my hair and rushed to get my bath ready. I pulled up the pillow that the necklace rest upon. There was a folded up paper underneath. In scrawled letter

I will be always with you for all eternity.

I read the simple sentence multiple times before placing it in my bodice. This is mine and for no one to see I thought . I smiled to myself I didn't want to admit it sincerely that the gesture is very romantic. " so, kinsley I have someone's real heart."

"Yes "she said as she poured the hot bathing water into the large tub. Kinsley hummed as sprinkled a Hand full of blood bane into my water. "Blood bane is the herb that rejuvenate and replenished elven souls and body" . She started as I lowered My weary bones ached from the rigorous adventure. "Tell me what happened when you got away from that vile creature lord Claudius?" she inquired as she unknotted my wind-blown hair.

Long story short I met a dragon and a ... phoenix

Oh my gosh could it be the same Phoenix that followed me home . I shook my head as Kinsley patted her hands dry upon her apron" aurora that gods shown you favor to have this treasure .keep it close to your heart. You never know when it will save your life one day" Kinsley started as I felt myself relax " at least I don't have to marry lord Claudius " maybe I could recruit one of the princes on my side ?"

What scheme are you formulating now aurora? She asked as I smirked. " I could talk a prince into a fake marriage". I tapped the fan to my lip.

A fake marriage that is prosperous notion?

Not if you choose the right person to help and I have my eye on one !"
