The group of students walked slowly into the dimmed cave. It was as black as night nothing could be seen. Mei Ling stayed in the back looking around as. They walked she had this feeling that something. Bad was going to occur brushing that feeling off.
She hurried to catch up with the others who were. Far ahead than she was. They stopped in front of a locked door it had drawing. All over it symbols that simplify something. But what one of the boys looked around for a torch.
Others following but Mei Ling just stared at the door. She felt connected to it somehow like it was. Calling out to her she reached her hand up. And touched the door closing her eyes when she felt this rush of. Power glide through her body it felt like.
Fire was burning her she started sweating. Her body became hot as her eyes struggled to stay closed. Then her eyes shot open she stared at the door before. Her the phoenix engraved on the door lit up. Bringing light into the cave Mei Ling's eyes were no longer.
The beautiful lavender colored ones they once were. They were now fired colored her pendant was also glowing. Her hand slowly drifted away from the door. As she took a step back the others followed. The door moved revealing the secret behind the locked door.
Behind it was a throne room covered in cobwebs. Mei Ling stepped in first looking around. Then she froze something was wrong. About the room the atmosphere was off somehow. "Show yourself" she demanded looking around. But nothing and no one not a sound was to be heard within.
The room only silence was to be heard. And no one was there except for them. "There's no one here girl" someone told her. Mei Ling turned around shooting him a death glare. "So your saying I'm wrong" she asked feeling offended. The boy simply chuckled.
"Yeah that's exactly what I'm saying" he answered honestly. Mei Ling smirked turning back around she wanted. To prove him wrong and to show him she wasn't lying. She looked around spotting a pebble on the ground.
She walked over picking it up before it throwing across. The room and almost hitting the statue of the phoenix. A middle aged man stepped out from behind the statue. His hands were behind his back walking as.
He eyed each student up and down before shifting his attention. To the girl who had nearly killed him. If his martial arts wasn't this good he would have been. Killed by a pebble holding up the pebble he throw it in front of.
The girl who's eyes returned to there true form. Lavender colored Mei Ling was confused when she saw the middle aged man. Standing before her suddenly the flute song started playing again. Mei Ling's head became dizzy her eyes became heavy.
And then she hit the floor fainted she was once again. Opening her eyes Mei Ling quickly stood to her feet. She gazed around the black familiar room. In search for the fire phoenix. "Relax my child I'm here" the phoenix said stepping from out of the shadows.
"What was that why did I suddenly behave that way" she yelled recalling what happened early. The phoenix flapped it's wings before leaping off. Into the air it circled Mei Ling watching her as if searching for something.
"Hush child I'm sure you have many questions and I promise. I will try my best to answer them the best I can" it said swooping down into a double swirl heading back up into the air. Mei Ling quietly watched she did have many questions.
"T-tell me am I immortal" she asked sitting on the ground. The phoenix didn't reply to her sudden question. There was no way to put it the immortal before. Her was raised as a mortal in the mortal world. There was no way to put it in a simpler form for her.
To understand what type of destiny she had and what. Awaited her out there in the world beyond the nine continents. There's darkness the devils will strike again soon. She had to prepare Mei Ling for what was coming.
Her way but how just how could she tell the poor. Little girl in front of her who she was and what she was. "Yes you are and so was your mother she was the a gifted. Little girl just like you that pendant around your neck she gave it to you.
The day before she died your father was a. Mortal at that time after being banished from the immortal world for breaking. One of our strongly honored rules your mother wasn't just any type of ordinary.
Immortal she was the phoenix goddess and now a descendent heir most take. Her place as the goddess which is you Mei Ling I hope you. Understand what I meant by destiny now" she replied before disappearing into the shadows of the room.
Mei Ling sat there trying to process what she had just been told. Was it true was she really the goddess if she was why did her father. Never mention it to her looking up she realized. That the phoenix had gone she seemed to be really good at that.
The sweat dripped from off the fainted girl. As she laid deep in her dream on the soft bed. She was placed in the students and elders including. The sect leader and middle aged man surrounded her. Her eyes slowly started to peel open. Taking in all the faces around her.
She questioned herself why were. They hovering over her like that she was. About to scream but paused when she saw the middle aged man. He had a pendant just like her's there was a. Eleven year old boy standing next to him he too also had a pendant.
Just like her's who were they she wondered. "Goddess your awake" the boy said beaming at her. Suddenly everyone in the room was bowing to her. "Phoenix Goddess welcome back" everyone announced loudly.
