Phoenix POV
He's gone. "Damn it!", how, how did he know my name. His eyes looked like Cassie's but Cassie's alive in my old world. If, if he's here then that means that. I began to shake almost like my soul left my body, I felt a warm hand on my should.
"Nixy. Lets, lets go. I want to take you to an amusement park not too far from here", My father said, right maybe I misheard him. To be fair I've never been to the amusement park. He extended his hand to me, I reached for it and walked by his side.
"Dad, doesn't you back hurt?"
"I don't know what you're talking about"
"Well you're leaning to the side. Its, its because I'm too short isn't it"
"Whattttt, pfff no. You're just height deprived that's all"
"Isn't that just a nice way of calling me short"
"Here", he lifted me up and carried me in his left arm
"But, I'm heavy", started laughing, with his chest moving up and down. The village people stood in shock.
"Nixy, you're like a feather, if that. Don't worry darling I can carry you no problem", he said still laughing.

"Looks like we're here now", he said. I looked up and saw rides that were controlled by magic. It look terrifying yet fun at the same time.
"Wooow, this is. Woah, look how high that one ride goes," I said pointing at it. I guess this is what it feels like to go Thrope Park.
"Well do you want to get on some rides",
"Yes. Come on Dad. Lets go", I said while laughing.
-
"Let's get going. I'm sure your mother wants to spend sometime with you after dinner. So, here is the plan, we will go home, have dinner with your siblings. And your mother will tell you a bed time story"
"Okay, no problem. What story will mum tell me"
"Its been a story passed on for generations"

It was already night time, I was on top of my bed sitting at the edge whilst my mother brushed my hair. Her touch was so gentle, she hummed so softly. "Your hair is beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you other wise okay. I hope your hair grows longer than mine", she kissed my cheek warmly. "I love you so much baby girl", she hugged me. "You, Sia, As are my whole world. I wouldn't let anything harm you guys", this is what a mother's love feels like. A feeling of being loved, soothed, knowing someone would fight for me, worry for me, it felt beautiful, she braided my hair into a braid. "Now lets get you under the covers. So I can tell you a bedtime story", I rushed to my pillow, my mother laid on the bed on top of the covers, tucking me in, placing my head on her stomach, she rubbed my forehead moving down to stroking my cheek. "Well are you ready", across the room Fe flapped his wings, looking at each other me and my mother giggled.
"I think Fe answered for us"
"Okay then. My mother told me this story when I was young. Over 3000 years ago there was no such things as spiritual users, they didn't exist. The Sun and the Moon were the only Gods. The Moon longed for the Sun's light and asked the Sun for it. The Sun shared its light with it. The Moon created creatures beautiful in the Moonlight, the creatures served to protect people of Namyx", My mother said.
"Wait mum I though Night creatures were dangerous. And that the Moon was evil", I said
"Well, no they weren't always. You'll find put why. The Sun wanted to have a child, however the Sun didn't have a body of it's owe to carry the child. The Sun shared its power with the Ra family who praised the Sun everyday. Our great ancestor carried the Sun's child and gave birth to a daughter, she was born with bright golden hair, dark caramel skin and golden eyes, she looked just like you. She was the pride of the Sun, the sun named her Phoenix born in flames. The Moon wanted a child, so it shared it power to the Khonsu family who praised the Moon everyday the Sun. The Moon created scary creatures to protect Phoenix. The moon wanted to protect the Sun's daughter so the Moon made it that the creatures would disappear after touching the Sun's gaze. The Sun asked for the Moon to pay a favour. The Sun feared that her child would become lonely so the Moon created a child born to be the Sun's daughter friend, bonded for life, that her power would be his, to share everything just as the Sun did for the Moon and the Moon did for the Sun. The people of Namyx feared the powers of the spirit users, they hated the Ra and Khonsu family, as the powers of Phoenix and Luan where so powerful they could destroy the world. Phoenix and Luan fell in love destined to be together they became the first ever soulmates. But the people feared them, the power they would have together, they feared their powers separately, but together was unthinkable. The people of Namyx prayed to the great creator, asking for powers that could tame the spirit users. Suddenly people became magic users, the magic users separated and tortured Phoenix and Luan. Not realising that soulmates could feel the pain of the other. Being separated for too long Phoenix and Luan, died, hoping that in death they would be together. When you become soul bonded to your mate, being separated for too long causes death. The Sun and Moon became angry, outraged, there was a blackout, the Moon changed the creatures into beasts to punish those who had harmed their children, and the Sun shunned the people of Namyx, refusing to help. The people pleaded with the Sun and the Moon begging for forgiveness. In hopes of forgiveness they made a law that Soulmates could not be separated, they promised to protect the spirit users. They created the Pyro empire and the Luna empire and asked for one chance, to correct their mistake, to not make it again. The Pyro empire swore to protect the Ra family, the Luna empire swore to protect Khonsu family. The Sun and the Moon stated that Phoenix and Luan would be reborn, and that if anything was to happen to their children, there would be a blackout that lasts over 500 years",
"Mum?"
"Yes Darling"
"Are there any other Gods?"
"I don't know. It could be a possibility. Now its time to go to sleep okay. I love you to the Moon the Sun and the stars and back again", she kissed my forehead and I felt my eyes get heavy.
"I love you too Mum"
