"I'm sorry, you're here to collect what?", I'm starting to realise that this man is, a, complete, maniac. But his presence was overwhelming.
"Well my wife" he said with such a causal tone like it was something normal to say.
"I'm still 15, there's like another 10 months until I turn 16", I said trying to put reason in his head, but failing. I'm realising you can't reason with crazy.
"Fine, look we can't get married yet, but you should know there been an increase in Night Creatures, you should be careful, especially of the Moon spirit, he's dangerous. I failed to save you too many time before, I don't plan to do it again"
Times, again I don't know what him meant. I can't see his face. "There's an increase, that impossible, and how's the moon spirit dangerous"
"Well he's dangerous to you. I guess you'll find out. I wonder if your mania has started to appear" I could hear in the distance Raheem coming back, making the mistake again of turning around, he disappeared.
"Are you done with your suspicious conversation" Raheem said raising his eyebrows. "Who was that man", his last words were still repeating in my word what the hell is mania, did the original Phoenix have it, is that what turned her mad.
"Yeah I want to know to" I said mumbling under my breath, "So what type are you?" I asked.
"I'm a physical descendent" He said looking as if he wanted to ask me question. "You know Kai is a blend descendent, it quite rare, he's arrogant too, but the ladies love him"
"What's your point Raheem", his rabbling was annoying me, I just wanted him to get to the point.
"What's the deal with you two" he asked.
"I'm sorry" I said looking confused.
"You're forgiven. What I'm saying is, usually when girls talk to him, you know, they end up dating and then, you know, having like fun times"
"Fucking?"
"Yes that"
"I knew him for a little while when I was a child, he is my brother childhood friend. We met when I was 5, I was closer to his sister. But he was always so arrogant, it seems he hasn't changed much"
"I see, so you guys, never"
"Gross no, ew, no, just no. I'm 15 that's the last thing on my mind" for a weird reason I didn't studder thinking about being with Kai, I thought I hated him, but I feel like his overconfidence is cover, that there's more than a fuck boy.
"But, he literally broke up with Jessica yesterday. I kinda assumed it had some thing to do with you. He's never had a girlfriend longer than a month, him and Jessica were together for a month making her his longest girlfriend" Raheem seemed to know all the gossip going on, he would make a useful friend and he also seemed trustworthy and I like his humour.
"What's a Jessica. She sounds basic"
"I really can't argue with that. But she's annoying, and sadly she has a position is society that many people won't and can't challenge. Her family despise the royal family, so if I was you I would be careful."
"Awww, Raheem you sound like you care about me. But you're right I should be careful around her. Like I should probably try not to definitely antagonise her, or poke the basic arse bear" Raheem raised his eyebrow and it twitch it was funny to watch.
"Anyway, lets get back to class, we will get on with the tour during lunchtime"

Kai POV
The teacher stood in front of the class, it was the first day back, but we have a member of the royal family joining, not just that a spirit, we had a meeting when Lucas joined. "Students, we will be having a member of the royal family, she's also a Spirit Phoenix. Now I know there is controversy around the Pyro family and its rule over the empire. But school is not the place for such discussion. Phoenix is very advance and therefore will be placed in this class for her lessons. Everyone will be treated equal and fairly"
"I don't understand why, we should let her into this school, I mean who wants the disgraceful Pyro family in this school. And you say everyone will be treated equally. How come she has her own house and been moved into our class, which is for advance descendants, how do we even know she's advance. I mean we already have Lucas here, they were given no tests. I mean talk about kissing a God's ass" Jessica said causing giggles and head nods around the class. I mean she isn't wrong Lucas is so far behind everyone else in homework and classwork, but dominates fighting and training. They weren't wrong, the school seems like they are trying to get in good with the God's for blessings.
"Why don't you shut up Jessica. I've seen you do it" Lucas said with his eyes glowing, He looked enraged. Unlike most people, Lucas was never fearful of Jessica regardless of her position is society. Jessica continued to stare at him not backing down. Jessica was one of the people who are doubtful of how powerful Spirits are. Trying to read Lucas's mind was a different sensation, I felt drained but I could still read his thoughts, during combat session the other students describe feeling drained and tired as soon as they came into physical contact with him. The feeling was described being in fight with Night Creatures. However Phoenix it felt overwhelming silence her eyes looking at me like she knew exactly what I was trying to do, aware of everything. There was a knock on the door to the classroom Raheem walked in first while Phoenix walked in behind, unlike this morning she looked confused.
"Miss Bailey, I've shown Phoenix where all her classes will be but she still needs a tour of all the leisure facilities" Raheem said taking his seat.
"Thank you Raheem" Miss Bailey said. "Now would you like to introduce yourself to the class"
"If I must, kinda feel like, never mind. My name is Phoenix Pyro, I am the third Princess of the Pyro empire and the reincarnation of Phoenix. I am the daughter of the Sun, I hope we all can get along", she looked serious, that although she was being kind, it was almost a warning, suggesting that she shouldn't be messed with. Jessica raised her hand.
"I have a question for the new girl"
"Please ask away. I can tell you like being centre of attention" Phoenix said with fire in her eyes, I could tell she had done her homework. It would be wise to have Jessica as an ally not an enemy, but Phoenix looked like she couldn't give two shits. I find her more and more intoxicating, the fact I can't know what she's feeling, thinking, or whats she's going to do.
"Excuse me, -"
"You are excused", Raheem chuckled once she said that, its terrifying how similar they are.
"I just find it fascinating, that you choose to not live in the dorms with the rest of theses girls. Do you think we could get along with so much distance", Jessica knew what she was doing trying to get a rise out of Phoenix.
"Sadly due to me being the Daughter of the Sun I tend to burst into flames, it's not something I can control I would hate to hurt any of my potential friends. But I hope we can still spend time with each other outside of school" , she handled the situation well, from the looks of the other girls, Jessica will have competition of being the Queen Bee.
"That's very thoughtful of you Phoenix, please take a seat next to Kai, he is currently the top student in academics he will also be tutoring you" Miss Bailey said point to the chair next to me.
Phoenix POV
I could feel the daggering that Jessica eyes were giving me in the back, this girl is definitely going to be a problem. Her family's political standing in society poses a threat for us. She needs to be dealt with, the sooner the better. I need to ask Raheem what being she is and how powerful she is, I need to know how influential she is in the school. Lucas was staring at me, with longing eyes, in a way it almost feels like my old life again. ("Stay away from distractions, deal with the problem, its best to set an example"). My grandmothers words echoed in my ears and vibrated in my mind.
"Class, tomorrow we will being doing a fitness test, and combat training so please wear the suits, it is to stop your powers from destroy your clothes and protect your skin from others" Miss Bailey said, I guess tomorrow Jessica will probably make her first move to embarrass me and to reinforce her position on the school hierarchy.
