Author POV
The cold atmosphere engulfed the room, scratching at the walls, clawing at the walls. The bitter taste was icy, and distant, corrupting the senses. The air was black and heartless, filled with evil intent, the loneliness clear to the eye. The atmosphere pricked the skin, slicing, cutting deep pocking the heart. The room was drenched in blood, burning in the icy room staining the walls, on the floor laid a body, shaking throbbing at the mouth. The body screamed banging the cage, the agony and pain was clear in his face, almost like a rabid dog, a beast going crazy. In the shadows a sultry voice spoken, soft and firm, overdosed with power.
"How many pills did it take this time" the Mistress said.
"Ummm, well it took 5 pills to cause this reaction. It would take 40 pills to have an effect on the a Spirit" A man with glass stood nervously by the cage checking his charts. The body started to puke blood and dropped to the floor.
"So, you're telling me that Elder tablets won't even knock out a spirit. What about the Phoenix, how will the tablet effect her" She asked.
"Well due to her powers as the Sun Spirit, she would have to constantly ingest the tablets, possible even have an IV drip"
"And why is that"
"Well as the child of the Sun her body will increase its temperature to burn through the toxins of the Elder plant"
"Hmmmm, well I guess we will have to deal with second best"
"However, it would take 2 tablets to knockout kindreds and descendants. Mistress, why are you so obsessed with the Phoenix"
"Because, the son of Death is so obsessed with her. There must be something special about her. I used to have a daughter back on my home. She was a pain in the arse. Anyway I digress, the son of Death has been hunting for me, ever since I came through the doorway from Earth 100 years ago. I traded the information he wanted for 50 years of piece but that's coming to an end. And i want to be ahead. Keep looking for something to kill a spirit"
"Why don't you just kill the son of Death"
"That's a very dumb question. He is the son of Death, if he could die he would have killed himself years ago after the first Phoenix was killed"
"I thought the first Phoenix died due to loneliness after the moon spirit died"
"Really is that the story they're going with, that's funny. I thought it was because the moon spirit drained the life out of her after she lost her mind to pyromania. They tell that stupid bedtime story to hide the truth.
"Truth?"
"That the Spirits are the most flawed out of all the beings"

Phoenix POV
The apartment, was filled of loneliness, I know tomorrow will be hard, and that Jessica will be a pain in my arse, I can see her causing issues for me. I wouldn't be surprised if she had planned something for tomorrow. We're going to be fighting tomorrow, I wonder who would win in a fight between me and Lucas. "I guess I could try and make myself dinner"
"Are you making me some" A man with a similar voice as Khaled
"The fuck are you doing-", the man was 6ft 2 with a slender yet muscular figure, he had a fitted long sleeve black top, with black trouser and a belt, his outfit didn't match the outfit of the current times. He had silky red hair that looked the colour of blood, it was dark it was up in a high ponytail that reached his passed his shoulders. His eyes were pure black, and his skin was olive.
"So, I moved my clothes into our wardrobe" he said like it was casual.
"You're insane, you can't come into my apartment and move in, are you crazy"
"Well we are engaged, so I don't see an issue. Plus a person of interest is here. And I also have to monitor you, make sure you stay away from Luan and keep your mania in check"
"I don't have mania, and LuCAS isn't a threat"
"So are we gonna share a bed", he asked with a huge grin on his face
"No"
"Why"
"Because my hair is too long and I need to lay it out so it doesn't get caught"
"Has your hair ever turned white"
"Only if I fully engulfed myself in fire", he sure is asking some weird questions. "You can sleep on the floor, or the sofa. I need to get myself ready for tomorrow"

"Alright students, now please keeps in mind that once you are within the battle walls, please know that any destruction will be repaired with in seconds due to the magic. Alright for now we will try to match you up according to power ranking, energy ranking will not be considered. This is about teaching you tactics, if your opponent has more energy, you must find ways to overcome this", there was many whispers and mummers, everyone seemed to step away from me and Lucas, I guess no one wanted to be put against us, Lucas was ranked at level 4 and I was ranked at a level 2, in an attempt to hide my strength, the Humanist already hated us.
"Is it fair that we could get pitted against a spirit, I mean, I think they should fight each other", Jessica said so proudly.
"Jesus Christ, shut up", I mumbled to myself .
"Okay, so the first pairings are, Raheem and Michel, Kai and Lucas, Phoenix and Jessica ..." that was music to my ears, I can't wait to wipe the floor with her, I looked over to her, she had a cocky look on her face, she believed I was a rank 2 in spiritual power when in actual fact I'm rank 5, Lucas is too but he's trying to not draw too much attention to his power.
