The table went silent.
"What? You control earth. This is amazing." screams Emma
"Why does is matter?" says Lucas.
"Well we have all the elements. Lucas you are fire, and I'm water, Phoenix is wind or well kind of, and Grayson is earth." replays Emma
"What are we going to do?"
"Read the riddle one more time." says Grayson
"Guys, are you stupid? I know what the riddle means!" yells Phoenix
"Well, tell us! Wait! Before you do tell us, why didn't you tell us!" Asked the furious Emma.
"Ho... I just wanted to see you idiots try to figure it out." replies Phoenix.
"Well what is it?'' asked Grayson.
"First part is Sparta, second part is a person comes back alive and the third part is that only us, all of us, can save the world." says Phoenix
"Well, I think that we need training." says Grayson.
After dinner Grayson leads them through the dark forest.
"Where are we going? WEW! What is this mud. These are my only shoes!" yells Lucas
"We will get you new shoes, and we are going to my cabin. You can stay here for now." replies Grayson.
They walk upon a small wooden cabin. As they walk in Phoenix's eyes are blinded because of the sudden light. It reminds her of this morning.
"Well this is my humble home. I have a couple cots for you over here. I have blankets over there and a couple of books. We get up at 6, so better get to bed."
Phoenix looks around. The cabin was small and tidy. The walls were wood logs and mortor. The bathroom was all wood except for the shower and toilet seat. She was grateful for that.
"Hey Phoenix, I am going to bed, see you in the morning." says Emma's gentle voice.
" I am too."
Phoenix lays down and falls into a dreamless sleep.
