It's been a week being stuck here... and I slowly feel like death itself.

My body ached all over the place. So apparently I am in the Uchiha territory which is quite infuriating how I just found out now. I am very well mistreated within these walls which I'm not surprised about at all.

It's not like they brutalize me or detriment me by sending harm my way. It's just the way they order and demand me around like brutes they are. Especially guards watching my every move. I felt like I was walking on eggshells.

The door to the room I was being held in... burst open making me jolt in fear.

"I heard you were giving the guards trouble earlier." The Uchiha leader seethed in anger using his eyes to petrify me vehemently. My fingers twitch at his poisonous words while I sat on the cold hard ground.

"Hmm, seems like you've lost your sense in talking. So I take it was true then?" He arched an eyebrow crossing his arms over his torso glaring vigorously at me.

"You'll be escorted to the main hall, I will be expecting you to be there." He slanted his eyes and turned to leave slamming the door on the way out. I then quickly went to get dressed spontaneously. Well, I was mostly fond of wearing red and obsidian black kimonos and pitch-black leggings. I brushed my hair quickly. I quickly left my room to be escorted by two middle-aged guards.

We came to a full stop as I pursued my lips together in a straight line as we entered a large room. The room was very idleness, very chaotic and cluttered. Scrolls scattered everywhere which wasn't a surprise.

"Ah, about time you hurried Aquila-chan." One of the elders Takumi I presumedly cantillate.

I diverted my gaze off of him and looked at the clan lord and waited for him to commence. He sharply looked at me sending a scowling look.

"So you're mute. Not willing to speak to anyone." He ripped his gaze off of me and looked at one of the elders who scoffed at my presence. I couldn't help but feel melancholic by being here in the first place.

"Tell me what you found out about this Phoenix Aiko?" His order was more of a demand and very arrogantly portrayed.

"O-oh um yes leader-sama." He stuttered as he gathered a few scrolls opening each one promptly but was slightly wavering with his hold.

"So according to the old folklore from centuries ago before the Sage was even known or even became a legend in today's world. Aiko was a very anomalous and an abnormal creature that and at first, was found in crowded areas protecting the villages. However, humans were never satisfied with him being around in the areas and around the neutral countries. They despised him; he was never appreciated for his effort. So the great Firehawk felt sorrow and grief at the way the humans treated him and left the neutral countries isolating itself from the rest of the world. I think that is everything on this scroll." Shuji the young raven-haired boy explained in an allocution matter. I comprehended every word he said and felt bad for the Phoenix.

"Is there any background why the Taiyo's had their grubby hands on the Firehawk from the beginning?" Leader-sama started to bellow with rage.

"It doesn't explain leader-sama." Shuji bowed down politely as he trembled slightly perhaps with fear. "So why did you exactly call me here, Uchiha-sama?" I sneered at him. I ignored his rebuked sharp eyes glaring at me with animosity.

"You're going to train with one of the advisers within the Uchiha Stronghold. I am expecting you to improve your strength and transacting your further process as a kunoichi." He stated arching his brows as I nodded firmly. I was dismissed back to my corridors.
