Chapter 3: Fire and the Sun

I remembered to read the file! This world is supposed to be similar to my world's Arabia and I'm getting rid of a red-haired assassin. The file said their next target is someone of power. Chaos could rain all over this world because of this assassin. Time to assassinate this assassin.

I teleport into the world. Glad I went with a muscle shirt and sleeveless jacket. It's HOT here. I spot a girl dancing in the middle of the market. I landed in the most busy place in this world. Great- just great.

The girl's hair looks like a sunset. Her clothes look like a sunset as well. She's so pretty. She kinda reminds me of Gemma, only less snobby-looking. I can't help but stare at her. Everyone else at the market is staring. She isn't evil. Unless my target has an unknown accomplice.

The girl looks at me. She jumps and pins me to the ground. I see a dagger fly overhead.

"Be more aware of your surroundings, this place is dangerous" she says.

She literally just saved my life right when I landed here. I need to keep this in mind for the next world. Note to self- don't stare at pretty girls in the street, someone could slice my neck without me seeing.

"Who are you?" I ask.

I must know the name of my savior.

"I go by many names- you may call me Ari- nothing else" she replies.

She walks away. A small piece of cloth drops. I catch it. A calling card- great. I hope to see her again. My hero.

I spot a red and black figure on the roof of one of the buildings. It's hard to tell but it matches the profile in the file. It's Saffra. CRAP! I get off the ground. I teleport onto the roof. Saffra must have seen me. GOTTA MOVE FAST! I start my chase.

Mirabel is the best runner I know- Saffra is faster than Mirabel. I'm gonna die. I keep on chasing. I doge some daggers being thrown at me. Saffra dives out of sight. I see her in the street down below. AFTER HER!

I move quickly through the crowds. I can't lose her! She's back on a roof. I teleport up there. This is the tallest building around.

"Nowhere left to run!" I say.

Saffra grins- at least her mouth looks that way- she's wearing a mask.

"Catch me if you dare!" she says.

Saffra jumps off the building. I lost her. I think I know why Albatross's battle was first. How can I kill what I can't catch? I jump down to the streets. I need to keep looking.

"I got you kids some bread" a girl says.

I turn to the source around the corner. I see some kids on the street- I can't see the girl.

"Thank you mother phoenix!" a little girl says.

The girl laughs a little. What a nice girl. I feel my pocket vibrate. It's the phoenix feather earrings! The girl around the corner is a hero. With Saffra on the loose, I need all the help I can get. I put the earrings in the piece of cloth Ari dropped.

What am I doing- I need to find this girl! I start running down the street corner. Where is she? I see the kids munching on bread.

"Where did the lady that gave you bread go?" I ask.

The little girl points around the corner. This place is so crowded. I start running in that direction. I've been running all day. First I chased the bad guy, now I'm chasing the Mother Phoenix. I jump up on top of a building to try and find anything. The girl or Saffra- I don't care.

I summon my water bottle to me. I need to relax and rehydrate. I hear a dagger whiz past me. Right when I finish my water- great just great. I turn around. SAFFRA THE LITTLE-!
