I HUFF AS I ADJUST MY BLUE KEFTA AS I WALK DOWN THE HALL. It was heavy. And it felt uncomfortable I felt as if I was going to tilt over any seconds now. The designs on my kefta were pretty cool though, it was stitch with the color of orange-yellow and designed like flames. On the back of my kefta was a pheonix. Which I find kind of cool.
I've been feeling a bit different. Ever since that 'presentation' with king Pyotr, my energy has been odd. I've been feeling a bit more frustrated and I would just snap at anyone. I would feel this surge of energy wanting to burst out of me.
I walk down the stairs that led outside. Baghra. I think that's the woman's name. Earlier today Alina came up to me and told me about some woman named Baghra was waiting for me in a hut. Which was where I was going right now, I honestly don't know what she wants from me but I guess I'll find out.
I stand outside and stare at the hut warily. The inside was dark and it looked like it would lead to nowhere. Gulping I glance at the little palace behind me, thinking about life choices.
I suck in a breath and stare at the hut again before cautiously walking towards it. Once I walk inside I was hit with the humid air. It was hot in here, like extremely hot. As I continue to walk through the hut I pause my steps and frown. It looks as if there was no one in here. Is this a joke?
"Hello?"I call out walking down a few steps just to receive silence. I look around. "Hello?"I call out again.
My eyes wonders around the dark place. There was a small hole in the rocky roof letting the sun shine through along with some lit candles to light up the place just barely.
"You're late."A woman's voice spoke making me jump in fright turning around just to see a woman with white long hair behind me. "Just like that other girl."She mumbles. "Let me have a look at you."she walks around me eyeing now down. I turn around to face her.
"A pheonix summoner who wastes her time training with Botkin?"She spoke and I raise an eyebrow.
"It's not wasting time it's learning self defen-"she cuts me off.
"Quiet girl."She snaps and I press my lip in a thin line clenching my fists. "Are you going to punch your way through the shadow fold?" I stare at her buffled.
"Where's the rest of you?"She than questions looking down at my kefta. I look at my kefta before at her.
"W-What? Rest of me?"I stutter staring at her confusingly.
"How pity of you to not know of you're other half."She scoffs before turning around to sit on a chair leaving me standing there confused. Other half?
She gestures with her head for me to sit down on the chair in front of her. I hesitantly walk towards the chair and sit down.
"Do you know who you're parents are?"She asks taking me off guard. What kind of question is that? Of course I know who my parents are. They're drug dealing assholes who abuse they're child out of love. It's been years since I've seen them and if anything they're probably dead.
"Of course I do."I tell her and she raises her eyebrows.
"Who are they?"She asks and i eye her for a moment unsure. "Answer me girl."she snaps.
I suck in a breath. "Drug dealing assholes who abuses they're child out of love."I grit my teeth. She leans back.
"You really don't know much do you?"She hums. I raise an eyebrow. "Do you truly know who or what you are?"she leans forward.
Where is she going with this? I thought.
"I-Of course I do, I'm a fire pheonix who grew up in ketterdam and-"
Whack.
I hold my shoulder with a hiss and stare at her in disbelief. Did she just hit me with a stick?
"What is your prob-"she cuts me off.
"Listen to me carefully. You're parents aren't you're parents."She stares straight into my eyes. I stare at her puzzled.
"What do you mean?"i question her she ignores it and continues.
"You may have the ability to create fire but you have way more than just that."She says. I stare at her for a few moments letting the words sink in.
"Than what am I?"I question her hoping she would answer me.
"A crowned Phoenix."She answered and I stare at her dumbfounded. Waiting for her to burst out laughing and tell me it was a joke but all I got was just a stare. I blink a few times.
"A what?"i question. What the hell is a crowned pheonix? And what is the difference, I'm already a Phoenix.
"Are you stupid girl? Do you really not know what a crowned pheonix is?"She asks rather harshly. I eye her down silently. She scoffs. "Pity, I expected you to already know what a crowned pheonix was. I guess not."
"Than, tell me what it is."i huff annoyed. She raises an eyebrow.
"I prefer for you to figure that out on your own."She replies and I groan rolling my eyes just to get a whack from her stick again.
I hold my arm in pain. "Seriously woman what is you're probl-"
"Now, I want you to summon the fire on you're own."She changes the subject. I look down at my lap not knowing what to say. My powers only come out with my emotions, I don't think I can actually summon it.
"N-no."I mumble barely loud enough for her to hear.
Whack.
"Speak louder."She orders while I hold my arm in pain staring at her with a hint of anger and frustration.
"I said no!"I raise my voice. The candles that were in the room lit up even more and I feel my eyes glow. Bahgra looks around before looking at me with hardened eyes. She stand as up and pulls me up as well.
"Anger. They come out by emotions, you really need to learn how to control yourself before you destroy the whole world."She hiss and i suck in a breath.
Destroy the whole world? I thought.
She pushes me towards the entry. "I suggest you leave before you end up burning my hut down and better come back more prepared."She says. I stare at her for another second before turning around to leave.
Well that was eventful.
