Luna from the Past

CHAPTER 8 SOL THE PHOENIX

SOL THE PHOENIX

I was flying around this morning, minding my own damn business trying to figure out where the hell that portal came from. I have been looking for the thing that came out of it for two days now.  A portal will usually leave a magical ring in the sky that few could only see.  Only staying there for a short period of time. I personally was having a hard time finding it.

Having this gut feeling that it is in this area somewhere, I just don't know what I'm looking for and Gypsy was no help at all in that matter.  She blew me off like an old witchy hag that wasn't believing a word I was saying. So, I decided to go look for myself.

My thoughts get interrupted; when the hunters thought it would be nice to shoot my feathered ass down with an arrow. How nice of them. Right? Can you hear the sarcasm?

When I get the very chance, I'm going to eat them for a snack for shooting me down. The arrow pierced me on my side, underneath my wing, breaking off a little bit. I don't know how I'm going to get it out because it is in a really weird spot to begin with.  Also a little bit to short for me to grab with my beak.

The hunters were trying to come closer to me with weapons in their hands. Making me screech at them a few times. Telling them to back off. The presents that I have been looking for is near, I can feel it. Sensing that it's really close. Startling me.

I saw an aura coming around the corner of my eye. Shocked at what I was looking at. " This little thing right here, is what I've been searching for? For two days? You have got to be kidding me, she can't do anything. She is so tiny. There was nothing to her? What did she think she was going to do? " As the snarky questions came popping into my head. 

Approaching me slowly, she was twirling a blade in her hand, making me nervous. I screeched at her to stay put and she was more than close enough to me. All she did was shake her head and smile back making me. Only making more nervous now. Taking in her scent, I couldn't even place what kind of species she was. That's odd. What was she?

The tiny girl was walking with attitude like she owned the place, and no one was going to get in her way from owning all this. Watching her carefully, to make sure she didn't make any sudden movements that would put me in danger, raising an eyebrow of curiosity of what she was planning. The tiny girl stood in front of me in a protective stance. Twirling her weapons around more she started to speak.

" What a beauty. Don't you think? " Was all I heard as I was in complete shock at what I was looking at.

The tiny girl started taunting the men like crazy. Pissing them off as they started charging towards her. They didn't last but 7 seconds before they were completely dead. The moves that she used were so graceful, so natural, like she had been doing it her whole life. Making it look so easy to kill the enemy. 

She started walking up to me slowly, be cautious with every step that she was taking. She wiped her knife on her clothing and stuck it behind her. The girl started showing her hands. Putting her hands up in surrender.

I can see that she put her weapons up and putting her hand out show me that she had nothing. I felt this insane pull towards her. Looking into her eyes; I saw a sad story and the tiredness in her. Looking into her soul. I started feeling a connection that I haven't felt in ages. It felt amazing though alarming all at the same time.

She went to touch me; I gave her another warning again. As she put her hands up in surrender again.

The tiny person walked around slowly, looking at my wound. Studying it, she walked away to the closest tree that was next to us. Stabbing it. The tree started to leak. She picked up something then spitting it in her hand and doing it again.
