The rise of Phoenix kotlc

Chapter 36: Another Wonderling?

12 years had passed and William was now 17 and the rumours of her death had only increased in the lost cites. Everybody thought that she was somehow dead even though she was alive just in the Forbidden Cites. Phoenix was now 6,8ft and hadn't gown for a while.

Phoenix's POV
William and her were sitting on the couch chatting when Will asked a rather strange question.
"Mum you remember when I was little and I saw you click your fingers and the papers you were holding disappeared and you said that you would tell me when I was older"
"I do remember, well you know that really old book series called Keeper of the Lost Cites"
"Yeah I've read it a million times, what about it"
"Well what if I told you the ending, what if I told you Sophie and Fitz had a kid with brown hair, brown eyes and traits of Fitz. What if I told you I'm their daughter and the Lost Cites is real. I can show you if you want with a spy ball"

"What, so you're saying that like 100 year old series is real and you're literally the main characters kid?"
"Yeah I guess you could put it like that, oh I also have every 22 ability's and am a creation of the Black Swan" William raised an eyebrow at her with a questionable expression.
"So how old are you?"
"43 years old" correct me if I did the wrong math. He nodded
"So do you want to see the lost cites"
"Yes please". She clicked her fingers making her tampered spy ball appear in her hands she set it down on the coffee table.
"Show me the council"

It showed the council sitting at a table talking to one another along with her parents, Alden, Della, her former bodyguards, Tiergan, Forklnater, Lexi, the rest of the collective and surprisingly Elwin. They all looked very somber except for Zarnia and Emery. She switched the audio on.

"Your been absurd Emery she can't be dead, we all know she likes to play dead" Alden said
"Yes well we have proof this time that she isn't playing around, no one can reach Phoenix"
"Well you shouldn't jump to conclusions"
"Might I say something" Liora
"What do you want Liora" Emery asked rather agitated
"I wanted to say that I've been regularly writing to Phoenix and conjuring them to her apartment in Sydney and I haven't been able to conjure them back each time, so therefor I don't think she's dead. Because who else would conjure them somewhere else"
"There are other conjures then just her, I could list 100"
"Well I don't think it would be Oralie, Edaline or anyone else that we know well that would know the information about her apartment"
Emery grumbled something like 'show off.'
"She's right no one else would know anything about it unless Force 3 had found about the place still been in her possession" Forklnater said.
"Yes, but we still don't have any evidence of her survival. We are going to have to plant a wanderling" Zarnia said when Emery wasn't able to speak.
"She's telling the truth" Oralie said holding Zarnia's wrist with a rather tight grip 'Empaths' Emery grumbled
"I have an idea what if we quickly write a note saying something simple and we conjure it there and if we can't conjure back with in the next 5 minutes, we shall have an answer. If it's still there she's dead and we can see if she send a note back seeming I'm sure Sophie can see if it's her hand writing" Clarette said
"I guess we can give that a shot". Oralie snapped her fingers making a piece of parchment appear next to her she grabbed a pen and scribbled something down and conjured it away. Phoenix conjured it to herself and read it.

Phoenix please be alive everyone's faith lies in this letter just send it back to us or something please or write a letter back. Please I know you're alive.
-Oralie

She held the letter in between her fingers as she watched the spy ball. 5 minutes later Oralie tried conjuring it back, but she obviously failed. Oralie stared at the wall as a tear leaked down her rosey cheeks.
"There we have it she's dead, Noland can you go write the letter to send to the rest of the lost cites" Emery said as Noland rose from his seat.

"Wait what they're just going to let me be dead" she said getting up out of her seat. She quickly made a holagram looking thing infront of the table. She stood there folding her arms.
"So you think it's fine to assume I'm dead is it" she waved every letter she had received from Liora in the years since she almost killed Emery including the letter that she had only just received from Oralie.
"And you think it's funny to be acting as if you are actually Phoenix" Emery said
"That is her, it's her signature illusion" Kenric, Bronte and Oralie said at the same time
"Well I don't believe that would actually be Phoenix, acting so pathetic. Of you go Noland"
She stopped the holagram and turned to William.
"Why do they think your dead"
"Wait how did you know what they were saying"
"Because you were always talking in that language when I was little so I learnt it"
"Strange but ok, I've got bigger matters than that talk later you can watch me through the spy ball. I'll allow I so only you can command it to show me" he nodded.
