It had been a few days since we bid farewell to the cozy warmth of the tavern and ventured into the vast unknown. The map had guided us to a magnificent forest that stretched out as far as the eye could see, with majestic mountains looming in the distance and crystal-clear rivers meandering through the landscape. The air was crisp and the ground blanketed in a fresh layer of snow, creating a serene and otherworldly beauty that took my breath away.

We have been traveling long distances by day, and resting by night, gathering firewood along the way during the hours of daylight.

By my side, Creeta carried herself with a quiet grace, her every move exuding an air of wisdom and elegance. Her eyes held a depth of knowledge and experience, and her presence was as strong and unwavering as the ancient oak trees that surrounded us. She shared with me tales of old, weaving together stories of heroes and legends with a voice that held a weight of centuries.

Creeta had trained at the prestigious Full Moon Academy to become a royal guardian, honing her skills in combat and strategy to protect the Kingdom from any threat. Despite her formidable abilities, she had chosen to accompany me on this journey in a different guise. She would transform herself into a magnificent phoenix cardinal, from time to time and fly ahead; her fiery feathers shimmering in the sunlight as she soared above me, a silent guardian watching over me from the skies.
She explained how she would have to stay in this form while I am a student at the academy, for my protection. I felt a sense of gratitude for Creeta's companionship and a new found appreciation for the beauty of the world around me. With her by my side, I knew that whatever challenges lay ahead we would face them together, united in purpose and bound by a bond that transcended mere words.
