Prolouge:
Mira dipped her head, trying to avoid the phantom king's large beady eye. "I can't run away with you..." She murmured softly. "I have a land to take care of... Now that Zios is gone..." She felt the phantom king stiffen. She noticed, as she met his gaze once again, it flickered back in memory.
It didn't take long for mira to conclude on what was bothering the phantom king. She gasped, horrified. "You killed Zios..." The phantom's mouth gaped, but he had nothing to say. Mira slowly understood.
She had loved Zios, and when he died, the phantom king had come in, taking her love for himself. It made her angrier as she thought about it.
"Because you have done this... You are banned from jamaa."
The king's eye darkened into a furious red, lighting sparking from his many legs.
"You may have banned me now, but i will be back. We will grow stronger and more powerful, more powerful then you could imagine." He began to ease away, but then turned, striking mira directly in the heart. Then left, leaving mira ice cold against the rocky ground. The other alphas soon found out, and built a statue in her memory, right in the spot she was struck.
Mira's spirit still watches over jamaa today, and sometimes, a lucky jammer can catch a glimpse of her beautiful blue spirit hidden in jamaa.
