MLP(My Little Phoenix)

Part 5

Max's POV

After meeting with my granddaughter the king sent for me. I was confused. He never sent for me. The only time he did was when something important was happening. I was worried. When i walked in the great room two figures were standing with their backs to me. The King saw me and stood. "Maxwell! Thank you for joining us," The King greeted like I was th best of pals to him. Now I was confused.

"Sir, you called for me. What's going on?" I asked as formally as possible.

"This is Marcella and Mike Varulv. Marcella will be accompanying Mulan with her duties,"

"May I ask why sir?" I was confused I had already told him she was in my addvanced class and that she was stronger han normal.

"She is the one gifted with life and her mate has death, but only recently when her powers divided amongst their souls," I nodded understanding now.

"Shall I go retreive my grandduaghter?" I asked as I bowed.

"Yes," I then left as he sat back down.

I found Mulan practicing in her bird form. She will need to in this form until we get to the great room to show how great she is. I was proud."Mulan! The King requests your presence," I yelled across the room from her. She stopped and flew over to me knowing to stay in bird form. she perched on a balance beam. "someone important is here to meet you," I informed her. She pryed into my ind to find out who. I let her because she needed to know before she met Marcella. I nodded my head t'wards the door to let her know we need to be going. She took flight and followed me.

We arrived in the great room and Mulan perched on another balance beam set up for the guards. The King stood and walked over to her.

"Mulan will you shift for us?" She flew down to the ground and shifted as she did so. Show off. I rolled my eyes at her and she just laughed.

"So you are Mulan,"  Marcella said in more of a statement than a question. Mulan nodded.

"And you are the sun and he the moon," I was proud of Mulan. She was showing guard quality every day. Marcella nodded impressed.

"Yes, but the King hasn't told me much only that you are the best fighter in the castle,"

"Of my gandfather's men, yes. But you are a shadow horse shifter and you are wondering about my past. You can't anything from me," Mulan spoke with certanty. Marcella only nodded.

"You have no idea what I can hide," She winked at Mulan. But mulan only smirked.

"Try me," Marcella nodded and sat on the floor crossing her legs.

"I hope you know what you are up against," Mike warned unaware of Mulan's abbilities. Mulan shifted and perched beside Marcella. After a few minutes she shifted back still in concentration and spoke.

"You come from too many shifter and super natural families to count. When you moved in with your lat family they and you thought you were human. You knew about them because of your previous families and you could take down an alpha. The first time you met Mike was at your old school and you found him kissing anothr female. You were hurt so you vanished. Your brother found out and told your real parents. He made it up to you. You later got married but your pack and family were threatened by a guy named Jarome and he thought you were human but at the time you were both sun and moo. you didn't kill him but promised you would is he ever came near your family you would. And you left for Brazil and met two girls Mia and Anet who followed you back here and helped you get ready for the ball and the day after you left and came here. There is other stuff but I'm relaying that," Mulan finally finished and Marcella looked amazed.

"How? I had my block up the entire time,"

"I am gifted from the Earth Goddess herself. My mother was an eagle shifter my father a hawk shifter, but I am a full phoenix," Mulan said with great pride.

"Well now that you know an extint to Mulan's powers let's go meet the Princess shall we?" I enterveigned. They both nodded. Mulan shifted and flew ahead of us to the Princess's room.

"She is very big," Mike comented on.

"The biggest we've seen for a very long time," I told them.

"But if Marissa is her mother than how is it that bother her parent's died. And Marissa is your daughter?"

"Mulan was adopted by my daughter when her best friend was killed by her own brother. It was hard but lucky for her Mulan was 17 and very mature when she went to live with Marissa,"

"Oh. So how come she can read my mind but if I try hers even through my full power I can't read hers?" Marcella asked confused. She was day but even she isn't powerful enough to read Mulan's thoughts when she wants. Only when she wants her to. I smiled.

"Like she said she was gifted by a goddess. She has more powers than you, stronger ones as well," They both nodded and continued to walk in silence. We came to the Princess's room and found the princess stroking Mulan's feathers.

"How is she doing that? Phoenix are a fire bird," Marcella asked.

"She has lowered her bird's temperature to a level of warmpth not burning,"

"Max, I presume this is Marcella?"

"Yes Princess, but how did you know?" I asked giving Mulan a knowing look.

"Mulan let me inside her thoughts," She answered me with the answer I already knew. Marcella was astonished. "You are nervous. And you believe that Mulan does not like you, or trust you. But you, Mike, you are calm. Too calm, you are very nervous on the inside. You think Mulan will attack Marcella," I was amused that today not only has Marcella been introduced to one but two poeple's powers along with Mike.

"You are right,"

"Mulan shift," I comanded and she gave me a look that tells me she did not like the tone I just used. I knew I would pay for I would pay for it later. But she did as told.

"I wouldn't start to hate someone until they gae me a reason and you can't kill a shadow Mike. You should know that. Plus I'm a royal guard I am above that course of action unless you threaten a royal's life. Princess I will leave you to get to know Marcella. I will be in the gym, contact me if you need me," With that coment she shifted and looked at me and Mike. I understood what she ment and motioned for Mike to follow. He complied.

When we got to the gym Mulan was sitiing in human form looking frighteningly calm. I was scared because I have seen her like this and it's scary. One minute you are fine, the next she has you pinned and saying anything until you have told her everything. Mike noticed my mood and readyness. "Thank you both for coming," This was not Mulan talking.

"Calm down Celia," Celai is the Earth Goddess and right now she has surfaced from Mulan as a form of comunication.

"Who?" Mike whispered.

"The Earth Goddess. She uses Mulan as comunication between realms," Mike stiffened. He knew what this meant.

"What does she want?" Mike asked me. I didn't know. It's never happened before. I shook my head and he got the message. We were in trouble. She has only ever showed herself when someone is in trouble or needs warning.
