Flying over the Sky Peaks of the Main Griffin Kingdom, we see the five young Griffin Prince's. Adam, Seth, Terrence, Gene,  and Ruth Williams. What they are about to do will be forever remembered by the Dragon Kingdom.

"Can't we just kill her? Who cares about that stupid prophecy. " Adam looked over at Seth with pure disgust shining in his Ruby eyes.  "If you want to wait another 5,000 years, then go ahead and kill her, but I'm getting that crown, with or without you. " He growled.

Seth looked over at his younger brother Terrence and met his emerald eyes. “What do you think Terrence, should we just kill her and take the crown, or should we just kidnap her and ask her nicely for her mother’s crown?” He said with extreme distain. Terrence looked over at Gene and Ruth flying on the other side of Adam. After a while of flying Terrence said that it’s not up to him, that it was up to Adam, since he was the oldest of the bunch. When Terrence looked back at Seth, he could see that his brother was shocked but mostly angry with his decision.

“Here we are.” Adam said. They all looked around at the burnt ground and forestry, each one looking a little more confused than the last. “Where are we Adam?” Ruth said. But before he could answer, some of the trees that were not burnt shook. The sound kept getting closer and closer until, it went silent. Then to the right of the boys, out of nowhere a ball of flames came rolling past them. They dropped to the ground fast, Seth hitting the ground harder than the rest of them.

“What was that?” Gene said disturbed. But before any of them could blink, another flaming ball came hurtling towards them. Adam stretched out his wings in front of his brothers, so he could shield them from the fiery flames. The ball hit Adam right between his wings and left a scorch mark on him. After a few minutes of waiting around for another flame ball to appear, Adam slowly and carefully lowered his wings to his sides.

“Are you ok Adam?” Ruth asked. “Yeah, I’m fine. Are all of you ok?” “We’re fine brother, we’re just a little shocked that you brought us into HIGHFIRE AND HELLFIRE PHEONIX TERRITORY, yeah like that was such a good idea.” Seth said with extreme indignation in his voice.

While they were complaining to one another, someone came out of the scorched forest behind Adam. None of the boys seemed to notice the stranger coming out of the forest. The stranger coughed to get the boys attentions from their conversation. They all turned around just as he started walking closer to them. Adam told his brothers to stay behind him, and as he did that he tried to unfold his wings again to block them from the stranger's view... but it didn’t work. His wings felt like they had been glued together, so he couldn’t unfold them. He looked at the stranger, then at his brothers, and then back again.

“Umm....what are you doing in OUR forest?” the stranger asked them. After a moment of silence. “We are looking for the Hellfire Pheonix named Keith. Do you know where we can find him?” Adam asked with a look of anticipation on his face. “So, you’re looking for Keith, right? And what do you need from a Hellfire Pheonix?” he asked them. “We need him to help us get a crown from some dragons, to complete the prophecy.” Adam said. “So, let me get this straight, you are looking for the deadliest phoenix in all Serria, to help you compete for the prophecy's rewards. Am I correct?” he asked slowly. “Yes” Adam said. “Well alright then, let me just go get him to help you five compete for some made up prophecy reward. What exactly is in it for me if I do decide to help you with what you are asking me?” Adam looked at the stranger confused. “So, you’re Keith?” Adam asked. The stranger looked at Adam as if he had just spoken in the Zyforien language. Before the stranger could say another word, Adam told him that if he joined them with a few of the Highfire Phoenix's that they would help them get their revenge on the Pheonix Kingdoms that kicked them out of their homes.

There was silence as Keith thought about their offer. “If we help you compete in this prophecy, then you will help us get back at the kingdoms that threw us out.” Seth looked at Adam and shook his head no, but Adam told Keith that no matter what happened with the prophecy, they would help them get their homes back and get some sweet, sweet revenge in the process. Keith walked up to Adam and said that if any of them go back on Adam’s word, he would personally see it that they would die slowly and very painfully. Adam shook Keith’s hand and made the pact final.
