The night was still. The sky was dusted with stars.

From the West came a burning light, it was burning bird that descended on the ground.

"Your Highness."

Rahel bowed before the huge burning bird which transfigured into a young man.

"Rise old friend." Rowan said.

Rahel did as the Highness commanded.

"Where is Helios?" Rowan said in a soft and calm way.

"Prince Helios is resting."

"Does he remember his essence?"

"Not yet your Highness."

Rahel sounded worried. Rowan sensed that something was troubling Rahel.

"What's wrong? Speak."

"Prince Helios' human form Ajax is dying. Unless, we awaken his essence, the prince will die."

Rowan clenched his fist and tried not to show his emotions.

"What should we do?"

"We must find the key of his essence. He reached his maturation age of twenty-one earth years. And, without unlocking his true essence, his human form will not be able to contain the enormous power that he has. The explosion that happened three days ago is just the beginning."

"Summon, the twin knights!"

"Yes, your Highness."

As Rahel prepared the portal for the twin knights, Rowan entered the tree house. He, then, entered the room where Ajax was resting. He sat on the bed beside Ajax.

"My poor brother."

Rowan said as he touched Ajax's hair that turned gold. The situation was dire. The human body of Ajax could no longer suppress the power of Helios and it would burn its human flesh if the key was not found soon.

Tears fell from his eyes and flowed down from cheeks, then, into mid-air as it turned into droplets of citrines, and when it touched the fabric of Rowen's clothes, it turned to ashes.

Usually, a Phoenix's tear drop should be citrine which was as bright as energy and would materialized into a droplet size yellow stone that brought positivity happiness. It was said if the Phoenix's tear turned into ashes, it reflected anger, pain and sorrow.

"I swear by the power of the Phoenix, I will obliterate L'Nykt, North and all who plotted your abduction and destruction."
