•Serus' P.O.V.•

I finally broke out from the dome of illusions.

"Are you ready, Phoenix?" I asked the Phoenix within me.

"Whenever you are, Serus." it answered.

"Let's end this." the Phoenix and I flew with fiery wings to the battlefield as fast as we can.

"Help us!" I heard a scream from a city under the skies. A voice of a little girl. I descended and gave some time to help the girl.

"Is everything alright?" I asked the girl.

"My mother.....needs help in there....." she said as she points to the collapsed building.

"Stay here. I'll be right back." I swiftly propelled inside the building while the girl waits outside.

"Is anybody here?" I yelled.

"Help....me." I heard in the near distance.

I looked at the ceiling, and there the woman was tied tightly.

"I'll get you out of here." I sliced the cords that tied the woman.

"Who tied you up there?" I helped her get down and asked.

"A....monster." she fainted.

"I can't sense any monster now though. Maybe it already went away, but why would it leave its victim tied, if it can eat it already? Well, I'm glad it didn't eat the woman." I thought to myself.

I went outside with the girl's mother.

"Mother!" the girl approached us with tears falling from her eyes.

"She had a lot of injuries. What happened?"

"It was all because of me." the girl cried.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm the monster that almost killed my mother. I can't help it, there are too many soldiers trying to abduct the people, and I had no other choice but to release it."

"The girl isn't lying, Serus. There is indeed something within her. A creature from the dark depths of her being. I can sense its aura." the Phoenix told me.

"Don't cry anymore. You're safe now, and your mother too. I'm sure your mother will understand your being someday, but for now, you should go home and rest. You're not a monster. You're human with extraordinary abilities, so instead of calling yourself a monster, control yourself." I told the girl, while wiping her tears.

"You think so, mister?" the girl asked.

"Oh, I know so. You have a great gift and you are a great person. Wanting to save people isn't a normal desire for anybody. Well, before I leave, I think you never introduced yourself yet." I said.

"I am Faun." she replied with a smile.

"It's good to meet you, Faun. Now, before you go home, I want to give you a gift." I handed her the gift.

"What's this red feather?" she asked.

"Let's just say that it can help your mother heal faster."

"Thank you mister.....what's your name?"

"Just call me Serus."

"Thank you mister Serus! We'll go home now." she said, walking away from the city.

"Well, it's time to go too. Let's go." I flew away with my wings again, and headed to the sound of war.

I traveled from a long distance, and what I see now is the Fatum family's incoming demise. Nothing can be greater than my rage right now.
