"GO NOW OR THAT BLADE IS GOING TO SLASH THROUGH YOUR SISTER'S THROAT! "
Kohaku jumps onto Hoshi and pilots away, leaving the place without a trace, scared that the mysterious man is going to harm his beloved sister.
Shouting back, the stalker says:" Give it all to dear old Phoenix once you are done."
He gets off Hoshi in mid-air and shapeshifts into a dragon. He felt dismay as he thought in his mind " Maybe he was just tricking me to get out so I could not defend my sister?" " Maybe Hanabi is already dead now?" He held back tears as he felt extremely bitter. Hoshi looks at him as the peryton says: "Don't cry, I know that Hanabi is still alive. We just have to complete these tasks and were homeward-bound."(in peryton)
Kohaku nods as they continue to fly to The City Of Starlight.
TIME SKIP (One hour later).Haku and Hoshi reach the deserted island.
"Halt. Tell me your name. You do not qualify to enter the City Of Starlight unless you determine you are a wizard or witch." a guard questioned.
Haku remained calm as he spoke:" I can shapeshift." He turns into a golden-ginger mouse to an astounding amber-colored bull to prove." I can also summon rainclouds and I can make plants grow". He took a dried seed on the ground. As soon as he touched it, it instantly rejuvenated its form. He used magic to plant it and summoned a raincloud to water it.
The guard let him through as he inspected the tiny seedling.
The place was brightened by neon-colored lights and beautiful spirit creatures. The place burst with colors as monthly fireworks lit up the sky. Pegasus flew from house to house as other perytons cantered along. Witch and witches cast unique spells as some struggled to understand the enchantment.
Kohaku understand some spells like healing enchantments, and he helped someone to figure it out too.
So it goes like this:
.•*~All your grief and scars are healed,
Of this little spell I wield.~*•."Thanks! You really helped me."
"No problem."
Kohaku goes to a hotel." May I stay here?" 'Sure. That is one fine peryton there. It would do a good peryton to ride on, looks very steady and has high stamina.' the wizard attendant says.
"Thanks, Hoshi really is what you described. "
They went to the room as the moon sang a lullaby. They were fast asleep on the bed in no time.
Sunlight glimmered on the snowfall. It was a cold and frosty morning. Kohaku summoned an enchantment to keep himself and Hoshi heated.
.*~ In any cold or any storm, please just keep us very warm.~*.
He felt a surge of warm air circling his body as he felt comfortable in the winter air. Hoshi squealed in surprise as he also felt strengthened in the cold and bitter air too.
Kohaku shapeshifts into a golden peregrine falcon as he swoops to find the first thing on the list, a cursed Emerald Green Fairy Jewel. As far as he could know, the jewel was a precious artifact from 2000 years ago and protected by 10 man-eating Stymphalian Birds. Ash Whitewings, Dewdrop Driftsage and Magnolia Lightsong may sound like cute names, but they are spirits of kids that were caught stealing the Jewel and were punished to guard it forever.
Kohaku looked at the green shiny thing in disbelief." I don't think I am ever going to get it without being a spirit there forever with thirteen creatures roaming around."
He flew back to the hotel and started to lose hope. Maybe these quests are really impossible...
Maybe I am hopeless...
