The Phoenix Rises

Chapter 3 The Quest begins

Part 3
The Quest begins

As we enter the drive way my questions begin to boil over me."Meet me in your room okay."she replied.I nod.My room was covered in paintings that I designed but one on the wall,I have never seen before.It's was a Phoenix like the one at school.I closed my eyes and walked toward it.My hand,after a few steps touched it and a strong feeling came through my body like a lightning strike to a body.All these memories rush through my brain,similar,like fast forwarding through a movie and when it ended a bright light appeared and the memories ended.
When mom walked in she held a shoe box and set it on to my bed and asked me to sit.When she opened it.There where little items from my childhood like my first bracelet and other things.She dug to the bottom and a scroll appeared into her palm.The condition of it reminded me of the Declaration of Independence.She gently placed it into my hands.
As I on roll it writing similar to the writing on the prophecy on my paper appeared as I read it I recognize right away what it is."The prophecy,you knew about this,how could you have possibly"........She raised her hand."It's a story not really understandable but it could be to you."She acts like a fortune teller or someone who has seen things beyond life science.I shake my head.Not understanding any thing she Is saying.

"Phoenix you aren't like any other girl here on earth you have a power within you.Let me tell you a story of how you came to be." she asks.I nod.

"Well,long ago before the realms and worlds there was two opposing powers.One the shadows,and the other healing flame.One day the healing flame gave birth to a son.The Cloud Spirit.An the Shadow gave birth to a son as well.Years passed and the two rulers had children of their own.The shadow Phoenix had a son who was only months old when his parents where destroyed by the uncle of the child.For transforming there daughter to a shadow serpent as a guardian of their newborn son.The parents took the child as there own and their daughter was gone forever.Years passed and they had another beautiful daughter,with raven black hair,red eyes and pale skin.
She was given gifts for her birthing ceremony.Her father gave her the gift a spirit of a hero,her mother gave her the gift of the true power of the Phoenix.An the brother who found out of his parents death gave her the gift of darken light.The parents where speechless and shadow creatures made from the sons own flesh piled in,and the kingdom collapsed into chaos.The father and his daughter were the only survivors and he created a portal to earth and the father took his daughter in to the portal.An they where never seen again."she said finishing the story.My mind rushed through all the things she told me."You go ahead and get some rest we have a busy day tomorrow and I want you to be ready and full of energy."mom stated.
As soon as mom left the room my mind seemed thoughtless and my heart didn't seem to beat.The cool,frigid sheets gave me goose bumps.My eyes felt so heavy I could be the reason gravity even exists.So I laid my head and rested.
When I wake up I was in a dream and it was the memories of the end of the story.

"Phoenix," A voice said.

When I look around I see a bright figure that was walking towards me."Who are you,and what do you want."I ask."Phoenix its me the cloud spirit."he said."Look at you,you look amazing and beautiful just like your mother." he stated with sadness.I stare at him with a questionable look."Your mother is the Queen of your realm,but in you case you are her."he said.My eyes got misty I thought I would never find my real family."Daughter."I said finishing his sentence.He gave me a hug of loving care and I felt it and he knew to."I have something for you."he said.He handed me a sword full of positive energy and he gave me a case for the sword."That's your key to bringing down the threat.he stated thought a look of aggression."So I have to destroy my brother and save you,and our realm."I ask.He gives a slight nod."Phoenix,Phoenix come on time to wake up."My moms whisper appears in the vacuum like space."See you in the future."dads voice stated as it echoed in the vacuum.
"Morning mom."I yawned."Come on time for your fitting."she said.After she woke me up I rushed into her sewing room,an I stood on her stool and she starts the clothing.The thought of seeing my dad in the near future, was a bit far fetched,and confusing,mom said that The Cloud Spirit had taken his daughter to earth and that he was never seen again.I thought about it again.Mom was struggling with the fabric.
"Ow!"I stated while mom pricked me with a sewing needle."Sorry,hun."she stated.My body was stiff from standing in one position.Mom worked for hours on it and she was finally getting to the final stitch on the skirt."Done."she stated.I walk to the mirror on the wall and look at my self.My uniform was all orange with a one strap half shirt and a mid thigh skirt,my hair was still very long and it kind of gave it something to clash against so with my hair tie I put my hair in a pony tail and it flowed to my hip,and I realized I missed a strand of hair when I touch the top of the strands and the magic flows like a river changing the black hair to orange,I was amazed."Mom it's beautiful and it's perfect."I tell her giving her a hug.She looked in my eyes."It's not finished yet."she said.she takes out orange silk strings and wraps my arms and wrists like a plaid shirt for gloves that give it a flare.She then gives me orange ankle high heals."What are these for?"I ask her.
