WishcIouds
Legend tells of six friends: a cat, an otter, a bird, a fox, and two phoenixes. The friends found a beautiful land. Everyone but the two phoenixes found a section of the land that they loved most. To thank nature for sharing its wonders, they created Gems to protect the sections.
The phoenixes oversaw the creation of the Gems, therefore, they did not make one. Flying up, the phoenixes discovered an island, floating in the sky.
Now, these phoenixes were as different as night and day. The day phoenix asked if she could have the island, and the night phoenix agreed. The night phoenix spread their wings once more, and eventually they found their own realm. It wasn't as good as the others', but they appreciated it the way it was.
Years passed. The night phoenix got ignored, and they turned bitter, raising disasters like earthquakes and tornadoes against the realms. The realms fought back, and eventually the conflict was settled.
The legend is told over and over again to animals in the realms. They wish for peace, but is that too much to hope for?
