"By the way, why are you here, Kye?" Ras asked once they went to his quarter. They were in his private place, so they could talk more at ease. Kye settled into a comfortable seat, still feeling a mix of wonder and relief at their reunion. He looked at Ras, his expression thoughtful. "To be honest," Kye began, "The academy I was at got attacked by the monsters. And while I was fighting, I lost all of my friends..." Ras' eyes widened after hearing Kye. "Wait, did they die? No, what type of monsters…-

The days passed and changed into weeks, and Kye immersed himself in the intricate art of weaving fire. Under the patient guidance of the young Phoenixes, he delved deeper into the secrets of this ancient technique. It was a practice that required not only precision but also a profound connection to the element of fire itself. Needless to say, it was really hard. After all, Kye only unlocked his powers a few days ago. Moreover, he was still at the beginning of Ras' friend seal. Meaning that he still…

Kye deeply appreciated the young Phoenixes' willingness to help him learn the ways of fire. As they gathered in a circle, Kye expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you all. I'm truly grateful for your assistance. Though, I don't just want to control fire; I want to understand its essence and use it responsibly." The young Phoenixes nodded in agreement, understanding the importance of Kye's words. The girl with vibrant red feathers, who seemed to be the most knowledgeable among them, stepped forward…

A lot of voices started to echo through the place while Kye continued looking in awe. And suddenly, 6 rather small Phoenixes in terms of size launched at him. However, there wasn't any ill intention in their moves, so Kye let them be while he was still observing the surroundings. "Thank you, sir. We would have died without you." "I'm forever grateful, sir!" "*Cries*" "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" "How can I repay you, sir?" "*Cries*" Kye was taken aback by the sudden transformation of the…

After another day of traveling, Kye and Rae finally arrived at their destination. It was a giant volcano, stretching for kilometers and kilometers. However, instead of being a black mountain, it was fiery red as if the ground was made of flames. The volcano's peak, shrouded in a perpetual cloud of smoke and ash, reached up toward the sky like an enormous, smoldering tower. "Welcome to our sanctuary," Rae said, her voice tinged with a mixture of pride and nostalgia. "This is where my kin have lived…

The days passed by, and Kye continued his journey with the Phoenix, whose name was Rae. Together, they navigated the uncharted territories of Nebula, facing various challenges along the way. It became evident to Kye that Rae was not only a formidable warrior but also a wise and knowledgeable guide. Well, maybe it was because it was her home, but still, it was amazing. As they approached the sanctuary of the Phoenixes, hidden amidst Nebula's breathtaking natural wonders, Kye couldn't help but reflect…

Although Kye had agreed to travel with the Pheonix, it was easier said than done. Indeed from what she told him, the place where she and he kin stayed was far away from any human settlement in Nebula. It was almost a non-explored zone. "How did they capture the Phoenixes, then?" Kye asked. "I mean surely they would have had a hard time if they were to attack you guys in your home, right?" "Yes, that is true," She nodded while the both of them were flying in the sky to go faster. While they were…

Lightbringer's tone softened, and there was a hint of understanding in its response. "I know, Kye. I just wish you would confide in me more, so we can face these challenges together." Kye nodded, realizing that Lightbringer was right. He had a tendency to shoulder his burdens alone, and it wasn't always for the best. But well, what could he do? He didn't like to burden people with his worries, and Lightbringer wasn't an exception. "I promise, Lightbringer, I'll try to be more open with you," he…

The dark-winged Kye met his counterpart's newfound determination with a slow, unsettling smile. His eyes bore into Kye's with an intensity that seemed to pierce through the very fabric of his being. "Very well," he said, his voice still echoing with an eerie familiarity. "I am the part of you that you deny, that you fear. I am your doubts, your insecurities, your darkness." Kye's brows furrowed as he listened to the enigmatic words. The dark-winged version of himself seemed to be speaking in…

Kye's senses were overwhelmed as he slowly came to consciousness in this blindingly bright and unfamiliar realm. His first instinct was to shield his eyes, but even with his eyelids tightly shut, the relentless radiance seeped through, causing his head to throb with pain. He tried to move, but his limbs felt heavy as if they were submerged in water. Panic began to claw at the edges of his mind as he struggled to make sense of this disorienting situation. Where was he? How had he ended up here? With…
