01: The glow of the connect.
Echo
I get ready behind the starting line with the others, our wings spread, our feathered tails cought in the wind. Our coach blows her whistle 3 times and we all take off after the 3ed blow.
This is about our 5th race this week of who can make it back to the finish line in case of another attack. My wings flap fastly as i pass everyone up and grab my flag and made it back.
I gave coach my flag and looked at her to get my time, “4 minutes and 36 seconds.” She said, thats my quickest one yet!! “I must say, ive never seen a Phoenix with such speed as you Echo Miller.” She told me.
I bowed ny head in a thank you. “You can go to the locker room and change if youd like.” She told me. Of corse i was going to change into my regular clothes.
I walk in and go to my locker and change for my practice uniform to my regular clothes. I grab my backpack and come back out, seeing all the others out if breathe just barely gettibg back.
My friend, Eowyn, had a pant in her breathe, “how the hell…do you have that speed? No phoenix has that speed but the princess and queen.” She tells me, shes right…
“I honestly dont know, ive had this speed for as long as i can remember. Ive always been able to fly an run fast.” I say, no one else has the same same speed as me…
She giggled and walked i to thr locker room and stepped on my tail, i screached ar her, my feathers stuck up, but something unexpected happened to me…
My eyes glew the fiery orange oh ny tail, wings, and tips of my hair. Everyone gasped, i tucked my wings and the glowing in my eyes went away.
My friend looked at me…scared…?
“What was that about coach?!” Someone yelled out, coach just stared at me, whats going on…?
Raven
Im walking home, my wings are to tired from training today. Not a moment did we stop to take a breather. I alwsy wondered, what made the Demons hate the Phoenix’s so much?
My honest opinion, i don’t find a problem with them from what ive seen on there side of the sky. I remember an old friend if mine when we where little we both wanted to be Demons.
When any mythical creature is born, they get taken away from there parents if they didnt look like ether one if them. Then they get there magic and abilities when there older, like me.
If one of the parents looks like the child, they child will stay with that parent. If both parents are not the same species, the child gets take away, like me!!
My mom was a fairy and my dad was a griffin. So they took me away and put me here. All I remember from that girl is her sweet little smile, and the day they separated us, we cried and screamed for each other till we could lnt hear no more.
Worse of all…she a Phoenix. So I’ll probably never see her again. She was a good friend to me, alway so sweet ans caring. I stop in my tracks when i feel a sharp pain in my chest.
I grab it and fall to the ground, my tail and horns hurt, my wings spread. A lady runs over to me, “Ma’am! Are you ok?!” She asked me. And i smacked her.
I growled at her, and my eyes were…glowing white…? She looked at me horrified, whats going on…?
