Section 1
Chapter 1: The Begginings
It was beautiful morning with a gorgeous red sky, and the Phoenix Birds chirping in the Fire Tree right outside her window. Aurora was still in bed on this fine Saturday morning. She could hear her family bustling about and sleepily looked at the clock. 6:00!!! She thought. Aurora closed her eyes and was about to be genuinely sleeping when her little brother walked in and slammed the door.
“SIS!! Sis wake up, or you’ll be late!” He said.
“Late for what Jordan??” She asked
“Don’t you know what day it is??”
“It’s Saturday, It’s 6:00 in the morning and I am tired. Good night“, Aurora said as she promptly closed her eyes and lay back down.
Jordan looked at his sister contemplatively.
“You really forgot didn’t you??” ,he asked incredulously.
Aurora sighed and sat up, “I didn’t forget anything. I just told you it’s Saturday and I want to sleep in”
“But today is your Adulthood ceremony!!!”
Aurora was wide awake now.
“Ooooh noooo, not today already!!” ,She moaned
“Yes! And mom says ‘if you don’t get up and get ready you’ll be late‘” ,Jordan said and walked out.
Aurora yawned, rubbed her eyes and started getting dressed. Oh yes, The Adulthood Ceremony… She thought. Her brain kicked on and she remembered. Every Fire Fairy had to go through this when they got to be 18. This made them official citizens of the Order of the Keepers of the Sacred Flame. They had to recite all the important things there parents had taught them. It was a reflection on their parents. If they made even one mistake it could mean disgrace or punishment for their parents. When they were done they were all handed a torch which represented the Sacred Flame. They used to be handed the Sacred Flame itself…But the water nymph Leichi had stolen it, and so her people were dying. They knew it, but life must go on…She thought. She hated to think about it. She finished doing her hair and grabbed her things. It was even worse because she was one of the remaining few who still had the power of Fire, and all who had that power were eventually sent off to try and find The Crystal Cave and rescue the Sacred Flame. About 30 had been sent and none had returned. Aurora ate breakfast depressed and flew to the palace. When she got there she lined up with 4 other Fairies she had never seen before and waited for Her Majesty Queen Lauren to arrive. Aurora wondered if the others had any Fire power. The Guard announced Her Majesty, and the group was ushered into the Chamber Hall. Aurora looked at Queen Lauren. She was beautiful with loong, rich, red hair and sparkling green eyes. She was wearing a beautiful emerald gown with a gold crown decorated with emerald jewels. And Queen Lauren was graceful and kind.
Queen Lauren addressed the company, “Young ones, You are here to become members of the Order. May you fill your duty well”
Aurora heard the queen ask the questions to each student in turn. But she was so nervous that she did not register what they said. All she could hear was the droning of their voices.
Then the queen addressed her, ”Aurora name the 6 elements”
Aurora curtsied, “Fire, water, earth, air, light, and darkness your Majesty”
“How many quintessence stones are there??”
“4 for each element, and 24 in all My Queen”
“What gives life to our clan?”
Aurora frantically tried to remember, She had known this morning, ”Um…”
Queen Lauren raised an eyebrow, “yes??”
Aurora knew this was important, “The Sacred Flame?”
“Yes, young one”
And the questioning went on with Aurora rattling off the answers as fast as they were asked. Finally Queen Lauren rose to go.
Before she went she addressed Aurora,” You will leave tomorrow to search”
Aurora’s mind raced, TOMMORROW!!! NOO! I don’t want to go, I can’t…Its not fair >_< Why tomorrow, couldn’t you have waited a month??, was what she thought and what she wanted to say, But instead she simply said, “yes your Majesty” and sighed. Aurora flew home and walked inside. She set her things down and plopped into a chair. Her family was sitting around waiting for her to come back.
“Well??” asked her mom.
“’Well’ what?” retorted Aurora
“Well, How did it go?” asked her mom.
“You’d be proud mom, got ‘em all right”
“I am proud.”
“Were there any girls there??” Asked her big brother.
“Yes Mortimer, Me” ,Aurora smiled.
“no I meant-”
“I know what you meant” ,Aurora replied cutting him off, ”there was one and she was fat and ugly”, She teased. “Actually she was rather pretty, she had brown hair and eyes and had her hair done up in a bun with the most adorable little butterfly on the back.”

“Did you get her name??”
“No. Sorry, I was to busy being nervous”
“Did you see the queen?? ,asked Jordan
“Yes I did,” aurora smiled, ”and she was more wonderful than you’d imagined.”
“Really??”
“Really”
“Did you see Frank??” asked her father. Frank was one of the palace guards who her dad was friends with.
“Nope.”
Her mother asked the next question with dread, “when…are you going??”
Aurora replied softly, “tomorrow”
That got a general moan from her family, and they spent the rest of the day doing things together. The next morning she sighed and slowly got dressed, putting on the ancient warriors outfit worn by the Fire fairies in times of battle. The mom made one for every member of the family. It was a rich red with a blue belt and red shoes. Aurora sighed and put it on. She tossed everything she might need into the belt. She walked downstairs ,maybe I could get out without having to say good bye… She thought. But her family was already up.
“hey Hun” her mom said and hugged her. Her dad squeezed her hand, and her Mortimer hugged her. Jordan clung to Mom and sobbed. Aurora looked at her family, Her tall dad (well tall for fairies, 5 ft) with his wise blue eyes, and her Mom with her curling golden hair and gentle ways, and her big brother Mortimer with his happy and carefree attitude, and her baby brother Jordan with his wonderful innocence and sweetness, and she hated to go. She hugged them all one last time and walked outside...

Chapter 2: The Codex of Honor

Aurora looked at the red sky of Mt Dragon. She wondered how far it was till the top, and then till she got outside the volcano. No one had ever been outside except the warriors, and none of those had come back to tell. She was sure it was dangerous out there. Aurora checked for her sword. It was there. She turned around and waved one last time to her family who were quietly looking on, and then turned around, jumped up, and flew upward toward the red sky of her home. As she flew up she could see the entire layout of her world. The lava beaches and fire trees. The Phoenix birds flew at this level and she saw how magnificent they were. They were a rich red with orange tips on their feathers and golden markings. She flew higher and she could see the red houses and the golden palace. She looked up, and saw that she was getting close to the top now because she was starting to see the rim of the volcano. The temperature was cooling as she got closer to the top, and then she came out of Mt Dragon all together. It was cold compared to inside the volcano and Aurora already hated it. There was a vast forest to the east and Aurora flew down and landed outside of it. It looked dark in there. But she had to go, so she walked inside. It wasn’t too bad. She surveyed the landscape. There was a little muddy river to her left and it was a little dark, the trees were large and leafy and there were no flowers…but Aurora thought something was missing. She listened and looked. Sure enough, there were no birds. Aurora followed the stream. She could hear animals in the brush, because they were somewhat noisy. As she followed the stream Aurora became more and more sure that she was being followed. The footsteps were always nearby, and stopped when she stopped. She was unsure of what to do, so she kept her hand on her sword and did not stop walking. Aurora’s heart was in her throat as she kept walking, listening to those ever approaching footsteps. She entered a glade and gasped. There was a pedestal with a shining book on it, and on the front of the pedestal was this: [img=http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/1796/sigoftokol1id.png] . 6 silver cups hung around the edge.
“The Codex of Honor!” Aurora gasped. She approached the pedestal and saw an inscription on it. It read:

Whosoever honors the heart of the god shall be given honor like a king who is crowned by his subjects

Aurora marveled at the words. She wondered what they meant. In the meantime she surveyed the landscape. She was at the center of the forest. The river was running on the left of the pedestal and the trees were dark. A little light (not enough to make a big difference) was filtering through the leaves of the trees, A breeze was blowing and she could se the faint orange glow of Mt Dragon to the west. Aurora’s gaze returned to the magnificent Codex resting on the pedestal. Legend said that whoever was able to poses the Codex of Honor would succeed in restoring his people’s power. Aurora felt sure her people needed life and power if they were going to defeat Leichi. She would have to get the book. She read the words of the pedestal to herself again, and sat down to think. She got up and took the silver cups. They were tiny, only big enough to hold a little of whatever you put in it. She looked at the glade and jumped. She hastily drew he sword dropping the little cups , for she saw a person. Well he wasn’t much of a person now if he ever was one. He looked more like a lizard crossed with a fish and a snake, but he walked like an elf.
“I would be careful, how you do that Miss” ,said the thing looking Aurora over. From her long curling golden Hair to her red shoes.
“Who are you??” was all Aurora could manage. The thing took a step forward, and Aurora readied her sword.
“I am Makardi. I am…or rather…was a dwarf for the Emporer Stagis 10 years ago. I did blacksmithing. Legends told of the Lost Forest and I went out searching for it. I found it…and the codex. But I touched the codex without even reading the inscription…So here I am…” he said sadly.

Aurora put her sword back in its sheath, and picked up the tiny silver cups.

“I see…”,she said, ”maybe when I get the book we can read and see what it says about your curse.”
“Thank you. May…may I help??”
“well, if you happen to know what the inscription means…that would be nice”
“no…I’m afraid I don’t…”
Aurora sighed, “wait there then” She tried every fire technique known to the Fire Fairies on the pedestal, and sat down exhausted by her unfruitful efforts. She then tried putting fire in the little cups and placing them on the pedestal. One glowed but the others did nothing. She took back the ones that did nothing. Aurora studied the pedestal, wracking her brains, while Makardi watched from a distance. Aurora looked at the landscape, The answer had to be somewhere in this glade. She looked at the pedestal, and then at the landscape a few times. Finnally she smiled.
“THAT’S IT!!!” She shouted.
“wahts it?” Makardi asked.
Aurora did not answer but filled one little cup with muddy water from the stream and set it on the pedestal. It glowed, and Aurora filled another cup with dirt from the ground and set it on the pedestal to watch it glow with satisfaction. She placed another cup so that the shadows that fell across the pedestal hit the inside of the cup. It glowed. Aurora put the next cup onto the pedestal, empty to watch it glow. Now, what to do for light?? Aurora placed this one sideways to catch the glow of the cup next to it. The entire pedestal glowed a brilliant white light and then faded. The glade was beautiful now, sun flitering through the trees, the river was clean the birds were singing and Aurora looked at Makardi he was himself!! Aurora picked up the Codex and put the beautiful book in her belt. Makardi was happy and smiling, but suddenly his face grew serious.
“Hey, you never told me your name, or where your from, or anything…”
“Oh! I’m sorry. My name is Aurora Rose. I’m from Mt Dragon. I’m looking for a water nymph named Leichi. She stole our symbol and the life of my people. I seek this nymph to restore life to my people.”
“I see…well, May you have good fortune.”
“Thank you.” With that Aurora turned to go.
“Aurora, can I come with you?? The Empire of Stagis is in the same direction your heading.”
“Sure. “ Aurora smiled.

Chapter 3: Adventure Between 2 Cliffs

Aurora and Makardi walked on for days. Eventually they came to a narrow road with a cliff on either side of it and just ahead wedged between these 2 cliffs was a pool of blackish grey muck that filled the entire gap between the 2 cliffs so that there was no way across. To fly up was impossible because the sky was covered in thick grey fog so that it would be impossible to navigate.
“What is this place??” ,asked Aurora.
“The Pool of Infamy” ,responded Makardi.
“Never heard of it. This should be about the location of the Well of Desires…”,said Aurora
“It was.”, stated Makardi
“Then… What--”
“It was until the druid Kronos dropped the Mirror of Malevolence into it to kill the good in the pool. The only way the Spring will return is if you remove the mirror. Many have tried ,all have failed, and none have returned.”
“I have to try…My people are depending on it”
Aurora walks over and picks up a stick, she holds half of it over the pool and pulls. It does not budge.
“some sort of field…” Aurora searches in her belt and pulls out a re-breather. I’m going in, pray for me.
Makardi holds his breath as Aurora grabs a rock and dives in. The pool is too dark to see very well, so she waits till her feet hit bottom, sword drawn. Her feet hit bottom and are engulfed in plants. She cuts at them with her sword, only to have a mass rear up at her. Realizing its alive, Aurora swims as fast as she can slicing it every where she can reach. Her wings finally soak up enough water to weigh her down, not to mention they aren’t very good for swimming to begin with and her adversary takes advantage of that. It coils itself around her wings and neck pulling her down and strangling her. Aurora cuts frantically with her sword, just before she blacks out she gets free. Sucking in air through her re-breather as fast as she can, she finishes slicing the monster of weeds to pieces, pulling out the stump that’s left with her hands. She swims on, through caves and tunnels till she reaches the very bottom of the pool. There in the center is a grayish light and a shell. The shell is black as ebony, being made of purest onyx and inlaid with silver and diamonds.
So…this is the mirror…, Aurora thought. She swam forward slowy, sure that it was powerful, and deadly. The vibrations of her movements carry through the water and the Mirror of Malevolence opens. It glass is an opaque grey and a face appears in it.
“Welcome child.”, the mirror says
Aurora says nothing.
“Anyone who makes it this far gets a wish. Ask me your hearts desire.”
“…What can you possibly do for me??”
“ I can give you, wealth …power…fame…anything you ask”
“Can you fulfill a wish for someone else that I ask??”
“Yes anything you desire”
“Then, I wish for the Sacred Flame”
“In the room on your left”
Aurora nods and slowly swims that way the face in the mirror following her the who way. She does not open the door when she gets there. Instead Aurora turns around and swims back.
“If you can grant me anything, then how come you cannot make it appear before me??”
“Because it is more fulfilling if you have to get it yourself”
“I see…”
Aurora swims over to a vine and pulls it up, she then attaches it to the door handle of the room indicated earlier and pulls back. The door opens to reveal the bones of hundreds of people. Aurora swims back.
“Just as I thought. I’m not going in there”
“Then you will die here” The mirror smiles cruelly.
Aurora draws her sword. As soon as she does the mirror glows red and her sword vanishes.
“O_O’ MY SWORD!”
The mirror laughs. ”FOOL!”
The mirror glows red and begins to weave a net of darkness about Aurora, with threads so fine that they would be hard to see in the dark water, except that each thread glows a faint blue.
“When my net is finished you will be dead. You cannot win”
Aurora feels weaker and she knows the mirror is draining her life, slowly.
“Yes I can. I have one thing you do not have. One of the few things that CAN beat you” Aurora fishes through her belt and pulls out a glowing red gem. She looks at the Gem of Love and Truth. It is what every mother gives her child after her Adulthood Ceremony. Wherever the child goes she can talk to her mother and it will guide her to her home. For in the gem, is contained all the love the mother has for that child and the truth of what the child has been taught. With out this gem Aurora would not be able to speak to her mother on her journey or find her way home with ease again. The mirror’s eyes widen for an instant and then return to normal.
“A lot of good that will do you,” scoffed the mirror, grinning evilly.
“Your right it WILL do me a lot of good” Aurora smiled. She mustered all her strength and threw the gem into the mirror. A small chinking sound was heard as it hit the mirror. The Mirror of Malevolence glowed a bright yellow and closed.
Before it closed, it uttered one last challenge, “when you get out you will find something…“, It laughed cruelly and closed.
The net around Aurora faded and she swam over to the mirror, and opened it. It registered nothing. She musters all her strength and picks it up and flies to the surface. As soon as she breaks the surface the pond and the skies clear. She crawls onto shore, since her wings are to wet to let her fly. She Takes a large rock and shatters the mirror, it glows and disappears. Aurora looks for her friend seeing that he isn’t here. He is holding her sword and glaring menacingly at her. Aurora smiles at him uneasily.
“Makardi…Its me…” Aurora receives a wild stare in return. “You know…Aurora?? That little fire fairy…” Makardi keeps advancing menacingly never taking his lunatic stare off her. “ooooh nooo! That’s what the mirror meant!!” Aurora groans. She turns to the Spring of Desires.
“Spring of Desires I wish for my friend to be as he was. Spring of Desires GRANT MY WISH!”
The spring glows and then Makardi glows. When he stops he is back to normal. He shakes his head and smiles.
“Hey Aurora! You made it!!!”
“Hmmm…Lets go Makardi”
Aurora grabs Makardi under his arms and flies with him over the Spring.

Chapter 4: The Wind of Change and Time

Aurora sets the dwarf down as they reach the other side of the Spring. The walk on talking and laughing till they reach an open space. The ground is packed dirt and there are a few rocks, but not much else in sight. There are mountains in the far horizon and a brisk breeze. Aurora looks through her belt for something to tie her hair with, cause the breeze is blowing it all over. She finds something and ties her hair up. The dwarf waits so they can keep walking. But as soon as they take a step forward the wind stops and it transform into an opaque being.
“A nyad” explained Aurora under her breath. Makardi nodded. Aurora took the friendly approach. “Hi, My name is Aurora, what’s yours??”
“I am Florice, the wind of Time and Change” answered the nyad.
“All is poorly with the phoenix, and the sun rises ever lower with each passing day” ,explains Aurora
Florice’s features cloud with concern, ”How come??”
“The nymph has taken the Flame”
“No Way, your kidding.”
“Not a bit. I am the last they sent to seek it.”
“Ah. May all go well with the phoenix, and may the sun resume its normal course”
“Thank you. I would ask you, have you seen the Crystal Cave”
“Yes, I know where it is.”
“Can you tell us please??”
“yes.”
Aurora turned to Makardi. Makardi nodded. “Ready,“ He said.
“Thank you Makardi”,said Aurora. She turned to Florice. “we are ready.”
“Good, then listen closely,” said Florice and she began, “ A river is long, a river is wide, a river runs swiftly at high tide, follow the river over the mountain and fly to the ocean at the mouth of this fountain, toss in your treasure of highest regard and enter the cave, but be on your guard. For honor and wisdom you shall need, when Leichi the nymph you meet.”
Aurora wrote this down. “thank you.”
Florice nodded and flew off. Aurora and Makardi walked on.
“We should be getting close to your home now” ,said Aurora
“We are, it’s in the mountains up ahead.” ,answered Makard “How come she knew who you were??”
“who??”
“Florice”
“Oh! Her. She was there when we made the Sacred Flame”
“…Made??”
“That’s right made, see, long ago the Pheonix flew the skies. All 300,000 of us. Our light kept the night from really being night, lighting up the dark sky and making it a beautiful shade of orange red--”
“How came you to be fairies then??” interrupted Makardi
“I’m getting to that. We flew night and day for hundreds of years, we knew every spec and landmark on the earth by memory. But soon, no matter how many times we regenerated, our wings grew ever heavier and after a while we got so tired of flying, that we had to land. We knew we could not, because our energy and fire, heat and smoke would burn everything we touched. So we all came together and formed a circle to consult each other and decide what to do. We talked for days. Finally we came to an answer. We put our powers of regeneration and eternal youth into the form a of a flame, and we found a stick that would not burn with the heat and light, and put the flame on it. We used what power we had left to calm the volcanoe and turn ourselves into the form of fairies. We have the same long life span, but we no longer can regenerate. Only those who have equipped a quintessence stone can turn into their true form as a phoenix. The queen gives those stones only to the most worthy so that the power may not be abused. For a phoenix is more powerful than the queen and all the fairies combined. Defeatable, but not without a great price. And we call ourselves, The Clan of the Fire Fairies, of the Order of the Sacred Flame.”

Makardi nodded, taking this all in as they walked toward the mountains.

Chapter 4: the crystal cave

They climbed the mountains slowly for many days. When they reached the top of Granite Cliff, Makardi directed them toward his home. From this distance they could see, a city inside a forest, as they got closer they could see Buildings of beautiful white marble and roads of ebony. As they got closer they could see the palace of the Emperor Stagis. It was made of purest gold, decorated in precious jewels. Aurora could see Elves with their bows come out from the shadows.
“Halt in the name of Stagis! Who goes there?!” Asked the lead guard.
“It is me Makardi”
“Makardi… Should we know you??”
“It has been 10 years…I would be surprised if you did.”
“You ARE a dwarf”
“Once head blacksmith of the Royal Smithy to his Imperial Majesty.”
“Do you know the password??”
“Depends on if it changed… But I’ll give it a try…”
“we are waiting…”
“The Earth is Round and the Emperor rejoices”
“The day is Long and the sun shines on the Emperor. You may pass, But the…being…behind you, Can we trust it??”
“Aurora?? Yeah, you can trust her” Said Makardi
“…Thank you friend, but this is where we part, I have to find the cave…”, Aurora replied
“Oh…Yes…” He turned around and took her hand. “Please be careful, and do visit sometime. When you do come back, all you have to do is say that you are a friend of Makardi, and I’ll get you in”
Aurora squeezes his hand back.
“I will. I hope you get your job back, and that His Imperial Majesty isn’t too upset with you. I will come back someday. Goodbye Makardi.”, She released his hand as Makardi entered his homeland. She then jumped up, and flew off over the mountains to search for a river. She found it and followed it. When she reached the mouth of the river, she had to think what Florice said to see what to do next. She recited it out loud.
“ A river is long, a river is wide, a river runs swiftly at high tide, follow the river over the mountain and fly to the ocean at the mouth of this fountain, toss in your treasure of highest regard and enter the cave, but be on your guard. For honor and wisdom you shall need, when Leichi the nymph you meet.”
“Treasure of highest regard”what would that be?? Aurora thought about what mattered most to her. She had her ocarina, and a picture of her family…the only things left to her that she had to remind her of them, besides her memories. She sighed and dropped the picture in the water. A cave rose out of the ground, and she entered it. It was beautiful!! Crystals of ice covered the walls, and the light sparkling off them from the sunlight outside made it absolutely breath taking. She walked on, looking at the sights, and picked up a pretty crystal that had detached itself, on her way. Finnally she reached the center of the cave. There was the Sacred Flame!It had a puddle sitting in front of it, but that was easily over come. She flew up, and over the puddle to reach the flame, however, as soon as she flew over the puddle it took shape, and Aurora had to go back to where she came from.
“Leichi!”
“They send another child?? Your barely past your first year as an adult, and they send you to fight me??” Leichi burst into laughter.
Aurora was thinking on what Florice said”Honor and wisdom” How was she going to get that?? She thought.
“whats the matter child?? Stunned into silence??” Leichi shoots her with a beam of water
Aurora grunt as her wings hit the wall first and then her body. She hears a snap, and checks her wings, stifling a gasp as searing pain shoots through her shoulder.
Leichi sucks some of Aurora’s life away, And Aurora feels herself get weaker. Aurora realizes that leichi is using, both water and darkness techniques. She realized the codex would help her. She pulls it out and opens it. On the page she opened it it had a listing of all the properties of each element. Aurora closed the book.
“Prepare to die Leichi.” She said calmly.Lichi just laughs, and shoots ice spikes at Aurora. Aurora, emits heat and the spikes evaporate, She then sends a heat wave at Leichi, as well as beams of light.
Leichi moans as the heat wave hits her, causing blisters to break out in her skin. She manages to dodge all but one of the light beams which puts a hole in her arm. Leichi drains life from Aurora, healing up most of her wounds. Aurora ignites her Kagari-bi, ad sends it at leichi’s heart. Leichi dodges, and it hit’s the wall near her, exploding and causing massive damage to Leichi. Aurora fields herself in light as Leichi attempts to drain more life off her. She then sends a huge fire ball at leichi. Leichi takes it, and disintegrates. But in her place, another being appears.

Chapter 5: The Return of the Flame. (the story does not end here folks)


The new being is hooded and seeing his face is not possible. Aurora thought he looked like a sage.
“who are you??” aurora said, still in a relaxed combat position.
“I Am Cirvante Malone.” The being said
“Your element is darkness right?? “
“Yes why??”
“oh, just wondering.” Aurora shoots him with a beam of light. Cirvante makes a pitiful attempt
To stop it and dies, Leichi reappears in his place, battered, but not dead.
“But--How??--” Said Aurora somewhat flustered.
“By switching places with Cirvante, he could keep you distracted long enough, for me to do THIS!” Lichis Said as she pulled out one of 2 Dowsing Drops. The water people Had 2 Dowsing drops. They were the elemental symbols of the water clan, and contained the equivalent of the Sacred Flame’s power, Although their history was different. The water people could live on just one as well as the could on 2. Leichi was holding the Dowsing drop over the Sacred Flame. Aurora stood there stunned.
“No! You wouldn’t” She exclaimed, barely above a whisper, fully knowing that she would. “Alright Leichi, what do you want me to do??” She asked sighing. If she didn’t get that Flame, her people would die.
Leichi smiled cruelly, “ All you have to do is NEVER see your family again, and never associate with your clan after you bring them the flame, until I die. Also you must live above ground for the rest of your life.”
Aurora’s mind reeled. Never see her family again?? She didn’t know if she could bear it. That hope had been part of what had kept her going this whole time. Water nymphs had a long life span, leichi already had about 240 years under her belt, leaving 10 more to go. Ten long years. Living above ground she could handle, even if things were strange there…It would be easy to say no, and live in comfort. But she could not live happily, knowing she had the chance to save her people and didn’t.
“Fine, I accept.”
“I knew you would be reasonable.” Leichi handed her the flame. Aurora turned and began the long flight home.
When she got there, tired and worn out, she went straight to the Palace, with her prize. The Guards offered no resistance as she flew rapidly through the palace to the queens chambers unannounced. She knocked on the large marble doors inlaid with gold and precious jewels in a lovely flowering design.
“Enter” said the queen in her court voice.
Aurora entered slowly holding the Sacred Flame, and beaming. Queen Lauren gasped audibly. “--Is That--”
Aurora nodded smiling. And placed it on its pedestal in the center of the room. As soon as she did, she felt a surge flow through her, bringing strength and warmth, life and health. Aurora was satisfied, her mission had been successfully completed, and her people would live.
“You have done well brave warrior. Tell me what happened.”
So Aurora told her story leaving out the ending. Queen Lauren guessed as to happened. “Here Take this” she handed her a Pheonix Stone.
“T-Thank you My Queen, I am honored.”
“Don’t thank me yet” said Queen Lauren, smiling slightly. ”This comes with a job you know”
“name it”
“Now that we have the flame, we must protect it, the 3 portals are back in there places now. This will give you many new abilities, with which to guard the portals. Try healing yourself”
Aurora tried, and then moved her wings. She found that she had and could heal herself. “Go, and live above, on the upper world. You’re a Pheonix now and that is your place.”
“Thank you My Queen, Before I go, I brought back something else.” She placed the Codex of Honor on the Queens lap.” When I took it, the Lost Woods reverted back to being a maze.”
“My child you have done much for our Clan. Thank you”
“Your welcome.” aurora flew out of the city and through the portals, locking each one behind her. When she reached the last one she passed it and went above ground to live, locking it behind her.
