115 Face Slapping

It was already noon, the weather was rather hot. The guards at the door of the vast castle of the centre of the Vermillion City were sweating profusely. At the centre of the plaza in front of the castle was a huge statue — the statue of the bird; furthermore, it was covered in orange flames. The statue was rather vivid and lifelike.

"Roar!"

Suddenly a roar resounded and a huge silhouette appeared in the sky. The guards looked at the figure and turned pale with fright. 

"It's som-someone from that place again," one of the guards said with a trembling voice.

"Shh! Don't you know a loose tongue can cause a great catastrophe? We are just guards and don't need to worry about anything else." warned another guard, his face was filled with reverence and fear when he looked at the figure in the sky.

After nearing the castle, the silhouette in the sky became clear — it was a tiger flying in the air!
