"You must be wrong," Alex said. "Those are the good elders. They are the ones that have been helping me all this time."
"No, I'm certain. They are the ones that killed me," Scarlet said. "I didn't remember the other one's face, but these 10, I remember very well. I am certain I fought them before I died."

"Us phoenixes when we die, we go through rebirth. I was born again, and that is why I say that I died," she said.
Alex looked at her with wide eyes. "Why would they kill you though?" he asked. "What use can—"
Alex paused. The council elders told everyone that the phoenixes were secluded and used that opportunity to rule over the continent. Was that it?
"Are there other phoenixes in the Sunborn Sanctuary?" Alex asked.
"No," Scarlet said. "I was the only one that came here. I was the only one to rule the Southern Continent."
