‘I need those tears’

Frey POV

"One last adventure you said, it'll be fun you said, I should have never fucking listened to you!! Sven yelled as we ran through a deserted village.

"How was I supposed to know they didn't like people asking for their tears, it's not like I'm asking for much I just need it to fucking cry. I tell back before dodging a large fireball sent my way.

"Aren't you supposed to be the all-knowing magical expert? How the ruck did you not know this?!! He asked.

"You do realize I'm the one with magic powers right? I'm the only one who can protect you, you should really be treating me with more respect!" I yell back at him while dodging another fireball. "Over here quickly!" I yell jumping into an old temple and closing the door behind Sven.

"We can hide here for now, the walls are thick enough to withstand the heat of his flames, but we can't stay here forever." I say to him.

"Tell me again why is it you're so desperate for Phoenix tears, you told me it was for your brother who's destined to die, but you never explained what that meant, what is so important about those tears that we spent the last 4 years searching for them?" He asks me.

Sigh "how do I explain this, I'm what you would call clairvoyant, I'm a warlock with the ability to see specific points in the future, one of these points is my youngest brother Henrik's death." I tell him. 'I obviously can't see the future but I can't exactly tell him that I watched Henrik die on tv.' I think to myself.

"I still don't understand why you need the tears for, I've heard of witches being able to bring people back to life, isn't there a spell out here you could use I've also heard of elixirs that can be used to resurrect someone?" He asks me.

"Bringing someone back to life isn't as simple as it sounds, those witches you speak of usually have tremendous magical power and channel some of their ancestors to do it, I'm a powerful warlock but I don't have the power to do that and my ancestral line isn't long enough to channel. As for those elixirs you speak of they only work on supernatural creatures, my brother has the witch gene but he's still only human, that's why those tears are so important, if I add them with the other ingredients I've gathered I can create a magical paste that can be used to bring him back to life, that's why I need those tears." I explain to him.

Sigh "I guess you really don't have any other choice do you? So how do you want to do this, his tears have to be given willingly and he doesn't seem very willing right now." Says Sven.

"I need to lure him into a room isolation spell, Phoenix's can sense magic so he'll know what I'm doing so I'll need you to do all the preparations and art up while I hold him back." I tell him.

I gather the ingredients and hand them over to him before walking to the door. "I'm going out now get ready."

"Good luck kid and make sure not to die, I hear it's bad luck to die on your name day." He says to me.

'Name day huh? I completely forgot it was my birthday today, I'm running out of time, I need to finish this and get back home quickly.' I think to myself before walking out of the temple.

As soon as I step out a gigantic fireball flies towards me. I jump out of the way and hit him with a freezing spell "Glacies corporis". The spell causes the Phoenix's flames to start cooling down rapidly, though it doesn't last long and seems to only irritate it more. 'I gotta stall for a little more.'

I fire a water spell at him and run away making him follow after me. 'How much longer are you gonna take Sven, I can't hold him back forever."

"Frey Now!!" yelled Sven's voice. I turn around and run straight to the temple, I burst through the door just as the Phoenix swoops in and crashes against the wall. "Sven, get out now I'm gonna activate the spell!"

Sven and I rush out just as the Phoenix regains its bearings and the spell activates, it starts screeching and battering itself against the barrier.

Huff, Huff "We did it he's trapped, but what now, how are you gonna get its tears?" Even asks me.

"Simple, I'm gonna ask him nicely". I say as I walk back towards the entrance of the temple. "Ok listen here you annoying ass fire chicken, I'm only going to ask you one last time, give me those fucking tears of or I'm going to leave you to rot here for eternity constantly dying and coming back to life until finally your mind breaks."

The Phoenix stops its screeching and flies down to the room floor and seems to contemplate what I said.

"Good, seems you've calmed down, I'm going to slide this vial in the room I want you to cry into it, once it's filled I'll summon it back to me and leave this village once I'm far away from here I'll release the spell." I tell it.

I slide the vial across the floor and wait as the Phoenix starts to cry its golden tears into the vial. 'Good, I can save Henrik with this, now I can finally return home and just in time too.'
