Reaching the Point of Journey

"So,this is the locker room ,where I could change my dress." thought Rose ,as she entered the room and peeked at others.

(The phoenix palace.)

The locker room was decorated with Phoenix features and one more  noticeable fact about the room was that the war was all made of fire.The room was basically made of fire but it was not burning.

"Why am I still alive ?" Questioned Rose to herself. 

Then she thought maybe because she was summoned hence her body adapted to the temperature. 

"No time to waste ,I have to get out of here." Said Rose and quickly hid behind a curtain placed on the side of a locker.

As a girl opened the locker to take her jewels, Rose made a sound and threw her bangle on the opposite side.

The noise of the Bangle made that girl alert and she went to the side to check .

Rose then quickly took a pair of uniforms and wore them on then she covered her face with a mask so that nobody could recognise her.

However, the more you want to cover yourself the more suspicious it seems it was in the case of her too.

As soon as she started to walk away from the room somebody shouted at her and stopped her.

"Hey you, what are you doing?" Said she ,stopping Rose up.

Rose stood still without saying a word ,she thought that it might be the end and she prepared herself to run ,though she knew they would catch up with her any moment. 

"I asked you something. What are you doing here?" Said she as she slowly started approaching her.

"I..I am here to look for my earnings. " she said in a stammering voice trying to hide her own tone.

"Earnings but you are wearing that." She said now becoming more suspicious. 

Rose then heard some girls talking in the corridor. 

"What! The main dancer had not arrived yet." Said one of the girls .

"Yes,but now who will do the steps?" Said the other one replying.

Listening to them Rose made out that some dancer who was going to perform has not arrived and they need a substitute for that.

Rose suddenly got an idea and quickly she remarked.

" I am here . I came as a substitute. " Rose shouted as she ran hurriedly.

The girls looked at her ,who suddenly popped outta nowhere calming herself as a substitute. 

"You came here as a substitute. " asked one of them as they looked at her rather suspiciously. 

"Hey, I told you to stop and explain and why did you suddenly ran out 

" said that girl running towards her.

The other two became more suspicious about her identity. 

Rose quickly remarked,"The lead dancer asked to become a substitute and she sent me here." 

"How can We believe you?" Said the second girl,she was wearing a green top ,pantaloons and a scarf covering her well knitted bun.

Rose knew that was a dance dress mostly worn in Asia .

"I can tell you the dance code poem." Rose said, looking at them.

Rose read the Mythology of Phoenix and she knew that with the dance specific code poems were sung there and those poems were only sung by the lead dancer because others can't utter those words .

Rose was different from them and she can utter those words because she didn't fall under their hierarchy system.

Rose took a deep breath and prayed to God for her survival.

She then began:

"The moon swept dancing in her arms,

The mist if the day and night mixed ,

Giving in a wide grey yet beautiful expression,

The birth of the tree was also a pre planned event.

In her bosom lies a tiny creature. 

Creating the mystery of the world.

Defeated,betrayed but still came back.

Rising from its ashes .

It fires the stabbers with black lashes. 

This is the legendary myth.

"The legend of Phoenix. "

As soon as she finished others bowed down in front of her .She knew they bowed down to the holy song.

She heaved a sigh of relief seeing their reaction, she managed to pass the test.

"Holy lady,you passed .We believe in you, please lead the dance." The two girls did rise up.

"You should have told me earlier." Said that girl in a soft manner.

"You two take her to change her clothes ." Said she was directing the way.

Both of them nodded and turned towards Rose directing her to change the clothes and get ready for the ceremonial performance. 

Rose thought "if I am not wrong this performance is held for welcoming the warrior as stated in the myths but if something goes wrong the summoned hero may die." 

All three of them walked down the hall with Rose. 

The Mountain side

(The Mountain third slope)

(Hidden cave.)

"This rock is shining, maybe this is the door." thought Alistair, Looking at the rock.

He walked towards the rock with his legs almost giving up and crying of pain.

He was getting more anxious as time passed by and his intuition told him that Rose, might have fallen into some kind of danger.

He then placed his hands on the rock surface and suddenly the rock slided to the left side making an entrance .

He gulped his saliva and proceeded inside, the door closed automatically and a light emerged in that dark area.

He walked in the direction of the light and soon found a strange diagram drawn on the floor with a mirror facing his.

Looking at the diagram he closed his eyes and started thinking, she was trying desperately to find any clue.

When, she suddenly remembered that Rose once told him about the 'yin -yang' diagram.

He opened his eyes he didn't know that if it was that diagram but he stood at the middle of the diagram ,cut her finger tip skin .Blood that dripped out from the cut was utilized by him and he poured the blood into the formation, he poured the blood in synchronized manner starting from the earth and reached the heaven element.

To his surprise it worked and the mirror activated, emitting a light and dragged him in with a strong whirlwind following from the surface.

He too travelled like Rose and reached the land.

"Ah where am I?" he asked, himself looking at his surroundings. 

He was thrown into the midst of a dense forest….
