It is a big day in the history of this world.

Shannon takes a deep breath. She is the only human in this meeting -- only a human who doesn't have a magical or spiritual background -- and only one who is seated on this row. On the opposite side, there are people. She doesn't know what else to call them. For sure, they aren't human.

[On the centre, the phoenix is seated.]

"Phoenix?" Shannon mutters, eyeing the tall and slim woman with flaming eyes. A shudder runs down her spine. Even though there's a distance between her and that woman, she can sense a strange pressure in the air. "A real phoenix?"

[Yes, she is the last one -- and you shouldn't offend her by staring into her eyes. Look away, Shannon.]

She follows Pi's advice. Shannon turns her gaze toward the woman sitting next to the phoenix. The woman looks human and Asian, but she has bright blue eyes.
