Fire Phoenix

They arrived at the scene to find everything in a mess. There were flaming pits on the ground, and the fire seemed inextinguishable. The stones and trees nearby all exploded as if there was a world war.

Himmel Soan saw a single person on a spot where the ground was still intact. It was Rustam!

"Are you alone? Where are the others?" Himmel Soan asked.

Rustam was shocked to see him again. He felt conflicted because he didn't know if it was a good thing or not. He hesitated before saying, "Sir, why are you here?"

Clunk…

They heard the loud sound made by a phoenix. All three of them looked up at the sky. It was a fire phoenix with flaming red feathers. Its tail took up two-thirds of its entire length. Three bright red feathers stood on its head like a crown.

The phoenix opened its beak to create a ball of fire.

"Run! It's a sacred beast. I'm sorry to get you in danger!" Rustam said anxiously.
