"My little girl, you're awake now." Orfeila said to Moisheria.
"Mother?" Moisheria asked.
"I'm so happy that you have wake up now, we've search all the island just to find you." Gourno said.
"What happened?" Moisheria asked.
"You fell into a hole because a Jaguar is chasing you, remember?" Orfeila replied and Moisheria tried to sit down.
"Easy, you've fallen asleep for three days. You maybe tired and hungry, I will get the food for you now." Orfeila said and she walk to get some fruits.
"Father, I have a very long dream. It seems so true." Moisheria said to Gourno.
"It's just a dream dear, don't mind it. You are awake now, don't ever go out of the forest alone again. Alright?" Gourno said.
"I'm sorry father." Moisheria said.
"It's alright. What's important now is that you're awake and safe." Orfeila replied. "Eat some fruits now." She added.
"Yes, just eat now so that you can regain your strength." Gourno added.
"Thank you Mother, Father." Moisheria replied.
A few moments later.
"Mother, I want to go out and play with the birds. Can I?" Moisheria asked.
"Ofcourse." Orfeila replied and then, the girl go outside the house.
"This is such a beautiful place." Moisheria said.
"Moisheria, Moisheria!" A voice echoed in the ears of Moisheria.
"Who are you?" Moisheria asked.
"Wake up, you have to finish your task no matter what happened." The voice of a woman said.
"What task? What do you mean?" Moisheria asked.
"Moisheria? Are you talking with anyone?" Orfeila asked when she came out of the house.
"No Mother. I just heard some strange voice." Moisheria replied.
"You look so strong now. Do you want me to teach you a new magic spells?" Orfeila asked.
"Orfeila, she's just newly awaken." Gourno shouted inside the house.
"It's alright father. I would like learn too. Please." Moisheria said.
"Alright, it's up to you." Gourno shouted from inside the house again.
"OK. Repeat what I say." Orfeila said.
"Yes Mother." Moisheria replied.
A few moments later.
"Mother, look. I made the stone fly." Moisheria happy said to Orfeila. "It's flying. It's flying." Moisheria shouted happily.
"Wow! You made it even without a wand." Orfeila replied. "Gourno come here." She called her husband.
"I made it. I made it. It's so amazing." Moisheria shouted with full of joy.
Three days passed and Moisheria was still trap in her illusions.
"Moisheria wake up. You have to finish your task." A woman's voice said when Moisheria wake up in her bed.
"Moisheria, your awake. Today we are to have a swimming in the seashore." Orfeila said.
"We already prepared some foods to bring. Let's go?" Gourno added.
Moisheria suddenly remembered everything. The Lady Phoenix and the Magical World.
Moisheria think a lot of which is her dream. Is she dreaming of being back in the Island now? Or everything that happened in other Magical World is the real dream and just an illusion?
"My dear, are you alright?" Orfeila asked but Moisheria is still thinking deeply.
"Moisheria? Don't you want to go swimming?" Gourno asked.
"The sun shines so beautiful. It's so nice to swim today dear." Orfeila said.
"This is a fake world made by the Phoenix to trap everyone." Moisheria said.
"What are you talking about?" Orfeila asked. "You maybe tired. If you don't want to go out, it's alright." Orfeila added.
Moisheria hugged her parents immediately.
"I missed you so much." Moisheria said.
"My dear daughter, you are so sweet." Orfeila said.
"Are we going out now?" Gourno asked and smiled.
"I missed my parents so much but you are not them." Moisheria said and let go of the two.
"Moisheria? It is me, your mother. And Gourno, your father. What are you talking about?" Orfeila asked.
"Get away from me. Get away!" Moisheria shouted and Orfeila cried.
"Don't you love me anymore?" Orfeila asked while crying.
"Don't you missed us?" Gourno added with a very sad face.
"You are just my illusions. I will see you as soon as I succeed with my task and fulfill the prophecy. Just a little more sacrifice Mother, Father." Moisheria said.
Then, everything changed into emptiness. Moisheria closed her eyes and when she opened it, she's back into the forest of the Mountain Pappi.
"How long have I slept?" Moisheria asked herself.
Moisheria found out that Lady Phoenix made it to escape from the barrier and broke the cage. So, the girl walk around to see lady Phoenix again.
"It's already the third human skeletons that I found." Moisheria said while she is looking at the bones. "I guess, they haven't wake up from their dreams until their bodies died. What a wonderful dream that everyone would really love to stay there forever." She added.
Moisheria continue walking and later on, she find a cave. She enter the cave and found a table full of delicious foods inside.
"You are extraordinary. You even win against your own emotions and leave that perfect life in your illusions." A woman's voice echoed inside the cave.
"Did you prepared this for me?" Moisheria asked while looking at the delicious foods.
Then, Lady Phoenix appeared in front of Moisheria.
"After a thousands of years, there's finally one person who conquer her emotions and desires." Lady Phoenix said. "Have a sit and eat with me." She added.
Moisheria sit down and get an apple.
"Did you put any poison on it?" Moisheria seriously asked.
"Hahahaha!" Lady Phoenix laughed. "It's not the kind of game that I want to play." She said.
Moisheria eat the apple and found out that it is very sweet.
"Thanks!" Moisheria said. "How long did I sleep?" She asked.
"A couple of weeks. I even thought that you're going to die that time. You made me amazed and because of that, I will give what you want." Lady Phoenix said.
"Really?" Moisheria asked.
"But it's not that easy dear. Hahahaha!" Lady Phoenix said and laughed. "I have three challenges that you have to passed." She added.
"I will try my best to do whatever you asked me to do." Moisheria replied.
"Interesting. Let's eat first before I tell you what are the challenges." Lady Phoenix said. "I know you are very hungry because you haven't eaten for weeks." She added.
Moisheria just smiled and think of something. "This Phoenix is not as bad as everyone thought in the foot of this mountain. Yet, I can only assure it right after she give her challenges." The girl said in her mind while eating with the Phoenix.
