"Follow me." The Phoenix said and she go out of the cave. She fly above the trees and Moisheria followed her. They go into the peak of the Mountain.
"The view here is so beautiful. I can see a lot of village and castles from here." Moisheria said.
"Ofcourse! This is the highest Mountain in this Magical World and from here, I can see everything clearly." Lady Phoenix said.
"You're a Phoenix spirit who practiced magic and cultivated yourself for thousands of years. I can feel that you are so strong and powerful. Maybe, your eyes is like a telescope which can see everything clearly from a long distance now. Am I right?" Moisheria asked.
"Yes, I can see everything and it becomes clearer as the distance gets longer." Lady Phoenix replied. "But, what is a telescope?" She asked.
"I have seen it in the Magical Academy. It is a medium used to see something from a far distance clearly, like stars." Moisheria answered.
"Mhmm. Quite an impressive invention but it's not what we are talking about now." Lady Phoenix said. "Let me give you my first challenge.
" She added.
"I'm all ears to hear it Lady Phoenix." Moisheria replied.
"This is one of my red feathers. You can hide it anywhere you want and by any means you can. You have to make sure that I can't see it with in five minutes. If I found it, you will lose and you have to stay here forever as my slave." Lady Phoenix said. "Deal?" She added.
"Mhmm. Deal." Moisheria replied.
"Interesting!" Lady Phoenix said. "Get it." She added and throw the red feather to Moisheria.
"What a beautiful feather." Moisheria said while staring at the red feather of the Phoenix.
"I will close my eyes now. You can cover my eyes if you want before you hide the feather." Lady Phoenix said and she closed her eyes.
"Alright, let me cover your eyes and ears before I hide it." Moisheria said and go closer to the Phoenix.
Moisheria get a piece of her cloth and personally wrap it into the eyes and ears of the Lady.
"It's done. I know you can barely hear me. Please wait for a couple of minutes for me to be able to hide the feather." Moisheria said and Lady Phoenix just smirked.
Moisheria fly as fast as she could and go into a lot of directions. After a few minutes, she came back in front of lady Phoenix.
"It's done." Moisheria said and used her magic to get the cloth that covers the eyes and ears of Lady Phoenix.
"No barrier can stop my eyes. No matter how far did you hide it, even if you dig the ground I will be able to see it." Lady Phoenix said confidently to Moisheria.
"Don't waste your time Lady Phoenix." Moisheria said and show a Magical clock to the Lady. "You only have five minutes and your time starts now." Moisheria said seriously.
"You're such a tricky Phoenix and I will use tricks too to defeat you." Moisheria said in her mind.
"Hahahaha." Lady Phoenix laughed and it echoed in the whole mountain. Then, she look around. She look in every corner but she found no feather.
"Tricky little girl. Where did you hide it." Lady Phoenix murmured. Then, she fly above the trees. She look everywhere but she still can't see the feather. "Mhmm. This girl is not capable of teleporting, it's just near here." She said in her mind.
"s**t! Why can't I see it?" Lady Phoenix asked herself. "No barrier works against my eyes. This can't be, is there anything else I haven't look at?" Lady Phoenix keeps on thinking while flying above the trees to look for the feather.
"Lady Phoenix, you only have one minute left." Moisheria reminded the lady. She is following Lady Phoenix wherever she go.
Lady Phoenix stared at Moisheria but she found nothing. "The skies!" She said and smiled. Then, she looked above confidently that she will be able to see the feather.
"Times up." Moisheria said. "I won." She added and smiled.
"You!" Lady Phoenix said while pointing her forefinger to Moisheria's face. "Where did you hide the feather? Didn't you ruined it?" She asked and tried to calm down herself.
"It's on your dress." Moisheria replied and chuckled.
"You!" Lady Phoenix feel disgusted. She found the feather inside her dress. She looked everywhere but forget to look at her own body. "So ridiculous. Stop laughing or I'll tear you into pieces." She warned Moisheria.
"Tell me the second challenge." Moisheria said seriously.
"This time, I'm sure that you can't win this challenge." Lady Phoenix said.
"Bring it on." Moisheria replied.
"See that lofty tree which is 30 meters away from here?" Lady Phoenix asked.
"Ofcourse." Moisheria replied while looking at the tree.
"It has a golden fruit in it's highest branch. From here, you have to race against me. Whomever gets the Golden fruit first will be the winner." Lady Phoenix instructed.
"Wise Phoenix. I can't win against her when it talks about the fastest runner nor flyer. She can teleport too if we use magic." In Moisheria's thought. "How can I win against her this time?" Moisheria asked herself.
"Silence? Do you want to surrender now dear?" Lady Phoenix asked. "Hahahaha!" She laughed.
"No rules in this game, right?" Moisheria asked.
"Did I say any rules?" Lady Phoenix asked back sarcastically.
"Bring it on." Moisheria said confidently.
"Alright, I will give you a chance." Lady Phoenix said and smirked. "At the count of Three, I will move to get the Golden Apple. Yet, you can start as I counted One." She instructed.
"Fair enough." Moisheria replied.
"One." Lady Phoenix counted and Moisheria eventually put an invisible barrier around Lady Phoenix. Then, Moisheria run as fast as she could to get the Golden Apple.
"Two." Lady Phoenix counted again.
"Three." Lady Phoenix had spoken her go signal. Then, she immediately tried to teleport but she can't move.
"Moisheria!" Lady Phoenix shouted in anger.
In the other hand, Moisheria is now in the front of the tree. She fly until she reach the highest branch and see the Golden fruit. Moisheria waste no time, she immediately pick the Golden fruit. Then, she go back to Lady Phoenix.
"How dare you seal me in this invisible barrier again." Lady Phoenix said when she saw Moisheria coming.
"I'm sorry. This game has no rules and I guess I haven't done anything wrong." Moisheria replied and released Lady Phoenix from the barrier.
"But putting a restriction around me is not fair." Lady Phoenix said.
"So, teleporting is fair?" Moisheria sarcastically asked. "I can't win against you in either running or using magic. I'm not capable of teleporting, you know that. When I fight against you, it will only consume my energy. I have no choice but to put a barrier around you to win." Moisheria explained.
"You passed my second challenge. Let's see if you can do my third challenge." Lady Phoenix said.
"I will surely do my best." Moisheria replied. "I'm hoping that you won't go back with your words and give me what I want after this." She added.
"I won't go back with my words but don't be excited. You don't passed my third challenge yet." Lady Phoenix said.
