1141 Words
The Men of Huntre left Moisheria in the lake outside the forest.
"Congratulations for finishing your first task." Queen Defil immediately said when she appeared in front of Moisheria beside the lake.
"Queen Defil, you are here." Moisheria said.
"I am watching you everywhere you go. I can teleport to anywhere unless there's a shields and other barriers." Queen Defil replied. "It's time to give your second task." She added.
"I'm ready!" Moisheria said.
"In mountain of Pappi, there's a Lady Phoenix. In the tip of it's right wing, there's a precious thing that you must get. Be careful because this lady is very tricky" Queen Defil said.
"I will be." Moisheria replied.
"Remember, you must make her transform into a Phoenix and get that thing on it's wing no matter what happened. It is your second task." Queen Defil said.
"I will do everything to succeed in this." Moisheria replied and the Queen disappeared.
"A Phoenix who can transform into a lady, sounds interesting." Moisheria said and walk away.
From the lake, Moisheria traveled by foot to reach the mountains of Pappi.
After seven restless days, Moisheria finally reached the foot of the mountain. There's a little village there and Moisheria planned to stay here for a day to know something about the mountains.
"My Lady, the mountain of Pappi is the highest mountain and it's peak is visible anywhere in this Magical World. It said that there's a lot of treasure inside the mountain's forest. This mountain was cared and guarded by the lady Phoenix and everyone here was scared to get inside. It is said that when you enter this mountain, you can never get down again. Snd it's true, a lot have pass by her to go to the mountain since I was young but no one of them had ever comeback." The servant of a tavern said.
"Tell me about the Phoenix and what is it capable of." Moisheria said.
"Centuries ago, there's a man who made to get out of the mountain. He said that the Phoenix let him go to tell everyone that she will never spare one's life again. Whomever will threaten to destroy the prosperous mountain and desire for its treasure will be killed. He also said that this Phoenix has cultivated it self for thousands of years until she is able to transform into a human form. That's why we call her lady Phoenix. As for her skills, she is surely unbeatable in kungfu and magic." The servant answered.
"There's a lot of aspiring Kung Fu masters and powerful creatures now. You can't be sure of the word, unbeatable." Moisheria said.
"Maybe someone can beat her, but I guess it's quite hard to my lady." The servant replied.
"Thanks for the information. Take this and leave." Moisheria said while giving three pieces gold coins.
"It's too much my lady. Thank you so much for your generosity." The servant said and bow to Moisheria. Then, he leave.
The night pass and Moisheria wake up. She buy a horse and get inside the forest.
"This mountain is so creepy, where can I find the phoenix in this very wide forest?" Moisheria asked herself while riding in a horse. She used to cut the bark of some trees that she pass by in order for her to recognize her way back easily.
It's almost night but Moisheria didn't find anything inside the forest.
"It's such a wide mountain full of trees. Where are you Lady Phoenix, why don't you show up now." Moisheria said.
"Why are you looking for me?" A gorgeous lady suddenly appeared in front of Moisheria.
Moisheria get down of her horse and walk around the lady.
"You are so beautiful, how can the people get scared of you?" Moisheria asked.
"Hahahaha!" The Lady laughed. "Those who are scared have only bad intentions. You, little girl. Why are here? Are you not afraid to get lost in my territory?" Lady Phoenix asked.
"I need to get something from you." Moisheria honestly answered.
"How dare you." The Lady Phoenix said while pointing her forefinger to Moisheria's face.
"I'm just answering your question." Moisheria replied sarcastically.
"You're so bold and straight forward. You must know the consequences." Lady Phoenix said. "I am in a good mood now, leave this forest if you don't want to get hurt." She added.
"I won't leave without finishing my task." Moisheria seriously said.
"It's getting dark dear. If you stay here for a night, everything you will see tomorrow will be different. You could never get out of here. Hahahaha!" Lady Phoenix said and she tried to disappear.
"I'm sorry for this." Moisheria said.
"You, how dare you make a magical barrier around me." Lady Phoenix said angrily.
As Moisheria walk around the lady lately, she's already making a magical barrier in order to caught the lady. She had make sure to never let this Phoenix get away.
"I don't intend to fight and hurt you. I just want something from your wings. I promise to leave this forest as soon as I get it. Please don't make it hard for me lady Phoenix." Moisheria said.
"Mhmm, just my feather? You can take some but get the barrier first." Lady Phoenix said.
"Get the barrier and you are going to kill me?" Moisheria asked and the Phoenix become so angry. "Let me get it first and I will released you." Moisheria added.
"Get lost. You will never have what you want." Lady Phoenix replied angrily. She sit down like a monk and close her eyes.
"Are you trying to break the barrier? Let me put you into a cage if that's the case." Moisheria said and a cage appeared.
"Hahahaha!" The laugher of the Lady Phoenix echoed in this whole mountain. "Ridiculous, you don't know what you are doing. I'm not a little bird whom you can easily put into a cage. You really want to taste my power, I will deal with you tomorrow." The Phoenix said.
"Just don't make it hard for yourself. I just need something from your wings. If I can get it, I will get down of this mountain immediately." Moisheria said.
Moisheria tried to convince the Lady Phoenix but it never speak again. Lady Phoenix only close sit down steadily with closed eyes.
Moisheria tried to use her magic to transform the lady into a Phoenix but all her efforts end up in vain. It is already late at night but Moisheria did not want to sleep. Later on, the lady started to sing and Moisheria fell bad about it. The song made Moisheria feel very sleepy but Moisheria fight against it. Moisheria know that something bad will happen if she fell asleep. She slap herself again and again but later on, she didn't conquer her sleepiness. Moisheria had fallen asleep.
