FLAMES OF LOVE, PHOENIX TOUCH.

Is Her

Akwu's POV

I landed so hard into the ground,

uh....uh! it hurt to so much that knocked me out of myself for some minutes.

I woke up when I felt the cold sensation of water on my skin,

"Oh no no, am fire, I don't like water" water drain my power and weaken me,

I past out the second time.

it was really painful to be retreated like that, am still working on my new power, I have no idea what to do to return to my human body.

I stayed in my Phoenix body for the gods know how long.

I woke up in my Phoenix body again, how long have I slept in this body? it was dark and no air, I was suffocating, but couldn't but think about what might be happening at the heavenly realm, where am I?

Is this part of my training? it was depressing not having any idea what is happening around you, have I lost all my gift?

I couldn't hear, see or even feel anything anymore,

Suddenly, I heard a voice, the voice sound familiar, Oh I have heard this voice before, who is she? I was in a hurry to see her,

"it's her voice,"

I said to myself.

Is her... Oh yes,

I felt relieved knowing am at her place, she opened the box and removed me from it, she place me on the ground, she was really happy to see my feather has grown.

I desire to remain in the Phoenix body to stay with her for few more days, more importantly,

I desire to see her.

My Phoenix eyes are closed.

she raised me up in her hand to a higher height, trying to feel my breath, I wish I could get closer to her lips at that point I was lost in her scent, rose mixed with grape... she has the best mixed scent,

it's special, I was lost in it,

she place me back on the ground, "it's weak"

she said, with her hands running through my feather,

I was surprised to hear her refer me to it, did she just refer to me as it?

oh! I forgot, am still in my

"Phoenix body."

it's needs food she said, "I can even plant any fruit by myself", she complained,

soon I felt her hand opening up my peaks and dropping so honey in my mouth, I swallow with all pleasure, knowing my first food after completing my cultivation was from her.. I was really happy, but I can't explain why I was happy,

Is not in my nature to easily relate with people but for her I can do anything to stay with her,

Few minutes later I felt my power building up themselves in me,

I try my best to stabilize my power in other not to scare her because I was totally vibrating on the ground.

She try to hold me down to the ground but she was scared,

I succeed after few minutes and stay calm, fighting to stay calm makes me breathless, she came close and touch me to know if am still alive, it not breathing,

she became speechless, trembling, her hand were freaking shaking, I could feel it, I suddenly realized I didn't lost my gift, why is my gift active to her?

"she blamed herself for giving me the honey,"

she says "she killed me", I was amazed at her childish and innocent words,

I was still battling to take total control of my power,

she says something very funny and scary at the same time,

"I won't waste this meat, I will prepare it, eat it, so you will be in me", she said.

I was touched by the part she says I will be in her but obviously not the kill, I want to be in her as well but not preparing and eating part,

She ran out of the room to go get cooking items she said,

Before she returns, I have taken total control of my power, being transformed to my human body,

She came jumping and running towards me, on sighting me,

she screamed like she want the whole world to collapse, all the things she was holding in her hands fell on the ground, she was obviously trembling in fear,

I could feel every fear in her, I felt sad to have scare her like that,

"wh.... who are you?"

she said in a shaking voice, I stood up, slowly turn towards her, she took few steps backward from her initial position.

On seeing my face, she started analyzing me and was lost in admiration,

I noticed a slight change on her face while holding her chest, I felt the pain as she stares into my eyes.

I wasn't left out, I was analyzing her too, I fell for her in one sight, she has a deep blue eyes like water in it, has a beautiful pointed nose, small lips, I have imagine how to mount my lips on hers, her hair is blow long fully relaxed on her back, perfect body structure, I stares deep into her eyes, I had to clear my throat to distract her because I was actually fantasizing how to hold her close in bed,

I couldn't stand her pain, she held her chest, she has the same structure with the image I saw in my vision while I was cultivating, the pain I felt is as the same with what I just felt, I was confuse what is the pain about, she pull herself out of her admiration trance and apologize,

"am sorry, am sorry" she said, I want to smile at her childish act but I need to be calm...

again she asked who I was...

I told her my name, she moved few steps forward, am Oduma, a grape fairy, she said bowing herself to greet me.

she looked at my confused face and held her chest again.

I try as much has possible not to make feel the pain again by ignore what I feel inside, I took my face away from her.

I asked her how many days I have spent in my Phoenix body, she says

"three days".

That was quite fast to pull back to my human body, considering I didn't finish my cultivation, I can't even imagine the havoc my sudden disappearance from the flame might have caused.

I have to go, I said to her....

she was busy explaining how I broken through the barriers, causing havoc and making her to lie to her supreme guardian.

Soon we heard a knock on the door, hide..... hide..... hide she said, turning around to look for a place for me to hide.

I just wipe my hands on my face and became invisible,

she ran to open the door for her supreme guardian.

she came in, she felt my presence but can't find me, my magical power is fast too strong than her's.

she asked her,

what happened to her, that she heard her scream and felt her fear.

I saw her freeze for some seconds and decide to lie to her supreme guardian again, she said, "she had a bad dream, in her dream a bird came to eat her up".

Fine, am a bird, am not ready to eat her up the way she is saying it, I feel what she feels that's all. I will want to protect her. I really want to eat her but she will stay by my side forever,

Her supreme guardian, assured her of her safety, "anyone that must to you must pass through me." she said.

I felt this inner peace hearing her say that, she must be important to her to risk her life protecting her" I thought to myself"

she wasn't feeling to secure because of my presence, she left in a hurry.

I heard her breath down heavily, She is gone she said.

I had to wipe up my hand to be visible to her.

she looked at me with much excitement in her, "can you take me out of here?

"I have being in this realm all my life, isolated from others, I want to see how the world outside this realm looks like" she said".

ln my heart I feel fulfilled, I can't express my joy, I'm happy for no reason, I have to withhold my joy inside of me, I looked at her then I proceed towards the door.

She ran after me like I own her, I feel so happy, I smiled to myself, I can't still explain it, I just like that.

we got outside, I looked at the barrier,

she explained how supreme guardian reinforced the strength of the barrier after I broken through to her domain.

I looked at her,

I asked her, are you sure you want to leave this place? her answered was "yes" with speed.

What will happen if your Supreme guardian come looking for you?

I don't know am not going forever, I just want to see the world out my domain and this realm is that too much to ask?

I won't go with you. I said to her,

all her excitement die in one second, I was bitter too, thou I want to know how much she can push for what she want,

I saved your life many time and you are indebted to me and you have to pay me! she said,

I was happy she has to push to much, okay I will pay you what I owe you, I said to her, I saw a glimpse of light showing up on her face,

She made me to understand that her realm is her place, she only want to see the realm outside hers with a low heavy voice.

I can't deny her, her wish,

I move closer to her with few steps,

I will protect you there I assured her.

she was filled with joy, that gives my heart peace. she wants to go on an adventure I say to myself.

I am happy she chose me to go with on this adventure of hers.

I understand her, I nod my head, weave my two fingers towards her, turn her into her soul and carried her in the sleeve of my dress.

I moved from the ground, passing through her barrier, I turned, reinforce it that her supreme guardian will not be able to penetrate it, I pass through the other barrier without breaking it, soon I was out of their realm.

Suddenly, I saw fairies after me, I inform her of some people coming after us, hold on tie, I said to her, I want to speed up, "okay" she responds, I sandle my speed and lost them in few minutes.

I slow down my speed, come view the way I told her, she was excited, she was pointing out lots of things I have never noticed before, it was exciting carrying her along, soon we were at the heavenly realm, I took her to my domain.

I told her I will be going to the heavenly palace to greet my parents, I will be back soon I said".

I left her there.
