FLAMES OF LOVE, PHOENIX TOUCH.

6,000 years

Oduma's pov

I was sitting under a beautiful apple tree with lots of thought in my head, it worries me that I can't perform any magic like the other fairies do,

i'm 6,000 years old and am not the youngest but the weakest, I never knew how it feels to will your power,

it hurt a lot and I was deep in thought when

Rima (she is the supreme guidance of the realm) came to meet me under the tree, you are lost in thought again she ask,

I couldn't hear her and she came closer and tap me to pull me out of my thoughts; mother am sorry "I didn't hear you coming" I said in an apologetic tone

Are you thinking again? she asked,

"yes mother Rima I answered;

I saw sadness clouding her beautiful face, I couldn't explain why she always feel sad for me, am sorry I apologize to her,

I will not be lost in thought again I promised her,

I don't break a promise but am not sure if I would keep to this promise, deep down in me, am not the one controlling my thoughts, I fine myself being drawn to it due to my weakness and no one in the realm cares about it, no one bullies me there all love me and treat me like their child,

I don't know who my real parents are but it never bother me,

I stood up and hold her hands in mine, mother I want to be like other fairies too,

I walked her to my domain, she wasn't feeling happy and said I'm not here to scold you from thinking but you just need to keep cultivating and your power will increase with time. she said,

it's so kind of her to use calm words on me today,

I felt peace and comfort from her words, thank you mother I said.

I have things to do I only needed to see you she said and left.

Not quite long my friend Lara came to me, we are of the same age but she is more powerful than I am,

am not jealous of her, I do wish to be as powerful as mother Rima who is the supreme guidance of our realm.

Let's go for cultivation Lara said, trying to pull me towards the exit, am not in the mood to cultivate today I said,

I saw her mood change as the bright smile on her face turn dark as she was feeling sorry and depressed for me,

I felt sad and self pity because I was hurting her with my words, i'm so sorry my friend I said trying to let go of my thoughts and forcing smile out on my face to lighten her up,

She smiled back genuinely, she move closer to me and pull me to go sit with her on the bench that is under the tree,

picking up a fallen leaf, she call out my name and it sound sweet,

"Odu....ma" am your best friend, you can confined in me, I will never be mad at you, she said,

I was dumbfounded, confused and don't know what to say but I had to tell her the truth; is really not something serious, am just tried of cultivating without my power growing, I have been cultivating for the past 5700years without visible results,

I feel lost in this realm; I said, pouring out my fear, sadness, bitterness and pains to her,

I couldn't hold back my tears as I fight so hard to hold it back,

I quickly wipe my tears with the back of my palm and look straight into her eyes to know what she feels about me, I saw cold dark cloud forming in her eyes then she withdrawal in her eyes from mine and I felt worse than I was,

I pull my eyes from her and she try to comfort me with her words as usual but she couldn't find any, she pull me into her arms to comfort me,

I rest my head on her shoulder and I felt her fingers in my hair for several minutes and finally got a word to say, am sorry she said."

I need to go before Supreme Mother punish me for coming late.

okay my friend I said...

AKWU'S POV

It's being 995 years since I came into the Phoenix temple of Flame for cultivation, which will make me the God of Phoenix Fire after 1,000years of constant nor stop cultivation,

a lot has happened I said to myself,

I needed to concentrate on my cultivation and pull through to the end,

I could feel the heat is getting hotter and difficult as each year counts, my father, the heavenly emperor and my mother, the heavenly empress always come around to see how I was coping,

my father is the dragon and has gone through the process of taking the flame to make him take the dragon Flame,

my mother is an eagle and has also gone through the process before becoming the goddess then an empress,

I do hear their voice cos my five sense organs were quicken after my first 100 years in the Flame,

I could hear, words from thousands miles, see things clearly from thousands miles and feel thought from thousands miles.

I think that was my special gift cos nor of my parents nor any other gods could do that, although every gods and goddesses has there own special power, even those from air, water, earth, fire and light can't possess the all five organs activated,

Father has the ability to back date and fast forward time,

Mother has the special ability of easing memories,

my brother has the ability of seeing through your mind and manipulating your thoughts,

I guess this was for a purpose, I was happy and feel super great.

My half brother (god of night and in charger of dream dragon), do come around to check on me from time to time,

thou we can't communicate and he won't come closer because he was made from water, my magical power will drain his power if the stay too close the the Flame.

His mother is from the waters and the goddess of snow,

thou we are of different made but we are still brothers and I love him so much, always stood in for me,

we always protect each other from harm and has each other's back.

it less than 5years to leave the flame,

my ability to hear, see, feel, touch and taste also increase tremendously,

I suddenly started seeing a female structure that is blur due to distance,

I don't know why I feel her fear, her pain, her tears is burning me, I can only see her from afar, I can't see her face clearly, she is calling me for help,

I can't wait to run to her and help her, I really need to see her face, I concentrate all my energy to see her face,

I walk towards her but the more I was draw closer to her the more she seems far from me,

I am confuse, all I wanted to do was to get closer to her, wipe her tears, ask her what her fear was and comfort her,

I feel desperate as time progresses, getting close to her is the only thought on my mind now, the sound of her cry makes my heart to ache,

I can't stand it any more, I really have to push forward to hold her hands, yes I will,

I concentrate more on my cultivation to be able to see her clear,

As days goes by and years move closer to my final face of the Phoenix Flame, I began to see her clearer, while trying to get through to her I was restrain by the limit the Flame,

On the night of my 1,000 years in the flame, I could not longer stop myself from seeking to meet her, I broke through the limit of the Flame and I found myself flying and burning with my own fire with a very mighty sound at the speed of light because my years wasn't complete.

I spent 999 years 11months, 29 days in the flame and I was pulled out by her pain, fear.....

while burning I could feel myself flying and I landed in another realm, breaking through barriers of water,

I felt it cold movement on my feathers which help to put off the outer fire not the pain I was going through internally, my cultivation was one day left to complete,

I couldn't endure her pain I was locked in my burnt phoenix body and it was really painful for the one day that was left to complete my cultivation.

I was in pain but felt she was closer to me, I could feel her presence but I didn't have enough power to pull myself out of my phoenix body..

"it hurt and for the first time I had self pity on myself."
