Gifts of the Living Phoenix

“Wait, am I dying?” Faith said in alarm looking at the twins holding her hands?

“Uh, no? Why would you think that?!” Melody said a little perplexed.

“You guys are all here acting somber and it’s leading me to believe something bad is going to happen,” Faith said examining the two hands that were clutching hers.

Melody rolled her eyes. “The twins are just anxious for you, but you’re not dying. Sheesh!”

“Ok… so what’s going on? Why am I feeling so hot and sick?”

Melody proceeded to talk.

There is a story that says after a thousand frozen years, a special creature will be born to the first born of a special elf who will have the gifts of the Living Phoenix and rise from the ashes. She will have immense power to give warmth to those who seek it and rebirth the world as was before. She is said to be the first born, of a first born son who’s silver eyes and hair will charm all to do her bidding.

The Living Phoenix

“Born of grace, to find her place,

this first born girl of a first born son

will change the world and bring us peace.

To this one will be wed the two,

All to rule from the top to view,

She can choose her gifts to cease…”

Melody’s voice trailed off as she stopped reading. Faith looked up at her as if questioning her ability to read.

“HUH? That’s it? It doesn’t sound like the whole prophecy, does it?” Faith questioned confused.

“Um, might I point out a flaw though?” sighed Faith. “I’m not the first born to a first born son. I’m the daughter of a second born son.”

“Yeah well, the prophecy wasn’t perfect,” Melody snickered.
