Phinx had awoken to a new morning. The sun exhilarating beams of red and yellow to a pitch black canvas. Birds chirping while the wind blew gently upon his face. Days like these always made the Phoenix empire seem to be a paradise. Unfortunately, Phinx had already known the true nature of the empire. He knew that a change needed to occur. He knew that his people were held into captivity in many aspects. He knew he needed to be the change and he knew who was going to bring that change…
Phinx then prepared to clean up camp, ready to set off for their next adventure.
"Are you ready Phinx?" Asked Commander Salem.
When Phinx heard what Commander Salem said he knew he was just asking if he was ready for the trip, but it felt as if the Commander was truly asking if he was ready for the challenges that lay ahead…
"Yes, but where are we heading to?"
"To the next town… Natori."
Natori, one of the only towns still filled with hope for a brighter future, A place of solitude, a place of prosperity and also a long walk from Agnix…
"We better get a move on then." Replied Phinx.
"Yes, I'm afraid so." Said the commander while laughing.
A few minutes later they were ready to set off on their journey and were about to leave when they heard footsteps approach.
"It's seems you made it, Miss Solaina." Said Phinx
"where are we off to?"
"Natori." Replied the Commander.
"Oh is it." Said Solaina.
"Why though?"
"To save our people from the grips of fear."
"How though?"
"By facing them head on." Replied the commander.
Ironically the legion's minions had come into sight. At that, both Solaina and Phinx looked at the commander like they were ready to shake him.
While that occurred, the minions had finally spotted them and decided to make their lives miserable.
"Hey you three, stop!" Said one of them.
As they said this the three companions stopped. The minions then approached them.
"Where y'all headed!?" Said one of the minions
"Natori." Replied Phinx
"Is that so?" Said one of them.
"Well unfortunately we must cut your journey."
"Why so?" asked Solaina.
"Well apparently you assaulted one of our members." Said one with a mocking smile
"We did no such thing!" Said Phinx who was angered by their lies.
"Now, now we will let you off, if for a small price." Said the man while looking at the Commander's Sword.
"No!" Replied Solaina.
"Very well, get em!" Said one of them
10 men then surrounded the three of them, ready to attack at any moment.
"Phinx, protect Solaina!" Said the Commander.
Phinx then grabbed Solaina, ready to guard her from any attacks.
Commander Salem then prepared to fight, by unsheathing his sword. The commander's sword became blue and white as if it was flowing with energy. Then the commander leapt into the air and followed with a crash, which sent the minions flying in every direction. Fortunately Phinx and Solaina were safe, it seemed the energy that was building up in the sword was leaked to the ground on which the enemies were standing.
"Let's go before they wake up!" Said the Commander
The three ran as if there was no tomorrow.
