Ivy
It's nighttime. The stars and the moon are silent witnesses to the strange and mystic transformations that are about to take place inside me.
Okay, maybe I am exaggerating a bit. I am not about to be transformed. All I am doing is learning how to control my powers with the help of Phoenix.
Phoenix is leading me toward a temple-looking house while Ryder follows us closely. He has a grumpy expression on his face as he doesn't like this arrangement.
"What is this place?" I ask as I stare at the gold-plated ceilings in amazement.
"My house," Phoenix says.
"Wow, it's gorgeous!"
Ryder scoffs behind me. "I've seen better."
Phoenix ignores him and gives me a knowing look. He motions me to walk toward an altar. He opens a small box and takes out a crystal necklace, and hands it to me.
