PHOENIX: WAR AND LOVE

THE MEETING

CHAPTER 2

She wasn’t any simple maiden; he could say that by the way her sword swung. She was wearing the black attire, the armor of the black army. Her eyes held an immense amount of darkness and power. Her body was perfect, right curves at the right place. She was more muscular than any of the maidens he has seen in his life. He observed her every feature as she started attacking her enemies. She was surrounded by men looking like vultures about to devour a fantastic meal. She bent low and touched the ground and let out a small prayer. And rest was chaos. The prince of light stood awestruck. Within five strokes, all her enemies had their bodies drowning in blood. All of them were lifeless.

“Nobody harms the children of darkness”, she said with power roaring in her deep voice.

She turned to face the women who were as astonished as he was. She smiled at them.

He couldn’t help but let a small moan out of his lips as he watched her smile. Suddenly he felt breathless. He couldn’t move, he just sat there looking at her, smiling like an i***t to himself.

Suddenly there was another sound. But this sound was something with more power. The sound made him to come out of his hiding, making the women to scream again.

“Don’t worry. I am not here to harm you, but to help you. Believe me.”

“Who are you?” she asked with a commanding voice.

 Before he could answer, a large figure appeared before them, in front of them stood the great leader of the warriors of light.

“I see you have already made your way into our territory, even without notifying as beforehand.”- A sound behind them spoke, revealing the lord of darkness in his royal robe.

“I didn’t feel the need for it.”, the king of light spiked back.

The lord of darkness scoffed and said, “To whom was I thinking to teach manners, you? Anyway I see you have already met the pride of the dark world. Meet my daughter, phoenix. Daughter, this is the king of the light, accompanied by the warriors of light.”

The beauty moved her eyes from her father to the strong man in front of her.

“There was a legend, a powerful story. There was a dark night, when the whole nature whined and whimpered with pain. Darkness spread like venom in all the three worlds. All beings of the nature hid in their shells. Only the Almighty smiled as he created the miracle. A child was born on that dark infamous night. Once the universe heard the cry of that little infant, the whole nature erupted in joy. Flowers bloomed, clouds rained, all the beings felt a sense of happiness. Darkness didn’t look as beautiful as it was as that night. That child grew to become the god s greatest and powerful warrior in all the three worlds. That child was the goddess of rebirth. That child stands in front of me. I didn’t know she was such a beauty. Why didn’t I? After all she is the descendant of the warriors of light”- the leader of the warriors said with a spark of pride in his voice.

Phoenix bowed down to the great leader.

He raised his hand.

“You are not supposed to bow in front of anyone. No woman of the warriors is supposed to bow in front of others. I am disappointed by your father.” he said glancing at a fuming lord.

 “I beg your pardon, my lord, as no one has thought me my mother s culture.” Phoenix replied.

“Let us start learning the great culture from this moment.” saying this, king of light kneel down in front of the princess of darkness. The warriors of light followed their leader.

“Raise” she commanded.

“Meet the pride of the warriors, my son, the prince of light and the Sun god, Solis” he said.

And that was when her eyes met his. That was when he realized this meeting would be written in history.
