Chapter 1 part 1: Seraphina
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Hey! That's my toy!" I watch as the kid cries for her toy, being bullied by older kids. I stood up from the roof and walked away, I hate seeing such scenarios.
I walked towards the Grymkin's forest, my clan's forest, this is where my clan moved after someone had spread a hideous rumor about us, which is true. Our clan controls fire. The kingdom has given us the title of "Grymkin's Protector" when in fact we can burn this forest down into ashes.As soon as I set my foot on the village's gate, Gran, my childhood friend, came running to me. "Sera! The elder Fyre is looking for you." He said. He guided me towards the elder's house but while walking he kept telling about nonsense and when we were near the elder's house, I got irritated and said, "For the record Gran, you are the noisiest man I've ever met." and walked away, leaving him smiling, don't ask me why that's just how he is."Sera! Nice timing, the elder just sent me out to get you, she has--" I didn't bother to listen to the elder's assistant and cut her off, "Look, I wouldn't be here if I didn't know, dimwit." I said and again, walked away, and went inside the Elder Fyre's house.I am now standing in front of the door of the Elder's room. I knocked three times and as she gave the authority that I can come in, I went inside. Looking at her looking at me feels kind of weird. We both have these bright red eyes that look like are about to be on fire. She really looks like my mother."Come sit here Seraphina, my child." She said patting the space beside her. I went closer and sat beside her and as I sat, she held my hand and started to look straight into my eyes, which creeps me off, well, kind of."Seraphina Agni, my child, my granddaughter, the fated child of Ignatius and Tana, I have dreamt of you." As she spoke, her hand that was holding mine, started to squeeze it hard. She's strong for an old lady, I must say."My child, who has inherited the fire-like eyes of the Goddess of fire, you will meet eyes with the darkest of green that will take you to nature, eyes with the darkest of blue that will take you to the deepest part of the ocean, eyes with the lightest shade of blue that shall refresh your soul, you are bound to have a journey full of hate, love, happiness, and sadness. Seraphina, remember this, you are the fated child of a God and was given to us. You who will end the misery of our clan, after thousands of years. They finally gave you to us." She said.I don't know how and what to react to this.After my dead response, she sent me back home. My thoughts were filled with questions starting with "what is our clan's misery, to begin with?"Related chapters
Phoenix Cry Chapter 2 part 1: The Cry
"Seraphina Agni, save our clan and come back safe. We need you, before our clan disappears, please, save the phoenix from crying..." My father said and dragged me with the book, outside our house and went to grandmama's, the Elder Fyre, and just barged in. "Elder Fyre, may you grant the great mission that I, the chief of our clan, has given to my daughter, Seraphina Agni." Said my father who knelt down instantly seeing my grandmama, my Mother's mother. Confused about what is going on, I am still processing what my father has said. I saw Grandmama saying something but I couldn't hear it. I was only staring at them until I heard a loud cry of a bird. I was startled and started to look around, but the only thing that I noticed is that everyone was just talking, it's like they didn't hear the cry. "Didn't you guys, hear the cry?" I asked curiously. I swear, I heard it. They all looked at me then look at each other. "Mother, you were right. Phina can hear the cry." My mother said to gr
Phoenix Cry Chapter 3 part 1: The Beginning
Walking and following the guide that the book gave me surely is convenient. I know this forest better than anyone else in the village as I have explores this forest of ours for the past 10 years. This trail that I am taking is familiar, I looked at the familiar tree next to me. I smiled, memories of me sleeping and hiding from my Grandpapa flashed in my mind. I continued to walk towards the northern part of the forest, which I know will lead me to a beach. I got tired of walking, and I know that there is no much time left before a strong rain falls down the surface. I picked up my pace and began to run towards the beach. I should be able to take shelter in an abandoned beach house. I was nearing my way to the beach when I felt droplets of rain on my face. Oh no, the rain! I created a barrier surrounding me to protect me from the rain. I ran faster towards the beach. Greeting me was the huge waves hitting the shore. I regret not packing an umbrella. I ran towards the small abandone

I went near Zale as I was getting kind of seasick. The fishy smell of the ocean gets my nose sensitive. But the breeze helps me to calm down."Hey, you okay?" Zale asked me as he puts my cloak back on my body. I smiled at him and he just stared at me and looked away. I kind of pouted in my mind because he doesn't need to act cold around me. I just stared at the wide and carefree ocean, with its calm waves hitting the boat.I laughed because I kept saying boat, when in fact that it's a ship. We are going north, where mountains have risen and stood high. I wonder why the books want us to go there?"That is because..." as I heard grandpapa and Zale's mother spoke, I jumped in surprise. I wasn't expecting grandpapa nor Zale's mother to show up. "I am sorry my darling Zale, it seemed like that I, too surprised you". said Zale's mother."Because of what? Grandpapa?" I asked. I was g
Phoenix Cry Chapter 5: My Mother
It was raining hard, yet we continued our trekking. "Are you really sure that you are okay with trekking in this kind of weather?" Zale asked for the nth time, I stopped walking and looked at him, his eyes looked worried."Honestly Zale, for the nth time, I am okay with water, it doesn't weaken me, don't ask how, I don't know either," I said reassuring him. He nodded, still he looks worried. We resumed walking, I slowed my pace because of the terrain, it was muddy and slippery, and it wasn't a good sign. The rain poured harder than earlier, but as it got harder, I got irritated. I put up a small barrier that could shield us from the rain, now, why didn't I thought of this earlier? The rain evaporated as it closes contact with the barrier as I set the temperature of my fire high enough to make the droplets evaporated,"Why didn't you thought of this earlier?" Zale asked and looked at the

Days have passed, and I am still on this stupid bed. I turn to Zale who was peeling apples, he noticed that I was looking at him so he also looked at me."It's almost peeled, wait a sec."He said, I looked at his hands that has several cuts because of the knife."Pass me the apples, no need to peel them."He looked at me worriedly and so I sighed and smiled. He looked at the apple, which is half-peeled before he passed it to me and so I ate it. I looked outside and saw the vast water greeting the land."Looks like the storm has subsided?" I asked and he replied yes. I want to carry on with our journey.I looked at the blue-haired Zale and he was packing our things. So am I being discharged? He looked at me and smiled. I stood up and my long hair was swayed by the strong wind. I saw the red strands and just looked at them. My hair color changed after I saw my mother who has Bright red hai
Phoenix Cry Chapter 7: Neven
Zephyrine Heaven, even her name sounds so kind and calming. Wait...her name sounds familiar, I know I have heard it somewhere. I looked at Zale who is looking confused as I am. "Her name is Zephyrine?" I asked once more, the kids just nodded as their response. Zeph--- Ah! She's the one in my dreams. I sat down beside Zale who is thinking about something. "We need to plan now." He suddenly blurted out. Right, a plan...but what kind of plan? "Does anybody knows what the captain looks like or his mansion's passageways?" He asked, the kid who looks older than the girl raised his hand. "What are your names by the way?" I asked. I kept saying kid this, kid that, we literally are inside their house, why not ask for their names right? "I'm Kareela, a friend of theirs." Said the girl, "I'm Boreas, the oldest." said the one who offered us a place to stay. "I'm Notus, and I work in the captain's mansion as a servant." Great! Now I can call them by name. "So Notus, I know this will be like t
Phoenix Cry Chapter 8: What is the Reason?
I woke up sweating, this kind of feeling is the feeling I hate the most. I scanned the place, where am I? I stood up and had the urge to run but my knees are being jelly. It's hot in here, it feels like hell. "Welcome chosen heir of the fire." A voice said in my head. I don't like the feeling of this. "Where am I?" I asked. My head is aching. I don't feel so good, why am I being like this? "Thy have summoned thee's spirit in this realm of mine." now that I have scanned the whole place, this is a temple… I remember having a conversation with Zale and the others, suddenly heard the cry and now I'm here, weird. Something is quite bothering me. "Kill them! Kill those who dared to hurt the--" I didn't let the voice end its sentence as it is quite irritating. A spirit of vengeance has no right to communicate with an heir. My condition started to be at ease. "How bold of you to assume I'll listen to you," I said and crossed my arms, wearing only my poker face. I have thought of this, no wa
Phoenix Cry Chapter 1 part 2: Seraphina
As I entered my lifeless house, I said, "I am home..." Oh no! My parents aren't dead, they were sent for a mission, ordered by the kingdom, a mission worth a week. I went up to my room and tossed myself to the bed and buried my face in my fluffy pillow. "What the heck was that?" I shouted in frustration. I am what? The child of who? The Gods? And what the heck is our clan's misery? My goodness! I stood up and went straight to our house's mini-library. As my father is the chief of the village, this is quite normal for us to have such a mini-library in our house. When I got there, a lock was what greeted me. I smirked because father knows that I can easily open this by simply melting the lock. Which is what I did and I got in without a single drop of sweat. I searched for a book, and as far as I know, all books of origin have a peculiar design such as a fancy, weird design. As I was searching for the book, something fell from the shelf. Scared I was, I went closer to the thing

Phoenix Cry Chapter 3 part 2: The Beginning
Guess what? I am once again dreaming. "Sera." A male voice called me. His face is blurred but I can see his eyes clearly, it's like it's taking me to the deepest part of the ocean. "Come here. It's about to rain, we need to find shelter." He said, and 'I' nodded. Who is he? "Oh no, the soil, it's starting to mush." I am guessing that this is my brother, Vermont. "Lady Sera, the wind is blowing hard towards us. The heavens are also bothered by the wind." Said Zeph, since I still don't know her name. "There will be a typhoon, I hope the village is okay, this will be a strong one". I said and looked up to the sky. We took shelter somewhere near a big oak tree. With thunders roaring, I held the shirt of the guy next to me, Zale. "Sister, are you okay? You look pale." Vermont asked me while Zeph is clutching onto him. "I--" ________________ I woke up when a loud thunder roared across the sky. Zale, Zeph, Vermont. I stared in space, didn't know how many minutes have pas
Phoenix Cry Chapter 2 part 2: The cry
I opened my eyes and looked around. I am certainly not in my room. "Hurry up Sera!" As I heard my name I saw a man running towards the 'me' in the scenario. "Get down sister! Zeph!" A man younger than me shouted and the two of them, the other guy, the one who shouted my name, and the one who called me sister released water and earth in the shape of a dragon. "Zeph, listen to me" 'I' said as I stared at her blurred face but her eyes are clear, "I want you to fly to them. I will handle this. Please, I can't let anyone of you get hurt because of me." 'I' said and she just looked at me straight into the eyes, telling me to be safe. "Please be safe Lady Sera, or else Sir Zale and Vermont will be the end of me." 'I' smiled at her and then pushed her away from 'me'. A ball of thunder came to me and hit me directly. If this is the future, I can't let this happen. ______________ I woke up and sat on my bed. As I stared at the book once again, I felt my tears ran down my cheeks. Why
