Hey, guys, sorry for not updating in an eternity, but life kept me busy, I'm learning to write books, stories, movie scripts, and I'm also learning acting. But anyways, now I'm back and ready to take the KFP community by storm!

Flammes of the heart

Two days have passed by since the departure of the New Legend. The group installed a campement in the forest on the other side of the valley.

While the leader of the team, Toka the snow leopard, was taking care of lighting up a fire, to protect them from the night's cold, Koji the beetle was making the tents with Alena the black panther. Suya the snowy owl was making the meal and Neyo the hedgehog was geographically locating their position with a compass.

"Is the dinner ready soon, Suya? I'm dying of hunger!" Koji said with finishing setting up one of the seven tents for them and their future comrades.

"Yes: I'm done cutting the vegetables." She said with bringing bowls of salades with vegetables that she gave to everyone of her friends around the campfire.

"I checked our position and I'd say we can start searching for our new pals tomorrow." Affirmed Neyo with eating his salade.

"Speaking of which, what does Master Oogway's scroll says about the first one we shall find?" Koji asked while biting a radish.

Toka took the scroll and putted his salade bowl down before reading it: "Stranger she is to everyone, she can burn while on the run, her heart is greatly pure, of her friendship and loyalty you can be sure."

"That's poesy, but not very precise." Alena remarked.

The group continued eating their meal in silence.

"Okay, we should go to sleep. Tomorrow, I'll go search to this person in question while you'll learn new techniques with the scrolls." Said the young snow leopard.

They all agreed and went to sleep into their tent.

The next morning

Toka was walking alone in the forest after leaving the camp. The scroll was not telling precisely where to find the people, but Master Oogway was telling that he'll know when the good ones will be there.

He kept walking until something caught his attention: in the sky was flying a kind of fire bird.

Intrigued, he decided to follow it by running across the forest.

After a while, he stopped to see the bird land on a kind of nest on top of a tree. He hesitated for a second before climbing up the tree with his feline instincts. Once up there, he hidden behind a branch to identify the bird in question.

Apparently, it was a female all orange with some red on her wings. Her hair where on fire and her talons were black and as for her clothes, she was wearing a black tunic.

Toka decided to approach friendly. "Huh, hello there."

The bird girl turned around and looked surprised. "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Woah! Woah, calm down. I'm not gonna hurt you."

She calmed down a bit.

"I just wanna know which kind of bird are you."

"I-I'm a phoenix." She answered.

Toka looked in surprise and confusion. "A phoenix? I though these creatures were only legends."

She shook her head. "Nope; we're hard to find, but not inexistant."

The leopard nodded. "The name's Toka."

"And I'm Yume." She said as they shook hand and wing. "So what are you doing here, Toka? You live around?"

He shook his head. "I'm from the Valley of Peace. My friends and I are Kung Fu students sent here to in hopes of finding some people to join-"

He stopped a moment to look at Yume. "Wait a minute! Could it be..."

He remembered what Oogway's scroll said: Stranger she is to everyone, she can burn while on the run, her heart is greatly pure, of her friendship and loyalty you can be sure

Yume looked at him curiously. "Huh, are you okay, Toka?"

He understood that Yume had to be the one Oogway was talking about. He was sure about it.

"Yume, you must come with me: you are one of the persons Master Oogway told us to recrute into the New Legend."

The phoenix girl looked curiously. "Master Oogway? The creator of Kung Fu? But isn't he dead?"

"He sent us a message from the afterlife! You must come with us: we're gonna teach you Kung Fu!"

She looked at the ground for a moment before looking back at him with a confident smile. "It's okay, I follow you."

Toka smiled before getting down the tree and heading back to the camp with the phoenix following him closely in the sky.

After a while, they reached the camp where the others were training.

"Hey guys!" Toka called.

They all stopped training and joined their friend.

"Allow me to introduce to you the first new member: Yume."

She flew down to greet the group that was surprised to see a true phoenix. However, they calmed after Toka told them everything.

"Welcome into the band, pretty." Koji said with giving her his hand.

She smiled before shaking it...

Sorry it was so short. But I hope you're still glad I'm back :)
