The Journey
Phoenix opened her green eyes in terror, scanning the horizon. Her heart was beating faster. Sweat beaded against her face. She had been hunting the gazer demon for the last couple of days, trying to find her parents. Ever-since she was born, she was alone. She always was. But she was getting closer to her parents. She knew it. The gazer demon threw an energy ball which she easily dodged. She trapped the demon using her five crystals.
"What do you know about my parents," Phoenix threatened as she held a crystal in one hand. The demon didn't say anything. She put the crystal back in place and it electrified the demon.
"Answer!" She yelled. The demon morphed into a human.
"I don't know who your parents are!" He yelled. Phoenix put the crystal down again. The demon yelled in pain.
"San Francisco!" The demon finally yelled. Phoenix let go of him.
"I don't think so," Phoenix said as the demon was about to shimmer out. She formed a fire ball in her hand.
"You really think you could get away, un-vanquished," she said as she threw it at the demon. The demon screamed in agony as it burst in flames. Phoenix gave a satisfying laugh as she headed to San Francisco.
"Train to San Francisco please," Phoenix said to the counter.
"Name?" The counter lady, who had lightning blonde hair and lipstick smeared in her teeth, said lazily.
"Phoenix Turner," She said confidently. The lady nodded as she gave Phoenix ticket.
As soon as Phoenix arrived at San Francisco, she rented a house. She had to have a room-mate. The room was right next to college and her room-mate should barely be there at all. She wanted to do much research about her parents as much as possible. It had been 21 years and she was so close.
