The Black Phoenix
Chapter 1. The Figure in Black.
SY 460.
In a forest near the city of Gregminster, there was a group of people who were beaten up by a figure with a black cloak. Almost all of them laid on the ground unconsciously, except one who seemed to be the leader. The figure slammed the leader to a tree and pointed a rod in front of his face. The figure began to speak, which told the leader that his attacker was a male.
"Where is the rune?" The figure growled. "I heard that you have it."
"I won't give it." The leader spat.
"Is that so?" The figure said. "If you're not going to cooperate I should just kill you."
The leader saw a pair of golden eyes gleam maniacally under the cloak, which frightened him.
"No, no, don't kill me. I will give it." The leader relented.
The leader took out something from his pocket and gave it to the figure. The figure took it from him and examined it and hid it inside his cloak.
The figure looked at the scared leader. "Who gave it to you?"
"It was a blond man with black armour." The leader answered.
The figure clenched his fists. "Damn him." Then he just walked away.
The leader sighed in relief and watched the figure. "Why are you doing this?"
The figure stopped and turned to the leader. "I am looking for a stolen treasure and the person who stole it."
"Who are you?"
"I am called the Black Phoenix." Then the figure disappeared.
In a bar, the figure with black cloak entered it and sat in front of the bartender. The bartender looked at the figure with wary eyes.
"Give me some wines, please." The figure said.
The bartender gave him his order.
"By the way, do you heard about a strange rune lately?" The figure asked.
The bartender raised his eyebrows. "No, sir."
"That's too bad." The figure said.
"What do you want with a rune anyway? Do you work for Harmonia?" The figure turned to his left and saw a girl with red hair.
"I work for myself. "
"Oh, I see. You know, I know this guy. He hates Harmonia so much that I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to start a war with them." The figure listened to her since he did not have anything better to do.
"I tried to stop him from leaving and told him to forget about his hatred with them, but he never listens to me. That was 3 years ago. And just recently, I went to Dunan after that war because I heard he was there, but when I arrived he already left. I was so heartbroken. Why can't he just stay with me?" The girl was starting to cry. The figure could see that she was drunk.
The girl fell asleep there while crying. The bartender shook her body.
"Miss Charlotte, you need to go home, we're going to close." The bartender said.
The figure sighed. "Where does she live? I'll take her home."
The bartender looked at him warily, but decided to listen to him then told him her address.
The figure picked her up and carried her on his back. He left the bar after paying the wines and went to the girl's house. When the figure arrived in front of her house, the figure opened the door, which was not locked and entered the house. The figure entered a room that might be her bedroom and put her down on the bed.
The figure sighed while sitting on the floor against the bed.
"Why am I doing this? So much trouble." He mumbled.
The girl suddenly hugged him from behind. "Don't leave me, please."
"Please, let me go. You're drunk."
The girl pulled him into her bed and hugged him tightly. The girl was surprisingly strong. She took off his cloak and looked at his golden eyes.
She cooed. "You have such pretty eyes and pretty face just like my Luc."
She kissed him abruptly, which surprised him. He tried to pull away, but he realized he could not move.
"What! Why can't I move?" He saw her giggled.
He widened his eyes. "Did you paralyze me?"
The girl smiled seductively. "Don't worry we will have a good time?"
"Damn it, why did I let my guard down?" The girl proceeded to take off his clothes.
The figure could not do anything or fight back, so he gave up and let her had her way until he could move again.
An hour later, he finally could move again, but the deed was already done. He put back his clothes and looked at the naked girl. He put a blanket over her body and sighed.
"What an embarrassment! Getting raped by a drunken girl." He mumbled in exasperated.
"I never thought my first time will be with a stranger. And she might not even remember it." He said in annoyance.
He looked around the room and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. He wrote something on it, then left it on the nightstand. He then left the room and the house. He looked back at the house and left the city without looking back.
I was called the Black Phoenix because I always wore a black cloak and have golden eyes like the eyes of an eagle or phoenix. I am a magician from a hidden village called the Void Village, which was named after the rune that we were tasked to protect.
5 years ago my village was destroyed by the Void Rune along with its people. I was the only survivor because I was in the village's temple which was quite far from the village. Since then, I left my village and my name behind to find the one responsible for my village destruction, and to find the Void Rune because it's my duty to protect it.
I followed any strange rumours in the hope it will lead me to my goals. Along the way, I got the name the Black Phoenix and I decided to use it as my new name instead.
At the time I didn't realize it. But my meeting with that girl will be a turning point in my life. This is the beginning of my story.
When morning came in the city of Gregminster, a scream could be heard from a house that housed a girl and her cats.
A girl with red hair looked at her naked body in horror. She looked around and saw that her clothes were lying around on the floor. She saw a piece of paper in the nightstand. She grabbed it hurriedly and read the content.
'I hope we don't have to meet again
The Black Phoenix'
"What happened last night?" She shouted.
A figure with black cloak entered a rune shop and greeted the runemaster.
"Good morning, Lady Jeane."
"Oh, good morning to you too, Phoenix." Jeane smiled seductively.
Phoenix shivered remembering last night.
"What do you need this fine morning?" Jeane asked.
Phoenix took out the rune he got yesterday and showed it to her.
"I want you to attach this rune on me."
"What is this rune?"
"Lady Jeane, I already told you about my goals, aren't I?" Phoenix said.
"Yes, you have. So, why did you need this rune?"
"My village was destroyed because this rune was stolen, which made the Void Rune gone berserk. The culprit then stole the Void Rune too." Phoenix explained. "This rune, The Black Hole Rune is the child rune of the Void Rune, the only rune that can control the Void Rune. If this rune is here, then the Void Rune is left somewhere else uncontrolled. I need this rune to control the Void Rune. Then, I can finally accomplish my other goal of destroying the world."
Phoenix grinned maniacally while talking about his other goal.
Jeane giggled. "I couldn't help but think that you aren't serious with that last goal, my dear Phoenix."
"Just you see, Lady Jeane, after all the helps you gave me. I will prepare the best seat for you to see the show." Phoenix said arrogantly.
"Sure, Phoenix dear."
"Don't call me, that!"
