The girl just stared at the ceiling in defeat.
"And dad has no idea where I am..."
"Your dad? We can tell him."
"We don't live where you do. My tribe lives where fire can in the ice cold."
Laval knew what she meant. The Tundra. Only someone of fire could survive there if not one with ice. But questions about this pretty bird, still filled his mind.
"So, what tribe are you?"
"Phoenix. But I'm a mix of three birds."
"Three?" Laval said in awe. Looking her up and down. He clearly saw Raven and Eagle. But what was so amazing was she could extinguish her body's flames and restart then whenever.
"So, what should we call your kind of bird? Or is there already a name?"
"Like Ravens and Eagles, Reagle. But for me, Reagix. In my home, hybrids are honored. They can do things we cant."
"Like Reagle when he made fake Chi..."
"What?"
"There's a Reagle here in Chima, and he was apparently very smart. He hasn't done it again, but made fake Chi. Made everyone act like chickens."
Phi giggled. You don't hear about that every day. After a while Phi was given food and was questioned on who chased her.
"Saber-Tooth's?" Long-Tooth asked.
Phi said she was chased by Saber-Tooth cats. No Lion knew what to think.
They thought they were the only cats in Chima, but not anymore apparently.
