Wow! I sure got lots of fans. *laughs out loud*
Yup! I sure do have a lot of fans begging me to write more. And thanks to them, I got back to work on this story. I especially want to thank Jammar, Leni and Leisha for begging me to write more! Alright... here goes! I hope this is as good as the last one. And yes sis, I will be more than glad to use adorable Phoenix.

The snow white owl blinked his yellow eyes as he sat there by the roof giving no single movement. Finally, giving one last hoot in the hot afternoon, of the present, the owl's wings sparkled like golden white pearls and was swallowed in the air. The owl teleported to the time gate and teleported himself to the past. As he stumbled back to the Moon Kingdom's palace's grounds, he tried to regain his balance on the ground. He stood staright, his broad shoulders tensed. He shook his head and mumbled, "How am I ever going to get the hang of transforming into an animal then back to a human?"

"Assuming from your mumbling, you must find it hard transforming and de-transforming to another creature," said a pleasant voice behind him. The young man turned around, who looked surprise to see the queen standing before him.

"My queen," he bowed down on his knees and took her hand to place a gentle kiss on it, "I have good news... and also bad news..."

The queen's expression on her face didn't reveal any changes, "Alright then! Let's hear the good news first."

"First of all your majesty, I have found the dear princess that you have longed to find. The bad news is, I think she lacks the training and will need more training than we expect. But the thing is, I don't know how we're going to find the right trainer and right traning place that is safe and unkown to evil."

"Don't you worry yourself Phoenix," Queen Serenity said softly. "I know a friend who is a mighty ruler herself and a feirce warrior queen! She might have some free time available to train Aurora and her future companions. I shall contact as soon as possible." Then the conversation ended between the two and the queen departed as silent as she appeared.

Phonix watched the queen disappear from the grounds. Turning away, he headed his way towards the front doors of the palace. As he entered the palace, his footstpes were echoed between the ceiling, and the well-polished marble foors. He looked at the white marble foor and examined his reflection. He has never ever remembered the palace's floors dirty. As he walked on, he was unaware of a small figure walking towards him.

"Phoenix!" a voice exclaimed.

Phoenix, startled by the loud voice turned around, his shoulders still tensed, only to find the Queen's daughter, the Moon Princess, Serena looking cheerful as ever. "Hello, princess. How was your day?"

"Oh...ok!" Serena answered fiddling with her long odangos, "Phoenix..."she began with a sweet, innocent voice, "Why are you so serious and tense for? I mean! Can you just lighten up and get a girl?" Phoenix surged with anger but he knew better than to scream at the princess. Instead he took a deep breath and turned away. "You can't just ignore me like that Phoenix! Never ever turn your back to your future queen!" Phoenix had to silently laugh at that. It was true Serena is going to be queen but not for a long time... not until this whole chaos is done and dealed with... the right way.
