…the girl started to sob, tears were starting to build up "I though you were dead" She continued to say hugging Chase with all her might. Chase was confused, dead! What was she on about?
"What do you mean dead? What are you on about, I don't even know you!" Chase said gently pushing her away.
"You don't remember me?" the girl started to cry. "It's me Aura, don't you remember me Phoenix?"
"Who's Phoenix?..."
The girl started to shake uncontrollably, tears pouring from her face.
"You… your …Phoenix…my…b…" she couldn't finish the sentence, she was too upset.
"I'm what …" Chase gently said trying to get the information out as it may unlock his memories.
"My …" but it was more than she could cope, she fainted. Chase wrapped the cover round her as she was still shaking despite the fact that she had fainted. Chase called Guan to look after her and headed towards the library. Who was Phoenix? The girl (or Aura as she said she was called) believed that he was someone called Phoenix. 'She must be confused' Chase thought as he opened the library door. Interested with this 'Phoenix' Chase flicked through the pages of the many books surrounding him, having no luck; he tried to find any information in all the ancient scrolls on the top shelves.
It was past midnight and Chase was still looking in the library, the candles had almost burnt out and the rest of the temple had long gone to sleep. Frustrated that he couldn't find anything he threw the scrolls aside, it went dark and a voice echoed around the room.
"Having a spot of bother?" came a voice from the darkness. Chase recognised the voice at once.
"Show yourself Bean!" Chase shouted. Hannibal stepped from the shadows, with an evil smirk on his face. "What is your purpose here?!" Chase continued to say.
"You're not going to find it." Hannibal said, not answering Chase's question.
"What… I asked you a question, answer it!" Chase growled
"And I said you're not going to find it!" Bean snarled
"Find what?"
"Information about Phoenix." Hannibal said bluntly
"How did you know what I was looking for" Chase said with a surprised expression on his face.
"I have my sources …"
"You were spying on me weren't you?"
"I SAID I have my sources" Hannibal snapped glaring at Chase. Chase glared back and it was silent for 5 minutes, then Chase interrupted the silence by saying
"What do you mean I won't find it?"
"The information on the subject of Phoenix and … other matters, were destroyed along time ago boy, so it is pointless looking." Hannibal sighed. "However" Hannibal continued to say "I have that information and I will give it to you for a price"
"And what price is that?" Chase said cautiously
"Your soul" Hannibal said with no expression on his face but Chase could tell he was cackling inside.
"Do you honestly think I'm that stupid to sell my soul for a tiny bit of information that really doesn't concern me at all?"
"Yes I do" Hannibal smirked
"What?"
"I do think you're that stupid" Hannibal responded. Chase lunged at him, but Hannibal had disappeared so Chase hit the floor. Hannibal reappeared on the other side of the room. "And it does concern you" Hannibal continued saying.
"How…?" Chase said stopping himself from hitting Hannibal. Hannibal again ignored Chase, turned his back on him and continued to speak.
"Have you always wondered about your past, who you are and why you are so advanced compared to all the other dragons. Have you always found things so familiar yet do not know why, and found certain names memorable like Phoenix, Aura and … Loki?"
"Yes…but…how…" Chase tried to get out but was interrupted.
"Ahhhh so you are interested, don't worry, giving your soul to me won't be that bad, you will be immortal and you have indescribable powers and become the greatest warrior ever" Hannibal paused then turned to face Chase. "well you know what to do if you want the information, I'll give you some time to think about it" Hannibal turned towards the door " but let me just say… it concerns Aura" and with that he disappeared into thin air.
