Harmony the Soulbond Year Two: Phoenix Song
Chapter Four: The First Phoenix
The Cousins were stunned. Merlin had taken on the journey to find the true origin of Phoenix Song. He had been the only other one to do it. Harry turned to Fawkes.
"You said Merlin had undertaken the journey to find the true meaning of phoenix song. But you didn't say whether he had actually achieved his goal and discovered it. DID Merlin discover the true meaning and origin of the phoenix's song?" he wondered.
Fawkes looked over to his daughter. Lila said nothing and continued to balance herself on the currents of the air. Fawkes, looked over at his charge. "That, is something you will have to ask him yourself. IF and when you complete this journey. Remember that you take it alone and then you take it together once your wives have finished their bit of the journey. Not every journey to find the origin of the phoenix song is the same. Your journey will be different than Hermione and Susan's. Just as Merlin's journey was and will be different than yours."
Harry, not sure he understood, turned to see if Dudley was understanding them. Dudley looked confused and just shrugged his shoulders in response to Harry's silent query.
"I am not sure I understand, Fawkes but neither of you have ever led us astray. So lead on." He told the phoenix solemnly.
This time it was Lila who laughed. It sounded like a lilting trill of her usual phoenix song. "We aren't going to go on your journey with you. Look around. You have been brought to the time of the original wizards. A Thousand years before Godric, Helga, Rowena, and Salazar were even thought of much less before they thought of creating Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. No. Through this land you have three days to travel and find the Male phoenix who originated the song that all phoenix sing with. Only then will your wives join you. We must go prepare them for their journey as it will be undertaken at the same time as yours so that hopefully you both meet up with them at the first phoenix's nest." Lila told them.
"Do not move from this area until prepared and sent your wives on their journey we have finished doing. I will send a tail feather in a ball of flames to let you know that you may begin. Good Luck my friends. May your magic keep you safe." Fawkes told the cousins. With these final words and a trill of good luck, father and daughter flamed away, so as to prepare the boys' soulmates for their journey.
Dudley and Harry began to just sit and wait. An hour later a red feather encapsulated in a ball of flame, fell to the ground. The cousins jumped up and began their trek. Not knowing what was going to happen or what kind of magic they would encounter, they mentally prepared themselves for anything that would come their way…..
