Chapter 5

A day with Mom

Ever since I started living with Yubel my life was a whole lot better. It took some getting used to but eventually I adapted to my new living space with Yubel. Even though she was a phoenix she had the qualities of a mother, she fed me when I was hungry comforted me when I was upset, she even taught me how to read and write properly which at first I thought was strange I mean why would a phoenix need to learn to read or write.

The cave we both lived in was a little dark and scary so it took some getting used to, sleeping inside a cave was uncomfortable so Yubel let me sleep on her back which was very comfortable, it felt like was sleeping on a cloud truly heaven.

The cave we stayed in was inside an open valley with plenty of space to roam around, which meant I had my own little playground to run and have fun. Though there were a couple of dangerous animals out there so Yubel had always kept her eye on me every time I left the cave. Sometimes she'd even play with me and show me some amazing things, she also taught how to do somersaults.

It had now been one year since we both meant I was now six years old I was an inch taller and my hair had grown a lot more. My body was more used to the environment and I was more agile than I was before.

I was running around the landscape chasing after a rabbit it was pretty fast but I was a lot faster, I did a bunch of somersaults over various rocks swung from a tree branch maneuvering through the land keeping up the pace with the rabbit. I began to have a little fun by taking a different route to cut the rabbit off, the rabbit kept on running until it made sure it was safe and knew I was out of sight. As it was munching on a flower I came out of nowhere and grabbed a hold of it without warning.

"Huh gotch" I said and I began to rub it's fur and it's ears.

Suddenly I hear grunting noise coming from behind me I turn around to see a furry beast with yellow glowing eyes and sharp pointed ears walking towards me. Normally this would've scared a regular person but not me I stood my ground and starred the beast straight into its eyes, as the best was coming towards me growling louder and louder a large shadow along with a loud descending noise came from behind me. It was enough to scare the beast causing it to run off scared. I turned around and looked up at the new comer

"Hey mom" I said

"Hello my son off having fun" she replied

I nodded my head "look I caught a rabbit" holding the said creature up

"Indeed you did my boy what're you going to do with it she asked?

I set the bunny down and watched it run off into its burrow.

"You let it go" Yubel asked

"Yep the little guy probably has his own mom to get back to" I said smiling

Yubel looked at me with a smile "hahahaha that's my boy" she said, "anyhow you ready to have some fun"

"Yeah Yeah" I said with excitement

Yubel and me were now standing at the top of a cliff about to have a fun run, it was a nice little activity we enjoyed doing plus it was really good exercise.

"Are you ready Zodie Yubel asked

"Yep yep born ready ready steady" I said while I was doing some warm up stretches

As soon as the last gust of wind blew we took off I was running as fast as my feet could take me while I noticed Yubel flying above me. I maneuvered over rocks at different heights with flips and all sorts of tricks.

As I was maneuvering I grabbed a nearby piece of driftwood and road it down the slope doing all kinds of tricks. I did an ollie over a large rock, did a grind on another and leaped a large gap.

"Ha ha ha ha, enjoying yourself my son?" Yubel asked

"Yep you know it" I said all excited

I continued riding down the slope nearing the ledge of it, as I got close enough I leaped off the board diving down the cliff with Yubel flying down and catching me. She flew up high into the sky with me hanging on to her back.

"Wooooooo faster mom faster" I yelled my voice full of excitement.

"You got it kiddo" Yubel replied she then sped up and did an air spin along with a air flip. She then flew higher into the air so high that we could no longer see the rocky landscape instead we were now above clouds now able to gaze up at the setting sun.

"Wow this is the coolest thing i've ever seen I could stay up here forever" I said my voice full of amazement.

"Indeed it's the best place to watch the sunrise and the sunset" she replied

"Man if only I could fly i'd do this everyday" when suddenly my stomach growled

"I take it that somebody's hungry after all that running around I wouldn't be surprised" Yubel replied.

"Yeah I guess I am" I chuckled a bit

"Then let's go home shall we" Yubel then dived back down ascending to ground level taking us back to the cave.


Night

Yubel and me were back inside of our cave feasting on a couple of bison that Yubel caught on our way home. I was chewing I bit into a tough piece of meat I was struggling with it for bit and I started getting flustered.

"Ahhh screw it" I said frustrated

I took out my dagger and sliced through it with ease .

"That's more like it" I said now full of satisfaction.

Yubel stopped eating for moment and looked over at me specifically the dagger I was holding in my hand.

"Say Zodie that dagger you got there were did you get it from"

I looked up at Yubel and replied "Oh this it was given to me by my father he was an officer an army battalion and this was the weapon he used in battle"

I started to get a sad look on my face into remembering my father.

"Oh Zodie i'm sorry I didn't mean to bring up any bad memories Yubel told me.

"no no mom it's okay you were just curious is all, any way he was a strong fierce man this dagger was said to be magic because no matter how many people he cut he never got any blood onto it" I explained

"Did your father ever possess magic"? Yubel asked

"um no I don't think he did but he was strong without i've seen my mom do it" I replied.

" Let me ask you something Zodie did you ever wonder why a legendary creature like myself decided to save you"?

"Yeah I was being honest, and as why you saved I don't really know at first I just assumed you wanted to eat me or something".

"Well two reasons one I couldn't let a child like you die, and two so that I can pass on the arts my magic onto you, phoenix slayer magic.

"Phoenix slayer magic"? I asked

Yubel then spread out her wings covering us in an empty void of darkness with all sorts of bright lights dancing around us, it was incredible something you'd see inside of a dream. My thoughts were soon interrupted by Yubel's voice.

"You see zodie phoenixes are creatures who are known to spend their time flying across earthland for certain things that may catch their interest" as yubel explained a light construct of a phoenix flying over earthland.

"My species have the initiative ability to sense the emotions of lifeforms, those who have desires to learn our ways in terms of strength. And those same desires are the ones that I had sensed in you that day".

I stood there in disbelief with my mouth wide open she was right years ago I felt weak and wanted to get stronger and now I finally had that chance, I was so happy I couldn't help but draw tears from my eye's.

Yubel then dried my tears and looked at me with a sweet smile.

"Let's get back on track on about magic shall we" Yubel said

"Oh right you were saying something about you sensing some sort of power in me"? I asked

"Yes my boy I sensed you wanted to have power after your family's death a soul of fire filled with vengeance and justice and I can grant you that opportunity".

"OHH WOW really" I shouted excitedly

"Yes but I must let you know though it will not be easy but not impossible and with your determination i'm sure you do it".

"I won't let you down mom I'll work really hard"

"I know you will my son she said as she rubbed her wing on my hair"

I Jumped up and down full of excitement "so when do we start I can't wait"I then did a few somersaults around the cave.

Yubel then grabbed me with her beak and set me back down, "easy now little one we'll start first thing tomorrow for now get some rest alright".

"Okay" I said then I climbed into the nest and pulling myself onto her back I thought "I cant wait"

"Good night Zodie" Yubel said "Good night mom" and the two of us fell asleep waiting for tomorrow to come.
