There once was a wise, impatient phoenix. He lived in Sky Pheonixia, (Phoenix Skyvillage) the great skies of the land. Golden-feathered phoenixes lived free lives in wing-made huts sometimes constructed on lush Skyoaks. The late afternoon sun shone happily above the Skyvillage, and everyone thought it would be a great and lucky day, from start to end.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The phoenix did not have a name. His mother had been presumed dead, and his father disappeared during the revival of the terrifying Dark Ashgle<\/em>, a phoenix born with too much ash and hatred. But this day presents him one bright thing in his life: our phoenix is about to be named in the cover of this delightful sunshine. In Phoenix legend, when one has reached their adulthood, only then will they have an official name. The name would cost phoenixflame energy to create it, and the name you are given is the title you will hold either in the future or present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whoosh!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CRASH!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOwwww,\u201d the purple-gold phoenix moaned. \u201cDo you HAVE to live somewhere so full of trees? And why are they growing on a cloud<\/em>?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhaaat?\u201d the purple phoenix groaned and swung back her half gold, half orange-yellow hair. She turned to face the clean, gold picture of the impatient phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHurry up, I have an appointment after this, phoenix.\u201d he snapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy name is Mriathiana, fledgling. It means legend and nature, and I am holding this title now. Respect.\u201d she hissed and flipped open a notebook taken from her layers of mystical feathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am not a fledgling,\u201d the phoenix replied, but instinctively he nodded to let Mriathiana talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay, listen up. I have checked the Names Left Book<\/em> and apparently, only the names Birdhead <\/em>and The <\/em>are left over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The phoenix considered this for a moment. Of course<\/em>, he thought, Birdhead is surely a more sensible name. <\/em>He ruffled his wings and yawned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will go for Birdhead, please.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay. If that is the case, I will need two hundred phoenixflames to create the name.\u201d Mriathiana hastily made a note on the notebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo hundred<\/em>?!\u201d the phoenix roared. His beak opened in such shock that if someone climbed it, they would have reached the Moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWHY? Why <\/em>is it SO expensive?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAHEM. Birdhead means the God\/Goddess, or King\/Queen of all birds, depending on what you believe in. As you can tell it is a very powerful and valuable name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, then… How much does The <\/em>cost?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA billion phoenixflames.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWHAT? A so simple name for THAT much?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe <\/em>can mean anything. It could be the most superior object or living organism in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFIINE, Birdhead, then. Now… the pheonixflames.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The phoenix held two wings in front of him, one below the other, both facing eachother. A small golden light began to flow between them. Slowly, a visible sphere appeared in the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is one,\u201d Mriathiana said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orange streams of light dashed across the sky from the glowing orb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo hundred.\u201d Mriathiana nodded, and she reached out a wing to hold the golden sphere. She crushed it with the strength of her wingtips, creating golden streaks around the phoenix, from that specific moment, known as Birdhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rumble…Crack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d Birdhead flapped his wings to hover over the edge of the cloud. He peered down. \u201cWhat in the name of Pheonixia – is happening?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mriathiana joined him, flapping her sleek wings and shaking her gold-orange hair behind her purple back. Her eyes widened and she lost her balance for a second. \u201cImpossible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dark shape rose. The small phoenix gasped and grabbed at his father, pulling his scarlet feathers back.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaddy, where are you going?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShoosh, hon.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The father pushed his son aside.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am going to save you, birdy. And the world, too.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut…why? Why does the world need saving?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/em>Birdy…do you know that shadow and light are two sides of the same coin<\/strong> and that one cannot exist without the other<\/strong>?<\/em> The Ashgle is rising…and I must stop it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAshgle? I don\u2019t know what you mean, daddy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShoosh, son. I will be back before you know it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with beats of his powerful wings, the father flew away, as the son glimpsed the last sights of him, unaware of the future that lay in his wings.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAaaugh!\u201d Birdhead moaned and cast thoughts away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dark shape rose.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birdhead hurriedly landed back on the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ashgle is rising…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unaware of his unusual behaviour, Mriathiana sighed and looked down<\/p>\n\n\n\n

at the rising Dark Ashgle. \u201cWe are doomed…to death, I presume.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo. You are NOT! Not you either, BirdHEAD!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birdhead yelped as a blue snake-like creature appeared by his side. She adjusted her white wings and patted him with a rainbow-feathered tail. \u201cHeeey kid. My name is Zelda, an occamy. Nice to scare you. I did NOT expect you to have a companion. Well, technically, I DID predict that. So, hey, I am a prophet, or what I like, prophetional<\/em>. Makes me sound professional. Geddit? Okay. Well, let us start from the beginning, or will you like to introduce yourself? No?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birdhead hit her with his wing to stop her from talking. \u201cMy name is Birdhead, and I would like you to talk ten times slower. And why are you here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo save the world, bud. For you to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ashgle is rising…and I must stop it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUm. Does that mean disappearing forever?\u201d Birdhead turned curiously at Mriathiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was staring up at the sky. Her head tilted from side to side, like a little sparrow observing a bowl of seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHelp,\u201d she muttered, and with one swift movement she was off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat was that?\u201d Birdhead wondered aloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCheers,\u201d Zelda said happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A gigantic bird landed so suddenly by Birdhead\u2019s side that he shrieked loud enough for Zelda to thwack him in the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBe nice, bird.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its feathers were a mixture of pink and blue. He had two strong claws at the front, two muscular horse legs at the back. His powerful wings spread out wider than the largest cloud in Sky Phoenixia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelda grinned and patted Birdhead again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s Beaky, or Beakfall. Don\u2019t try and be freaked out by his presence. Deep down, he has a heart of gold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beakfall snorted. \u201cAre we going?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelda leapt joyfully onto his back and winked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait, where are you guys going? You just came here and told me, hey kid, stop Ashgle<\/em>. What am I <\/em>supposed to do?\u201d Birdhead cried out in alarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAwwww, it\u2019s not like you can stop Ashgle without a teeeeeam.\u201d Zelda teased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d Birdhead started, but a gust of wind knocked him down and he hit his head against a Skyoak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beakfall lifted off with Zelda clinging onto his neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the name of Pheonixia!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birdhead groaned and chased after them, taking a glimpse of Ashgle below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A distant voice came forth, as Birdhead caught up with the two. \u201cWAIT! PLEASE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birdhead and Beakfall came to a halt, turning around to see Mriathiana, hurriedly flapping her wings. \u201cI-I want to help, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelda frowned. \u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mriathiana sighed and lifted her wing to reveal a golden necklace around her neck. With one swift movement she took it off, the gold chain disappearing in thin air. Slowly, her purple feathers turned a light shade of gold, and a curious magenta-pink diamond formed on her forehead. Her hair grew longer, with orange tips of feathers at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReally?\u201d Beakfall repeated. \u201cReeeeeeeeally?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhaddaya mean? It was a simple hex to change me.\u201d Mriathiana snorted. \u201cAnd my name is Myrtlelana.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSIMPLE hex?\u201d Beakfall roared, shocked. \u201cThat hex is basically LOSING YOUR LIFE! You are very lucky you chose to use a necklace to conceal that spell. If it were one of your organs, you would be DEAD.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelda yawned. \u201cOkay, enough with deadly chit-chat. Of course you can come, Myrtlelana. The more the better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huh, <\/em>Birdhead thought. You only just met her for what, one second. How can you trust her?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is a PROPHET, <\/em>another voice yelled in his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to Flutterpeach Village. Then to Phoenix Flames\u2019Gate. Let\u2019s hope we get there before anyone else does, which I don\u2019t think anybody will go anyway. Lucky! We\u2019ll complete three trials, and ta-da! The Fire of Courage presented by the Lord of the Dragons. Using that, we can stop Ashgle and his horrible plans! I\u2019ve got this whole thing planned out, and man, it\u2019s going greeeat! I love being prophetional!\u201d Zelda exclaimed, smiling warmly at Birdhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birdhead tried to smile back, but he felt uncomfortable inside smiling to a weird flying snake who he had only met for two minutes. Myrtlelana grinned and the four continued to fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, a giant tree of pink blossoms came into sight. Its roots remained in the land and the tallest branch towered over the peaceful clouds. If you looked hard enough, you could see miniscule wooden huts, and if you looked even harder, the tiniest flutterpeaches flapping their little leaves around the tree. As the quartet flew closer and closer, Birdhead begun to wonder more about the other great places of his world. He wondered whether Ashgle was powerful enough to destroy them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBirdhead, look.\u201d Zelda pointed to a flutterpeach reading a long scroll of illegible handwriting, sitting on the third-highest platform visible, located on the giant, pink tree. \u201cHe is the flutterpeach Elder, Leafi. Lee-fie.<\/em> Normally he will keep watch of the village and watch for intruders. But as you can see, since Ashgle is back, he is busy with sorting things out and trying to recruit other flutterpeaches to protect their home. We can go there and ask him where Peachu is. Old friend. She has got some wits to help us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gliding carefully along with Beakfall and Myrtlelana, they reached the edge of the platform, greeted by a grumpy Elder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHEY! What NOW?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExcuuuse me, ahem,\u201d Zelda, poking her head to the left of Beakfall\u2019s neck. \u201cYou SHOULD remember me, aaaaah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have no memory when dealing with seriousness, Zelda<\/em>,\u201d Leafi snorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOooh, he\u2019s meeean,\u201d Myrtlelana whispered from the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beakfall yawned noisily, and Leafi turned to look at him, surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho are you…uh…?\u201d Leafi asked cautiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am Beakfall, you are looking at, and seriously, some mythicimals (Which in their world, meant \u2018people\u2019 or citizens) need to be smarter <\/em>these days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leafi backed away in fright, and Zelda sighed, hopping of the sleek back of Beakfall. \u201cDon\u2019t be intimidated, that\u2019s just how he is… with a pure heart of gold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m Myrtlelana,\u201d Myrtlelana said quietly, trying to break up the commotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m Birdhead,\u201d Birdhead added. \u201cUhh, and no need to argue either, hm?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelda rolled her eyes. \u201cYa know where Peachu is?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leafi continued to stare up at the intimidating figure of Beakfall, \u201cEr, last I saw, er, library, er. Myrtle trees on top of the hut, er, the level below. Er-hem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beakfall made a face and picked Zelda up. Birdhead patted the Elder\u2019s head, leaving him wide-eyed as they flew down to the library. Myrtlelana did a backflip in the air as the four swerved to the right to see the little hut with myrtle trees stretching neatly over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou guys wait, I\u2019ll talk to Peachu.\u201d Zelda leapt off Beakfall as he landed on a thick branch. She slithered towards the library hut\u2019s door, which was<\/p>\n\n\n\n

shaped like a little circle, too small for any creature except a flutterpeach to enter. The hut was a little like a Hobbit hole, except its shape was a large, wooden sphere extended at the back. Also, it was constructed on the branch<\/p>\n\n\n\n

of an overgrown pink blossom (Which many mythicimals would think was a cherry blossom, but it was not) tree. A little flat roof lay at the top, which was mostly covered by the expanding, white myrtle trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelda knocked on the door, in which at the same time, she shrunk with her occamy powers turn half her size, about how small an average flutterpeach was. \u201cHello?\u201d a voice came from inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey, I am here to see Peachu.\u201d Zelda replied. \u201cIs she in there?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a quiet shuffling noise as the flutterpeach inside tried to find Peachu. \u201cPeachu, there\u2019s someone outside there to see you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, Zelda. About time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peachu used her leaves to glide softly the round door. Slowly, the door creaked open. \u201cHi Zelda, what is it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeachu! Good to see you. Haven\u2019t you noticed the recent rumble?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh that? I thought it was just a treequake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was Ashgle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWHAAT? NO, YOU MUST<\/em> BE KIDDING ME.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myrtlelana squawked in surprise and almost fell of the branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Peachu. It wasn\u2019t ME who caused it anywaay you can help us whack boom him down. \u201cZelda said calmly. \u201cAgree?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peachu rubbed her eyes and sighed. \u201cI don\u2019t think I can help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can.\u201d Birdhead, Myrtlelana and Beakfall said simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little flutterpeach considered this for a moment. \u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unnoticed in the distance, on a floating cloud, was a spying Ashdragon. She had menacing yellow eyes and blue and black scales. Watching the five mythicimals go, she lifted off and headed her own way, towards the Ash kingdom, the mountains of the dark. Her sense of direction was guided by the glorious sun, yet her master despised the light.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, she reached the entrance of her master\u2019s mountain. The Ashdragon walked in, heading down into the depths to find the throne room.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The staircases were dark and slippery because of the constant ash dripping down from the mountain walls. Most of the time, she would fly down the stairs for speed, but this day, she felt nervous meeting her master because she feared the five she had spied on would find out.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She walked in nervously. \u201cHello, Melody. What news?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The soft, hoarse voice of her master echoed throughout the room. The Dark Ashgle, feathers black, luminiscent eyes of malice and claws of hatred.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaster, I-\u201d Melody hesitated. She thought of the possibilities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I don\u2019t tell him, she thought. <\/em>The five will not bother me. And maybe I could escape and help them. After all, I don\u2019t really like Ashgle and how he sometimes treats me. If I do, the five could find out, and my life might be worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She made her decision.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It changed her life forever. \u201cThey weren\u2019t doing much, that\u2019s all I can say. They met up with an old friend in Flutterpeach. They said something about watermelons, so I don\u2019t think they\u2019re the ones trying to destroy you. Unless they are stupidly attempting to squash you with them, obviously.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ashgle nodded, his eyes staring coldly down at Melody. \u201cAaaah. You are dismissed then.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melody quickly rushed out. Her scales faded green and her horns blue. Clawing the steps and hoping for freedom, she swept out of the mountain<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

before any Ashdragon could notice she was there. \u201cIt is dangerous to go<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

alone.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d Melody could hear her dead mother\u2019s voice ringing in her ears as she flew towards the direction of Flutterpeach Village. <\/em>I must find them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOff we gooooo-woo!\u201d Zelda whooped and hopped onto Beakfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quintet quickly lifted into the air, following Beakfall\u2019s powerful flaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melody made it just in time to see them leave. \u201cHEY!\u201d she yelled, trying to catch their attention.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat now?\u201d Beakfall turned to see a green dragon with a blue underbelly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

waving wildly at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry to interfere, but can I help you destroy Ashgle?\u201d Melody asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow did you know we were doing that?\u201d Birdhead said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI, uh, overheard you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m fine,\u201d Zelda proposed. \u201cIf you want to know why I think she\u2019ll be great in our team, mind your own prophetional business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, sure.\u201d Myrtlelana added, shrugging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd maybe a team name, too, for fun.\u201d Peachu said. \u201cTeam Wings?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOr the Mythicals<\/em>?\u201d Birdhead suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, why not.\u201d Myrtlelana said. \u201cDoes Melody agree?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, I\u2019m not the leader.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelda\u2019s a prophet thought Melody. <\/em>That explains why she trusts me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mythicals continued their journey north as the sun began to sink beneath the towering mountains on their left. The breeze was calm and soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vast forests of cherry blossoms and oaks spread across the land, with little treehouses attached to the tallest trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey were once the home to dragons,\u201d Beakfall explained. \u201cBefore that stupid Ashgle took over, obviously.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat did he do?\u201d Peachu said, aghast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe turned them to his slaves, Ashdragons. Most of them are under a spell. I remember that if one was to betray him, it would instantly reveal it, by transforming them back to who they were before. You\u2019d be lucky to escape after you betray him, especially if you\u2019re right in front of him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike me,\u201d Melody put in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHuh?\u201d Birdhead and Myrtlelana yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, I was a spy. I turned him down by lying.\u201d Melody rolled her eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs that what you mean by \u2018Ashdragon\u2019, though?\u201d Birdhead pointed to a hovering black dragon, about fifteen metres away from them. It was the same as Melody\u2019s appearance before she betrayed the Dark Ashgle, but larger and more muscular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its eyes slowly settled on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUh oh, Birdhead, you said that too loud,\u201d Zelda said casually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCHAAAAAAARGE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mythicals went off in a flash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYAAAAAAAAAR!\u201d Melody yelled. \u201cI AM FULFILLING MY DESTINY!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an instant, as light and shadow clashed, the Ashdragon was tumbling down to the ground. Beakfall went after him like a thunderbolt. \u201cWHAT ARE YOU DOING?!\u201d Zelda screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beakfall caught the dragon at the last second, and then settled him on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you CRAZY?\u201d Zelda shrieked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRemember, he is in slavery. If we killed all the Ashdragons, then the dragons would be led to extinction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other four landed down beside them. \u201cWell, there\u2019s the gate, right?\u201d Beakfall sighed, pointing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
