FenixAndMysticContestby Babajaga  A huge crowd had gathered in town, all eager to see the battle over the Phoenix egg between Aki and Sutai. The challenge from Sutai was in three parts. A Quiz, animal taming, and fighting the otherīs pet. The quiz went rather nicely for Aki, who showed yet again what a wise one he is. Sutai was in deep trouble in this one - but at last he scored one point of eight possible. The next challenge, animal training Sutai won. He found a Noble Myrm, while Aki just came up with an arachne. So, at this point the score was 1-1, and no winner. The next challenge was supposed to be a battle between the mystic and the other mysticīs pet, meaning in this case Aki had to fight a Noble Myrm.. While they were still setting up the contest - Sutai had to drop the egg on the ground.. It starts to hatch! And out comes the most wondrous creature I have ever seen. The Phoenix!  Probably scared to death by the crowd, it attacks Aki on sight - and flees off up north, setting fire to exiles and buildings on itīs way. Despite many a cry to leave it alone, exiles flock around it and try to kill it. We are witnessing a great event, the birth of a rare bird, The Phoenix - and what do the exiles of Puddleby do..? Indeed, try to kill this most wonderful being.  Seeing the crowd nearing with axes high, no wonder the Phoenix attacks many exiles on itīs path - and in itīs attempt to escape it comes too close to some of the towers that surround the town. Being a bird of fire and all - the towers goes up in flames. What a sad , sad day for Puddleby - when Gurgi manages to hit a striking blow, and it falls down to the ground. There is a time for everything, and this was not the time to do the headless chop chop thing.. But, being the Phoenix - it rises from the ashes and finally escapes. I am afraid it will be a long time till we see it again, but it is out there - somewhere. And knowing that brings me great joy. |
