The Heart Of The Phoenix

Chapter 5

Aurora closed her eyes and felt a warmth filling her body during Elrik's kiss. After a while, they finally broke away and Elrik smiled at him.

"Are you feeling all right?" ask her gently.

Aurora nodded. "I feel better now. Thank you for helping."

Elrik smiled. "No need to say thank you. I'm glad I could help."

Aurora stood up and tidied up her clothes. "I have to go now. I have to finish this mission."

Elrik. "I understand. Be careful out there."

Aurora walked towards the door, but before she left the room, she turned around. "Elrik, do you know where I can find another phoenix?"

Elrik shook his head. "Sorry, I don't know. But I'll find out for you."

Aurora smiled and walked out of the room. He knew he could not continue to depend on Elrik. He must find another phoenix and figure out how he can stop the coming war.

After walking for several hours, Aurora arrives at a small village inhabited by witches. He walked into a shop and asked the owner if he knew where he could find a phoenix.

The shop owner laughed. "Phoenixes? Are you crazy? The phoenix is almost extinct. They're very rare and hard to find."

Aurora was saddened to hear the news. He felt increasingly desperate. But he won't give up. He must keep looking.

He decided to find out more about the witches and whether they knew anything about the phoenix. He asked some of the witches he met on the street and finally, he met an old witch who told him that he knew where he could find a phoenix.

"Phoenix only appears in very special places," said the old witch. "You should look for them in places that are very hot and dry, like deserts or volcanoes."

Aurora was delighted to hear the news. He knew he had to go to those very dangerous places, but he didn't care. He must find the phoenix.

He walked to the nearby desert and started looking around for the phoenix sign. After a while, he saw a large bird flying overhead. He recognized it as a phoenix and began to chase after it.

As he got closer, he felt a warmth radiating from that phoenix. He stopped in front of him, and the phoenix looked at him with bright shining eyes.

"What do you want from me?" the voice of the phoenix sounded in Aurora's mind.

"I want to ask for your help to stop the coming war between humans and other creatures" Aurora replied.

The Phoenix paused for a moment before finally replying, "The war is already governed by fate. But I can help you find a way out."

Aurora was relieved to hear that. He followed the phoenix into an increasingly deep cave. There, the phoenix told him about an artifact that could stop that war.

"I will help you find the artifact," the phoenix said.

Aurora felt grateful to hear that. He won't be able to do everything alone. He needs phoenix help.

The two of them left the cave and started walking to dangerous and hard-to-reach places. But with the power of the phoenix and the courage of Aurora, they managed to pass through every obstacle and finally found the artifact.

Aurora felt overwhelmed by the sight of the artifact. He felt like he was holding the last hope for the peace and safety of all living beings in this world.

"I will take this artifact to a safe place and make sure that the war will not happen" Aurora said firmly.

The phoenix smiled. "I'm sure you can do it. You're a real hero."

Aurora was proud to hear that. He knew that his struggle was still long, but with the help of the phoenix, he felt stronger and more confident to face all the obstacles that were to come.

The two of them parted ways with each other promising to always help each other. Aurora goes to carry out her mission, while the phoenix returns to her beautiful world.

In Aurora's heart, she knows that she has found the true heart of the phoenix, and together they will fill the world with everlasting love and peace.
