Thread: The Lady is a Man (CLOSED)

RE The Lady is a Man AlexsSketches, shyone Andol walked over after they entered the bird house and sat down at the table that was nearest to the grove of odd trees. The reason they looked so odd was because of the fact they where magical. Resistant to fire, they had been transported to this place by Andol's army when he had captured the first phoenix... they had figured that since the trees lived in the area, their magical nature had been something of a way the forest kept itself from being burned down by the phoenix's that lived in it. Yet for now Akira had not noticed that bird, and Andol was paying too much attention, to the fact that the other was looking at his golden eagles and ravens, Yes indeed it is, plus the golden eagles make great scouts for the military to. Though I try to make sure that they have armor to wear that keeps them safe and form being shot down. I will have to make sure to show that to you later, and the ravens... well I have just always had certain affection for them, especially that one. The young man pointed to a bird that was in a nearby tree, and it seemed to look down at them as though knowing them where there, I call her, Lenore. She is blind in one eye, though still seems to get around well enough, but I am not sure how. He smiled at the fact that the princess finally noticed his phoenix, though he was surprised to see that one of them recently burned up. He always liked to be around to see that part, but at least he was not going to miss it's rising from the ashes. Though he did notice something that Akira seemed to have missed, especially when she began to mess with the ashes... that there was another phoenix... this one was bigger than the one that would come out of the ashes, the reason being because it was female, and the one whose ashes those where, was that of her mate. Phoenix's were known to be very protective over that of their mate's during the time they where venerable as they wear during their 'burning period'. The bird seemed ready to strike when suddenly Andol began to tap on the table with one of his pointer fingers. The clinking of the finger gauntlets pointy tip... made the bird pull back... the reason was wrapped up in the whole reason that a mating pair of phoenix's were here. The two birds could have easily melted their way out, but they didn't... until their master died, they couldn't. He laughed at the wonder in the princess's voice and in her face, Yes well come and sit down and I can tell you all about that. He then yelled out, Shierk... Ireki... why don't you come join us? With those words, that showed the two mythical birds understood when their names were being called out. The two birds flew towards the table, and just before they landed, the bodies that had mostly been made of actual flames beforehand, and then turned into a flame colored feathers. The pair didn't want to damage their master... or his table ether. He waited until the princess joined him at the table and said, Princess this here is Shierk and Ireki... they are twins... and also mates. You see having dragons allows one to go quite a bit further than just ships and walking. So on one of my longer flights exploring, I bought some food form some merchant, and among those was two eggs. Though sure enough as I am about to eat them... they hatched and well basically I was the first thing they saw... so they think I am their mother. Though I think it has turned into more of the same type of relationship that I have with Shera now that they are older. He continued his story after he reached out and started affectionately petting one of his birds, Their is one problem though, and that is that these two will never die of natural causes it is highly likely that I will die before them. It is a rare thing for a person to command the loyalty of a phoenix, so I have been told they will either one, die when I do out of grief for a lost parent... or they will just fly off into the sunset together... The prince seemed to drift off thinking about that last thought... before suddenly coming back to reality as he looked to princess and then asked, So... what do you think? Oh and by the way, you still haven't told me about yourself. I am not even sure where to start asking. He just looked at her curiously, again doing the weird blinking thing, were he did it way to many times.
