This Means War...Or Does It?

Xenon and Ace both quickly stood up from the rock they were sitting and looked up from where the noise came from. What they saw surprised them so much that Xenon even took a step back.

The Phoenix rose up in the air and swarmed around the icy forest. Both running to the cave, they warned everyone what was happening.

"THE PHOENIX HAS ARRIVED!" Xenon yelled.

"It is time?" Flora looked at Ace.

"Yes, now everyone follow me." Said Ace.

They all walked outside and Ace used his magic to lift everyone into the air. While looking down in the air they saw the icy forest going on for miles, it looked like they were crystals. Soon enough Ace put everyone down on the ground, this place looked so familiar.

"This is the Phoenix's nest, what are we doing here?!" Xenon shouted quietly.

"To help it." Ace replied while getting something out of his pocket.

"Before the Phoenix comes back, there's something I need to explain to everyone." Ace said quietly.

He took out the the book of symbols Fu gave him, "It started when I first came here that I met this man that looked like Shu and we were traveling together and we came across this cave. The cave had some weird paintings in it and he gave me a book of symbols on it. I saw one wall with a lot of symbols and I translated them. It turned out to be a ritual to get rid of the curse of the Golden Phoenix."

"Are you crazy, why should we do this ritual." Lilith said as quite as possible.

"The people of this world are suffering because of this Phoenix and if we don't rid of it, it may cause some big troubles." Ace explained.

"Okay, so what do we have to do." Finn said.

"We need to get into a circle, then I will chant the spell that I have translated."

"And what if it doesn't work?" Asked Xenon.

"Then we fight it." Ace became serious.

Everyone looked at Ace's and saw that he wasn't joking about this. Ace was walking to the middle of the nest and everyone else followed him to stand in a circle. It started getting windy, this meant something was coming. They all looked up expect for Ace and saw that the Phoenix was coming.

"It's coming!" Xenon exclaimed.

"Be quite." Ace commanded Xenon.

The Phoenix was right next to the nest and lest out a loud screech, it then landed in the middle of the circle.

"It's going to attack us!" Shouted Lilith.

"Don't break out of the formation!" Ace shouted.

Ace then looked the Phoenix straight into the eyes and started chanting:

You can rest now

May you now return to your place

The one you have been looking for is found

And peace will now be restored

Ace repeated this 3 times, until the Phoenix walked closer to him. It's golden eyes stared at Ace's blue eyes.

Suddenly a tear fell from the Phoenix's eyes.

It was crying.

Ace stepped forward and the Phoenix raised it's head down and placed it against Ace's. A light flashed and things kept flooding through and after it stopped, he heard a voice say to him.

"Take care."

The Phoenix then started glowing, no one knew what to do so they took a step back and Ace thought about what was going through his head and it seemed like memories.

The memory first starts off with a little creature that Ace had never seen before, standing in the middle of the road.
