The Phoenix's Name

It was now 2 days since their group first entered the Mystic Great Tree. 

It was now 2 days since Lin Ke had been sucked into that dark space. Yet, he was still in their. Over the course of the 2 days, Lin Ke caught more and more bits of the phoenix's name, and was the only reason why the phoenix was still humoring him.

"No, I'm tell you, a pawn can only move forward!"

"Caw! Isn't that unfair to the pawns? Why are they so useless?"

"Well that's why they're called pawns no? Plus, they can still be extremely useful if they manage to get to the other side, or if you're strategic with their placements."

"Hmm, human games are quite interesting nowadays huh." The phoenix mused.

They were no longer in a dark space anymore. Instead, it was more like a well defined black room with soft white lights coming from somewhere Lin Ke couldn't see.
