"Whenever I Look at the Sky I See You"

I loved you so much that I started seeing you everywhere I looked. Even the things that scared me the most were no longer scary in my eyes, because my love for you blinded my eyes to my fears.

"So Elizabeth, you have special powers, and somebody wants them. These people are the boy called David and the others... And among them is Tom and Dylan. How come? They were close to us. I'm sorry Elizabeth. At first I thought you were crazy. Sorry... "

"It's okay, Gwen. For a while, I thought I was going crazy too."

"So where are we going now? Do you have a plan?"

"We're going to school right now. I have to talk to Ms. Stone! Ah... By the way, I don't have a plan. I'll decide on that later... I mean, we'll decide."

"Why are we going to school? What does Miss Stone have to do with it?"

"Remember, Gwen! Everything started after Miss Stone told us about that myth... I'm sure she has a few important tips she knows!"

When we got to the school we found Miss Stone reading a book in the garden. As we ran to her, she quickly raised her head as if she knew.

"Elizabeth... you came..."

"How did you know I was coming here, Miss Stone?"

Miss Stone did not answer. She was staring at me, frozen.

"Well... Miss Stone... We need to talk! It's urgent!"

"I know Elizabeth, we need to talk, let's go to the teachers' room."

Ms. Stone quickly stood up and climbed the school stairs and entered. When we entered the teachers' room at the end of the corridor, she locked the door. Although this made me feel a little nervous, I didn't feel anything bad. Miss Stone sat upright in the red leather chair. She gestured to the seat opposite. I dragged Gwen to the seat and we both sat down.

"Miss Stone, you remember the myth about the phoenix you told us about recently, don't you?"

"Of course I do."

"So what was your purpose of telling us the myth? Where did you hear the myth or what is its origin? Can you please tell?"

"Elizabeth... Why are you so curious about a myth?"

"Well, just wondering, sir... I have no other purpose."

After saying this, I felt a pressure in my brain. And I heard his voice. The voice of the phoenix in my dream... Sky...

"Elizabeth, we finally found each other. I am sitting right in front of you now, it has been very difficult for me to capture the soul of this human body, but I assure you I am suffering so much because I have to bond with you! You are my destiny, Elizabeth! And don't worry fpr this poor woman's life. I will release her. Now Elizabeth, I am going out, may my soul be your soul, my heart be yours! My strength be eternally and completely yours! Make the universe beautiful by using red and blue fire. Do not see that blue fire is cursed! Sometimes pain, anger and cold can also give life to the world..."

I was staring at Miss Stone with my eyes wide open. Or at Sky...

Miss Stone suddenly fell into the chair. And a riot of colors formed around her. I remember vaguely telling her to be quiet as Gwen screamed. As Sky whispered to me in his beautiful sacred voice, I really realized how similar our souls are. His soul was torn to pieces like mine. He was hurt, betrayed, lost loved ones. What about our hearts? They were copies of each other. They were good, courageous, and most importantly, beautiful.

Everything happened right before my eyes. I still did not blink my eyes when the colors around Miss Stone merged to create a huge phoenix.

Sky... He was awesome! He had a beauty that you cannot even imagine. With his deep blue eyes staring intently at me, I stood up. His body, which looked a little collapsed, straightened when I got up. I walked over to him. He was like an angel descending from heaven. He brought peace with him.

He leaned over and closed his eyes. I wanted to hug him, kiss him. I heard his thoughts, his voice was so beautiful...

"Relax, Elizabeth. Don't be afraid of me. I've been waiting for you for years..."

He spread his beautiful wings to me. He bowed his head a little more. When I kiss his soft head a tiny kiss, he hugs me with his wings. His scent was the best in the world. Sky... The love I felt for him was too great to describe, this love and bond was completely different. It was like my destiny!

I felt Sky's great power running through my veins. His eyes were closed when I looked at him. He seemed peaceful. How could a person like me bring peace of mind to such a perfect being?

"You, Elizabeth... You are not a normal person. You are my destiny. That is why I am happy to look at you!"

His thoughts... He was sincere, pure and beautiful, but I was wondering why he still didn't speak out.

"You just need to hear me. I also speak out when necessary. Now... the task I will give you is too risky and important. I want you to go to Africa and get information from an explorer there. If you follow the clues, everything can be perfect. The explorer's name is Benjamin Bullock. I hope you can find him. Do not leave your friend alone! You are the one who will always give each other strength. I am leaving now. But I will always be with you when you are in trouble. There is always hope... Do not lose your hope!"

Listening to his thoughts, he slowly disappeared. I was looking in front of me with the scent still on my nose. Miss Stone was awake and was looking around with the pure naive.

"What happened? Where am I?"

"Miss Stone, I guess you'd better go to a hospital... Well... Goodbye!"

When I looked at Gwen, she was still out of shock. Smiling, I lifted her from her arm and unlocked the door to the teachers' room and took her out.

"Whoa!"

"Take it easy, Gwen..."

"I've never seen anything like this before in my life... How beautiful..."

"Yes he was..."

"What did he say to you? You never spoke."

"We talked, he gave me a duty."

Everyone was staring at us when we left the school building.

"You look different, Elizabeth. So beautiful and different!"

"I realize Gwen, but I'm still the same, I'm still your friend!"

"So you won't leave me..."

"Don't be silly! Of course I won't leave you! And Sky wanted you to be with me!"

"Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

"Well! What is our duty then? Where are we going?"

"Our mission is to find an explorer named Benjamin Bullock. The problem is we have to go to Africa! And one more problem... I have no idea what to ask the man! He just told me to find him."

"Wait... How are we going to go to Africa? We have no money!"

"Actually, maybe we could use my powers to go away, but we could get lost. Wait a minute... My dad... Sure... We can sell everything he left me inheritance! I'm sure it will work! We have to pour everything into money! Unfortunately, we have no other choice..."

"Elizabeth, your father would be proud of you. I'm sure he would like you to do that too. I'm not sure what we're doing now, but okay... I'm sure everything will be clear soon!"

"Yes, all we have to do right now is to trust Sky because he trusts us! We must trust him too, I can't disappoint my phoenix who gave me his soul and heart."

I smiled at her as Gwen shook my shoulder in support of me. The blue I saw when I looked at the sky reminded me of Sky's eyes.

But when I looked at the sky, Sky's blue eyes were not the only thing that came to my mind. Meanwhile, my eyes were tearing up with Dylan's blue eyes that came to mind. Those eyes where I find peace when I look will now be far away from me.
