“It was burnt.” Phillix said.

We looked at him, shocked. “’burnt’?!” we exclaimed.

Phillix nodded. “It was burnt by the evil king.” He said.

“You already came here?” I asked.

Phillix shook his head as an answer. “This is once the home of the great sage – my creator, Yulo.” He said before he made a sudden pause. “Or should I say this was from her memory.” He muttered.

We all looked at him, our mouth fell open. “What?!” we all said, shocked.

Phillix nodded and picked up some dark gravel on the ground. “Yes. This is it.” he muttered and looked up at the sky. “I get it now.” He said.

“What is?” Michele asked.

Phillix looked at all of us, then took a deep breath. “We’re up the Yaia.” He said.

Our jaw dropped. “For real?!” we said.
