We returned to the shore and left the Underwater Phoenix King to his newborn phoenix chicks. Between them, there is a Dark Phoenix just like Richard.
"How is it even possible?" I asked Richard, still not believing what my eyes have seen.
"I don't know how," answered Richard, eying me. "But for that king to seek you to see the hatch of its eggs means that it sensed something."
"What thing? Me unconscious in its palace, or one of its chicks turning into a creature so rare in the world that there is - was - one in the world?"
"One of them. Perhaps the two. But in my estimation, the two incidents are separated and have nothing to do with each other."
"But why? Why did I pass out so suddenly? And..." Suddenly my expression changed.
"Let me guess, you lost connection with your true body?"
"Yes!" I said, my face grim.
"I'll explain everything when we get to your home."
"Wait, we are going to my home? Not to your mansion?"
"No, I don't want..."
"... Tulip to know, right?"
"Right. Now come on, Fárbuati is waiting for us in your home."
I nodded and told my friends about the situation, and although they complained, they nodded in the end. Well, it seems that I won't have a good meeting with my friends from now on.
Back at the Isle Of Prisons, I frowned at what Pangu has just said. Then I realized immediately what's wrong.
"What the hell was that small hill doing on a completely flat land?" I said, the frown still on my face.
"That's what I wanted to tell you before Bast came," replied Pangu.
I turned my body to look at what I was sleeping on and my eyes widened in disbelief. There was nothing on the ground. No hill, nothing. Just the flat land.
I raised my head to look in the sky and saw the unbelievable. A figure covered with fire, as tall as me, and an evil smile on its face, hovered in the air. It continued to stare at me, consuming me with its eyes.
"What are you?" I asked, "Are you Hades from the first Percy Jackson movie? Which by the way doesn't look like Hades at all!"
"I don't think that it is the time for jokes, lad!" cried Pangu.
And just as he finished talking, the fire figure paid us no head and approached me in the blink of an eye. My body seemed to absorb it, although I couldn't resist.
All of this happened in the time of one quick breath, which rendered me, as you all know, unconscious. Again.
In my country, after arriving to my home, which didn't take a long time, I knocked on the door.
The one to open the door was my mother, who had a frown on her face as she pointed at a big figure sitting on the couch in the salon.
"Hey big guy!" I said, extending my hand to shake his which hadn't moved as he looked at me. "How much do you weigh? Release that couch from the pain, dude!"
Fárbuati stood up, his expression still indifferent, and I don't know how he manages to do that, and surprisingly said, "Quit fooling around."
"Pangu said the same thing before..."
"... before you were cut off from your original body," continued Richard.
"Yes. How did you know?"
"Bast informed me. However she is already very far away. She contacted me to go and find you."
"And are you going?"
"No."
"Thanks. I would be surprised if you said yes."
"Well as you know, I am not emotionless. Your senior brother Fárbuati is currently looking for your body."
"Thanks big guy," I said, turning from Richard to him. "But how are you going to trespass that island if there are no natural laws there."
"The same way you did," he answered. "Furthermore, that environment is the best for me."
"How come?"
"Do you know what law I study, boy?"
"No not really."
"The rarest of all laws. The Laws of Chaos!"
"So, when you say that there are no natural laws, there actually is but in chaos, right?"
"Precisely," said Richard. At the same moment, Fárbuati looked at me and said, "I found your body."
