Without wasting further time, Ashur and Acantha set out to find the first of the ingredients needed to make the death potion - the phoenix feather.
Outside the lands of Etheria, phoenixes were a very rare mythical creature. But no matter what, Ashur couldn’t possibly risk going back to Etheria, lest Astraea and Leander catch and punish him for what he did to old Master Damocles.
Although Ashur had seen phoenix’s in the ghost form a couple of times, he had never actually met one in the flesh before. How on earth was he going to get a feather from a phoenix?
He decided to ask Acantha about this. After all, the Master she had previously met seemed rather knowledgeable.
“Hmm,” she paused for a while, thinking back to the information the Master had imparted to her. “He said that phoenixes aren’t commonly known to be native to any land, so it’s difficult to find them.”
