章節 14: The Four Guardian Beasts
*Rrrnnnngggg*
"It's time already?" Orpheus returned the weapons he was cleaning into his shadow and left the dormitory.
_____________
"Hmmm, Okay. We're complete" Mr. Stylianos nodded "Let me begin the briefing. We will be going to a planet named Elekra. It is said to be the home of most elemental creatures. If you wish to form teams on this mission, you are fee to do so. But keep this in mind; everyone is on their own in this quest. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir"
"Good." Mr. Stylianos said before handing out a bracelet and a ring to everyone. "The void bracelet as you all know is for storing the elemental cores you have collected. The ring is a portable teleporter that brings you back here immediately you are done. Make sure you return here at noon.
Now that we are all set, let us head over to the planet."
*Large Scale Teleportation* Mr. Stylianos chanted as they all disappeared into particles of light and the room became quiet once again.
______________
A large light vortex appeared on a large vast land. The large vortex disappeared, revealing 20 people.
"Where is Orpheus?" Sara asked while looking around.
"I thought he teleported with us" Kers said.
"Let us all calm down. He's with the ring. Which means if he's in danger, he can just teleport back to the academy." Mr. Stylianos said. "Now, move out!"
"Yes sir" The students said before dispersing.

"Where am I? Where's everybody?" Orpheus said while staring around in panic "Costas! I think I'm separated from the rest of the group on a strange planet."
[What is it? You're disturbing my sleep... wait. What in fate's name are you doing here of all places!]
"What's wrong with this place? Am I going to die? Is it a monster nest?" Orpheus said as the color drained from his face.
[Worse. You are near the birthplace of the four greatest elemental creatures in greek history]
"What does that mean?"
[When I was still alive, a prophecy was made that the four guardian beasts will be born on a planet faraway and will save the earth from something... what was it? well whatever. What matters now is that you should leave this place immediately.]
"Hold on, which guardian beats are you taking about and how are you sure that they are already here?"
[I don't know, just... shit! It's too late]
"What is too... What... is... that?" Orpheus stared at the sky as he sighted a large red bird flying towards him "It looks like a phoenix."
[That is because it is a phoenix. Teleport away from here now, that's the Vermilion bird]
"You said what? I know this guy from history class. Mr. Petros said he's one of the strongest elemental creatures in Asia."
[I don't give a damn about that. Teleport, you dumb shit!!!]
"Oh, I'm supposed to go. Shadow Teleport!" Orpheus tries to leave the area "Why am I still here?
[The aura of the creature is so strong that it has locked down the area, preventing teleporting. We're dead]
~Where do think you're going after trespassing into my domain? and who are you calling a guy?!~ a voice sounded in Orpheus' head as the crimson phoenix landed before him ~Can't you see that I'm a beautiful female creature? Wait, no human or any other creature can come in here apart from those other three and the... Shit!~
"Huh?" Orpheus' eye twitched at her display "Costas? I think she's high on something."
[Yeah, you may be right about that]
~I'm not high on anything and you're coming with me~ The phoenix shot a beam of fire into the sky before snatching Orpheus from the ground and flew away.

Somewhere else on Planet Elekra?...
A White tiger opens its eyes, noticing a bright orange light in the sky.
~Why is she summoning us this time? That phoenix.~ The white tiger summoned a gust of wind before disappearing.
------
A black tortoise and a blue dragon released heavy sighs as they stared at the beam of light.
~Hey, Azure. Why do you think she's calling us this time?~ The tortoise asked telepathically?
~Hell, if I know. That phoenix is so unpredictable. Anyways, see you there.~ Azure, the dragon said before disappearing with a flash of lightning, leaving the tortoise with a baffled expression.
~He's going to kill her~ the tortoise said before executing a shadow teleport.
------
'This is a really risky mission for them. May fate take them through this' Mr. Stylianos said inwardly while staring at the beam of light in the sky.
------
The phoenix lands on a mountain top ad sets down an unconscious blonde-haired boy. Tapping his head with her talons, Orpheus woke up with a yell.
"Aahh!, what the hell did you do that for? You almost killed me with that speed!" Orpheus yelled.
~Really? You look fine in my eyes~ the phoenix scanned Orpheus up and down
"That doesn't matter. Wait, how are you speaking to me when your voice is sounding in my head but not in my ear" Orpheus asked.
~You idiot. You don't know about telepathy? I wonder what schools are doing these days~
"How the hell am I supposed to know that was telepathy? I'm still a junior magus."
[And doesn't listen in class]
'Damn you'
[Anyways, ask her why she hasn't killed you yet]
'There's no way in hell I'm going to remind the beast to kill me, you piece of shit'
[If she wanted to kill you, she would have done it long ago, 'piece of shit']
'Damn you again'
[Same here]
'...'
"Why haven't you killed me?"
When the others come, we'll decide what to do with you~ the phoenix said
"Who are the others?"
[Please, not what I'm thinking]
~The others are... Oh, here they come~
A strong gust of wind blew, taking Orpheus off his feet. After the wind subsided, a white tier walked towards the duo.
~Why did you call us this time?~ The white tiger asked the phoenix.
~I'll tell you when those two come~
A minute after, a bolt of lightning struck the mountain top, revealing a blue dragon. A second later, a tortoise emerged out of the shadow of Orpheus.
~I swear, if this is a false alarm, I will kill you right here and now~ Azure growled.
~I wish you good luck doing so~ The phoenix said.
~You...~
~Please can we all calm down~ The tortoise stepped between the two beasts.
"Who the hell are these guys and why did a giant turtle appear behind me?" Orpheus asked terrified.
~Oh, I almost forgot about you~ The phoenix said.
~Who's he?~ The tiger asked.
~I don't know but this human could enter my domain unhindered~The phoenix said.
"What the hell is going on?!"Orpheus yelled.
~Can someone please shut him up? He's yelling too much~ Azure said.
~We are the four guardian beasts~ The tortoise said.
[Oh shit]
