(... *internally screeching at the sh*t that just went down*)

Pyre and Taika looked at each other before saying simultaneously, "We accept."

(:D)

Myra smiled and held out her hand. *take my hand.*

Pyro said, *be back soon, ok?*

Coral looked confused.

Taika and Pyre nodded and grabbed Myra's hand.

With a flash of light, they dissapeared.

When Pyre and Taika opened their eyes again, they saw a gleaming palace on top of clouds, and plants growing all around.

Myra smiled. *welcome to my home.* she seemed happy to have guests.

2 small phoenixes flew over, and held out their necks. Myra said, *any weapons are not allowed, with the exceptions of birthrights or weapons attached to you.* she flexed her fingers, revealing loin claws. *when you do that, come on in, and find me. The building will guide you to where you wish. Just ask.* then she smiled and flew off, disappearing in a fireball.

Animals kept flying and running and swimming through air all around, making the Pheonox girls stop and look around.

The two girls stared in awe, they didn't have any weapons, Taika had her magic, but she mainly used her book to complete difficult spells.

Myra smiled happily. *come, follow me!* she entered her castle, but inside was completely different.

It was only one room, with rock hallways. It looked like a cave with a stone slab for a table, and another slab and leather blankets for a bed.

Myra smiled. *i was raised by loins. Normally, they would have killed me, but they were a mourning family. They had a baby, which was killed by hunters. I was raised by them, before they were killed as well. I mourned and lived a wild life, before finding my human family again. I was taught to speak, to read and write, and to be a child. But then I was struck with cancer. Lethal cancer. However, the gods pitied me and made me a goddess on my deathbed. I woke, and now, I live and breath. I still like my home to be like the first home I ever had.* she blushed, embarrassed.

Pyre and Taika gave a gentle smile, "It looks so comfy..." Taika trailed off with a look of awe.

Myra smiled. *thanks.* she waved her hand and some stone chairs flew over, laying in front of them. Myra said, *sit, please. Would you like something to eat or drink?*

The two girls sat, "Some Coke?" Taika asked.

Myra smiled and snapped her fingers, and Coke glasses appeared in front of them. *so, um, what do you want to talk about?* she asked nervously. *we can talk about my life, or my offer to you, or... anything you want, I guess.*
