-the songbird-

Intro.

Cho was a phoenix. Her mother Xia was the queen of their phoenix tribe. Cho has one brother (Kono). Her father was killed a long time ago by the featherlights. Their phoenix tribe his in the redwood forest from humans and… the phoenix worst enemy… the featherlight. Whenever her mother (fox) either dies or retired Cho would be queen. In their phoenix tribe the younger sibling would become the new queen or king.

Chapter one.

Cho woke up one cloudy morning. Her bright fiery orange eyes blinked from the bright sunlight shining into her tree. She stretched her giant wings back and forth. In the distance she could hear the phoenix hunting call echoing through the air. Gracefully Cho hopped from her tree and soared through the air headed for the “mother tree” where her mother was. Cho landed and bowed respectfully to her mother. “Hello mother.” She said softly to the queen. Queen Xia nodded. “Hello Cho.” “Your brother Kono is leading the hunt.” She said. Cho sighed. “I know.” “Sorry I slept in.” Her mother smiled. “I understand,” She said. Cho sighed thankfully. “but…in the future you need to be up because when you are queen…” she continued lecturing Cho but Cho stopped listening. She stared down outside the tree watching phoenixes fly by. “Why do I have to be queen?” She suddenly blurted interrupting her mother. Xia looked shocked. “Why my dear Cho, it has been a tradition for all our people that the youngest child becomes the tribe leader!” “But mother…I don’t want to be queen.” “Kono can be king for all I care…he wants to be king anyway.” “I’m not meant to be..,” Xia interrupted sharply. “Enough! You will be queen whether you like it or not!” Cho hung her head. “Yes mother.”
