Riddles of the Phoenixes series

Through the eyes of the Dark phoenixes.

(The first book starts in achatina and continues in abc order and then the second and third follow it)

Authors note: Lol, I just realized how many twins I have in this series. Leah and Cole, Tom and James, Jay and Jack, and Cyra and Cyrus. I should probably stop making twins. Sorry guys. 😬

Chapter eight: Royalty?

Cyrus heaved Jack for about five minutes and then set him down, breathing hard. “He’s-too- heavy. By- the- time-we- get- him- to- the- castle- it’ll be mid-night.” Cyrus said between breaths. Cyra pursed her lips and bent down to examine the strange man’s wounds. “Wow his scars have healed pretty quickly!” She exclaimed. “They may have but remember it looks like he was stung by a Cnidaria and their stings are poisonous. If we don’t get him to Nora soon he will die.” Cyrus said bluntly. Cyra was gently feeling the wounds when she touched something metallic. She looked at it. It was hung around the man’s neck and was silver with markings on it. A medallion. “Cyrus! He had a medallion!” Cyra exclaimed. Cyrus looked up from wiling dirt of his clothes. “What?” Cyra nodded. “Yes look. Wait does that mean…he’s royalty?” Cyra wondered. Cyrus rolled his eyes. “Of course that’s what that means! I mean for Pete’s sake only royals get those medallions. Well most are royals…” Cyrus said, fingering his medallion. “Wait as second that’s it!” You can just speed us to the castle.” Cyrus exclaimed to his sister. Cyra scoffed. “How am I gonna do that with y’all heavy people on my back?” She asked. Cyrus raised his eyebrow at her. “Obviously…I’ll pick this guy up…” He kicked Jack with his boot. ..“and then you’ll grab my arm and speed up to the castle where we can save this weird guy’s life. Or…we can just drag him.” Cyrus said. “No! We have to help people not leave them to die!!! I’m so glad that we aren’t royalty because you would make a terrible king!” Cyra exclaimed. “Well geuss what?! You would be a terrible queen!” Cyrus said. “Well, at least I’m brave enough to help YOU whenever you-” She stopped. “Ok. Let’s just go.” Cyrus bent down and scooped up Jack. Cyra grasped her brother’s arm and then they raced off faster than the speed of light.

They arrived at the castle in a matter of seconds and were in front of the throne room gates. “Let us enter. We’re here to see the king and queen.” Cyra demanded. The guards immediately complied. The gates creaked open and they dragged Jack in. On the thrones a man and a woman sat. The woman,Queen Nora, had black hair with grey stripes in it that was up in a long braid and purple eyes. The man, King William, had dark brown hair and gentle green eyes. “Cyra, Cyrus where have you been? And who do you have?” Nora asked. Cyra and Cyrus were the children of some of William and Nora’s former friends. Their parents had died in a fenrir attack. Luckily Nora and William had been coming to visit and they took Cyra and Cyrus in and treated them like their own. They also gave them medallions. “Nora! This man is injured and is dying. He was poisoned by a Cnidaria!” Cyra said. Nora hurried over, her black dress swishing around her. William followed her. Nora knelt down beside the unconscious man. Her medallion began to glow purple and she raised her hands over Jack’s chest. Slowly the cuts and bruises began to evaporate and the poison drained out of the wounds. Then she lowered her hands. “There. I managed to get all the poison out and heal some of the cuts but I think he’ll take care of the rest.” Nora said. They watched as his cuts began to heal slowly by themselves. Nora noticed his medallion immediately. “A medallion? That means he’s royalty.” William said in a low voice. “Or he could have just stole it.” Cyrus said. Cyra glared at him. “Always taking the negative side of things aren’t you?” Cyra said. “Enough you two. Take him to a spare room. When he wakes up we’ll question him.” Nora said.

Next chapter coming soon!
