Riddles of the Phoenixes series

Through the eyes of the Dark phoenixes.

Chapter sixteen: War information

“So, is there any news?” Cyra asked once Jack had left the room. Nora nodded slowly. “Theit is a army of people trying to take over the Phoenix kingdoms. Their leader destroyed the Shadow Phoenix kingdom a while back and now he has sent his troops to converge on the lightning phoenixes. His name is Tom. A very powerful Phoenix that was going to be king of the Shadow phoenixes but then something happened. I’m not sure what but he went mad and is now obsessed with taking down all the Phoenix kingdoms, including ours and there is someone going around killing off old peacekeepers from the city called Tortuga. ” Nora said. “Is there anything we can do?” Cyra asked. “I don’t know. I’ve told General Paul to tighten security on our kingdom, not that it wasn’t already tight and sometime some people are coming to visit me and William to help find a way to defeat Tom.” Nora replied. “Wait Tortuga? Wasn’t that the city that Jack was from?” Nora blinked. “Yes, yes it was. I’ll do some…research on it.” “William is with Cyrus right?” Cyra asked. Nora nodded. A lone wolf howl pierced the night’s silence. “We really need to get rid of that wolf problem.” Cyra said. Nora glanced sharply at Cyra. “We’ve tried but it isn’t working. It’ll just keep coming back but we’ll be fine. As long as everyone stays in the city at night.” Cyra nodded and headed toward her room, a worried expression on her face. She passed Jack’s open door. He was sitting on the windowsill, gazing out in a thoughtful trance. Cyra continued walking, leaving him to his thoughts.
