Riddles of the Phoenixes series

The War of the Phoenixes.

Chapter twenty three: Almost there.

The shadowy figure watched as the man he was following, slept. He had stopped to rest at a small town. They were getting closer, he could feel it. This man was rather ignorant, honestly. He had no idea that he was being followed. The shadowy figure narrowed his eyes. The man looked slightly familiar, but he couldn’t immediately place his face. He cocked his head at the sleeping person and tapped his foot impatiently. Patience was vital to his mission but sometimes…it was rather hard to wait. And at this moment in time, he was not really patient so he crept toward the sleeping figure and nudged him with his foot. “Wakey, wakey, you got a long road ahead of you.” The shadowy figure whispered gruffly.

Jack awoke with a start. He looked around. The room was empty. Jack sat up and ran his fingers through his hair. Jack sighed. It was probably time to leave anyway. He got to his feet and trampled downstairs, headed for the front desk of the hotel like building he was staying in. “Time to go. I think I should arrive at the Daek phoenixes castle soon.” He whispered to himself.
