Phoenix's Fated Half

"Master, are you going to just let them go?"

Out from the shadows, a big black falcon had emerged. It was bigger than any other falcons of this time, it"s size was like an eagle"s size. However, back when it was his prime, he not was just a typical falcon, but it was a legendary bird. It features could be described as half lion and half falcon. Its body was large and its wings could spread far and wide. It"s legs identical to a mighty lion"s legs, but its claws was a huge falcon"s claw. Along with its neck, a silky black mane would be flying with the winds. What made it more intimidating was it"s dark red eyes and always looked like it would devour everything that comes in its way. In battle, it would be called the master of camouflage as its body was dark as night and would especially have an advantage during the night. The name people and other creatures called him was Wan Hei.

Although he was a majestic being and had ancient blood just like Xiao Bai the mythical snow wolf, he and his master had been badly injured and both their powers had weakened from before. Its body was turned into this small little bird (In its own opinion as it used to be way bigger). Nevertheless, even though they were not as strong as they were, coming to this world, with spiritual powers they were still top of the food chain.

"Hm, follow them to their hiding place. Don"t engage a fight if it"s not needed. If you must, I want the girl alive at any cost."

"What about the dog master?"

"You do whatever you want with it."

"He he, with pleasure master." As Wan Hei was talking, he was licking his beak while he thought of eating the so-called dog. Wan Hei did not want to anger his master and had to take precautions with his ruthlessness. Although he didn"t get to eat the girl, at least he would finish off the dog. Although Wan Hei was thinking about eating Xiao Bai, it had totally forgotten that its master said to not engage in a fight if not needed. Its desires won over him.

Wan Hei couldn"t wait any longer and took off to follow the two figures. It flew high above among the clouds to camouflage itself, while eyeing at the two like preys. Although, both Mi Rong and Xiao Bai had taken the invisible pill, but because Wan Hei was also a mythical beast it was able to see the outline of the two figures. It could only see white outlines and not the whole body, but as it had a good eyesight, it was able to follow the pair below it.

Below the clouds.

Mi Rong and Xiao Bai were now going through a thick forest and were traveling at high speed. While they were on their move, they noticed something.

Mi Rong decided to use telepathy, "Xiao Bai, are you feeling what I"m feeling."

"Yup! It"s really annoying, trying to stick itself with us."

"It"s weird though. How can it see through the majestic pill."

Xiao Bai"s heart jumped in fright when Mi Rong had said it, it knew why but it had to keep a secret deep down inside, so although its heart shook, his face was still as calm as ever, "Maybe following our scent."

Xiao Bai had to be very cautious as the heavens are watching their every move. Coming to help Mi Rong was already testing their limits, but he and his queen had made a deal with those above that he would only be here to protect Mi Rong, but he must not tell her anything about the task.

This secret was for Mi Rong"s sake. It was not the time for him to tell her. If he did, he couldn"t bear the consequences. Everything would be ruined and don"t even mention about the task, Mi Rong would have to be punished for knowing something she shouldn"t.

"Ah? Hm, you have a point. But.."

"There"s no way it could see us, because of the pill. Let me shake it off, you take a rest behind the tree."

"Hm, fine, but what is it though. A bird?"

"No idea. But once we stop and when it guards is down, I"ll bring it down whatever it is."

Xiao Bai then stopped behind a huge tree and let Mi Rong down. It used the tree to hide them from other"s sight.

"I"ll be back."

"Yeah, make it quick. It"s nearly dawn."

"Hm."

Then Xiao Bai dashed off in the dark and Mi Rong was left alone. She was quite confused with Xiao Bai"s reasoning, but she trusted the guy and if he says whatever is following us smelled our scent then that is what it is. So, she just sat down and began meditating.

Wan Hei frowned, it had lost the pair. He was furious, they had disappeared right in front of his eyes. He began searched far and wide across the big forest, but couldn"t find anyone. The two white lights were gone. Then suddenly at it"s back, a deadly bite had bit its neck. It shrieked in agony.

Xiao Bai had waited for Wan Hei to fly ahead from where Mi Rong was and prepared to attack it at the back. It knew why Wan Hei was here and as it was Mi Rong"s protector, it wasn"t going to let any harm come upon her.

Wan Hei shrieking was loud and even Mi Rong from down below could hear it"s pain. Blood was now oozing out from Xiao Bai"s mouth and Wan Hei was having a hard time flying. The blood didn"t stop and he was about to become unconscious when a great bright light came flying directly aimed at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai was alarmed and immediately let go of Wan Hei; however, before Xiao Bai left it mockingly said, "Long time no see, Wan Hei."

With that, a cold sensation crept upon Wan Hei. Its heart shook and it shuddered. It recognized this voice far too well. The dog wasn"t just anything dog, but it was actually the White Wolf from the snowy clan. This time it really underestimated it"s opponent and had thought that it was just a typical wolf. However, with all the kind of creatures, it had to be Bao Bai (Xiao Bai"s name from where he came from). If it weren"t for its master shooting that power at Bao Bai, then it would"ve been dead meat.

Wan Hei was flapping its wings like a newborn bird. The blood was oozing out and the pain was unbearable. One of Bao Bai"s specialty is its bite when it bites anything and it could release a medical fluid to the wound which would antagonize and make the wound feel ten times painful as it really should be. However, not only that but Bao Bai had also released an unscented poison to Wan Hei"s wound. If Bao Bai bit Wan Hei any longer than Wan Hei would"ve been dead.

Xiao Bai"s sharp eyes turned towards the direction of where the light had come from and he saw a black figure of a man standing on the hospital"s rooftop. It frowned.

-----So, you"ve finally shown yourself. Hmph!
