《Raising Phoenix From Today》Chapter 10: They are Evolving
Advertisement
Lori knew her daughter played it down, but she understood the difficulties she may have faced to get this change. Her body shuddered and tears rolled down. The near death experience of her daughter scared her greatly.
Sachi quickly hugged her mother and comforted her "Mom, its fine I am okay now."
"We are safe here do not worry."
Queen also flew on to Lori and made some noises trying to cheer her up.
Lori was unable to stop herself from smiling seeing her antics. She was attracted to its charm and funniness.
"What is she?" she asked Sachi.
"An Ice phoenix" Sachi replied giving her mother another shock. This was the most shocking news of her life. A phoenix which is considered high and sacred was her daughter's partner and what's more surprising is that this sacred bird calling her 'grandmother.'
Lori felt an unknown pressure and thought she cannot accept this high respect, she wanted to call Queen as 'Your Excellency" when she heard the voice "You are my mother's mother so according to the human language you are grandmother"
Lori did not know what to say to that.
Sachi smiled at her mother and said "just accept it do not over-think, in future you may have more grand children."
Lori did not undertsand what Sachi said, she thought her daughter was joking to cheer her up.
In the meantime, the horses slowly adjusted to the environment and stood up slowly. They felt thirsty and hungry. Infront of them they saw the grass with energy and few trees with fruits.
When the horses saw the fruits they were tempted and cautiously looked around and then ran to taste them.
As Sachi and her mother were in the room chatting they heard a loud screech. It was from the horses. They came out and saw the horses rolling on the ground in pain. Two half eaten phoenix fruits were on the ground.

Both Sachi and queen tapped their foreheads. "These idiots" both said at the same time.
Sachi and queen went forward to check the condition of the horses. The horse was her companion for the four days, even though it was timid and coward. Sachi felt sad as the horse wailed in pain.
Their bodies became blood red and the nerved bulged.
"System, what is their condition?" asked Sachi in her mind.
"They have consumed which is not of their origin and their body cannot contain the pure energy of the fruits. Death time 20 minutes max" replied the system.
Sachi felt sad and in dilemma in how to save their poor lives. Queen landed on the horse and bit her wing then she sent two drops of blood which fell from her wing into the horse's mouth.
The next second there were unexpected changes. Two cocoons formed around the horses.
The wound on the wing slowly healed as the energy around the surroundings sucked into queen.
"Thank you" smiled Sachi with gratitude.
"She assisted you in your travels, so this is the least I can do, no need for thanks in between us" smiled queen.
"Sachi what is happening?" enquired looking at the cocoons.
"They are evolving, grandmother" replied Queen.
"Evolving?" Lori was new to this term.
However Sachi and Queen did not reply they just smiled at her mysteriously.
After confirming that the horses are fine and escaped death, they decided to stay there for sometime without going out, Sachi thought the problem will be with the food, they cannot eat the roots all the time.
She thought to check something on the panel. However Lori surprised her by showing the food she stored before coming out.
"Like I said do not underestimate your mother, I travelled a lot in my youth so I know how to cope with these situations" she explained smiling.

They spent the days cooking, meditating, creating and learning water and ice magic spells. Lori taught her daughter some defence moves, which Sachi started practicing.
Sachi tried to check for a suitable weapon in the system panel, but when she saw the price tags, Sachi felt like cursing the system. They were good weapons however costly, which she cannot afford right now, "maybe in the future" she thought sighing.
Sachi enjoyed her mother's company a lot. Lori became close to Queen as well as she liked the little bird very much.
Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to a month.
Sachi and her mother stayed in the dimension for more than a month to be on safe side. In the mean time Sachi reached another level and her mother stabilized her new realm.
"Mother I think we can go out now? So shall we return to our mansion?" Sachi asked her mother.
"No, we will not go the Poalm family we will be going to different place."
"Different place? Where?"
"I will show you" she replied with a mysterious smile.
Lori, saw her daughter's improvement and changes for the whole month which were beyond extraordinary. Even though she did not know completely story, Her gut feeling told her daughter is going to reach an unimaginable heights from now own, the best example being the phoenix beside her daughter and this space she is in. "Her talent should not go to waste and a gem should not be wasted in a mud" she quickly decided.
"It is time to return to the place I left a few years back, only there can I help my daughter grow" She thought.
