Sara

Olympia

Sara found that she had many thoughts about her first day as a new recruit to the Hunters of Artemis as she walked through the crammed streets and back towards the lower ring of the city.

She learned about more facts and rumors than she ever had in the past year roaming the city streets. The Phoenix King was alive, or at least someone was claiming to be this person. The city was currently hiding a phoenix egg under the Olympian Keep. And now there was a Necromancer hiding somewhere in the capital.

Before she left for the day, Ashly had promised Sara that she had already sent out some Hunters to start looking for anyone who could be this Necromancer but the two of them would begin their thorough search tomorrow morning.

When Sara entered the house she saw that Rayla was fast asleep in her cage and could hear her father’s heavy breathing coming from the nearby room. She quietly peaked through the ajar door to see her father clearly still in pain from whatever dark magic that had taken a hold on him.

After she had got herself situated for bed, Sara decided to make her way up to the roof of their building and watch the stars. As she looked up she noticed how clear the sky was that night. Sara did not star gaze often but when she did she enjoyed every second of it.

“Got room for one more?” a voice called out from bellow.

Sara looked bellow and saw that Boris was looking up at her and was all dressed in his armor for his night shift that was due to begin at any minute.

“Don’t you have somewhere to be?” Sara teased at the guard.

“I still got a couple minutes until my shift starts,” he smiled back.

“Then get on up here,” Sara waved at him.

Boris climbed up the side of the building and took a seat next to Sara as their feet dangled off the roof. Boris did not say anything as he too decided it was best to look upon the clear night and stars in silence.

“Is your father doing any better?” Boris broke the silence.

Sara shook her head, “not at all. It seems as if he is just getting worst by the day. I fear he doesn’t have much time left.”

“And I’m guessing you and that Ashly have some sort of plan laid out?”

“Barely,” Sara sighed. “All I know is we have to kill the Necromancer that infected my father and the only way to do that is through phoenix fire. So, it seems impossible almost.”

“I wouldn’t say impossible,” Boris suggested. “I am familiar with the story of the Necromancy War. Many believe it was phoenix fire that killed the Necromancers but it was the magical properties that did the deed. You don’t need a phoenix or fire to defeat them. You just need magic.”

“How do you know this?” Sara demanded as Boris had her full attention now.

“Let’s just say I have some knowledge about magic,” Boris grinned.
