Alba had went to the Anfauglir Desert for a change, now in his Phoenix form he was flying over the sand looking downas the soft winf blew some of the sand all over the place. It was a good place to be alone and Alba was happy that he had gotten away from all the others for a little bit. His phoenix form was not like a normal phoenix, instead of being fully red, this bird was both a deep red and also had black within it. A one of a kind phoenix if ever there was one.

In a sunny day the harsh winds blew violently against Yumi’s soft pale skin. Her slender left arm shielded her black eyes from the merciless wind. Her journeys of a cleric often put her in these types of weather. Nothing seemed too unnatural as she walked upon the hot sand, in her white shoes. Being a Keeper she had a responsibility which was very important to her, and often required her to wonder in the land of Arda. Seeking for tired hands wishing for help, those hands she would hold on to and pull them towards the holy light which was awaiting them. Only if that wished it of course, for there was no reason to ever force anyone to do anything. Especially change their ways.

Alba had always had a link with the Keepers by being the brother of Zenith Meria, the keepers third member. Alba then soon seen the small figure of Yumi walking within the desert, this was just to perfect and to good a chance to pass up. Alba was not sure if Yumi had ever met him before, and thus was not sure if she would know he was Zeniths brother. Then again, in the form of his Chaos Phoenix Alba should be safe enough for the time being. With this in mind the large bird began to make its way towards the figure of Yumi.

A sharp sound of wind increasingly inclosed her, and the half breed was unaware of what it was. Her cross amulet against her neck tingled, but she couldn’t sense where this evil energy was coming from. Swiftly the sand spun around her feet, and she felt like something was going to catch up with her if she didn’t move. So Yumi began to run in the sand Strom, because she wasn’t going to face a foe in this type of weather. At least she wasn’t going to go out of her way, if the being caught up with her. So be it.

Alba seen the angel running off and in turn went after her. His Phoenix form proving to small in this weather the Phoenix turned into his true form. A large red being with huge wings and a full set of the Bloodshed armour, the beast now also had a large scythe on his back and a blade hanging at his side. The scythe was a reforged Dark Blade while the sword was a Longsword of Bloodshed, it was clear the chaos phoenix was ready for combat in a moments notice. His large bearing wings then ingnited in flames as Alba drew closer to Yumi. Now with his sword in hand.

Yumi frantically moved her arms in front of her as if she was swatting flies. Panic touched her soul as she tried to see though the thick sand which was being helped by fierce winds. Of course she didn’t know that the winds were mainly caused by her attacker. But as quick as the winds had been born, Yumi, carelessly tripped over a small mound of sand; falling helplessly to the soft, yet rough ground. Feeling intense fear, she covered her head with both her hands to protect herself, even if it was near impossible. Oh please I hope I live to see Avennian’s face just one more time. She thought to herself as darkness leached in her mind, as she passed out.
