Max's POV

'Where am I?'

'Don't worry. You are safe. I just needed to talk to you,' replied a female voice.

I turned around and saw the most beautiful woman.

'Who are you?'

'I am Lazra. Most commonly known as the Moon Goddess.'

I was shocked.

'Why are you talking to me? Am I finally getting punished for what I did to my sister? I wish I never did it. I was just so…'

'Hush now child. You are not getting punished. I am here to talk to you about her. She is alive. Her heart rate is just too soft to sense. She will wake up in due time. For now, she needs to get to know herself. Do not question anything, for you will get answers soon. Goodbye for now.'

And with that, I was sent back to the living.

I woke up with a start. I needed to see my sister.

Before I could get up, I was held back by my father.

"What are you doing?"

"I have to go see Tazanna!"

I rushed out of the hospital wing and ran to her room.

There, she laid. She looked dead. I focused on her heartbeat and faintly heard it. I nearly jumped for joy.

"What are you doing?" asked my father, out of breath.

He must have chased me here.

"Listen. Try to hear her heartbeat. It is their"

We were sitting by her bed when a light showed up.

I was prepared to protect Tazanna when I saw what it was.

"P-phoenix?"

' Yes Max, it is me. I must warn you, she will not trust you when she wakes up. She is very traumatized by what you have done to her. I don't even fully trust you. But, Lazra said I could trust you two, so I will. She is very special. Like her mother. All your answers will be answered if you find the Wisdom pack. Bring us there and we will have the strength to return to the living.'

And just like that, she was gone.

"Son? What happened?"

"We have to find the Wisdom pack. Phoenix said it will answer all our questions."
