THE ORIGINAL
PHOENIX

In the darkness of the night, a handsome young man with a proportionate body was looking at the reflection of moonlight on a lake. The man was daydreaming about something without realizing that someone was watching him.

Arthur took a large stone, hugging it. On the count of three he jumped into a deep lake.

BYURR!!!

Both of Arthur's eyes opened, in the midst of his death he saw a beautiful girl swimming towards him. The girl smiled sincerely at Arthur while saying that she loved him very much.

Pink approached the edge of the lake where Arthur jumped earlier, the beautiful witch stared at the clock in her left hand as she looked towards the surface of the lake.

"One... Two... Three..." Pink started counting. "Four... Five... Six...."

BLARR!!!

The surface of the lake gives off a burning flash of fire, white smoke puffs soaring high and lost in the wind. Pink's lips smiled when she saw Arthur swimming among the flames towards the edge of the lake.

"Why have you been doing this so much lately?" Pink reached out her hand to help Arthur.

"Do what??" Arthur grabbed Pink's hand.

"Suicide like this, isn't it painful??"

"There's one person I want to meet" Arthur wiped his wet face. "And he only showed up when I was about to die!"

"That's weird!"

"You're right!" The man smiled and then stood up immediately. "Why are you here anyway??"

"Oh, Landon's looking for you"

"You called your own father by his name?" Arthur chuckled, he rubbed Pink's head gently. "Where is he??"

"He's in the workspace!"

Arthur is a supernatural creature with a type of Phoenix or fire bird. Phoenix itself has a very special ability such as being able to heal its own wounds. The phoenix is also an immortal being, so even though Arthur had already tried several times to kill himself and die, he would soon come back to life.

Landon, Pink and Peach find Arthur inside an abandoned house. At that time Arthur who was 12 years old had to endure his fear of being locked in a room for a full month. The two parents who adopted him left the house without unlocking Arthur's room.

At that time Arthur was close to his death, but a miracle happened. The three witches were shocked when they saw Arthur's body slowly turning into hot ash and then emitting a lot of smoke and suddenly burning. When the fire was extinguished and made the ash harden, from the ashes came out the figure of Arthur who was still fit.

From there Landon finds out what kind of creature Arthur is? Again he found it in a mythological book, where it is written that Arthur's characteristics are very similar to the legendary firebird fairy tale, the Phoenix.

Geck!

Geck!

Geck!

There was no answer from inside Landon's office. Before Arthur touched the doorknob, the door opened and Peach came out of the room, the cold-faced girl glanced at Arthur at a glance and left without greeting.

What's the matter with me? - Arthur.

Arthur enters the room, seeing Landon sitting on the sofa reading a book with some magic lights flying around for lighting.

"You looking for me?"

Landon glanced at Arthur at a glance and then refocused. "Right, there's something we need to talk about!"

"What??" The handsome man sat in front of Landon.

"How did all the teenagers at the party die in such a horrible way?"

"I don't know"

"It's weird" Landon closed the book he read. "Only you and one other survivor, there's no way you don't know?!"

"In fact, the magic of the creature cannot be detected by my daughters"

Arthur let out a long sigh, he rubbed his face with a huff. That guy doesn't know what to say? Because he's also not sure what creature has slaughtered all the naughty teenagers at the party.

"All I know is that he resembles an animal" Arthur closed his eyes to remember. "As a dog as possible, or greater than that"

"So you think there's still a rogue wolf roaming the city??" Landon raised his eyebrows. "Is that??"

"I'm not sure"

"Don't come to that human school again, and if you can get out of that job"

"What?" Arthur's surprised. "Why??"

"I told you, right?! Don't approach humans, why don't you still hear my ban?!"

"Hey, this is my life! I want to have a lot of friends too!"

"What kind of friends will you get while you're still dressed up in geeky clothes, you even act like you're an idiot" Landon said sternly, the man stared intently at Arthur who was silent at his words.

"I...." Arthur lowered. "I don't know, it's just like an order from my head"

"............." Landon fell silent, he returned the book to a shelf by flying. "Continue!"

"As if I had experienced this before, I was wrong in choosing a friend" said Arthur. "It's like I've been betrayed by someone, but I don't remember it at all"

"Ok, listen to me!" Landon started to sound authoritative. "So far all I know is that you might just be the reincarnation of someone I've met"

"REINCARNATION???" Shouted Arthur loudly, he hurriedly closed his lips. "What do you mean??"

"Yeah... I also just found out not too long ago anyway" Landon leaned his shoulders to be more relaxed. "But the man I'm talking about died 120 years ago"

Both of Arthur's eyes glared sharply at Landon, he did not think that Landon's speech was right considering the face of Landon who sometimes smiled like he wanted to prank himself.

"You want to lie to me?"

"No! I'm serious!" Landon said firmly. "Do you want to hear the story?"

"What story??"

"The man's story" Landon smiled warmly as he recalled the face of his old friend, Fuu. "The man's love story with a mermaid"

"P-mermaid??" Arthur was surprised. "Are they real?"

"You're stupid, aren't you?! Creatures like us are real, why aren't they?"

"ah! Sorry, I was just so shocked" Arthur said softly.

Landon begins the story, telling Arthur only what he knows and when he meets Fuu. Not to forget, Landon also told about the figure of Tribrid who had been born and had shaken the world of darkness.

"I was there, but I was late!" Landon said glumly. "If you're really the reincarnation of that man, I'm really sorry"

"Hey, I don't even know who I am? Who my biological parents are and what my past is, I don't remember my childhood at all" Arthur said.

"Why, I'm sure that in your previous life you were the one the mermaid loved" Landon chuckled. "No! Not a mermaid, she is a Goddess"

The mermaid goddess? - Arthur.
