Having witnessed the power of the phoenix I feel happy to be alive. Texia looks much more agitated. I come up to her and using a special tool I extract some of her venom that she makes in excess and carefully clear some of her loosening scales (both of which are invaluable in my defending myself and trading). This act of grooming her calms her down and despite her hunger she crawls back under my cloak and once again it is like she isn't even there. Maybe if I find a rat or some more of those birds I will coax her out to hunt.

I choose a random door since i have no idea what I can expect to find on the other side. My mind focused on Telivar. I hope to be able to stop these cataclysmic events but also hope that such an end doesn't cost Telivar his life(and an equal concern for my own).
