"Tala, you want to nominate yourself? Did I hear you wrong?" Eya was the one who reacted first.

"I mean what I say." Tala bit her lips upon seeing the faces of shock of those around. 'They may not understand why, even if I explain it to them. A fourteen years old girl wanted to venture the human world to find someone and prepare for war. Who would not thought that this is not insane.'

"TALA!" Eya was totally angry. Her face was red and can't be drawn. "Take your words back."

"Uhm, I can't. I already said it."

"Enough!" Tris bellowed.

"The nomination is now equal to three between Tala and Adasa. We just need to have a second nomination between the two." Siya uttered with self-composed.

"Siya is right." Eya speak calmly. "Now, let's begin the second nomination."

"I object!" Adasa know that he's not in a good situation. If the nomination will continue, he, sure will be the one to descend.

"What then?" Eya was enraged upon hearing Adasa's objection.

Adasa look at Tala and said, "Tala, why not let's decide it in a match tomorrow. The one who lose will be the one to be send to the human world." Adasa know that he can't win in nomination, but in a match, atleast he has 40% chance of winning.

"Okay." Tala can't be bother anymore. She just need to volunteer tomorrow. No one will object if it was a volunteer. Although Eya will surely hate her decision, she will support me in no time.

"That's settle then." Sadam heave a sigh of relief.

"Dismissed."

...

'I need to get six feather of the heavenly phoenix but the Head will not allow me for sure. In that case, I need to do it myself. I have time right now, I should head on.' Tala dashed towards a certain direction without a second thought.

In the foot of a mountain, a little girl wearing a white dress was making her way to the top. She slowly walking up not to bother the beasts roaming around. A moment later, she arrive at the top and saw a magnificent gazebo. Inside was a resting silver phoenix.

"Uhm, good evening sir Enix." the little girl uttered.

The phoenix open his eyes. Upon seeing a little girl, he was startled. The Head should be the only one who can visit him, but what would a girl be doing here and she knew his name. Although the mountain looks like an ordinary resting area of beasts, it is actually the place of the Species of Phoenix. The only one who can enter was those who were given permission. Without the permission, one can't enter the said place. All they can see was an ordinary resting place of beasts that's because there were certain energy that separate the resting place of Phoenix.

"What and how did you enter here?" The phoenix asked.

"I know that you are perplexed. But sorry, I can't tell you how for the time being!" The little girl sincerely apologized.

"My name is Tala. I have a request to sir Enix, I hope you can help me." The little girl spoke sincerely as she clasped her first and bow.

"Oh, what can I do for a little girl then?" The phoenix asked curiously. Although the girl can't tell how, she only means for the time being which means, she will say it when the time comes.

"I... I request to sir Enix to lend me six of your 'Guiding Silver Feather'. Don't worry, I will compensate you in the future."

"In the future?"

"Uhm, Yes. In the future. I don't have anything right now." Tala scratched her head while saying this words. She's just a mere 5th cla.s.s guardian. Nothing in her possession was eye-catching for a heavenly silver phoenix.

"Ha, ha, ha!" Sir Enix laughed upon seeing Tala awkwardly saying those words. "I never seen any guardian as gutsy as you."

Tala just smiled awkwardly. She know that her request was something so much for a mere guardian like her but she don't have a choice. She need those feather to find her 'Them'.

"For your courage, I will give you two." The phoenix hand over two feather to Tala. "You may go!"

Upon hearing this, Tala was dazed. She needed six but what could she do. 'That's right. I know where I can find that thing. If I can promise to hand it over to him after 5 years, he will give in to my request.'

"Uhm! sir Enix, I have a clue to the location of the phoenix crown. If you can gave me 4 more feather, I will not waver to find it for you." Tala was totally eager to have the feathers in her possession.

"Are you heading to the human world?"

"Yes!" Tala nodded.

"The feather can't locate an item, you know that, don't you?"

"I know sir Enix."

"In that case, how can I ensure that you'll be able to find it?"

"I read a book about its location but I am not certain. If I can access the library of human and find a confirming clue, then I am 100% sure to find it. I promise to sir Enix to obtain the Phoenix Crown within 5 years." Of course, Tala wouldn't say that she found it in her past life, that's she was sent back from the future? Will the Phoenix believed her? That's out of question.

The phoenix fell silent.

"Do you need an insurance?" Tala asked as she saw sir Enix in silent. She was a little nervous. 'What if sir Enix don't believe me. I can't think any other solution to obtain the "Guiding Silver Feather".'

"Ha, ha, ha!" The phoenix laughed heartely upon seeing the nervous little girl. "No need, I trust every guardian. Guardian maybe arrogant sometimes, but they can be counted in terms of needs and never broke any promises."

"That's true." Tala nodded as she heaved a sigh of relief.

"Here." Sir Enix wave his wings and 4 more feathers fly towards Tala.

"Thank you so much." Tala clasped her first and bowed with grat.i.tude.

The phoenix nodded in satisfaction.

"Uhm! I have a request to sir Enix. I hope you can take care of it!" Tala said with an innocent smile.

"And what would it be?" Sir Enix asked.

"You'll know it sooner!" Tala just smile.

"And what makes you think that I will take care of it?" Sir Enix asked with knitted eyebrows. 'This child is being arrogant. What makes her think that I will do what she asked. I am not just an ordinary phoenix. I am a silver Phoenix.'

Tala chuckled as the silver phoenix gazed with knitted eyebrows. "I know what you're thinking. I am telling you, I am not arrogant. Well, actually it's your choice to respond to my request or not but I will tell you now. You will find the answer in that moment."

"I thank you again!" Tala clasped her fist.

Tala bid farewell to sir Enix and headed towards the heavenly library.

"Huh! What answer she's talking about?" Sir Enix murmured.
