...It all started with a story told around a campfire by a young girl who looked after the children at the summer camp. ...

...A long time ago, Phoenixes lived in our lands. But among them, there were a few more special ones. ...

...Three of them were really different. The first had the power of fire, the second that of air, and finally, the last also had the power of fire. ...

...These Phoenixes lived in peace and harmony, but certain malicious people wanted to seize their powers for their own gain. To protect their heritage, they hid in the wild with all their knowledge and never returned. ...

...The children were fascinated by the story the young girl was telling, then one of them exclaimed:...

First child: Wow, this story is incredible.

...With a big smile, she answered him. ...

...???: It's true that she is incredible, but the story is not over. ...

...One of his friends then asked him:...

...???: How so ? ...

...The girl replied:...

...???: There is a legend which says that among these exceptional phoenixes, there is another one just as remarkable, but which does not resemble the others, and that is the black phoenix. ...

...Everyone was surprised and exclaimed in unison: The black phoenix!? ...

...She then continued speaking and added:...

...??? : Yes, he was the first in his family to have this color. His people were afraid of this color, because it was said to attract evil, so they rejected it. ...

...Another child asked him a question. ...

...Second child: What happened with the black phoenix? ...

...The girl then responded. ...

...??? : Sad, with a heart filled with hatred and sorrow, he walked away and disappeared forever. ...

...Then, one of his friends spoke in a sad voice, with tears in his eyes. ...

...??? : What a sad story. He doesn't deserve to be treated like that. ...

...The young girl then added:...

??? : No one deserves this. You should never judge someone because of their color.

...Then the wisest of them, who only believes in knowledge, said to them:...

...??? : Even if this story is absurd, because the phoenix does not exist, I would have liked to live at that time to be able to study it. ...

...Then, the most daring of the group responded enthusiastically. ...

...???: Stop with your explanations, Sarah, I'm sure there are some somewhere. ...

...Another added:...

...???: I would love to find some. ...

...Sarah replied sarcastically:...

...Sarah: And where do you plan to look for these mythical creatures, Saphie? ...

...Saphie then replied:...

...Saphie: I don't know. ...

...Sarah: You don't know, but you want to go for it without thinking. Even if science tells me not to do it, I admit that I would also like to find some. ...

...Her friends laughed a lot at her reaction, but she, not finding it funny, blushed with embarrassment and said:...

...Sarah: Why are you laughing? It's not nice to make fun of your friend. ...

...It was then that the most thoughtful of them replied:...

...???: Sorry Sarah, that wasn't mean. ...

...Sarah: Hmm. ...

...Sarah blushed with embarrassment, turned around without looking at them. Saphie, the sweetest of the group, then said:...

...Saphie: Sarah sulks. ...

...Then the bravest of the group came up to Sarah, patted her on the back and said:...

...???: Come on, Sarah, it was just for fun. What if instead of being sullen, you came with us to look for the phoenixes? ...

...Sarah then asked him. ...

...Sarah: How do you like these Phoenixes, Stella? ...

...Stella replied casually. ...

...Stella: I don't know, we'll see along the way. ...

...Sarah sighed and said:...

...Sarah: It's not possible to be so naive. ...

...But a glimmer of hope appeared when their friends showed them the map that leads to the Phoenixes. ...

...??? : There is always the map if you are interested, it will take you directly to the Phoenix lair. ...

...The girls were delighted to learn this. They were so excited that they thanked Sasha for the card. ...

...Saphie and Stella said: Thank you, Sasha. ...

...A few seconds later, they began to gather their things, just the bare minimum, to go find a phoenix, even though it was already dark. They really wanted to find one. ...

...After getting ready, they left saying goodbye to Sasha and the children, but before they left, Sasha said something to them. ...

...Sasha: Don't come home too late tonight. ...

...Sarah, Saphie and Satella: Promise. ...

...The girls took the path to look for the Phoenixes. They arrived in the forest by carefully following the map. Then Sarah said:...

...Sarah: According to the map, we need to find a stone that looks like a large ring. ...

...As she spoke, Stella was right in front of the ring and said:...

...Stella: Like this one? ...

...They turned around and saw a large stone ring, then they exclaimed. ...

...Sarah: Yes, that's it, well done Stella. ...

...Stella was very proud of herself, she rubbed her nose with her finger and blushed. Then, Saphie asked:...

...Saphie: And now, what do we do? ...

...Sarah then replied:...

...Sarah: Let's look for clues, there must surely be some. ...

...They started looking for clues, but without success. Then, suddenly, Saphie leaned over a strange rock and the ground shook beneath their feet. Sarah, panicked, exclaimed:...

...Sarah: What's going on? ...

...After that, they were buried underground. They seemed to be sucked downward and were sliding down the rock like on a slide. During this adventure, they separated. ...

...Each of them found themselves alone in a strange place. Sarah recognized this place and called her friends. ...

...Sarah: Girls, are you there? ...

...But no one answered. It was the same for Stella. ...

...Stella: Where have I fallen again? ...

...Suddenly, a large and majestic phoenix appeared behind them, surprising them greatly. Stella was facing the fire phoenix, Sarah was facing the air phoenix and Saphie was facing the water phoenix. ...

...They were impressed. The fire phoenix spoke and addressed Stella. ...

...Fire Phoenix: What is it? Where does this invader come from? ...

...Faced with such a spectacle, the girls remained frozen and exclaimed:...

...Sarah, Saphie & Stella: A phoenix!? ...

...They had finally found the phoenixes they were looking for. ...
