All night Tyra thought about what Xander had told her. These were confusing mysteries of Tyra's past. Thankfully, her aunt doesn't seem to notice her niece's gained knowledge. Everyday after school, she met up with Xander to talk about the Three Kingdoms.

Her "brilliant" excuse to her aunt was basketball practice. That meant every time Aunt Tia picked her up, Tyra was competing against Xander, one on one, which she didn't mind. Most likely because she almost, always won.

One typical dusk, as Tyra was retiring for the night, she heard rustling sound near her window. She ignored it and lay in her bed, exhausted. The eerie sound came once again. Tyra sighed and wrapped a pillow around her head, hoping to block out the sound. Thankfully, she fell into a deep sleep.

*******

It's time, Tyra Torrence.
Wake up.
Tyra.
Tyra forced her eyes open. She sat up on her bed and looked around her room.
Tyra.
Her heart began to beat faster as she walked around her bedroom. "Who are you?"
It's time. You have to fulfill the prophecy.
"What?"

A bright light, suddenly illuminated the room. It revealed a bright, fire-colored light shaped as a woman. Her hair flew around her shoulders and flowed past her torso. It glowed brightly like a candle. She was wrapped in a robe with an intricate design of flames. Tyra shielded her eyes from her.

"What-who are you?"
Phoenix, is my name.
"Wh-what do you want from me?"
Tyra, you have to go to Tidal. You need to fulfill the prophecy.
Tyra paused. Phoenix knew about the prophecy.
"How do I know I can trust you?"
I am the creator of the Three Kingdoms. I was the one who created the prophecy. You have to go to Tidal as soon as possible.
Tyra stood there, paralyzed. It took a moment for her to wrap the information around her head.
Oh, and bring Xander along with you.

Phoenix disappeared almost as fast as she appeared.

"Wait, how do I get to Tidal?"

Tyra sighed when there was no answer to her question. She laid back on her bed, tired. There were so many, thousands of questions in her head. Tyra searched for answers in her mind, then fell asleep, tired from pondering.
