A Man Like None Other

"Since you're from the Ethereal Realm, can you tell me more about it?" asked Jared, filled with excitement.

To his disappointment, Feenix shook her head.

"I can't.Everything about the Ethereal Realm is top secret.I'd be given a divine punishment if I leak it."

Jared's excitement was instantly replaced with dejection the moment he heard Feenix's answer, and he deflated like a balloon.

"Then, why did you lure me all the way here? What exactly do you want?" asked Jared.

"I might be able to transform into a human after eating the sacred fruit, but it can only last for three hours each day.I'd return to being a phoenix for the remaining hours of the day.My master who dumped me here back then told me that I would be able to remain in my human form forever if I consume a drop of dragon blood," explained Feenix.

That was when Jared understood why Feenix brought him there.He knitted his brows.

"You want to consume my blood? But I'm not a dragon.My golden dragon is just created using the Power of Dragons which originates from the draconic essence in my body," said Jared.

He figured Feenix must have mistaken him for a real dragon.
