Phoenix

Worry not, for when I die I’ll be reborn in fire.

It’s been this way for countless aeons. You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve seen of this world and its wonders, empires rising and falling, every moment a treasure. And the future’ll be even grander.

It’s truly a life of surprises. Eternal life of infinite surprises.

So cry not for me here upon my deathbed, this death is but a fleeting small thing.

Cry instead for yourselves. Because when I’m reborn, in fire, the flames will take most of this city out with me.

And you, friend, shan’t be reborn.
