Rising from the Flames… The Phoenix looks out of her war ravaged lands. Her armies unexpectedly defeated. Her populace has returned to their homes. As she flies, her other head spies something else. “Look! Every week our archers are out. Their targets are collecting so many arrows that they have more feathers than we do. Let us take heart.” “Just as it is in our nature to turn to flames, only to be reborn, so will our archers rise from the flames.”
