When Fai opened the door, Kurogane was expecting some damp and musty room, maybe with some ‘immortal flame’ or something. But instead, they were inside a giant glass dome, high in the northern mountains. Within this near impossible enclosure, it was warm and an extravagant garden filled it. Above all the trees, in what Kurogane assumed was the center, was a structure that imitated the Tree back in the temple. “What is that?” He questioned.

“That is where I talk to Mother. We can’t do that yet. Not until tonight.” Fai smiled as he started to walk around and check on the plants. It was pretty much a mini environment, containing a few animals and fruit bearing trees. “In the scriptures, it says that the world was a paradise filled with endless food and water.” He walked over to a pond and ran his hand through it. “My firm belief is that when Phoenix purged the world he skipped the mountains since they are hard to navigate and impossible to live on. So, Mother saved a piece of this paradise and placed it up here. Protected it and conserved it so only those truly deserving can experience the past. As the incarnate of her Son, it seems I deserve to enjoy the paradise that I had supposedly destroyed in the past.” He looked up at Kurogane who gave no response.

It was hard to, honestly. Fai was finally in an environment that suited his looks and personality. Calm, peaceful and beautiful; untouched by human hands and free from its command. Pure paradise that was unsoiled. Yes. This place suited Fai perfectly. In this place he seemed to practically glow and it was then that Kurogane realized this was an extremely holy and secretive place if even the High Priest, the King, didn’t know about it or couldn’t get in. The warrior felt out of place. “Fai. Why am I here?” He asked after many minutes of following him around, letting him talk about the religion and culture and simply basking in this impossible beauty of a man.

Fai turned and looked at him, almost surprised that Kurogane had spoken. The shocked look vanished beneath a smile. “Because…Mother wants to meet you.” He turned his head and brushed some of the wavy gold hair behind his ear.

“That’s a damn lie. Why the hell am I here?”

“It’s not a lie.” He said without looking at him. “Mother asked me to bring you here. She told me. On the twenty third year of my life I was to encounter a red eyed dragon. On the first day he would watch me from a distance, ready to strike. On the second day he would come to my nest and attempt to devour me. On the third day he would be captured and I would be the one to liberate him. On the fourth day he would make me leave my nest. Do you know what it means when a chick leaves the nest, Kuro-ko?” Fai asked softly.

“It means he is ready to fly and be on his own.”

“Correct.” Fai stopped and bent down, picking up a baby bird that had fallen from its nest and he climbed up the tree and put it back in its proper place. “I left the nest and I flew today. I was a leader and my people obeyed me. It may be just because I am Phoenix incarnate but it’s something. Anyways, Mother told me that if I was able to leave the nest and not get hurt and I was able to fly, I was to bring the dragon here. I have no idea what it means. There’s nothing like this in the scriptures. We will have to wait till night.”

Kurogane watched him as he saw something break through that smiling mask of his. A look of fear and worry had played across his face. Sure he hadn’t known this man more than half a day but…Fai had saved him from forever writing scriptures and a life of an exiled Prince becoming a wandering vagrant. There was food in his stomach and a roof over his head. Clothes on his back. And his ‘Master’ was not so high and mighty but humble and down to earth. If it wasn’t for his father, Kurogane was sure Fai would wear normal, commoner clothes, despite that the robes made gave him the regal look he deserved. He was kind and understanding, something that usually the warrior hated but Fai was also stern. This afternoon’s event showed him just that. He didn’t take sides. He knew both parties were to blame and treated it as such. Even with the blood of a god, Fai was still human and he still had fears. The warrior had to say something, anything. He didn’t know why. He just felt compelled, even though Fai didn’t order him to.

“Fai…” Kurogane reached over and touched his cheek. It was soft. The skin was soft and Kurogane didn’t know what to do cause now Fai was nuzzling into it, treating it as though this was the first time he had been touched in his life. Which wouldn’t be a shocker due to his rank and him being a demigod. Too holy to be touched by mortal hands. And-fuck his skin was soft and now those blue eyes were looking right at his own red and his heart was pounding and he just wanted to kiss the man but since was a servant and Fai was a demigod that would probably be a huge no no and-

“Kurogane…”

The man held back a whimper cause they way he just said his name was like ambrosia and he was trying so hard to resist fucking this body that he had been admiring for the last three days and now he was telling himself to fuck it all and kiss the damn blond. He was just about to do that, leaning in as his hand travelled to the back of his neck, fingers tangling themselves in the gold tresses before suddenly Fai turned and pulled away. “Mother will be here soon.” He said, leaving the poor warrior in mid kiss as Fai kept on walking. “Well come on!” He giggled, acting as though this once in a blue moon moment of Kurogane showing a damn soft side was nothing.

Kurogane hardened himself, pissed that Fai treated it like it was nothing. But the initial reaction to his touch told him otherwise. Another crack in the mask. Was that a look of want? Desire? But Fai had told him that no human so far aroused him. So, what was that? Deciding to think about it later, he followed his ‘Master’ to the Tree structure. It was hollow inside with a spiral set of stairs that seemed to go on forever. They made their way up to the highest point. A platform with the winged design much like Fai’s tattoo on the floor, circled within the outstretched branches of the tree. They were so high up, almost twenty feet away from the domed glass ceiling, plus being so high on the mountains, Kurogane felt as though they were at the very doors of heaven. It was dark now. Stars twinkled brightly. Up here, in the clear air, it was like Kurogane had stepped into a whole other world.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?” Fai asked softly.

“Yeah.” Kurogane turned to look at him and blinked. The loose robes had been taken off and set aside, leaving only a belt with two long pieces of cloth covering Fai’s lower parts. Another set of cloth attached to a large medallion (about the size of small plate, like one would eat cake off of) with that Phoenix symbol that seemed to be practically everywhere in this place, laid rested on Fai’s shoulders with the medallion resting on his sternum. A gold band was wrapped on his right bicep, yet another yet thinner cloth attached to that and running down to be attached to a gold ring on his middle finger.

Damn. And here Kurogane thought Fai couldn’t get any more gorgeous…

The blond moved to the center of the platform, the engraved wings glowing a bright blue light as Fai floated off the ground. “Ah!” Kurogane jumped back and looked at Fai. “Fai!”

“It’s alright. I’m entering god mode. I’m safe, as are you.” Fai smiled as those repeated wings appeared as they were as actual things on Fai’s back. The same tribal design, glowing bright as the tattoo itself seemed to spread like a rash, covering Fai in pale blue markings. When Fai opened his eyes, there was a rush, sending Kurogane to his feet and when he gathered his bearings, he found that the two of them were no longer in the dome. They were surrounded by stars. As well as ribbons of colors waving gracefully amongst them.

“What…are those?”

“These are the Aurora Borealis.” Fai’s voice echoed around him and within his head. Frightened, he looked to the Prince who was now hovering a few feet off the platform, glowing bright with those wings outstretched. “These are the remaining flames of Phoenix that the Borealins used to find their way to the Tree. Phoenix’s flames are immortal, so they will always remain.”

Looking back at them, Kurogane couldn’t help but be at ease. For a while he watched them till suddenly one moved and floated around Kurogane. Fai moved, eyes opened and glowing with white light. “I see. Mother wishes to speak to you alone.” He spoke yet his lips remained still.

“What do you mean?” He asked, trying to get the damn light ribbon off him.

“Usually, Mother speaks to me through the Borealis. I assumed she would do that same to you. However, She does not want me part of the conversation. I am immobile in my current state, thus unable to leave you two alone. She is going to take you to her realm in mind, spirit and body. But do not worry. Mother is benevolent. I trust she will take good care of you. Lose your worries and fear and let Mother embrace you. Trust me.” He advised. Kurogane looked at him with slight doubt but he didn’t have much other choice. Nodding at Fai he relaxed and then felt himself black out.

AN: If you have NO idea what the symbolism behind the dragon and phoenix is here then pretty much Fai's explanation as to why Kurogane is even around is going to make ZERO sense to you. And it won't make any sense to you in the canon Tsubasa series. It's symbolism and it has a very significant meaning to them. You can find the explanation here:http://supportkurofai.webs.com/kurofaiiii.htmRead it. Think back to the MANGA and this fic and then slap yourself on the forehead while going "DURR HURR"
