*continued from 'hoenix 1 'Of Fire...''* When Lira'en saw what became of her love, she rejoiced. He had become a beautiful creature, burning with its own flame, but untouched by it! Lira'en, an ice Dragon, whished to share the same fate as Isilicath, and so she, too, embraced her body with her own ice-cold fire, and she burned with the same icy flame. And so of Dragon flame was the Ice Phoenix born! The two attempted to intertwine their necks in love, but the result was pure pain. His Fire bit at her Ice, her coldness stung his heat! Each began to feel extreme pain and discomfort while in the presence of the other, and so they sadly parted, seeing each other only from afar. Now they were truly of fire and ice.
