His song was what kept the world at peace. He sang while flying all over the world. It radiated joy and happiness for many miles around him. He stopped to rest at only one place, his Nest. There he would die, and be reborn from the ashes, only to circle the world again. All was well with him.
But there were some who were immune from Phoenix's song. Most of these people did not even know they were, and lived their lives as happily as they could, much like the others. But some became thieves, or power hungry, eager to become rich. Most of the time, for them, it was only one of these... but there were three who were all three of these. Alone, these three weren't very dangerous to Phoenix or the other Legendaries, but together they were to be feared. And together they were. These three were Rouska, Atka, and Suka. Rouska was the only female in the Three, and the Mage. Atka was the thief, and Suka was the leader.
One by one, each of the Legendaries' children were stolen. Dragon's son, Griffon's daughter, Segacorn's son, Chimera's daughter, and all the other Legendaries’ children. Until there was only one left to take away, and this was Phoenix’s child.
Because Phoenix's Nest was so hard to get too, the three had saved it for last. They had waited for a time when he was on his rounds, for if he were there, it would only complicate things further. They had not expected the fact that he would return early, however.
Ever since the Legendaries’ children had begun to disappear, Phoenix knew that there would be a time where his own daughter was taken. So he began to make his rounds faster, his song more hurried. Griffon had given him a pouch full of a Magical Dust soon after the disappearance of his own daughter, in the case that Phoenix should find the ones who stole their children. As he neared his Nest, he slowed only slightly, singing a different tune. After awhile, he stopped, and listened intently, as if expecting a reply.
Nothing. Not even a rustle from the trees. Once more he repeated the tune, a slight edge of worry coming to his face. Still nothing. He sped up, flying faster than he had ever gotten before, his song now full of worry. He came to his nest just in time to find the Three. He stopped singing, instantly jerking the pouch around his neck open, ready to drop it on the intruders. And he did, as soon as he was close enough. The contents of the pouch worked instantly. The Three gave a surprised look before disappearing, banished for eternity.
He swooped down, but he had arrived too late. They had already worked their own Magic. His daughter was gone. He emitted one last, mournful not before silencing. No more was his happy tune to be sung, and no more would he do his rounds. For without his daughter, there was no purpose to it.
A wind blew past, circling around him gently. Within the wind, he dimly heard these words: Do not lose all hope, oh Phoenix, Bird of Fire! One day your daughter, and all the other Legendaries’ Children, shall be returned to their rightful places. Until then, Phoenix, mourn! Sing deep within your heart your sorrow, Bird of Fire!
And as a pearl-like tear slid down Phoenix’s cheek, the Reign of Peace ended.

The Three arrived, startled, in a much different area then they had left. All around them, people were hurrying, so engrossed in their own thoughts they had not noticed them appear. The Three checked to make sure they were not hurt, before speaking. Suka was the first to speak, a worried look on his face.
“I lost them. We must have been separated when we were transported. I’m sorry… I just… I don’t have them anymore.” He sighed, glancing around him. “Where are we anyways?”
Rouska had paid no attention to his last comment, only his first. “You lost them? Idiot! Now we won’t be able to retrieve them again!” She raised her hands, a look of anger on her face.
“Rouska! Calm down. We may not be able to retrieve them… but others will. Oh yes… and if we get to them before they get to the Children…” Atka grinned as he finished. “Then we will have all the power we need to return to our true time and take over.”
Rouska nodded. “True. But how will we know who they are?”
Suka glanced over at her. “Oh. We’ll know… they will be very noticeable to us.” And then, with a laugh, the Three started off.

I have no major rules that need to be noted. If you need to ask questions, feel free to ask me. I would appreciate it if you would make your characters, as much like the Legendary whose child they will be rescuing if possible, however it is not necessary. Of course… seeing as how I’m letting you choose the basics on them…
Anyways… here are the Bios.
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Legendaries Child: (It will be your character’s duty to rescue them. I have stated some, which could be used, however, make-ups are welcome! Just tell me what species and other such stuff. I will probably decide the gender of the Child, and may ask quite a few questions if you are using a Make-Up.)
Appearance:
Personality:
Other:
And… my Bios!
Name: Pheore Harran
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Legendaries Child: Phoenix’s Daughter
Appearance: She has bright red hair pulled back in a ponytail. Her eyes are a bright blue. Her clothes are plain, a white t-shirt and blue jeans. She wears a black baseball cap on her head, which helps hold back her ponytail. Freckles lightly dot her face, especially on her cheeks where they are most visible. Her hands are kind of small, and she is of about normal height. Most of the time she has headphones on as well, attached to her Walkman, which rests on the right side of her jeans.
Personality: She is generally calm and happy, however she is also easily made nervous. She is kind of shy, however to close friends she opens up and reveals her true self. She is intelligent, however, doesn’t like to show it, as she usually doesn’t like to be noticed.
Other: She has a twin brother, Paullen. She is a big fan of music, and plays an Ocarina in her spare time; trying to recreate the tune she hears each night in her dreams. Her father works in a zoo, taking care of the Birds and her mother is a huge birdwatcher, so both she and Paullen know a lot about birds. When not listening to music, she is usually reading some fantasy book or other.
Name: Paullen Harran
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Legendaries Child: None. Helps out a lot getting the others, however.
Appearance: He looks a lot the Pheore. He has the same type of hair, similar eyes, and wears almost the same hat. However, he is taller and wears a black shirt and black pants. Around his neck hangs a dog whistle, however, the reason is not known, as they don’t have a dog.
Personality: He’s not shy like his sister is. Other than this, he has pretty much the same personality… calm and happy. He doesn’t get nervous, however, unless it is something really big.
Other: He likes music, though not as much as Pheore. He doesn’t play any instrument at all. He can imitate well, and has already learned to imitate quite a few types of birds as well as some other things. If it’s almost immediately afterwards, he can imitate voices and other sounds fairly well.
And… there’s my stuff. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
