[Your character may have just entered the Enchanted Forest, or they may have been wandering for a while. Regardless of where they are or what role they’ve taken, a Phoenix the size of a large eagle descends from a nearby perch and gently glides in a circle around them. Its plumage illuminates any darkness with an orange hue that's accompanied by a gentle warmth. Despite its size, there's no sense of dread in how it moves, and it's far from intimidating. Quite the opposite--this is a benevolent presence.]
[As the Phoenix floats around, it recites a song. Those who are familiar with Joshua will recognize his voice. It’s warped, like it's softly echoing in on itself, but it clearly belongs to him.]
"In a realm of dreams where tales twirl, To a prince, asleep, three paths unfurl. His golden hair kissed by the sun, Unlock his past with spell undone.
Red vibrant flames obey His Grace, A blessing he will one day efface. Black shadows hang in midnight air, Carrying grief and sorrow beyond compare. White moonbeams share their silent plea, Awake the prince, set his memories free.
The Path of Crystal, clear and bright, Hold your head high or fall prey to Blight. The Path of Wind, a relentless storm, A mother’s whisper manifests in scorn. The Path of Acceptance, where courage wanes, Your flaws to face and break your chains.
Red, black, white, and gold unite, Step forward now, oh bravest knight, Prepare your heart, prepare to fight, Choose your path, bring truth to light."
[The Phoenix lands in front of your character and tilts its head. Although still not a foreboding creature, it's clear from how its sapphire-like eyes sharpen that there's no moving forward until it gets a response.]
Which will you choose?
Dream Board: Whatsa-Neko-mata with you?
[Although Joshua is more familiar with dogs than cats, he’s learned a thing or two over time, and he thankfully has a general affinity towards animals. Spirit cats, however, aren't exactly common.]
[Still, he has to work with what he knows, and he's brought a friend along for the ride. On the topic of where to track down a regular cat, quiet places with easy exits come to mind (and he can relate). It stands to reason that a spirit would retain those preferences. So that’s where he suggests they start.]
[Reverein’s evening streets prove vacant enough to pose little disturbance to any wayfaring feline. Knowing that this scampish sprite has been stealing trinkets, he makes sure to carry a handmade charm as bait. He doesn't seem to have brought a trap.]
Hopefully our friend doesn’t mind shoddy craftsmanship.
[The charm is made of what seems to be a handful of glowing red, orange, and blue feathers. Where did he get those from? Don’t worry about it.]

Unlock his past with spell undone.
Red vibrant flames obey His Grace,
A blessing he will one day efface.
Black shadows hang in midnight air,
Carrying grief and sorrow beyond compare.
White moonbeams share their silent plea,
Awake the prince, set his memories free.

Hold your head high or fall prey to Blight.
The Path of Wind, a relentless storm,
A mother’s whisper manifests in scorn.

Your flaws to face and break your chains.
Red, black, white, and gold unite,
Step forward now, oh bravest knight,
Prepare your heart, prepare to fight,
Choose your path, bring truth to light."
