*May sits quietly in the square for a few moment, staring at the golden armor. The soldiers standing close-by, scanning the crowd for any would be assassins or foes. May's Gem glows and begins to float before her. She stares at the soldiers for a few moments and realizes they look exactly the same. After about an hour, she speaks up.*

May: Why won't you three just go away?

Soldier 1: We have been ordered to follow you until our death.

May: Can't i just override that command and tell you to go away?

Soldier 2: No Ma'am. We will take only a set limit of orders from you. It was specified clearly in his Will.

May: Well if you're going to be staying can't you at least tell me your names?

Soldier 3: We have no names. We are what you command us to be. If you feel we need

Soldier 1: names, then so be it. Collectively you may call

Soldier 2: us Pheonix. But apart we have no name.

All 3: We are yours to command.

May: Well, how the hell am i supposed to tell you 3 apart?

Soldier 1: That is

Soldier 2: up to you.

May: So if I give you names you will respond to them

All 3: Yes ma'am!

May: Hmm, well then lets see...collectively you are "Pheonix," but seperately you are nothing. Well I can't just call you one, two, and three. How about Crack, Burn and Ashes.

All 3: Very well. Orders recieved! Names Given!

May: God, just shut up.

All 3: Yes Ma'am!

*She goes back to thinking for a short while. After about a half hour she stands up and flies away. Crack stares at her for a moment before all three jump up onto the rooftops and chase after her. She tries her hardest to get away from her new mini army, but its no use.*

Pheonix: Please come down, you are vulnerable in the air. The Rurikans have spies everywhere.

May: God, Shut the hell up!

Pheonix: Yes ma'am!

*She finally gives up trying to escape them and lands back in the square where she started. Pheonix comes running up to her.*

May: Don't you guys ever get tired?

Pheonix: Never ma'am! We are given the endurance of ten men!

May: So what are you exactly?

Pheonix: We are your guards!

May: Thats not what I meant, I mean you're obviously not human.

Pheonix: We are your guards!

May: But...bah, nevermind. One of you go get me something to drink.

Crack: Yes Ma'am!

*As he runs off May loses herself in thought once again, her Gem glowing brightly, pulsating from time to time.*

May: I just don't think I have what it takes...

Burn: Is there something you require?

May: Oh god...*mumbling* what an idiot...
