Ancient Enemy

The mark on the boy's back, it's of an ancient evil long thought vanquished. I remember it from the tome in my temple, the tome that was stolen from us four months ago. Now that I've finally gotten some sleep, I'm able to think more clearly about this. What little I can remember is that the cult was ran by an egotistical fanatic that made himself out to be a god, even going as far as trying to throw off death and make himself and his followers immortal.
That was the first time the temple was attacked, not that it was much of a temple at that time. The followers of Hel waere just putting themselves together. Her first champion, the founder of the temple, led the charge and killed the fanatic. How would this Cyrus know the mark? Why would he? It is ancient. Then again, so are the Phoenix's.
"I'm sorry, little one." I whisper into Weiss' head, lightly kissing his hair. "I wish I could help more but this is beyond what I know. If my father or one of the elder clerics were here, maybe they'd know. This ancient evil, how has it returned?"
"Because he never left." I turn to see Juniper standing behind me, clearly having woken. "And why are you making breakfast and carrying the child? Sit, I'll handle the cooking."
"There's no cooking left to be done." i argue as Juniper pulls out a chair for me to sit on. "And what do you mean he never left? My people's tome showed that he died."
"Your people's history is incomplete, which is not surprising as the pieces you're missing involve my people." Juniper forces me to sit, Wiess' feet bouncing against my lower legs as I do. "To keep it brief..."
"Not something you're known for." She gives me a look.
"To keep it brief, this ancient enemy your people fought was Cyrus, when he was a mortal. He returned to this world an immortal phoenix. His ways never changed and he rebuilt his cult in our homeland. Now he's reaching out, probably in an attempt to overthrow Lord Flamehart." She gets down on my level, looking me in the eyes. "Your ancient enemy is my lifelong one. You will need to learn to overcome your fear of me in order to defeat him, perminently."
