"Hey, what's the name of this masterpiece?" Chloe looked up at Allan with a small smile playing on her face.
Then, she shifted her gaze to the perfume bottle on the table, lifting her head.
The judges watched with anticipation as she finally took a deep breath and said clearly,
"It's called 'The Firebird'."
Her voice was cool and calm, but it sent shockwaves through the judges sitting in front of her.
"The Firebird?"
"The Firebird?"
They murmured, looking back at Chloe.
Chloe nodded, softly explaining, "The Firebird. It’s a mythical bird from Arabian folklore. When the sun ignites the aromatic woods that have been accumulating for six hundred years, the Firebird would flap its wings, plunging into the flames, burning itself. When the Firebird burns, it gives birth to a new little Firebird in the flames. The Phoenix reborn from the ashes!
“Legend has it, the Phoenix is a messenger of happiness. Every five hundred years, it would take all the unhappiness and hatred in the world, throw itself into the fire, and trade its life and beauty for peace and happiness in the world.
“Only after enduring great pain and trials, can they be reborn in a more beautiful form. The Phoenix reincarnates from the flames with its feathers fuller, its voice clearer, and its charm more intense.
“Betrayal, hurt, sadness, pain, and helplessness, all become issues of the past.
“Rebirth from the ashes, is a new self. It’s new hope, and endless possibilities... it's the happier soul we hope to have."
Chloe finished speaking calmly. A gentle smile unknowingly appeared on her beautiful face.
The judges were enthralled. Their inner turmoil was unable to settle long after hearing her words.
"The Firebird! Rising from the ashes! Yes! That's it! I finally understand the deeper meaning of passion, ashes and rebirth!" Allan was so excited he was practically jumping.
