Phoenix of Calamity

In a world overrun by supernatural creatures and magic, phoenixes are known to be 'extinct' creatures of a distant past that were commonly referred to as 'Creatures of Calamity' and yet, contrary to that belief, they were also known to be creatures of sublime peace and indomitable mental fortitude. Our main character, Arthur is one of two princes of the Phoenixes. Born into a race that must remain hidden, lest they risk losing their lives to their mortal enemies, the Dragons. As life in the castle becomes more 'suffocating', the prince sets his sights on something... interesting. Barthlorn School of the Supernatural: An elite academy meant to train only the best to fight the Dark Forces of the Supernatural. Hunters, Dragons, Shifters, Warlocks, Healers, Magic and so much more are to be found within the walls of the great School. With so much to learn and so little to lose by doing so, the prince seeks adventure within the walls of the Academy. Like all oblivious main characters, nothing prepares him for the adventures he will find at great school. Nothing prepares him for the strength of the bonds he creates there... and with those bonds comes the frailty of his race's most sacred secret. Revealing the existence of his kind could quite literally mean death for all phoenixes. ............................. PS. The cover photo is not mine.

Battling a Family of Demon Bears

Callum's legs went numb bit by bit as he forged on ahead. Placing all his trust in the words of his captain, the swordsman drew on the last of his energy.

If he could only make it to the light outside the cave, then surely he'd be safe… he told himself. In a situation as dire as what he faced, a little hope went a long way.

As he shot past the two demon bears barring his way to the entrance, seeds of doubt began to creep into his mind.

'Too late to turn back now!' gritting his teeth with defiance, Callum persevered and sent the last of his mana into the enchanted katana.

The largest of the demon bears, unfazed by his sudden burst in speed, left the cracks it had created in the barren ground and lunged forward, biting at the dashing figure.

The beast's maw brushed the fabric of Callum's attire before the student accelerated faster still, putting more distance between himself and the beast.
