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.

In Fighting?

The students returned to the Control Room as told and awaited the professor's instructions.

As witnesses to the inconceivable outcome of Squad Four's drill in the Time Dilation Chamber, the chatter was all ablaze as students recounted events of the exercise like an episode from a weekly released novel.

Arthur's head pulsed with a dull ache from the strain of having to watch Sullivan's team fighting the drakon.

For the prince, Sullivan's improvements were the equivalent of having his own fighting style and mind eviscerated to the bone and replicated from the ground up.

What he'd taken years, decades with hours of daily training and persistence to hone and perfect had taken the human the span of one time-dilated day.

In fact, it could have been three hours.

Of course, the prince only compared Sullivan to a version of himself without the use of his flame core.
