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.

Overwhelming Opponent

Deep within the woods of the Dark Lands, a fearsome battle took place. Shockwaves and tremours shook the ground as two beings fought with fearsome ferocity.

One, a creature of pure obsidian, wreathed in natural armour of resilient onyx scales with little to no genuine metal on his body. This large humanoid shifter was dressed in a casual tight-fitting outfit made of the finest black linen outside of the Wall, a shame to be used in a battle this fierce.

This beautiful attire would not live to be worn another day.

The other fighter was more human-like than his obsidian adversary. In terms of size, he was but a mere rabbit facing off against a jackal.

Surprisingly, however, his retaliation was the reason for the most recent shockwaves. Despite the difference in their size, he made up for it in power.
