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.

Tinge of Red

Arthur rolled onto his back and massaged his aching muscles. His nose was hurt as well but it didn't compare to the pain radiating through his biceps, calves and thighs…

'I thought that damned thing was a simulation,' Arthur cursed the Sorting test as he forced himself up. He staggered a bit before he found his balance.

Taking one more look at the vandalised room, he sighed and entered the bathroom to perform his morning ablutions.

He then packed his bag and dressed in his uniform. The Barthlorn uniform was a perfect fit, comprising a white green-collared shirt, a green sweater and navy blue trousers. 

He found a few spare green cloaks in the closet but chose to leave them behind before packing the 'Age of Phoenixes' and walking out of his room with a leather bag slung over one shoulder.
