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.

Arthur's Warm Welcome

Arthur ran up the stairs to the Squad Six Common room faster than he'd ever done so, his heart nearly bursting out of his chest.

Halfway up, he stopped for a breather, cursed the bronze cuffs on his hands, and then continued his sprint up the tall tower.

'I think we can agree that your excitement is more deadly than your cuffs right now,' Arthur's phoenix rolled its eyes.

It wasn't long before he set his eyes on the large double doors, then stopped to catch his breath. Arthur's phoenix eyesight easily cut through the dimly lit hallway to crest the symbol carved into the doors.

The insignia of Squad Six had once bothered Arthur… but now, he knew what it meant. He'd seen this creature so many times by now, touched it and even bonded with it.

Squad Six's insignia was a benevolent Solaris Wyrm, captured in its magnificent glory mid-flight.
