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.

Cautionary Tale Within the Wall

Arthur considered the professor's words for a bit, allowing Darius to read the runes for him. This soon proved problematic when Darius read words like 'Immolating Projectile' and others like 'Timely Meltdown.'

The Warlock did his best to decipher the runes but there were only so many ways he could translate the weapon's properties without changing the meaning of the runes that had been used to craft them.

Many times, as he tried to explain, his mind concocted simpler ways his oversimplification could have been written, rendering it mute.

There were even times when the Arcanium's son simply told Arthur to put a lance down without explaining what the runes said. Trusting his friend, Arthur left those kinds of lances alone.

In the end, Arthur resorted to testing out those that sounded interesting to him or those that made no sense to him at all, which was… a lot of them.
