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.

He turned to the king escorting him and opened his mouth to talk… then stopped. 'What if asking the king this makes him reconsider his decision?' the prince asked the being inside him.

'I was thinking the same thing. Our crime is not a simple one… We should take this blessing as it is,' his phoenix replied.

"You have something to say?" the king asked.

"Huh… no, nothing," Arthur quickly turned pale. The blood drained out of his face and he did his best to hide his thoughts.

"You were never a good liar," the king replied.

Arthur sighed, "I just… wanted to thank you. I…"
