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.

Signs of a Prodigy

At the advent of the race through the Dryer Woods, all hell had broken loose. Not all members of this group of eight were equal in speed… and so, significant gaps were created between them… with a few of them bursting forward faster than the others could follow.

Anthony, Tristan and Theodore easily fell behind and quickly grew extremely tired from the strain of trying to keep up… or rather, Anthony's strain of trying to keep up. Damien's jab had opened a can of worms and destroyed any semblance of order that existed within the eight first years.

After the start of the race, a decisive gap had grown between them and the leading four, growing only larger as time went on. It didn't matter how fast they ran… The leading four simply vanished from sight… and the gap only kept growing.

Anthony and Tristan collapsed moments later, panting wildly with exhaustion. The trio's progress halted and they tried their best to catch their breaths.
