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.

The Thing About Control

Unlike the Earth Battle Arts, the Air Battle Arts comprised a vast collection of quick and complicated patterns that tasked the body's flexibility, agility, endurance and physical might heavily.

One had to keep in mind that being light on your feet and swift with your execution of each predetermined step was paramount to properly master the Air Battle Arts.

On top of all that, the patterns through which one would have to send their flame essence flowing through their bodies got significantly harder.

The Earth Battle Arts required one to fill themselves with the essence from their core and let it coalesce, adding tremendous weight and durability to their bodies.

The Air Battle Arts were almost the exact opposite. Essence flowed out of the Flame core in small bursts spreading with seasoned precision to the right muscles before reinforcing them at the right moment with a pulse that was supposed to be timed and in sync with one's actions.
