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.

Tailored Discoveries

Darius flipped through the book, opening blank page after blank page until he fell onto a passage with an introductory title in stylish gold gleaming letters:

First Shift.

A phoenix's true journey begins after its first shift. Dormant strengths and powers are unlocked and a well of flames laying dormant finally becomes accessible to the phoenix.

The First Shift brings forth the possibility of flight and increases the potency of a phoenix's flames tenfold.

That said, there is a significant difference between the First Shift and the Half Shift.

A phoenix that has never been through the First Shift and merely bears the power of a half shift is like a flightless bird trying to flap wings tattered with holes."

Darius paused, "Have you ever seen a phoenix go through a half-shift?"
