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 IceWing Sanctum

The inside of the Headmaster's office was nothing like Arthur thought it would be.

  Instead of having a pile of books, a few figurines and trophies like that of Principal Snow Cone back in Alcove.

This office had an older, more natural feeling to it. The room smelt of fresh mint and cinnamon whilst still retaining the damp concrete smell of the walls.

In contrast to its outside entrance, it was much larger and more spacious than Arthur had assumed.

A large window… no, a large gaping hole on one side of the room stretched out to the largest balcony the prince had ever seen, letting in a chilling stream of air.

Arthur squinted his eyes for a moment as he noticed a few oddities about the balcony.

After taking a closer look, his eyes widened when he realised what it was.

Steel cables and girders curved around the semicircular disk that was the landing pad leading into the IceWing Sanctum.
