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.

Morning Drill

On Arthur's way to the Mess Hall, he noticed many of the phoenixes giving him odd looks. The air about him had taken a dramatic turn.

Whether for better or worse, he did not know. The normally warm smiles of the adults were now masked with indecipherable expressions that went unexplained. Arthur's mind, naturally, leaned towards it being 'nothing good.'

The phoenixes from his age group were acting even more suspiciously. Normally, they would make a snide remark, glare, roll their eyes or at least sneer when he locked eyes with them, but this morning was different.

They all quickly looked away from him and carried on with their activities, like they'd not even seen them.

The tense atmosphere in the castle made it hard for him to comfortably be his loner self, 'Huh, I'm having trouble being a loner! Never thought that was a possibility.'
