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.

Sibling Rivalry

The pair travelled in an odd ambience. Shifting between random short topics and suggestions that lasted seconds and still tense silence.

Every now and then, the silver-haired girl stole glances in the prince's direction only to retract when Arthur turned to her.

The prince pretended not to notice, scouring through his mind for conversation topics while he tried to ignore the odd behaviour.

The first time they'd met had been different from this. Back then, Arthur was curious about anything and everything his eyes saw…

Thinking back on it now, he could see how that behaviour could have been termed as… 'pestering.'

Then again, Lucy had paid him back in full by vanishing at her first opportunity. Arthur couldn't blame her. She had saved him from bouncing through the RuneTrain at the mercy of gravity and questionably fortified glass.

In the prince's mind, they were even.
