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.

Worse Ways to Experience Pain

Arthur's hands finally stopped fidgeting. His jitters came to a standstill as well. Seated before him was a visage of death… or was it a visage of a neverending battle against it.

A beautiful girl wrapped in bandages and surrounded by a white aura of everpresent healing magic. Captain Crystal's smile bore no sorrow… Instead, she seemed happier than ever…

But Arthur couldn't bring himself to think of her as anything but happy. She was ill… trapped with her life hanging in the balance. The magic around her was aimed at keeping her alive… but wasn't enough to accomplish a full recovery.

Deep down, he admired her for being able to smile so much. And when she did, the portrait in the Squad Six common room flashed through his face. Being injured had done nothing to the shifter's will.

Alas, he couldn't keep stalling. He had to get to the reason behind his visit and why it was that he was so gloomy, "What happened to you?"
