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.

Phoenix of Calamity

Arthur and his friends naturally gravitated towards each other. Leo, Momo and Darius had varied expressions towards the white-haired prince.

Momo kept a wary gaze that said 'What crazy idea is coming out of him now?', Leo wouldn't wipe the smirk off his face while Darius let out an apathetic sigh.

Arthur's expression, on the other hand, was the epitome of glee, "Are you guys up for this? It has to be fun."

"There is nothing fun about fighting dark creatures, conjured or real!" Darius replied bluntly.

Leo chuckled nervously, "Well, that's one reason to take things slow."

The prince furrowed his brows in confusion. He glanced at Momo but the archer quickly looked away, "Did something happen?"

"Well, we tried 'hunting' yesterday," raising two air quotes with his fingers at the word hunting, "…but we didn't catch a thing," Leo sighed.

"What! Are the creatures out there that powerful?" Arthur asked, beaming once more.
