Phoenix Empire 소설 & 이야기

In an instant, the divine refinement levels of every Phoenix clansman shimmered into view. Yes, Seraphine's power shone bright, but she wasn't unmatched. There were others with strength that eclipsed hers. "You've always planned to make her heir," I said. "But in the Phoenix Court, succession is determined by strength, not by bloodline. Mother only helped you ascend because she feared civil unrest. But now—years later—you've grown too attached to the seat to let it go." A murmur went through the crowd. Then someone asked, cautiously, "So… even I might be able to inherit the Phoenix legacy?"

"Actually, we had been placed at the bottom of all the beast clans because the beastkin regarded us as the faded Peacock Clan. What they didn’t know was that we were, in fact, the Phoenix Clan. We had no interest in the competition, so we sealed our noble bloodline and remained hidden. We phoenixes have always kept a low profile, earning our wealth through diamonds and the trade of enchanted goods—unlike the other clans, who rely on power and politics. If the clans were ranked by wealth, we would confidently claim first place.” "Our people pursue ascension. Most of our wealth goes toward cultivating and refining spiritual medicine. This world’s resources are limited. We have no interest in s

(Five years later) Lyra’s POV I leaned against the dark tinted window of my limousine as it drove past the City. My reflection stared back at me, my face covered with a Phoenix shaped mask that only allowed my eyes and mouth to be seen, it was my Trademark. The world now knew me as The Phoenix, the name wasn't just branding. It was my story. I had risen from destruction, rebuilt by hands that should never have held me together, and now the very fire that consumed me was now my fuel and weapon.

"Mom, I... I don’t want to get married. I—" "And you think that matters?" her mother, Amelia Joseph, snapped, voice sharp as glass. "Violet, listen carefully. We didn’t adopt you so you could live in comfort without consequences. It’s time you paid us back. Your father needs this alliance with Mr. James William, and that means you marrying into their family. Have we ever treated you poorly? Didn’t we give you food, a home, clothes? This deal is crucial for our future. How can you be so selfish when everything is at stake?"

I guess we could leave the serious talks for another day, right now, I just wanted to enjoy the tour and Ren’s company. Ren took me to the buildings as he introduced them to me in order. Starting off with the hospital building in the North. The building had a long hallway with doors on both sides leading to small rooms for patients. There were also big halls filled with patient beds. “Crown prince…you should have told us beforehand that you would be visiting. We could have prepared to welcome you properly…” a man came up and bowed. I could tell by his uniform that he must be one of the royal doctors. The symbol of a red phoenix was displayed clearly on his uniform. It was the symbol for roya

Teo asked as he directed his gaze towards Phoenix. “Because she is more than a curse, she is my friend.” Teo eyed Phoenix with suspicion. “There are rumors that you possess powers, is this true? The people say that you’re named Phoenix because you have the power to produce flames from your hands.” “The rumors are true,” Phoenix said as she came closer to them. “And if you ever insult me again,” flames licked the flesh of her right arm as she walked closer to him. “I’ll make sure not even your ashes remain.”

Conlay nodded. “Now, the imperial city is almost completely controlled by the people of the Great Preceptor. They hold no grudges against us, and we’ve even done them a small favor.” Hearing that, Philip merely nodded. However, he did not believe that the fire phoenix general’s faction would let him and Conlay go. Amid the cheering crowd, Philip heard them shouting, “Phoenix Tribulation, Phoenix Tribulation!” A hint of reminiscence crossed Conlay’s eyes.

If a man wanted to, he could stand up and fight back, he would have a chance, but most women wouldn't. So instead I find their weaknesses and exploit them. Smiling at the next name I go to the club. Walking in I watch as everyone stays quiet. I see Evan look towards the fire exit, moving I rush to block it, grabbing him I throw him back. "What do you know?" "Well, the princess won't be ruling the city for long, that is for sure." He laughs, moving I punch him. "Who took her?" "You kill me you will never know." He smiles smugly. "I was expecting your visit, after standing right there watching them talk and listening, I couldn't wait to watch her empire fall down."

Clandestine Empire. An empire consisted of different regions where mages and non-mages co-exist. The north was protected by people with earth affinity magic, south with wind, east with water, west with fire, southwest with lightning, southeast with ice and the northwest with plants while the northeast had magic affiliated with animals. Aside from the different territories under different lieges, the outskirts were composed of free cities. One of those cities would be found in the southern outskirts. The South City was also known as the Lawless City.
