The Elemental Chronicles: Flame of the Phoenix (Book One)

Prologue

January 28th, 1987
     A bright light filled the baby's field of vision as she came into the world. "Congratulations, it's a girl!" The doctor stated, handing the pale blonde woman her baby. She wiggled around in her mother's arms as she let out a sharp cry. "Welcome to our family, Talyn Claudia Phillips." The young mother stated.

     Talyn sat in the wheeled chair she had claimed as her own. She spun around a few times, only to come to a halt. The woman looked up to see her close friend's masked face. "How old are you? 5?" Trent asked, blue eyes narrowed at her own green eyes. "I will have you know that I am 31!" She hissed.
     Trent simply shook his head, long raven locks hitting her in the face. "I will cut off your head and use it as a soccer ball." The hacker stated, glaring daggers at the male. He rolled his eyes as he switched on the television situated between her computer and her printer. "And it seems like The Jester is up to his usual shenanigans." Trent mumbled, noticing the man dressed like a jester. "Seriously? Am I not allowed to have a break?" Talyn groaned, running a pale hand through her electric blue hair.
     "When you get back, we can catch up on Supernatural. How does that sound?" Trent offered. "Sounds good." She replied, nodding. She stood up and rolled her jacket sleeve up. On her forearm was a phoenix. She tapped it lightly. Trent looked away as a blinding light engulfed his friend.
     In Talyn's place stood a woman clad in battle armor. Her flaming hair was tied in a braid. In the middle of the chestplate was the phoenix. "Hello, human." The woman said, flame-colored eyes regarding him with disinterest. "Phoenix. Make sure Talyn comes back in once piece." The male replied. "Haven't I always?" Phoenix responded, a small smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth.
