A Phoenix in the Grove

Ezkial phoenix, not that he likes to be called that, is abundantly famous in Europe. After all, his parents discovered the cure to cancer. He had the ticket to an easy life, a childhood where he could have anything he wants, and likely never have to work for a thing in his life. His parents want nothing but the best for him. The best clothes, best education, everything. Unfortunately for them, Zeke thinks different. Zeke never wanted fame or fortune, he believes he should work for what he has. No more than a week after voicing this opinion to his parents, his grandmother who he has never met offers a mysterious proposal. He could come and live with her, in a place where no one knows of his fortune or reputation, but he would have to work for any money he needs, she tells him that if he lasts a year there, he would have the choice to return to his life of luxury. however, she tells him that the consequences of failing will be far greater than he thinks.
