(Prequel to Strong, Truly Strong) Phoenix: a unique bird that lived for five or six centuries in the Arabian desert, after this time burning itself on a funeral pyre and rising from the ashes with renewed youth to live through another cycle. A Phoenix rises from the ashes. It just rises. America was going through alot at the moment. Countries were blaming and threatening him left and right for the Great Depression. And it had led him to cutting. It had led him to purging. It had led him to Depression. But he had his family by his side. And step by step, day by day, they were gonna help him rise. Just like a Phoenix.
