"It is said that the Phoenix of Fire, Earth, Water, and Wind were created by Aeon, better known as the Phoenix of Light, Life, Peace and Creation, to aid him in killing Mors, the Phoenix of Darkness, Death, Chaos and Destruction."
"Do you know why?"
"Long before the ill fated battle, Mors was tranquil once....he was working seamlessly with Aeon. Life and death, peace and chaos, all being combined into a mixture of morbid beauty. Until Aeon happened across our little planet, Earth. He fell in love with a mortal woman, she was a princess, seen knelt, hands clasped together, praying at his altar. She wished for her sick father, King Arthur to become better. Aeon listened to this prayer, he agreed to help her, but in return she must wed him, she said yes. Mors, hearing news of this grew jealous and enraged, he wanted Aeon to himself, so as his last attempt, he wanted to destroy everything Aeon created, to plunge this world into eternal darkness. But, for luck was on our side, he was stopped, slain by the five Phoenix's and banished into the black flames of the underworld....forever..."
"But yet again, as luck would have it, we need all six of them to save the Earth before we destroy ourselves...."

“Leave me alone!” Her form flickered in the dim light.
The brothers shared a look. “All right,” one started. “Just let us say something first. We know you have powers; we can sense them on you. We can do this because we have powers too. We call it magic. If you want, we can show you.”
“Prove it then.”

There was a monster inside of her – a dark thing that always tried to claw its way out, ripping her insides to shreds as it went. She found no relief from it, maybe because she had no happy memories to find solace in, nor anyone to find comfort in.
And yet, Amber could be the catalyst to setting a series of events that had been prophesied centuries before, into motion, bringing together three more people – the embodiments of the Emblems – to bring magic back to life.
But in this underlying world of Adepts, Demons and secrets within secrets, unlocking their potential will be harder than you think.

So, this is my 2014 Nanowrimo story, which is basically an attempt to rewrite Phoenix, where it shall go through major changes in plot, characters as well as effects of my new-and-improved writing style. I hope you enjoy it, and please give constructive criticism!
{Also, the cover is temporary, till I find someone who can help me with it :P}
