Fire, it can denote passion, purification, anger, destruction, rage, pain, and suffering, yet it also brings with it life. The mythical Phoenix a being made from this element a creature that many wish to find as it is stated that the bird has powers to cure the sick, and to heal the wounded. Stories have been told of this mythical creature, singing praises for it, one such story has been passed down from generation to generation in the (L/n) family as they seem to see the creature as a guardian angel of sorts, but does (Y/n) believe in it as did his ancestors?
No, he had lost all faith in this creature, and believed the stories told were simply stories, and fairy tales of people who just tried to come up with a reason as to why things happen. If such a thing existed why has no one found it today? Why has the beast that his family claims to be their savior their guardian angel left them to suffer?
(Y/n) may find the answers to such questions, and find that sometimes that myths or legends do turn out to be true.
"She used to say that my dad and her were destined to be together, and look what happened? I couldn't bring myself to believe anymore. Then.. Then I met you, Pope.. and I realised that the universe truly had orchestrated my whole life to bring me together with someone. You."
Since the day JJ learnt how to talk, his mother taught him all about myths, legends and folklore in hopes of him having a better understanding of many things from the real world. But when she leaves JJ to deal with his alcoholic, abusive father at just ten years old, JJ loses all hope. For if her and his dad were destined to be together like she said they were, like the red thread of fate legend said they were, why did she leave? And if it was all a lie, that meant JJ would never find the person who was created and destined to be with him. But then, he meets Pope. All anxiety and calm tied together in a sweet, joyful package that made JJ's heart race whenever he spoke or whenever his stunning hazel eyes would catch his. But also the one person he could not have. Just how much can JJ take of not being able to express his feelings before everything comes pouring out?
