Every 1,000-2,000 years the four great Phoenixes are reborn. In a dazzling display of flame and ash, they die and reform. They take their ashes and form two eggs, and then deliver them to the leaders of the magical communities. The eggs often contain nothing more than ashes, but sometimes they will contain gifts.

Only this time the Phoenixes' eggs contained one stone each, and a prophecy, only one person was able to gather the contents of these former eggs. And thus with the Phoenixes' gifts received the great birds left yet again, off to live in their realm for another lifetime, until they passed again.

Each stone was a specific color, one was a fiery read, the other a frosty ice-blue, the next a lush forest green and the last a piercing yellow-gold. Each one bore no symptoms to anyone who touched them, and so they were left to the original taker of them.

For the longest time no one knew what the stones meant, but after five hundred years their purpose is finally discovered. Four children born at the turn of the century, each with one eye the color of the stone. Each child lived in the same Kingdom, the same town and the same year. Only thing different, the season they were born in.

When the children reached the age of 18 the woman who fathered the stones originally sought them out, giving each their stone, and thus completing the ritual of the Phoenixes. Now these former children are pushed together to defend the Phoenixes from an eternally long threat.


The year is about 1330, in an advanced society known as Hearth's Forge. A great kingdom that relies upon the ashes of the four Phoenixes to fuel their magical needs, and keep their society thriving. The four were born in this Kingdom, they live within its bounds. The citizens living here are a diverse group some farmers, some Knights, others members of the magical order, others merely blacksmiths, treasurers, and various others.


Born of fire and ash,
Threatened by shadows and magical backlash.
Four born of each Phoenix are their only hope now.
Each of an elemental magic as ancient as the universe will allow.
Red for Summer and the flames she loves so dear,
Green for Spring and the earth replenished by the year,
Blue for Winter and the water frozen over,
Yellow for Fall and the winds that tug the clover.

Alexander raised Alyss as his own child, and the two formed a family bond, Alyss viewing this man as her sort of father.
In the Citadel she was able to become friends with the Knights, and Guards of the castle as they often stopped to check up on the Citadel. It was this way that she met her future best friends, Cole and Janice.
When Alyss was of age she was taken up as Alexander’s apprentice and from there she learned the magical skills she would need later.
