The tale of the shadow phoenixes(or TTOTSP)a prequel to TTDOT.

Chapter one.

Cole Greyson had just moved into a little town called “river bend city”. It was a small village surrounded by forest. Cole had a twin sister named Leah and a older brother named Peter. Cole had not wanted to move but they had in search of a better life….

“Cole get up! Breakfast!” Cole’s mother, Kate called up the stairs. Cole groaned and rolled out of bed. He sleepily trotted down the stairs. Everyone else was already seated. “Good morning sleepy head.” Kate said, smiling brightly. Her dark black and grey hair was up in a bun and her brown eyes sparkled happily. Leah grinned at her brothers disheveled appearance. She tossed her golden blonde hair playfully. “Morning Cole.” Leah said. Cole sat down at the table beside Peter. “Good morning.” He mumbled. They all bowed their heads and their father Nathan prayed. “Heavenly father, thank you for our new home and our new life that you have provided for us. Please let this food nourish our bodies where they need to be nourished. Amen.” Nathan said. “Amen.” They all echoed.

After breakfast the three kids set off to “make friends” as their mom put it. Most the kids in the village hung out at the edge of the forest and did…well whatever they pleased. “I hate doing this.” Peter said. “It’s so nerve wracking.” Cole nodded. “Yeah, I don’t see why we have to do this. Right Leah? Leah?” He looked around but his sister was gone. “Where’s leah?” Cole asked. Peter pointed. “There, looks like SHE has already made friends.” Peter said solemnly. Leah was talking with another girl. “Oh come on! It can be that easy!” Cole grunted. He spun around intending to walk away but he ran into someone. Cole fell to the ground. “Hey!” He exclaimed angrily. “Oh sorry.” The person said. “I didn’t see you there.” The boy stuck out his hand and pulled Cole to his feet. Cole faced the teenager. The teenager had shortish- long jet black hair and dark brown mischievous eyes and was dressed in all black. “Hi.” The teenager said, sticking out his hand for Cole to shake it. “My name is James Aragorn Riddle but you can call me James.”
