Ashen Cinders

Intro In a realm where magic is as common as breath, fire is feared above all—and no flame is more feared than his. They call him Ashen, not because he’s ever been truly defeated, but because he always comes back from the ashes. A smirking storm of red-orange hair and molten gold eyes, Ashen is a force of chaos wrapped in a hot-headed, mischievous grin. Born of fire, bound to flame, he’s the reincarnation of the ancient Phoenix—a living inferno with magic that scorches hotter than any sorcerer dares to wield. Cities remember him as the blaze that couldn’t be caged. Enemies remember him as the last thing they ever saw. But power like his never comes without a price. Ashen can only rise from his own ashes seven times. He doesn’t know how many lives he’s already spent—but he’s starting to feel a pull in his soul, a flicker of hesitation before the rebirth. Something is changing. The twist? He’s not the only Phoenix. And the others... they aren’t like him. They’ve been watching, waiting, and now they’ve returned—not to embrace him, but to stop him. Because every time Ashen rises, a piece of the world burns with him. And the last time he dies… it won’t just be his ashes that fall.
