LJ HOLMES PRESENTS: ASHES

Immortal?

Some think so, but I'm really not. Just long lived, and much like your understanding of the

cat, multi-lived.

My genesis can be traced back through the

annals of time to an era still steeped in

mystery...

The Unknown.

You have heard SOME of the tales from the days of my advent. You know of

Ra,

Isis,

Bast.

In some ways, you even know a bit about me, but not the facts as they are transcribed upon the

parchment of Time's own records.

I am a rumor, or am I?

I am a myth, but have you not learned that myth is all too often based on fact?

I am the core of all that flames, and the embodiment

of flight. Yes, that is what I am; soaring flames that burn themselves out,

only to rise again.

500 years...that's how long we traverse the ebbing and cresting of mankind's movements towards...

what?

Then I die, only to rise again because I am the

PHOENIX.

Egypt has

changed since I first spread my wings all those life times ago. Much has drawn my interest in the intervening

centuries and life spans.

Now here I am, nearing the end of this era, when

he happens.

Holding his dead brother he will do anything to bring his brother back or join him.

Why did the

Fates choose this moment to reveal my weary,

fading self to him, and how can I stop him from the course he has decided upon, ensnaring us both in something better left to the Fates?

ASHES by Arlene Webb is coming to you on May 27, 2011 from the

Muse It Hot side of

Muse Publishing, Inc.

Will the Phoenix prevail, or will her weakened state allow the mourning brother to alter their realities, forcing them all into an unknown, far more

dangerous situation than any of them can hope to recover from?

The answers are coming. But until then follow ASHES here at its
