The Phoenix and the Carpenter

By Michel Waylander

She was sent as a weapon. He treated her like a guest.

Bound by magic and forced into violence, a phoenix finds herself stranded in a human village-her strength spent, her will broken. Escape seems impossible. But one man doesn't run, doesn't fight, doesn't fear her. He offers warmth. And shelter. And time.

Kin, a soft-spoken carpenter with no magic and no reason to get involved, becomes an unexpected refuge. But as the days pass, questions arise: Why does she trust him? Why does he care? And what will happen when the one who controls her comes to take her back?

Told from the eyes of a creature shaped by fire and pain, The Phoenix and the Carpenter is a quiet fantasy about slow trust, unwanted bonds, and the impossible chance that something real might grow-between a man who builds with his hands, and a being who was never meant to stay.
