This is a story the group wrote at a storytelling session,

with each individual writing the next piece …

Once upon a time, there was a blue phoenix.

It flew up and landed on top of a wall

It overlooked the surrounding countryside.

and spread its wings for flight.

They weren’t always blue …

His teacher had told him he was born with red wings.

His body was iridescent rainbow-coloured.

He turned around and saw a female phoenix – a red one.

The red phoenix rose up into the environment. It paired with the blue phoenix in a partnership.

The two birds flew together across a cloudy sky and into the distance

in an immediate bond.
