This isn't my entry, since I want to try something harder. Just wanted to try this to cut off some rust I've picked up.I used McSkinEdit and GIMP, since both are good programs.
In ancient Egyptian mythology and in myths derived from it, the phoenix or phÅ nix (pheonix, phoenixbyrd, feonix, foenix) is a mythical sacred firebird.
Said to live for 500 or 1461 years (depending on the source), the phoenix is a bird with beautiful gold and red plumage. At the end of its life-cycle the phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix arises. The new phoenix embalms the ashes of the old phoenix in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis ("the city of the sun" in Greek). The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible o a symbol of fire and divinity. This concept was mirrored with slight falsification to it in the famous and common movies, Harry Potter.
Although descriptions (and life-span) vary, the phoenix (Bennu bird) became popular in early Christian art, literature and Christian symbolism, as a symbol of Christ, and further, represented the resurrection, immortality, and the life-after-death of Jesus Christ.
Originally, the phoenix was identified by the Egyptians as a stork or heron-like bird called a benu, known from the Book of the Dead and other Egyptian texts as one of the sacred symbols of worship at Heliopolis, closely associated with the rising sun and the Egyptian sun-god Ra.
Although the pheonix, commonly spelled phoenix, is commonly said to be a the, which is usually given to singular being(the minotaur, the old man down the block), the phoenix is a breed of bird. More commonly found in colder climates that hot, if you were to find it, these birds can mainly only be called forth by those who have a certain magic within them, and be asked for help, and if someone creates a powerful enough bond with a phoenix, the bird can become their familiar. If the bird wants.
Phoenix is a bird of prey, like the eagle. They commonly dive into the cold waters of the arctic to get their prey - fish, krill, baby mamals, and even ears of adult bears. Although it would be assumed that water, particularily cold water, would harm these birds, their internal fire makes them too hot to live in any other climate.
