The phoenix is a reddish purple bird able to ablaze himself and leaves flames on his path from Greek Roman legends (inspired from Egyptian legends). Unique, he lives for 400 years. At this moment, he sets his own nest on fire and killed himself by the flames... before rebirthing from his ashes young and beautiful again. Other blaze birds are known across the world such as the Firebird of the Slavs, the simurgh of the Persians, the Minka bird of the Aboriginals, the thunder-bird of the Native Americans, the fenghuang of the Chineses, the Khôl of the Hebrews, Ra's emissary the Egyptians...
