PHOENIX

Although I haven't seen phoenix yet, I would like to tell about this mythical animal. I know my knowledge about phoenix isn't good.

Phoenix is a mythical sacred fire bird which is living in India, but sometimes migrate to Egypt every five hundred years. According to some archaeologists, they considered the birds as an emanation of sunlight, being in appearance and size like an eagle.

It has a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet-or purple, blue and green according to some legends. It has 500 to 1000 years life-cycle. Why phoenix's life-cycle? Because it never dies. The old phoenix burn fiercely and become to ashes. A few seconds later, young phoenix born from ashes and live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as itself.

The bird's tears contain healing abilities of pureness, and their cry is a beautiful song.

I only know that phoenix appear in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' movie. All of its characteristic are same.
