[A/N: Hey guys, Nomz here! So I decided to make a little DBZ OC story centered around my character, Ayries. There will be, of course, canon characters in the story, but that's not gonna be its main focus. So if this concept bothers you, then perhaps you should press the back-button. Or not, up to you. xD But either way, I hope you like it~]

There's a legend that has been constantly told from generation to generation. The story of the origins of Zatharia and the great Phoenix that watched over the first inhabitants of the little planet.

Zatharia was believed to have started off as an ice planet located 7.2 billion kilometers from the sun, Arcanes. The inhabitants were pale white and mainly stayed in their little homes, the freezing winds too unbearable to even go out for a leisurely walk. They prayed and prayed with all their hearts that one day they would be able to feel the warmth of the sun and be able to go out to play in daylight.

Then one day, a great shining light appeared in the sky radiating warmth and bringing great sunshine to the little miserable planet. One by one, each person came out of their households. The snow and ice dried up, the winds were gone, and they could finally see beyond 5 feet of their surroundings. They all chatted excitedly, wondering if their wish really came true.

Then suddenly, the great shining light sprouted huge wings, wings like they've never seen before. It was golden and multi-colored. The way it flapped in the air was so majestic, the souls of the inhabitants could feel her energy rack their very souls.

"Who are you?" One brave soul asked.

"I am the Phoenix," the figure responded, her beautiful, booming voice echoing throughout the entire planet. "I have heard your cries, little ones. I have heard prayers of warmth and sunshine. Suffer no more, my children. I am here for you."

And with that, the Phoenix perched herself on the highest mountain of the planet to watch over its people.

For centuries she watched her children play. She watched their skins grow tan and their smiles grow bright.

She also watched them in the times of war.

She watched the war waged in between the men and the women- how much blood was shed in the almost never-ending war. She watched how they cursed her name, how this was going on and she was powerless to stop it. She watched as the very existence of men was almost exterminated, how much these women lusted and sinned for men to stay in their lives.

It made her weep.

Legend has it that there was 30 days of rain. No sunshine. No warmth. Some say that the Phoenix was weeping for their sins. Others thought that she had abandoned them.

They felt betrayed.

Wasn't she supposed to stay with them? Didn't she always say that she would be there for them?

This angered the people. A group of men and women banded together to Mount Casadium to check for her.

For 72 days and nights they traveled up the mountain to reach her. When they caught up to her, legend has it that they placed a bronze clamp around her neck and feet and chopped off her wings. They dragged her down the mountain and carried her through all of the villages in a ceremony named Dawn of the Phoenix.

To make sure that she never leaves, they threw her into a pit that took one into the core of the planet and trapped her there where she will stay burning at the core forever.

Today, planet Zatharia is one of the hottest planets to-date. The inhabitants have evolved to withstand the scorching temperatures, the women vastly outliving the men due to their ability to adapt faster.

But one day, the Phoenix will have her revenge. Legend has it that she will be reborn into a baby girl. After she's born, there's going to be a long period of Ice before she consumes the planet in rage.
