Welcome back to our guest writer, Phoenix Illing! Phoenix is a newly graduated high school student, and their interests include writing, reading, baking, spending time outside, and playing with their dog. They have been writing since they were eight years old, but only in the past year have they really seriously written pieces. They try their best to represent minorities that they don’t often see represented, and they want to draw awareness to mental health issues. Phoenix uses they/them pronouns.
Many thanks to Phoenix for sharing their story with us. "Adira & Wyetta" is split in two parts. Click the links below to read Parts 1 and 2.

Image Description: A cobblestone bridge leads to the half-domed entryway into a castle. Black and white turrets reach up toward the sky. A forest surrounds the edifice and gray skies hang overhead.
