i am hai... Or Oliza?

so i just finished this series I've been reading since 6th grade last night. it's amazing. It started with hawksong in sixth grade, snakecharm in seventh, falcondance in eighth, wolfcry in ninth, and finally, wyvernhail in tenth. You could say these books brought me up through the awkward beginning teenage years. And they have. I loved the idea of living in this world where the princess Danica could escape into the sky as a golden hawk, where her enemy was a scary and mysterious prince from the land that her people had warred with for a thousand years. Zane, who can disappear as a snake. Of course, they find love in an achingly sweet tale.

For awhile, i thought i was Danica, quiet, reserved, and graceful. But i was always Irene, rash and loud and flirty and headstrong.

But now, these days, i feel more and more like Hai, the half blood falcon-cobra child. Unable to control the magic she weaves. She can see into the future, with her sakkri, a dance. She was to walk a deadly, careful line between ice and fire. She tries to save the place where she lives, and Zane and Danica's child, Oliza.

I'm dancing on a deadly thin line. Between my parents. Between the boys. Between crashing and burning.

I wish i lived in the hills and valleys of Wyvern Court. But would i be a snake, hidden and hooded in the shadows? My personality is very much that of the serpiente.

But my ache to fly and get away and be free and soaring is so much more avian.

Perhaps i'm Oliza, for she too walks a thin line above a vast cannon.

I am both, I am one. Am I a wyvern, a dragon?

Oh, and three more words that made my jaw hit the floor.

"I'm getting married."

Good luck to you, little strawberry. I hope you two find more love than i could with mine.

"Taylor Elaine Jensen!"

I miss you, mama bunny. What i wouldn't give to come back to your arms...

<3 Taylor Elaine
