So I bet you're wondering what all these random letters are.

I call them "Princess notes".

They were all written by princesses in the lost century where my books take place. They're just little teasers for my books.

I hope you like them!

Dear Gabriel,

       It's not true what they say about me. Well, maybe it is but not in the way that you undoubtedly think. I have done things in my life that I regret; you are not one of them. People will teach you about the black princess that destroyed the world with her magic and tried to kill the white princess on many occasions. I do not deny these things, but I didn't choose my destiny. King Leoness did.

Weather I was really made for this or if he lied about the prophecy, I always had a hard time being, well, wicked. You are so young now I don't expect you to understand or be proud of me. But believe me when I say that I didn't seek out evil, evil found me.

My daughter you are to precious to loose the same way I was lost. You may not believe your powers now, but you have them as surely as I did. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Good will always win, that is the way of things, as much as I hate to admit it. Stay out of peoples way, keep safe and don't look for trouble, it has a knack of finding people without extra help.

Live in this time without fear of magic, live don't just exist.

Much love,

       Balonice

Dear Nala,

       Much has happened since you left. We heard of your victory over the invaders, no doubt you heard of our own small battle here in Starian. It seems like only yesterday we were investigating underground tunnels and making fun of stuck-up royals. I've missed you these past two years. I don't know if you knew that Calion enlisted half my army to aid you. I would have come myself but duties here prevented me. I never wanted to leave you in that situation alone.

I hope you'll be able to visit Starian sometime soon, we've almost finished with the palace. It will be in a milder climate so you will get to see some of Starian's more beautiful landscape.

I plan on throwing a rainy season celebration; you're welcome to stay here the full three months for it!

I was wrong not to tell you what my father really was, I guess I never had the courage to stand up to him, just like you said.

I hope to see you very soon, send me word of your own rebuilding plans, I would consider it my honor to assist you in any way I can.

Till then, your friend from afar,

       Robina

P.S I also heard about the adoption, well done!

Dear Mother and Father,

       You already know where I've gone. I guess life, as a princess never really suited me. I'm in the best of care and will strive to look after my friends and myself. Please don't send anyone after me, even if you find me I won't come back. Not yet anyway. I will return, that I promise, but it's like aunt Tessa used to say:

"When you stop fitting in, you don't try and change yourself, you go where you can be yourself."

I'm grateful for all you have given me, I won't forget who I am. But I'm not the same girl I was before this trial.

I love you both; please tell Plithe I will miss his teachings,

Your daughter,

       Gwen

My dearest sister,

       Although you may be angry at the circumstances of which we were obliged to part, please do not blame father. He knows what is best for all of us. You are young now and will not understand, but in time you will learn to respect father. He has been through more then you know.

Layone you are a very special girl, don't ever compromise the things you hold most dear. Your virtue, your strength, your spirit.

You and your brother were my greatest joy. You must always believe that Baman is well wherever he is. I know he will return to us someday, father would not have sent him knowing he would fail.

Please always remember me, Baman, and mother whom you never had the chance to meet. Always believe in that which is right, even if no one else does. I will see you again one day.

May the stars watch over you, as I no longer can,

       Perda

Dear Siarah,

I am writing this note to you without any kind of deception or malicious intent. I merely wish to tell you that however far away you are in spirit or body I will always love you. The words I said to you the last time I saw you were not true, and even though you will not return, I forgive you and I'm sorry. I hope that wherever you are this letter will find it's way to you though mountains and forests, seas and plains. I cannot forget the happy times we had however fleeting they were. Magic, killing, deceit, evil, that's not what you were made for. Always remember who you really are, my sister and a good person deep inside yourself. I believe you will find that person again. I will not attempt to contact you again. My prayers are always with you, and I hope we will meet again in the eternal realms.

Your loving sister,

       Olivia 

Intriguing?

Guess what?
I wrote another song!
The reason behind it is cheesy but hey I'm a girl!
So in 8th grade we moved and I had to change schools.
It was my first day and I walked in late! I was really embarrassing!
I remember the first person I notice was Tanner.
He was really cute and once I got to know him I fell head over heals.
He's really sweet and helpful and a friend to everyone.
The bad news being he's been on and off of girl friends a lot!
I don't think he's ever thought of me that way.
So yes I've had a crush on one of my best friends for about three years now.
I'm not as smitten as I was when I was 12 but I'll always just 'love him from afar'.
My friends always tease me about it and try and get us together (he still doesn't know)
I wrote this song's chorus around the time I first met Tanner and I just recently revised it.
Since I can't post the video of me singing it I'll just do the lyrics.
It's not supposed to be a sad song, it's actually upbeat like 'I won't give up, it'll happen someday'. Not like I'm moping around.
So I hope you like it!

From Afar

From the first time that I saw you,

I was the new girl just lookin' for a friend.

You caught you my eye and from that time on,

I will love you until the very end.

(Chorus)

I needed someone I could be myself around,

Even though they told me you were taken.

Do you realize that you captured my heart?

And I'll always be lovin' you,

From afar

As time went by I got to know you past your

wonderful smile,

I could tell that you were someone special,

Just after knowin' you for a little while.

(Chorus)

Even though I still se you with her oh,

I can't stop the feelings I feel,

Inside.

(Chorus)

From afar

Do you even know I feel this way?

Can you see it in my eyes?

You were that someone I could be myself around,

I can't except that you're still taken.

Will you ever realize that you captured my heart?

And I'll always be lovin' you...

From afar

This is kinda late but,
Happy 4th of July everyone!
I hope everyone had a good time and got their red, white and blue on!
I just love this holiday!
