My name is Ivory Flame.
I've never had any problem with my name. It's a beautiful name, to be honest.
But it sounds empty. Who is Ivory Flame? Even I don't know. All my life I've been trying to figure that out.
My older sister, Scarlet, is human. Sometimes I envy her for that. She fits in. She knows who she is - she always has, really.
And my twin, Suri. I envy her as well. Even though we share the same burden of being half dragon, she still knows who she is, underneath that.
But here I am. And who am I?
Admittedly, yes, I did better in school than either of my sisters. I was always getting awards for my grades. But what did that say about me?
The one thing I knew was that I wanted to learn magic. All my life, that's how it's been.
But how could I leave behind my twin sister for that?
The only way, I think, that anyone will understand, is to write it down.
Maybe these words will find their way into Suri's hands. And maybe then she'll forgive me.
