Blazing Shadows

Princess Lillianna Jezebel Ayres, the only daughter of Lord Ayres, has everything she could ever wish for- clothes, make-up, her beautiful horse. Except for one thing- freedom. Wherever she goes, her bodyguards seem to follow her and she just can't get rid of them. Moreover, her choice of pets is disapproved of by her father and whenever she tries to sneak in another snake, it is mysteriously found dead the next morning. In a fit of rage one day, she decides to take revenge.

And they do say, revenge is sweet...

I was addicted. I couldn't stop, even though I wanted to. I could never stop.

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.

-David Brinkley

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

-Harvey Fierstein

Snakes are sometimes perceived as evil, but they are also perceived as medicine. If you look at an ambulance, there's the two snakes on the side of the ambulance. The caduceus, or the staff of Hermes, there's the two snakes going up it, which means that the venom can also be healing.

-Nicolas Cage

Born to Mars

A fighter she will be

She will kill

With the first breath she takes

Snakes and serpents

Hers to command and rule

A snake to the core

She will take after her servants

The first in seven generations

She will overcome the feared

Hers to nurture and destroy

The top and the bottom

She will have the power to choose

Between them

At the end, the choice will be hers

The Shadow or The Light?"
