The Wavering Hawk [ENGLISH]

Afternotes

Bekasi (Indonesia), May 10th, 2020

I'll take note to mark this day as a day I finally finish writing The First Rough Draft of The Wavering Hawk. 

Some of you might be thinking, the climax was flat, too rushed, anti-climatic, or even bland. Honestly, nothing I could blame but my incapability of explaining things batter in English. I can do better, but I had not enough time anymore. No one near me had the time to help me to make a better version of this story, so I hope you'd be content with this rough draft of mine. 

So this is the best I can do in English. For my Indonesian readers, they could get--of course--the better version of this story since Bahasa Indonesia is my mother tongue. They would be the only ones that get the full version of Rebellion Saga which is expanded up to 4 books. 

Yes, you didn't misread it. This saga expanded into four books, which contained:
1. The Wavering Hawk

2. The Fallen Dove

3. The Free Nightingale 

4. The Dead Raven

Each of them would be focused on solely one main character. In the first book, we saw Mikhail's development. In the second book, we would get Katarina's development. In the third book, we would see the world from Arafah's perspective (Yes, you read it right. Arafah is a main character and there would be a sole story about her). And in the final book, we would get the ending for all of the three, including those who play behind the shadows. 

If you get it right, each of them containing the name of a bird. And yes, there was hidden symbolism behind it. All of them had various meanings in each of culture. But each of them contained meanings that I've eager to deliver to everyone out there. 

Hawk means self-reflecting and wisdom, along with powers and experience.

Dove means peace, unity, longing, loyalty, and love. 

Nightingale means love, yearns, bravery, efforts, and hope.

Raven means wisdom, death, life, and trickery. 

When it comes to research and the science things about this book, I admitted, there wasn't enough research material. Once again, I lacked of time to do that. I'll try my best to fix this thing in the Indonesia version which is coming in unknown circumstances.

Last but not least, I would gladly thank to you, my dear readers that strong enough to stay up to this point. I am very grateful to have you all as my reader. Thank you. I hope this won't be the last time we met in English stories. The situation was not getting better but like Latifah and Nathaniel, let's not giving up for finding hope, no matter how small it is, no matter how frail it is. Because that was another reason for us to be born in this world. That was our fight, or so I believe. 

See you next time, when we meet again.

Sincerely,
