The Two Princesses of Bamare

Adventure, Romance, Fantasy, and more. Love, Battles, Deadly Illnesses, Cleverness, Magic, and more. Humans, Dwarfs, Sorcerers, Gryphons, Dragons, Ogres, and Specters. This story is (mainly) about two princesses, and an adventure that turns a coward into a hero. The princesses names are Meryl who is brave, and seeks adventure, and Adelina (Addie) who is shy and scared of almost everything. Meryl catches the illness called the Gray Death (created by the dragon Yune when she was slain by the warrior Drault), and it has three stages: 1.) Weakness, and it can last anywhere from on day to 5 months  2.) Sleep, and this always lasts 9 days  and 3.) Fever, this always lasts exactly 3 days, then they die (no one has ever lived through it). Meryl has always longed for adventure, but it’s Addie that has to go and find the cure or her sister will die. Addie’s father now has an apprentice sorcerer named Rhys, and he becomes friends with addie. Sorcerers live 500 years, and he was 78, but it is 17 if he were a human. All sorcerers have curly black hair and are very tall. The only way a sorcerer is born is if lightning strikes marble. He helps Addie through her adventures. She starts by finding a specter (they prophesi) when that doesn’t help she looks for a dragon and ends up being captured by Vollys, who is Yune’s daughter. Addie has to keep Vollys entertained to stay alive, but Meryl has entered the second stage, so she only has twelve days to live. Vollys told Addie the cure and Addie somehow escaped, but Meryl only has one more day to live. I’ll stop there. It’s a real page turner, and I couldn’t put it down. It’s very suspensful (for me at least). I hope you read it.

Mexico

I lasted five whole days without computer or phone. I rock climbed, read the same book twice (in 4 days, because I loved it so much) we had a ton of Coke, and…everyone had cool accents! I loved it. What is your choice for vacation? What would you do?
