I have the great honor and pleasure to wish you, Allyssianne, a wonderful birthday and a new year of joy. May the sun ever shine upon your face and the wind in flow through your hair. Let the sword at your side be sharp and the mind within be sharper, that the blade need never see anything but its sheath. Forever may you be blessed and those around you to also be blessed by you. May you never need for want, and may you always have friends at your side. May you be loved and love alike. Follow your heart and your head, for between the two you may find the right bearing. Be not afraid, but take strength in times of turmoil. Let freedom be always with you, though chains may bind and enemies bar the way. Strive not to be unique, you already are. Finally, take with you in this new year the heart of fantasy and never allow anything to be 'too real'. This is my wish...
