Y is for Yearning

The yearning for the man in the mirror is something that Paisley cannot deny. Sure, it might take her awhile to admit it to herself, but it is unmistakable.  To her Joe, the man in the mirror represents much more than a casual observer might see. He represents freedom in many forms; they are things that Paisley wishes for herself.

The crush that began with the boy in the mirror quickly goes full blown once she meets the mortal boy. The yearning for him goes unquenched for decades in the mortal world until she realizes that fate is ready to deliver a fatal blow. What she years for the most does take place, they share a night of unbridled passion that goes beyond her wildest dreams.

V is for Victory

Victory is hard-earned prize no matter the realm in which the battle is fought. Though the battles of Paisley are fought hard on either side of the portal, each teaches her lessons she will never forget. These are lessons everyone can learn from, no matter if they are immortal or mortal.

Victory is the success of any battle that one undertakes. One of the biggest battles she undertakes is her freedom from the Eternals. While she understands her father’s rules and tries to be the good princess, she silently plots  to win his approval for her portal jumps. When she finally succeeds, she remains solid and true to her heritage even though for the most part it is the hardest thing she will ever have to do. 

M is for Momma, Marriage, and Mirror

Paisley loves her mother and father with a passion that cannot be denied. She does not always follow their rules or advice as she should but that is what a child does. 

She really dislikes the prearranged marriage and she slowly falls in love with the boy in the mirror. The other side of the mirror is in the mortal world, somewhere she is forbidden to go. As usual, she finds a way to side step her father’s wishes without breaking the rules.

When she meets the boy in the mirror, her fate is sealed. Her soul feels as if it belongs with Joe but with him being a mortal man, it is forbidden. She feels as if he is mister right, and decides to let life go on as it has forever. 

L for Longings

Paisley has longings like the rest of us. You would think as royalty she has the perfect life but that is far from the truth. Sometime shortly after her birth her father the king decided whom she should marry. Paisley hates her father’s choice but hates Willard even more. Willard pranks her every chance he gets.

When Paisley’s grandma is banished to the mortal world, Paisley is heartbroken. She wants nothing more than to go live with her grandma. When her grandma tells about the new world, when she visits it makes Paisley happy. The images Paisley sees in the magic mirror when she talks with her grandma makes her long for a visit. The mortal world has temptations that are simply too great for the young girl to dismiss.
