Trust me to write a scene that involves me Wikipedia-ing various types of hawks, eagles, and falcons in order to accurately write descriptions of hippogriffs. I am terrified of birds. (Although. Actually. To be honest, I am not as afraid of birds of prey as I am of, say, sparrows. GOD I KNOW I AM SO WEIRD.)

What, didn't y'all know that Narnia had hippogriffs? Of course Narnia has hippogriffs. I have no idea why I didn't think of this before. HIPPOGRIFFS. Oh my God. Totally just as cool as griffins. Maybe not as sexy.

I am so hyped up to be back at Dust, you have no idea. Water is cool, but whatever, Dust is where it's at. And there has barely been any Peter! I am happy like whoa. (Not because of the no Peter thing. Because I love all these characters. And this 'verse. And this entire friggin' story. This will probably fade quickly, but what the hell, must use it while it lasts. AND DUST OHMYGOD.)

Water is a sprint; I know where it's going and how quickly it's going to get there. (Well, it's PC. We all know what it's doing.) Even with three parts, it's still rather a sprint, because the main action gets over with fairly quickly, relatively speaking.

Dust, now -- Dust is a marathon. An awesome marathon. I know where it's going and roughly how quickly it's going to get there. (Read: not quickly. MARATHON. Dust is the Greco-Persian Wars of Narnia, kids! Complete with a Thermopylae and a Salamis. A Marathon and a Plataea, too. But what am I saying, we're not there yet.) And Dust is -- oh my god. *flails wildly* I forgot how much I loved this story! Oh my god! It is just so...well. I don't want to say epic, but, well. It is. It is not crack.

Also, it just hit 30K.

Although I will also add that the birds that scare me the most are friggin' peacocks. I hate peacocks and they're terrifying.

I hear they're downright mean. There used to be two of them on the little farm not a mile from my house, and they let them wander out into the road sometimes. Also crowds of ducks: that is a totally legit fear. they will bite you if you are handing out bread or whatever.

Oh, god, ducks. *shudders* The reason I stopped running? There was this bird that would chase me up and down the hill I was running on. Ohmygod. TERRIFYING.
