[MR] Let's just get rid of Spike

[Danielle Scott]

Well said Mistress Kiri! Along with the Relay for life, there are many other wonderful organizations out there that could use our support to fight cancer and other horrible diseases that have ravaged our fair kingdom and those of our friends! Perhaps focusing on find positive things to put this extra energy to would be a good way move along from the subject. 
 
On a personal note, I happen to love spike! I think it shows what a small kingdom like Atlantia can do, and still be noble, honorable, caring for our youth, able to hold our own against great tides and able to move with ease among the predators and yet be dangerous with our cunning and honed skills both on and off the martial field. Spike is a creature of beauty and strength, which represents both our men and women. I love every chance I get to paint in Spike when it is given as supporters and when I wear my belt favor showing my Atlantian pride.In Service to our King, Queen & Fair Atlantia,Lady Daniela Schwartzhaupt Orders of the Pearl and Golden DolphinHaus Zwerg Burgewww.freewebs.com/thornriver Life is but a dream and we are all the background of each others.
