LOL, I know, Leonis! I always turn it around...
I really like the phrase Cor Leonis in your sig, btw [img]smile.gif[/img]
Attalus, thanks! [img]smile.gif[/img] Haven't heard anything about the story you heard though: Melusine indeed originates in French legend, but she's a siren/winged mermaid. She's cursed to change into a serpent from the waist down every Saturday, and has therefore made her husband promise not to visit her on that day. One Saturday though he peeks through the keyhole as she takes her bath, and sees the serpentine tail. Melusine flees from the castle on black wings. She is said to have returned at night to nurse her youngest children, and whenever one of the offspring of her line dies, she is said to fly around the castle tower mourning and wailing. That's the short version anyway
