She had shimmering white long hair that sparkled in the Sun, her eyes were a combination of turquoise and green. Lyrid loved Perseid more than she loved her self yet nothing Perseid did frustrated her. Skateeros have remained powerless because one of the monsters, Haifa, was caught using his powers to help the humans. Unlike Queen Lyrid King Leo was iron-willed and the god of the ocean no one dared to disobey him.

    Cernunnos is a Celtic god, also known as the ‘Horned One’ and sometimes referred to as Herne the Hunter.

Mostly he is depicted with stag’s antlers, seated cross-legged and surrounded with animals like stags, wolves and others, holding or wearing torcs. In others he is seen with a ram-horned serpent.

    Throughout human history, recurring stories and themes pop up around the world, crossing borders of both language and culture. Though they can vary from tales of a great flood to how the world came to be, the most common and easily-identifiable is the Hero’s Journey.
