Sinbad didn't charm Talya (There's no need, you see, she's already charmed  )!! Talya forces sinbad to help her, & even though Sinbad obliges (very reluctantly) He knows Talya is basically a good girl & cant believe that she sided up with Plunkett! |

Does anybody remember the fanfiction when Bryn sneaks into Maeve's room and finds the words "Rumina" on a piece of paper? She asks to Dermott who is Rumina and convinces, along with the crew, Rumina to talk to Sinbad. Rumina meets Sinbad in the tavern, and they have a nice chat about how much Sinbad had changed. Maeve sees this through a pool from the other declension and hates to say this, but she thanks Rumina for helping Sinbad.
Great stuff: an evil sorceress actually helping Sinbad, all because deep down inside she loves him.

Rumina? Talking Sinbad about how he changed in the sense of actually helping him? That's weird!  |

Yeah, but you have to love the irony of it.

Heh.  That reminds me: do you know the origins of believing in unicorns? |

@firouz: "As the world falls down"?. Have read that, too. Sweet one, but have to admit I did not really get the meaning of the ending. I mean, what do they have to do to make it right? They will relive that over and over again. Or is it just that what the author wanted to do? To make us think about the different possibilities? @sinbad: Oh, have heard of so many origins. And every country does have it's own. From what I know, the first reference goes to an antelope (the Oryx) that when watched from the side looks as if it had only one straight horn. In the christian church then, the myths had been extended and integrated into the "holy virgins" theme. |

There are many stories that try to explain where the unicorn legeds came from originally. One says that as the Roman Empire expanded and the Roman legions ventured more south into Africa they encountered rhinos for the first time. Of course they didn´t know these animals so they tried to describe them and did it by saying they were "as fast as horses and they had a horn" Over the years and centures that description turned more and more horse like.

I heard unicorns were deer with one horn one their head. It is not common, but species of deer have been found with one horn.
