A young man named Leander living in the city of Abydos on the southern shore of Canakkale Strait fell in love with the beautiful priestess Hero, and she was with him. Since she was forbidden to marry, Leander visited her secretly every night, swimming across the strait from Abydos to Sestos where Hero lived. So that Leander could find his way in the darkness, Hero carried a torch up to the top of the tower where she lived each night and waited until he arrived. But one stormy night torrential rain extinguished the torch in Hero's hand, and unable to find the right direction, Leander was eventually exhausted by the waves and drowned. At dawn the next morning Hero saw Leander's ragged shirt in the sea and threw herself into the water. So the two lovers were united at last in death. Many myths and legends bear a similar resemblance to others, the location changing while the story remain the same.

A Druid is a Seeker of Truth:
In all places
In all times,
In all ways.
As a Sacred Oak is true:
In its roots that reach deep into the Earth,
In its trunk that spans the Worlds,
In its branches that stretch to the Sky,
So is a Druid true

::extreme emotions diminishes our capacity to look at things, topples our sane judgments and creates transient unhinged antagonist who deems themselves as protagonists.
