Welcome to the introduction of the most alluring rebellious sprit the sea has to offer. This pleasure-seekers have a gorgeous paradox and run on passion. If you haven't guessed by now I am describing mermaids! This Storybook is about the mermaid Melusine who came from European Folklore.

Melusine is the oldest daughter of triplets born to Pressyne and King Elynas. Pressyne is a fairy and made Elynas promise that if they got married he couldn't see her give birth to her triplets. The King had broken this promise and so Pressyne took their daughters to an island and the King never saw them again. On the girls' fifteenth birthday they asked their mother why they had never met her father and she told them the story of how he disobeyed her only wish. The girls, extremely angered by this, found their dad and locked him up in a mountain to suffer for his mistake. Pressyne had found out about what her daughters did and punished them for their behavior. From that point on Melusine was turned into a mermaid every Saturday and would remain as a human every other day if her husband never saw her. However, if he did disobey her wish of not seeing her on Saturdays, just like her father had disobeyed her wish with her mother, she would be a mermaid until Judgement Day.

Melusine is not only a serpent of the sea but she is a fairy of the sky. Stories have been told of her flying three times around the North Tower of the Castle D'Lusignan before any bad occurrence that happens to the town. She was last spotted around the 16th century flying around the north tower before the castle caught on fire and burnt to the ground.

Melusine's name and her story are still popular as it is Starbuck's logo. They chose this as their logo because the word Starbucks comes from a nautical character so they wanted to choose their logo as something nautical as well. I hope you enjoyed reading my introduction as now I invite you to move on to the stories of Melusine and her introversion that makes her so well known throughout centuries.
