Being a celtic fairy, Melusine (or Melusina) was usually depicted as a beautiful woman with a snake tail. The myth tells that she was one of the three daughters of a fairy called Pressyne and a mortal man.

The parents lived in peace until the man found another love. The three daughters decided to avenge by killing their father. But only then they discovered that Pressyne truly loved their father.

"Miserable girls- said Pressyne- You thought you had the right to kill your father. Now I lost everything I had, my love, and so will you. Now you will understand what means to lack something you desire. "

And so she cursed them the way only mother can. Melusine was made to watch over a spring and wait for a man to find her and love wholeheartedly. She was forced to watch people quenching their thirst while unable to quench her own.

Time flew. One day a man found her and fell in love. She gave him everything: love, wealth, power, kingdom, lovely kids. They were happy. And in turn she asked him only for one thing: one day, Saturday, was her day, he couldn't see her on Saturday. The mystery was: she transformed into a serpent on that day... The man took the oath.

At first the man seemed to keep the promise. But mystery is more powerful than love, even the greatest.

He hid and watched what she was doing in her ward on that day. The mystery was ruined, the love too. She noticed him and flew away in rage and fear.

"Poor daughter- said Pressyne- Now you understand what a thirst is. "
