Subject: Re: The term fledgling and other terminology?

Well, before I invented my original FK fanfic character, Nichole Knight, I had
done tons of research to find anything similar to a *mortal's* way of
procreating for a vampire.  Thus, I found the legend of a *dhampir*.  According to my
understand of the myth, when a male Romanian Gypsy dies and comes back as a
vampire.  Most of the time, this male vampire has an unnatural need to have sex with
his widow and if this encounter ends in a pregnancy, the child born is
half-vampire and half-human or witch.  It is also said that the child would have this
driving need to hunt down its undead relatives and kill them, but they are not
very trust worthy as they, themselves, are half undead.  Of course that is only
an outline of the myth and it does not go into too much detail, so I did invent
a few myself.

  I wish FK had gone into more of the old myths, but sadly they didn't. To sum
it up, there are terms that have been used from ancient times, with many being
renamed and reinvented to fit into modern tales. The lines blur, and before we
know it people forget the origins. I think this is true in the FK world.

I think he looks wonderful no matter what.  He got more handsome with age
and gets better everytime.  It looks like he joins Jack to find the gas, but
I'm still betting he turns later and the President is naughty as well, don't
know where yet.

May the love and warmth of a bloody Valentine boil your blood to enjoy
the simple pleasures of this day or should I say, Knight.

Subject: GWD's father knighted!

The February issue of _Ninnau_ (the North American Welsh
newspaper) has and article on p. 19 with the headline:
"Knighthood for the Rev. Dr. Cerwyn Davies". The Rev. Davies
was invited to become the spiritual head of the Toronto
priory of the International Order of St. George and was
thus "dubbed and spurred as a knight of the International
Order of St. George" on Oct. 25, 2005.  The article explains
that since St. George was a horseman, the title "Chevalier"
is given to his knights and that "chevalier" is from the
French word for horse, "cheval", which is related to the
Welsh "ceffyl".  St. George is the patron saint of twelve
other countries besides England and of soldiers, cavalry,
chivalry, farm workers, Boy scouts, butchers, horses, riders,
saddlers, archers, and the Knights of the Round Table.  He
seems to be the only saint who was a horseman.

The article includes a brief history of the order.  It
began in Hungary (wave to Gladys Bears) when its king,
Robert of Anjou created the Knightly Order of St. George in
1326 (a hundred years too late for Nick).  The second order
of St. George was created in England. (Order of the Garter)
After the Communist takeover of Hungary, the Order went
underground there, but enjoyed a "spectacular re-emergence"
(emerged from its world of darkness, as it were) in the
years following 1989.  "Its constitution was ratified at a
ceremony in Budapest in the presence of the President's
representative, the Prince Cardinal of Hungary, the Senior
Protestant Bishop and the Hungarian Senior Judge."  The
Order came to North America in 2002, establishing a priory
in Niagara Falls.  The Priory of Toronto was established
on Oct. 29, 2005.

Yes, there is a picture, but no, I do not have the
equipment to scan it.  He is wearing his medal and smiling.
