pagans who believed in the Greek god Artemis. Arethusa's father was Catholic
and constantly beat up on his wife. When he discovered proof of their beliefs,
he decided to take his wife and Arethusa back to their homeland. On the way

The living bookends also tell him about a girl they transported into the book 1001 Arabian Nights 20 years ago.
