In case you were wondering about the name of this blog, "allerion" is a word I came across when I was anagramming my name (oh, that's just one of my many exciting hobbies!). I looked it up and it's a type of bird found on coats of arms and such. It's "an eagle-like bird from medieval bestiaries. They were said to be larger than an eagle, the color of fire, and the royalty of birds. There would only be two allerions at a time, and they would drown themselves after laying two eggs for the next generation. The chicks would then be cared for by other birds." So, they sound kinda emo, drowning themselves and all, but they're not real anyway! I just am a big fan of birds.
