But he played the lyre and sang, and his music was understood and what he said Nuredduna his eyes and fell in love with him. Disobeying his own Nuredduna Melesigeni helped escape, and that the pay action being sacrificed her place Melesigeni, dying stoned. At the expiry of the stones told "For a beat your heart desire expires, we would calmthe centuries we have. "

"NUR in ancient languages means fire, why the Phoenicians called Nura to the island of Menorca, where Talaiots singularly abundant monuments that still today are called Nuraghe in Sardinia. This becomes Nuredduna as a personification of the sacred fire of the race, his poetic Priestess. And I've given it hissing character is rooted in the tradition of Mallorca Sibil.la. "
