Today I would like to share my version of a myth.

In Celtic mythology, we are told of Nine Sisters who guard a holy vessel on an Otherworldly island. These myths may be the prototype of the later medieval grail quests in which women - often nine of them - guard the vessel in the form of a cup, a cauldron or a grail.
