ok but you said Greece or Italy. I'm just trying to find out what I should be looking for.
(you know if you keep doing that your eyes and/or lips will get stuck that way *ducks from hurled bottle*)
so does it actually have to be set there or can the MC be from there?
Mod
lmao !!!! OK I got my list to start with :)
ok so does the book have to be set in that location or can the person just be from that location? (like a French spy) Are those the only acceptable locations?

Ezinwanyi~still loves Spartacus wrote: "How about it everyone, what is Cupid? angel, fairy etc?"Well, in school we've been taught that he is the "god of love" ... however, he really does not look like a god to me! He is always portrayed like more of an angel-like creature... So i always think of him as an angel...
Mod
that makes sense because he is a son of two deities. though he looks like a cherub fairy
Miss Ezi - how did I miss your challenge SMH I'm in - not sure of level yet.

Re: Truth:
Sorry, but Cupid is an angel, not a demon.
Besides, Jekyl & Hyde was last month's creature :D

CUPID: Fairy or Cherub Angel or god?
*I am unsure of whether Cupid is a fairy or Cherub angel or just a deity, but cupid is a supernatural creature. Cupid is born of Aphrodite (Venus) and Ares (Mars). Cupid is the god of desires, erotic love, attraction and affection. He is a small winged blindfolded boy that carries a bow and arrow.
