CHIMAERA

'False hope, apparition of imagination' 'Delirium, deceptive illusion of the mind' (Written in an attempt at Ancient Greek along the sides... The runes simply say Chimaera). My own interpretation of the Ancient Greek part goat, lion and serpent monster surviving today as a word in the English dictionary meaning 'a mental illusion' and in biology as a group of deep water cartilagenous fishes seeming to be composed of parts from different organisms.
