Sybrina Durant
“While not all elements in the Periodic Table are represented by letters of the alphabet, some in this book (Magical Elements of the Periodic Table Presented Alphabetically by the Metal Horn Unicorns), are introduced by alternate designations. For instance, Tungsten is also known as Wolfram so “W” is used as the entry for that alphabetical letter in this book. The letter “W” is also used as the atomic symbol for Tungsten in all periodic tables.”
Sybrina Durant, Magical Elements of The Periodic Table: Presented Alphabetically by The Metal Horn Unicorns

“In the history of the earth, the sun remains still.”
