		Lissa tentatively told her husband, “I think I can do this through second grade, but after that, we’re going to have to find another option.” But home schooling gradually became a conviction and a way of life for the family.
		At one point, Lissa called several local private schools, but learned that her children would be divided between three different campuses for different grade levels.

	The Story
		At this time the noblemen of Lessina were given properties on Lissa and the local population became tenant farmers to the Lessina "landlords." Again, the people were basically serfs or vassals with no landholding rights and were subject to the whims and foibles of their local and far off masters.
		The battle resulted in the death of 8,000 men of the Italian and Spanish chivalry, and twice that many were wounded.
		This was the turning point in the battle against the Turks, but it still took 300 years to fully displace the Turks in the area of the Balkans.

	Lissa Russell (Werewolf sister, Vampire by Night mother)
		Lissa was then captured by obsessed hunter Joshua Kane who used her cry for help to lure the Werewolf closer, then threatened her with a gun to keep him at a distance until the moon went down and the Werewolf changed back into Jack who then fled out.
		Lissa and Buck remained entranced when Moondark turned Jack back into the Werewolf and again forced him to fight Spider-Man. It wasn't until Spider-Man vaulted Moondark through the "Mists of Passage" that he used for teleportation that his spells were broken, Jack returned to normal and Lissa and Buck came out of their trance.
		However, Lissa was so traumatized by her experience that she denied her transformation had even occurred, instead believing that what she recalled was only a nightmare...and she spoke in the singsong voice of a ten-year-old.

		The former were intended to sail in line of battle, and engage the enemy broadside on, at distances of sometimes 10 metres, with the aim of boarding and capturing, rather than sinking, the enemy.
		Lissa was a scrappy and clumsy affair with ironclads blundering about, unable to aim with much precision, and hence missing or colliding with each other.
		Lissa was nevertheless indecisive and insignificant, and typically, the powers took all the wrong lessons from the battle: for the next 30 years all navies were obsessed with ramming, and ironclads had heavy underwater 'beaks' at the bows.
