Distinction - released very soon on your e notches, when I say ten chapters consistent, I'm eight ... - Turn gives voice to Cyrus and Harry. The first is a student in London and started in complicated cases as only he knows how ... But I promise, it has also grown a lot, even though he kept some of his insecurities, and it also has notable successes! The second student is "nomadic" because such wants his training breaker spells. He is currently in Venice for a whole series of reasons : He had to put Europe to the simplicity of certain interactions (if it was in Africa or Japan, it might not come to London for the weekend very often), I did not feel that it is not in France .... no, not envy, I love Venice ... and I needed a Carnival too ... and I just close my eyes to see the magical Venice suggested by Ugo Pratt in 're Celtic or Fables Venice .
short, Harry is a Venice and soon, there is a bunch of questions about how to go for maximum use of that location, not to say anything either ... Where is the neighborhood witch? Where is his school? What are the specifics of the magic city? In less time than it takes to write, I'm reading the stories of the Carnival of Venice and its meaning, legends of Venice, about its history, and more broadly on the popular representation of witchcraft Northern Italy (no kidding) ... In short, I do not write anything without a number of crutches .... and here is a good place to talk about ....
Exercise is a little dangerous because I did not want to sully my story - even if the readership of this blog is relatively small. But I can already say that many wizards that Harry and his friends Cimballa Ada, live in the Ghetto Vieccho - there, I walk directly in the footsteps of Ugo Pratt. The commercial district - called Mercato dei Bizantini, the market Byzantines - is closer to the Rialto. The school attended by Harry too.
Name the market ... um, I thought back to all those exchanges that have made the Adriatic from Venice in richness of history and rivalry with Byzantium / Constantinople / Istanbul ... and Greece, this summer I saw too many things Turkish called "Byzantine" ... There ...
Now and for the purpose of my narrative, I enter the magical wildlife Venice, imagining a series of creatures that haunt the waters of its lagoon. From Chapter 7, I Sirenen mentions the " d e all peoples of the lagoon, they are considered the most proud and most devious of humans . Their passion for gold and precious stones yields only to that of the Goblins themselves and the means they use to acquire them are not always advisable " says Harry. Are you ready for mid-pirates mermaids half-bird? We'll see in Chapter 9, on which I have just put me to work! So we must wait for another time that I speak of my sources to create Sirénéens!
I could more easily tell you about my other characters Venetian Tiziano Cimballa, his grandfather and his sister, the mysterious Ada, the other students spell breakers, etc. ... but it will be funnier when you have met, right? I promise to make cards on them ... especially Ada, elsewhere ...
