Salai, did you see the crossbow model?

“Salai, did you see the crossbow model?” Da Vinci walked around the workshop, bending at each corner and under each table searching.

“What crossbow? I didn’t even know you had weapons in here.” Salai sat on the posing podium and didn’t raise his head to the question.

“I designed a model for a far bigger crossbow, one that can defend a city.” Da Vinci stepped around Salai as he continued his search.

“What an idea. Crossbows are assault weapons, not defense weapons, still, you have so much...

Stealing Da Vinci 2

“So, you are a student of the arts, seeking to learn from Master Da Vinci?” A handsome man with curly hair addressed Robin.

“Yes, my tutors back in Mont Saint Michel praised Master Da Vinci so much,” Robin answered his host with a forced smile.

“I thought I could place your accent, but seems that I was wrong,” the other man gave a rich laugh and continued, “France was not my first guess, that is certain.”

Robin laughed with the other man for a moment, and thought that he would never have...

Stealing Da Vinci

He walked as if he owned the world, one foot striking the ground after another, seeking the house of the famed painter, Leonardo Da Vinci, but deep down he was trembling and fear shook him with each new step.

Robin was not the most powerful of the blues, but he was powerful enough to know if a spirit was telling the truth or not.

He remembered the events leading to his stroll in Milan, a call from the council to discuss another premonition of doom.

Robin and all the other blues could commune...

To build a step pyramid

“Great and almighty Djoser.” A shorter than the average Egyptian man stood in front of the God king of Egypt, he unrolled his papyrus parchments in a great show then he said, “I present to you, the great Pyramid, as a resting place for your body till the day it is called back to Earth.”

The God king signaled to his chief scribe to take the plans from the short man.

After examining the plans for some minutes, Djoser raised his head and looked intently to the diminutive architect, then he said,...

The Divine Zalmoxis

“They are about to make you a god,” a man in togas screamed at another sitting calmly behind a desk. “And you are just a stripped Purple.”

“No, they will not,” the sitting man laughed hard, “but it is not bad to be treated with deference after all that happened.”

“I was mistaken to take you in,” the other man shook his head as he talked. “I should have left to brave this world alone.

“Relax Pythagoras,” the sitting man stood to face Pythagoras, “I appreciate all you did for me, besides, I am...

Story of A Book

For those following this blog, or those who read our book, I have a story to share, but this story is nothing like the fiction we usually share here, it is the story of a book, and this book is The Green Boy.

Every work of fiction has a story behind it, usually of an author who had a dream and worked for days to assemble it in words, like all those books, we have also a story and we guarantee that it is rather unique.

The story starts some years ago, when Isaac Michaan, a Brazilian...

The Once and Future …..

“Dear Arthur,” Merlin addressed Arthur who wore a long frown. “The once and future king, is something just to make people gather under your flag, nothing more.”

“I don’t like the sound of it though.” Arthur stood and paced the hidden room, and his steps resounded to the far wall. “I don’t have to like anything we are doing here from start to end.”

“Just remember our oath,” Merlin said with sober tones, as he walked to place a hand over Arthur’s shoulder, stopping his pacing. “The Chronicler...
