the banquet.

like you though, therefore, ...

"That was enough reading to me: I took notes
of the places in the scroll -- which was, actually,
a letter from a Patrician general in Gaul --, then
I grabbed my things, and took my Roman road
to Gaul, from there to the Danes, where I would
find my way to the Norse land."

A really interesting kind to tell a story :)9 .

It reminds me to an ancient theatre, and I think that was your intention, too  ;).

I hope there will follow still many adventures of Spadix in the future.

very interesting, Gustavo, and thanks for posting it in english. :)9 Love the "stage".... it's a chess or checker board, I take it? A very nice old-world look. And I like the way the different characters appeared on the stage as he read about them, to make it live. Looking forward to more!

Yes @Bonnie, it is a chess board ;D I love to use it with my playmo ... It's been wall and floor already. Now it's stage.

Great "play" Gus. Love how it shows you can tell a great story with a lot less playmo then some others *cough* *raises hand* use.

Looking forward to the next one!

I love all of it, but especially the little part about the mermaid and the viking. Their positions are just perfect for it.  :)

Will we ever get to see a sequel about Spadix his adventures during his travels?
