So this is the story I am trying to complete by october - for I wish to participate to the 24 hours comics here in Singapore.
It's called "So gild the lilies away" - it's a story about the impossibility to stop people from meeting and mixing as history and civilization are made of "marriages after barbarian invasion".
It's a sticky topic because the immigration phenomenon is huge and affecting many Countries and after thousands of years we still cannot find an actual solution... except for life to carry its own course and blood be mixed.
Well not quite... how to say... to make it simple: it does not matter how much you shut your doors, it's people walking around the globe that makes it spin, the door will soon be opened and new cultures are born from cultures merging.
The funny thing is you will not see any of this in the story. You just see a girl with a key and bad people trying to stop her.
The boy helping her has no place to call home, instead, and he is in search of his own cultural identity.
