Hello all you lovely readers!

Just letting you know that we have plenty more content to come soon but for now I have an exciting announcement!

Our new series Life with Dragons is up and ready for you all to see. To be completely honest, I don't know how often this will be updated but it will showcase the day to day lives of Gabriel and Axel, as well as answering any practical questions you might all have.

I hope you enjoy it! Here you go:

Thanks everyone!

Hello all you lovely readers!

First of all, I just want to say a huge big thank you for following our comic and finishing the first chapter with us! Hooray!

I've always seen this first chapter as a pilot, a proof of concept if you will. It introduced the basic story elements, the main characters and even had a little bit of action. I'm really excited about the next few chapters as I feel like the story truly begins and we get to show you all the rest of our characters, plots and relationships!

The problem is life got a little in the way. I've had to travel quite a bit (brother just had a baby in Australia, gran was sick in Cyprus, cousin got married) and Daniel has been busy as well, so we've fallen a little behind on the comic. So, in order not to leave you all hanging in the middle of a chapter, I've decided to put Silver Linings on a short hiatus. Once we've caught up, we will go back to the regular release schedule and barring anything major happens (fingers crossed everything in our lives stays great) we won't be having any more breaks.

So again, thank you all so much for the support! I hope you stick around for the rest of our story, there's a lot more very interesting stuff to come that I am insanely excited to share with you all!

I can't wait to continue releases pages!

There is a bridge in the middle of Greece- the Bridge of Arta. It stands, unremarkable, over the river Arachtos, where it lends itself to the feet of passers-by, most of whom wouldn't know of the remarkable history.
You see, it took 1300 builders, 45 masons, 60 apprentices and several years to build this relatively small bridge. This elite workforce would spend an entire day, slaving away and building, only to find that the foundations would collapse every night. The more they built, the faster the bridge would collapse.
One day, a bird with a human voice appeared before the head builder.
"For the bridge to stand, you must sacrifice that which you hold dearest in the world"
The head builder immediately realised that the bird meant his wife. He was a man of duty, however, so without a second thought, he ordered his men to bring his wife. As they buried his wife in the foundations, she screamed and struggled, cursing all who were to cross the bridge. The wife vowed that the bridge would flutter like a leaf, and those who pass it would also fall like leaves.
The head builder knew of the sacrifice they were both making and he appealed to his wife, reminding her of all the good the bridge would bring. In doing so, he also reminded her of her brother who was a merchant abroad at the time. She realised that he would also use the bridge at some point and the ice around her heart melted. The poison from her tongue was neutralised and the curse transformed into a blessing:
"As the tall mountains tremble, so shall the bridge tremble, and as the birds of prey fall, so shall passers fall".

The tale of the bridge of Arta has been told many a time and some would have you believe that there is a more grounded, historical explanation.

It was a time of Turkish occupation and the Turks needed to cross the river with supplies so they tasked the Greeks with building the bridge. The Greeks, however, were rebellious until the end and spent tireless nights, tearing down the foundations they had built during the day. Furious, the Turkish general demanded an answer for the delay and the locals blamed the bridge's collapse on ghosts. The general would have none of it so he slaughtered the head builder with his wife and struck fear into the villager's hearts. Almost petrified, the Greeks spent the next few days building the bridge to completion and cursing the Turks.

As with all history and myth, however, it is up to the imagination of the reader to choose which truth they accept. Is the world grounded and cruel, or magical and full of life lessons? The modern Greeks near Arta seem to prefer the legends over the facts at least, so it's up to you to decide what you would rather believe.
