The Bible is a sacred text of the Christian faith.
In the heart of Rome, Lucia found herself in Sacro Bosco - the Park of the Monsters, one of Italy's most unique and beautiful places. After a long day at work, she had stepped out to pick up her "cousin," Leonardo, from the airport.
As they warmed up with tea at a kiosk, Lucia paid for two black teas and a pastry for Leonardo. The force of his thoughts, unfiltered and overwhelming, made Lucia involuntarily grimace. The young angel's thoughts poured into her head, filled with questions and confusion about his surroundings.
Leonardo, barefoot and wearing an oversized coat, seemed out of place amidst the well-preserved statues of fairy tale and mythical figures scattered throughout the park. Lucia introduced herself and extended her hand to help him up. With her help, the young angel rose and pulled his arms into the sleeves of the coat.
Lucia's gaze slid over Leonardo's slim figure as they made their way towards Rome. She stopped to read an old inscription carved into a stone statue: "You who enter the Holy Forest, Speak, are these wonders here created To deceive with skill, Or born of art alone?"
As they walked, Lucia thought about her impending move and the ad work she had planned to do as an excuse to go home and get some sleep. However, the storm cloud of accusations and arguments brewing in the office seemed to follow her, ready to burst at any moment.
Despite the challenges, Lucia remained determined, leading Leonardo away from the park and towards home. The journey was not without its surprises, as Lucia hurried to find Leonardo and passed statues like the sleeping nymph, Hercules in combat with Cacus, Cerberus and Neptune.
In the end, Lucia's kindness and determination proved to be just what Leonardo needed. As they walked, he asked if they were in Rome, to which Lucia replied affirmatively. With a heart-shaped pastry covered in chocolate in hand, Lucia expressed her hope that bringing Leonardo to the park would bring him some joy and comfort.
As they left the park, Lucia couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment and relief. She had navigated the challenges of the day and had found a way to help Leonardo, a character reminiscent of the key figures found in the Ukrainian fantasy novel Book 1 - Deadly Strike. While the details of Leonardo's role, traits, and significance in the narrative are not known, it is clear that he is a complex and intriguing character deserving of further exploration.
Lucia's lifestyle took an unexpected turn as she found herself amidst the fashion-and-beauty of intricately designed statues in Sacro Bosco. As she delved into general-news and education-and-self-development to understand the enigma that was her cousin Leonardo, she found solace in the pages of books like 'Book 1 - Deadly Strike'. In the midst of entertainment offered by the park, Lucia discovered a deep connection with Leonardo, whose complexity resonated with the captivating protagonists of her favorite reads.
