[...] En su viaje por Asia y Europa
no encontró la decadencia,
sino que halló una belleza
que sus dioses paganos le habían negada:
Bosques de bambú, verdes árboles, aguas cristalinas,
fuertes volcanes, vientos de alegría;
templos, Iglesias, Plazas, Ciudades,
gente, rocas, plantes, animales.
No existía enemistad, había amor.
No había inmoral, sino religión.
Pues el dolor se había pasado,
La Peste Negra había acabado. [...]

Juan Antonio Valero
"El Porqué del encantamiento de Dulcinea"

When I went to "La Granja", a spanish palace, I saw a picture depicting Europe and Asia: Europe was a woman with white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes, holding a palace-like building in one hand, and being grabbed by a bull (Zeus, a greek god). Asia was a woman with brown skin; her face was partially covered and was holding a camel with one of her hands. This picture gave me the inspiration I needed for this deviation.

I put a random vixen as Europe, and Kyumara Kitsune (do you remember her?) as Asia, with a beautiful, coloured backgroud and many representative items of the two cultures... Europe for reason, Asia for imagination.

Hope you like it.
