Some time ago, I visited the Pena Castle in Portugal and it gave me the inspiration to write a whole story with this castle located near Lisbon.
Here is the most emblematic moment of my story. For me, there are two very important characters, two sister and rival countesses. I had imagined that this castle had always housed a school of magic. It is built on top of a fairly large hill, and below there is a gigantic cavern where 3 magical creatures lived, Titans. I see them as three dragons, they are at the origin of the magic here.
In the 18th century, the direction of the school of magic is done by these two rival sisters, and they must manage a very serious crisis situation. Indeed, it has been hundreds of years that the health of the Titans has been deteriorating without knowing why, and in their time already two titans have died, there is only one left quite weak. So the magic becomes very weak and they are ready to do anything to save it. But they do not agree on the methods to use to get there.
There is the green countess who lives outside the castle in a chalet (which really exists), she is a supporter of magic with nature and plants, which takes its time. For her, it is necessary to take the time to care for the environment in depth to help this last titan. But her sister the dark countess does not agree with her, for her there is an absolute emergency and there is no time for this method. The solution lies in the dark occult arts. She lives in the undergrounds of the castle and she will be at the origin of a dramatic event that will turn everything upside down.
