This work is a screenshot redraw from a 1974 movie called “The Deluge”(Potop), the movie is an adaptation of “The Deluge”(Potop) novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz.

Why I drew that is under the cut/read more, if you’re interested...

Andrzej Kmicic and Aleksandra Billewiczówna’s relationship is very similar to what Anakin and Padme has in The Clone Wars cartoon, with Andrzej being a hot-headed mess, who has the best of intentions but poor judgment and even worse moral compass while Aleksandra, Andrzej’s fiancee (their marriage was arranged by their guardians), is a very patriotic, level-headed young woman who happened to fall head over heels for her impulsive future husband, but she couldn’t just be in a relationship with a "ruffian” such as Andrzej thus she rejected him (and by extend choosing a life of a nun). Brokenhearted Andrzej threw himself into a life of  servitude for his motherland, hoping that his good deeds might clear his tarnished name but also, by extend, make Aleksandra change her mind about him.

Not to mention there is a whole plethora of interesting characters, for example Michał Wołodyjowski, lovingly called “Little Knight” due to his smaller stature, who is like... Obi-Wan Kenobi of The Trilogy (a trilogy of novels by. H. Sienkiewicz, The Deluge is a part of), by not only being very patriotic and wise soldier but also a great military tactician, excellent swordsman and a very important figure in Andrzej’s redemption.

The Deluge is a very interesting book. A very long novel split into three parts! Some of you might find it dated - It was written in XIX century after all. Some of you might find it quite alien as it is basically a mixture of Polish patriotism, action, adventure and romance, where the most of the main cast is semi-fictional but thrown into an actual historical events with actual historical figures.

Special thanks goes to @kalm5​ who survived my insane ramblings about how Andrzej Kmicic is basically “a what if... TCW!Anakin was a XVII century Polish nobleman... because the resemblance is UNCANNY like...  destroying a village in act of revenge... war crimes... and... and STUFF!” and then how “kontusz is like super nice and would look great on anyone - let me send you this random out-of-focus photo I made of this random person wearing black-and-red kontusz because that’s totally Clone Force 99′s look if they were XVII century Polish nobility, because... like! you’ll see-!”.

Olenka Egorova

Nacida en el año 2007, Olenka fue una estudiante de la Casa Alkonost. Sin embargo, a pesar de sus habilidades mágicas, Olenka fue "Despojada" de su varita y de su poder por ser lesbiana, considerado por la URMS la Cuarta Maldición Imperdonable. Su única opción para sobrevivir al ser convertida en una Razdetyy, fue prostutuirse, por lo que trabajó en la Casa Roja hasta que tuvo dinero suficiente para tener un hogar alejado de la aldea, con algunas ovejas. Se gana la vida con lo que le dan sus ovejas, pero es una marginada social. No puede hacer ningún tipo de magia, incluso si hace magia espontánea, será castigada por los Flagelantes. Tampoco puede salir de Rusia. Al estar marcada, no la dejan pasar la frontera, ya que de ser descubierta, sería repatriada a Rusia, y entregada directamente para ser encerrada en el GUMAG.

Memoria:

Amorosa fue la abuela que nunca conocí,

bebedor el abuelo.

La apariencia de un apellido sin origen,

de una familia sin raíces.

La memoria perdida,

el pasado desconocido,

los anteojos empañados.

Hoy estamos habitados.

El colectivo llega siempre

aunque la espera sea larga,

tiene un fin.

Nuestra vida también.

En sus hijos y nietos vive su legado

que sin principio aparente

ya tiene un futuro asegurado.
