Captain Martini in the Mediterranean

Thursday 31st August 2023 – Sorrento, Italy - It just takes a little Chutzpah!

It was our last day today aboard the beautiful Silver Nova and our port of call was another tender port. With something of a swell this morning, it meant that the tenders took longer to load with passengers and we ended up waiting around 45 minutes to go ashore, landing in the tiny harbour at the foot of Sorrento’s iconic cliffs.

They can’t get large coaches down to the harbour, so there was a very efficient shuttle arrangement to take people up to the coach park and the tour buses.

Our excursion today was entitled ‘Sorrento Coast and Tasting at Casale Villarena’ and we had just one photo-stop on the way, with a splendid view of the Isle of Capri.

Then it was on to the district of Nerena, our ‘tastings’. To be honest, it was more of a full scale lunch, with a large plate of antipasti, two wines and cake drizzled in lemon honey for dessert.

Needless to say, there was the opportunity to taste some Limonchello, as well as to buy the wines. If I’m honest, some of the flavours offered were not my taste and I enjoyed those in Malta rather more.

On the other hand, any restaurant, bar or ‘casale’ that plays composer John Barry’s music in the background (as this one did) can’t be bad in my books!

Returning to Sorrento, Andrew headed for the shuttle back to the tender, while Angie went off to investigate the shopping. I went in search of a photo-opportunity and, following my nose and instinct, I found myself outside the entrance to the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria.

From the entrance I could see all the way through to what looked like a balcony beyond, so I casually but confidently just walked all the way through and took my picture of Silver Nova at anchor, with Vesuvius in the background….

I still had to get back to the harbour of course but quite by chance, I spotted an elevator from the balcony; so I got in and went down, to discover that it came out at the tiny harbour just a few yards from the ship’s tender pontoon. Indeed, Andrew was still in the queue waiting to get on the next tender!

Maybe it was because it was the last day of our rather wonderful cruise or because I was thinking about the fact that my Dad was here (aged only 22 years old) just after the War and brought my Mum here more than once for holidays in the 1960s, but I confess that I was feeling a little melancholic for much of the morning. However, my discovery of the hotel balcony and its ‘secret’ elevator right down to the harbour cheered me up no end! You see, it only takes a little ‘chutzpah’!

SILVAZE FAMILY IS HERE!!!!! I've been thinking a lot about the concepts I wanted to explore with them and their lore and I'm finally satisfied with the result! Even though I'm not a big fan of Silvaze, I think the dynamics between them are interesting to work with. And for my AU, they're quite relevant!

Here are some fun facts about them in my Sonic Next Gen AU:

Blaze and Silver, the Empire of the Guardians.

- Silver and Blaze were together at the end of the Great Incident at the End of the World, a bigger problem that arose and began with Villains already known to them and Sonic's gang. - After Blaze became Queen of the Sun Empire, Blaze lost contact with Sonic and his friends. She could no longer return to their dimension, as she now understood the consequences her Trips there had within the Dimensions. - Her routine became more hectic than ever, although she always remained a responsible and organized Cat in her duties as Royalty. - Silver understood that Blaze was an important part of his life after all the past events, and so he made the Sacrifice of staying by her side in her Dimension. Leaving his future origin and his old team in it, who were now also in good hands and safe, in an emotional farewell. - Even though Silver decided to stay with Blaze, he remained responsible for being the Guardian of Time. Having possession of the Time Stones and ensuring that no one interferes in any event, be it past, present or future. - After time passed, as they were now married, ruling their own Empire and being guardians of powerful jewels with Blaze, Silver always wanted to start a family. But it was a distant thought, since pregnancy between different Species was risky for both the mother and the child. Blaze also didn't like the idea of ​​being a mother very much, even though she knew that at some point, she would need someone to inherit her legacy as Queen coming from the same blood. - After some hesitation, Blaze makes the decision. She would also like to start a family with Silver, and is now more open to the idea. She mentions that he made many sacrifices for her and she was willing to do the same for him.

Chance and Cyrus, the Twins coming from the Sun.

- Chance and Cyrus are twins, born during sunset. Their names refer to Good Luck and Enlightenment. - Chance is worthy of inheriting and ruling the Sun Empire in the future, as she is the first to be born. - Although they were very close when they were younger, Cyrus feels that Chance should not inherit the Throne. Since she feels unprepared and often overestimated, this leads to the birth of a greater Envy. - Chance and Cyrus were conceived with their mother's Pyrokinetic powers. But not only these, they also inherited The Eternal Flames. Their mastery of these is equivalent to the total mastery of fire that will never go out, being lethal if it reaches its Peak. Their powers were dormant within them when they were still young, and neither of them knew about it… Until they became young Adults. - Cyrus can also teleport and create weapons through telekinetic powers. Chance has always been very reluctant about his powers over fire, having much more connection to the Flames than his brother. - Chance, despite being destined for the Throne, never felt confident about it. She talks countless times about her insecurity with her father, with the fear of disappointing everyone. Silver has always been one of her great voices to guide and calm her. While her mother, has always been the inspiration to keep doing the right thing and be determined during her journey. - Cyrus has always shown interest in the throne, but while he has not yet achieved it, he has trained to continue as the protector of Time, like his father. Although he was never able to actually go with him during his time away, he learned a lot from Silver about how time can be treacherous and affect countless events… Something he always reminds himself of.

Nova Del Sol, the Youngest Prince.

- Nova is the youngest child and also the most withdrawn of the other two siblings. Born during the night, this last pregnancy was the calmest Blaze has had, which was a positive surprise, knowing the great risks involved in having children of different species. - Unlike his two siblings, Nova never had any great connections with fire, he always had an irrational fear of large Flames. - He was always very interested in the stars and the waters. - Nova has the ability to create a Gravitational Field, despite being a child, he gained great mastery over his powers. As a baby, his abilities acted erratically and almost always as his feelings took over. - Blaze always comforts him by reading books and telling stories during his nightmares, something that happens quite often. - Silver always enjoyed playing with him, creating stories and helping him with his lessons. Although he is always surprised by his own son's reasoning ability. - There are times when Nova says, "I've seen this before," but in reality, he has brief visions of the future. He still hasn't figured out the purpose of this, perhaps it's to predict something worse coming in the future…

Extra Fun Fact: All 3 children end with "Del Sol" since they are children of mixed species. A concept I put into my Next Gen AU: Although they are not necessarily a mix of species, their names do not end with the animal they are. Which indicates that they are considered hybrid children! (The theory of Amy Rose being part Echidna is interesting to me too lol) Finally, I believe that's it! I've been planning to write and draw some scenes about them. Even though I've already shown a bit of Chance's old concept here, I feel like I ended up giving her a new vision, and besides… I ended up adapting what was already going to happen before >:) See here also my SonAmy kid: Skyler The Hedgehog! See here also my Shadow's kid: Aura The Porcupine! Thank you very much for reading, sorry for the English mistakes! <3
