Ex Oh: Fixed. No, actually they're inspired by Final fantasy and Xenosaga (note the obelisk) Vol 3 takes place in a large city that looks like Manhattan, NY. The quest deals with an Artifact called the seeing stone, that has an inscription written on it. this one is most interesting because like an extinct movie Idea I had, it contains alot of Judeo-Christian References. Sadly, I had to omit it after getting told by a few good friends...
I was also told by IMjessieTR (some of you may know her) that it makes Pokemon 3's story seem more celtic like. this would lead into the fact that the way the final Voluem of "The Mizrahi Chronicles" was/Is set: Its a complete take on the Scottish Legend of Deirdre. Never the less, it is very long and drawn out. The prequel to the series was inspired by a Fashback story that Roxy Parkington wrote in a larger story Dealing with Her character Roxy and Molly's supposed "Brother" Joseph. I obtained the 'rights' to remake "Through the Fire" and made it "The world is Quiet Here" A nod to the Snicket books
