Pet Pals: Marco Polo’s Code

The Crow Witch hates Venice. Her hatred for the city dates back to when she was a young witch and fell into the lagoon during a magic experiment, thereby creating general hilarity among all the witches and wizards present. Now that she has found a Palace in the Himalayas which contains all the magic created by the Wizards of the Orient over the last five thousand years, she intends to use the spells within the Palace of Magic for a single purpose: to drain the lagoon and turn it into a city like every other, with roads instead of canals and cars instead of gondolas and boats. In other words, to destroy Venice.
