CHAPTER TWELVE

Two thousand five hundred and twelve years had passed since I had first arrived in ancient Greece. We were aboard the Titanic headed for the United States. I knew, and had passed on the information to my boys, that the ship was doomed to sink. There was no way in hell that I would pass up the chance to be on the Titanic and witness first hand this significant historical event. In all the many years that we had been alive, we had been witness to many events of historical significance and several that were significant, but would never make it into the history books.

I knew Napoleon and many other figures relevant to history and some not; rather I should say, had known. The boys and I wanted to intervene many times, but we could not interfere. We had watched a great many wars. Monarchs fell and monarchs rose. We had watched and seen a great many other things that history got wrong, not naming any specific thing. I don’t want to throw the world into a tailspin when they find out certain things in history were made up. I also knew what would be coming in the future and I would be there to personally witness those events as well and see what history got wrong there. One day I would write a book that detailed all the little and big things that historians got wrong. From before my time, I could not give them any information, but Akakios was a better researcher and historian than anyone alive in my time and he already knew about the things that had been gotten wrong. I had even punched a Pope once. I did not know I would be meeting a new one eventually and what role we would have to play in the Catholic Church. Not in a religious way though.

We still continued to dress the same throughout our long time. But for our trip aboard the Titanic we had decided to dress more appropriately wearing the formal upper class attire of the time. Our armor and loin cloths were stored in our luggage in our cabins.

We departed on April 10, 1912 from Southampton, England. People on the boat either avoided us or tried to figure us out. After more than twenty five hundred years of life, fighting and learning the ways and cultures of the world, a person tended to look dangerous and frightening, no matter what you did to dissuade that image. People usually took one look at us and scampered off in the opposite direction, crossed the street or dropped their gaze and hurried away. It was saddening in a way, but also gave us room to breathe without too many people becoming overly curious about us. But on the ship, this was more difficult to accomplish, so people were forced into our company though most tried to pretend we were not really there.

We were quite capable of civil conversation and laughing. After the first couple of hours people became more comfortable with us.
