Chapter 4 - Temujin e Aníbal

Walking towards the houses that were a few miles away, I could see that it looked more like a tiny town than a village, the houses were surrounded by a colorful forest, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places I have ever had the privilege of seeing.

The chirping of the birds, the sound of the wind blowing through the trees, could calm anyone down, it was like being in a fairy tale, a little further away from us, some animals were walking and feeding on the vegetation.

"This place is beautiful," I said as I looked at the animals.

"Yes, when I arrived here I was amazed at such beauty, I thought I was in the Gardens of Eden." replied Jesus as he admired the scenery.

"Jesus, can I ask you something?" asked Jesus.

"Sure Arth" said Jesus smiling at me.

"'Mary, are your apostles here too?" I asked

"Ah, that's right, I forgot to warn you, the people selected to come here, are only the main figures of the story, unless these other figures are also, an example, Ragnar Lodbrok, is a protagonist of his story, however, his sons too, Bjorn and Ivar are here." Jesus explained

"Got it."

Arriving in the vicinity of the village, I observed the houses, made of bricks and stones, red colored roofs extending to their sides, they are basically the classic medieval houses, arriving more to the center of the village, I came across an open space, surrounded by few trees, several tables spread out, some of them already occupied by people, some were talking standing.

When we arrived, Jesus brought me to what looked like a stage, up the steps, we reached the front of the stage when Jesus, said in a loud tone.

"ATTENTION BROTHERS, PLEASE" he spoke.

Hearing Jesus' loud voice, the people below the stage looked toward the podium.

"We have among us, one more brother, meet Arthur Miller" Jesus said as he introduced me to everyone.

"..."

"Introduce yourself Arth" spoke Gandhi whispering.

"Hello everyone, it's an honor to meet you" I said.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE BOY? WHAT'S YOUR STORY TELL US" a man shouted.

The man had red hair and green eyes, he was very tall and had a long red beard.

"Shut up Temujin, you'll scare the boy with that fair face of yours" replied another man next to the red haired man.

The man had a flat nose and a short stature, as well as a beard dyed gray and long brown hair.

"DO YOU WANT TO FIGHT ATTILA?" Shouted Temujin

"LET'S GO!" Retorted Attila.

"Please guys, leave the fighting for later, we have a new person joining us today." Spoke Buddha looking at the two.

"Right" spoke both of them, showing the respect he felt for Buddha.

"Tell your story, Arth, only if you want to." Buddha said while looking at me.

I nodded my head to Buddha, looked at the people in front of the stage, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and began.
