It was the year 1803 which was the beginning of the Napoleonic war Targon going by the name Simon Judeau would instead of fighting in the war would try to save as many lives as he could either as a medic trying to save the dying or evacuating people from any city or village near the battlefields for twelve years, then once the war had ended Simon/Targon would see more change in this century then he had seen ever since he came to this world four thousand years ago. It was now the year 1850 Targon now using the name Shaw Burns had seen technologies that were new to the humans but for him a feeling of nostalgia when he saw technology like trains, camera's, sewing machines and typewriters plus seeing some new inventions he has never seen before like telephones, steamships, motor cars and bicycles. Shaw would then begin to do some experiments with his elemental power in pocket dimension he created after centuries of honing his elemental powers is now able to get a better understanding of his powers during he discovered that those who have elemental power can manipulate the laws of chemicals and physics to some extent but one question kept nagging him for two hundred years which how and why individuals from his world could control the elements, during his experiments he learned how the magic from his world worked. While Targon now called Sanderson Reed would not fight he would take in the American Civil War by trying to save many people from getting caught in the cross fire of the war and would try to free as many slaves as he could because he was still an abolitionist, during the war he would meet Abraham Lincoln. Sanderson Reed would attend a party at president Lincoln invite, during the party Sanderson accidentally got his face wet from his drink that would splash onto his face he accidentally bumped into a guest at the party the women named Amanda would apologize for bumping into him but Sanderson would say we both were looking where we were going, Amanda would then give Sanderson a napkin to dry his face, after giving the napkin back to Amanda noticed some colour on it and would look at Sanderson face and would notice the burn mark on his face and notice that Sanderson is half blind the Lincoln would notice Sanderson face was different which would lead him to Sanderson if he was related to man named Riker Phoenix since he bared a striking resemblance to him which Sanderson was surprised to hear that question but answered that Riker Phoenix was a distant relative and would ask Lincoln how do you that name, after hear that Sanderson is a relative of Riker Phoenix Sanderson became the Center of attention, Sanderson try turn the people's attention away from himself by trying to leave the room then hear here the Riker Phoenix was an inspiration to Lincoln which shocked Sanderson. Lincoln would explain that Riker Phoenix was a true patriot and a true abolitionist while stating that Riker Phoenix was that United states have been hypocrites for almost a hundred years which is why the government has left the Phoenix family villages which surprised Sanderson because he did not think villages like Haven Vill still existed and have spread all over the United States to which Lincoln would say it is out of respect for Riker Phoenix which ever person in America has heard and still respect to this day which Sanderson was glad that what Riker Phoenix had built has endured. It was now the year 1865 that day Lincoln was assassinated which Sanderson was sad and angered that Lincoln was killed for giving African Americans citizenship which would lead he to help capture John Wilkes Booth and would make sure that Booth's would hang for killing Lincoln. Ever since Lincoln death Sanderson would try to continue where Lincoln started which would be difficult because not a large majority of the U.S congress and senate were unreasonable then would state that Lincoln would be ashamed with them all as would the founding fathers and even Riker Phoenix, it was only when Riker Phoenix congress and the senate heard the name the Riker Phoenix and would be shocked to learn that Sanderson is a related to Riker Phoenix that is when both congress and the senate would decided to put Sanderson in charge of the reconstruction of the southern states, history says the reconstruction of the southern states was completed in 1877 but in reality it took only four years thanks the effort of Sanderson Reed who the people of the southern states would never forget nor Riker Phoenix. It had been two years since Targon helped finished the reconstruction of the southern states, Targon now called Graham Ashe would work as a temporary assistant Nikola Tesla and Alexander Graham Bell, Graham's time as Tesla's and Bell's assistant was rewarding for him because he got a chance to work in the field science then one day Tesla then Bell would discover a Graham's science journal and were impressed with what they found then Graham would then ask what they are doing reading his journal to which they would explain they just found laying around and was curious what was in the book and was surprised with what was inside which surprised Graham then Tesla and Bell would ask why he does not publish what he wrote in his journal if not become an inventor himself to which Graham answers stating the technology does not exist and that the equations in his journal a just theoretical. Graham would be made into Tesla's and Bell's temporary work partner which Graham enjoyed but saddened that he had to leave his friends.
