Chapter 20

2148 CE...

Tick tock, the sound of the clock was heard at the distant. As the gears rotated, the clock worked.

A man in suit can be seen fixing the cuffs of his black suit while listening to the news about a cache found underneath the Martian surface containing advance scientific knowledge.

He is on a mansion somewhere on Washington. The television then suddenly switched to some fashion news after the report regarding the cache of technology found on Mars.

The man then waved his hand as the television suddenly turned off and disappeared, as if it's not even there in the first place.

The man walked towards the window and sighed deeply as someone suddenly entered his bwdroom without knocking.

"Master, they're waiting." said a beautiful girl around the age of 21 years old. She has blonde colored hair, blue eyes, and a fair white complexion. If she lived during a certain moustache man era then she'll definitely be considered as a pure breed of his so-called "Superior race" of people.

"Is that so? Tell them to wait on the room. I need to do something first." ordered the man to the woman as he tied the necktie around his neck with ease.

"As you wish sir." the woman bowed and left silently and the door behind her automatically closed.

The man slowly walked towards the window and tapped some button beside it as the window suddenly changed and completely covered with durable metallic covers.

All windows and even the automatic sliding door was locked and covered with metal platings. It's sealed fron the outside world making it a safe place for anyone and everyone to tell their stories.

The man walked towards the bookshelf and pressed some books in on a particular pattern resembling a skull.

The bookshelf then suddenly moved soundless, revealing a staircase that leads to something underground.

The man then gently pushed a brick on his left side. The brick sunk and the other bricks suddenly glow in a dull light revealing a path.

The man took his first steps on the staircase as the bookshepf suddenly moved once more, sealing the whole passage.

The man trekked the stairs and after sometime, ended up in front if a large stone door with a weird logo of a double headed eagle carved directly.

The man pushed the stone wall and entered the dark room without a care for the world. He then walked towards switch of light, illuminated by a small red LED on top of it to use it.

As he flicked the switch, then whole room was illuminated with bright white light. Inside, all sorts of different items can be seen.

Swords from all cultures. The Roman Gladius, the crescent blade of the middle eastern people, the sabre of the Chinese, the katana, and no-dachi of the Japanese.

Armor from all periods, the samurai armor of the Japanese, the Lorica Segmentata of the Romans, the full plate armor of a medieval knight, and many more including uniforms.

Firearms, from flintlocks to muskets, then to revolvers and finally assault rifles.

The scene inside definitely looked like an armory of some sort but in reality it's not. Each piece of equipment here has a special name tag on the bottom of it, telling anyone who sees it on who used these weapons and what time.

Some of the name tags include, Napoleon I under a certain french artillery uniform, a european armor under the nametag of Oda Nobunaga, and many more other.

But the very thing that made all of them special are a little hidden logo embroidered on each of them in some hidden way that can only be seen by using ultra concentrated uv light to make it appear.

The logo is an aquila, that's not on the historical books. This insignia that's supposedly used by the gods of the Roman underworld vanished. Even historians can't find the truth if they really used this as their official insignia.

This family are using advance metal forming techniques long before it got discovered by people on the middle ages.

This Spinther family is advance in all aspects, their technology is on the medieval level whilst the others are still on the bronze age.

Something like this made them mysterious, more so their sudden disappearance after the fall of Rome. Historians claimed that they're all massacred by the invading barbarians as the whole family is holding a banquet during the attack.

But this man knew better, he spent decades studying everything left about them. Everything.

He then discovered through archaeological sites that they definitely used the weird aquila and a skull as their coat of arms or family insignia.

And this coat of arms can be seen on important artifacts all over the world. As if, they've known about the other nations other than Rome and its neighbor at that time.

The man then slowly walked towards the most recent piece of artifact he has managed to take. This artifact is rather special as it's a weird looking statue, never before seen nor described in all piece of literature around the world.

He touched it gently and brushed the dust off on the part under its jaw, revealing the little insignia of the Spinther family under it.

"Who are you? What are you? Who are you really, Spinter family." murmured the man as he dusted the statue with a brush.

"Spinther family, why is your insignia on all the important artifacts of the whole world? Perhaps, are you aliens that came to guide us?" asked the man as he stepped back and took a final look on the items inside before leaving the room and walking back upstairs.

"No matter who you really are, I'll find all of you, and I'll shed light to your true nature..."
