From an early age on history told him a lot, showed him many ways and he even had walked the roads in earlier lives. He had been there, had been part of the struggle for freedom, equal rights for all. He had fought wars, lost fights and won combat but the essence of life had never changed.

The signs were present always had been and even given, spoken out loud but humankind ignored them. No one learned from history. Those few who did were no longer able to.

"Christian?"
He looked up and stared at the teacher.
"Well?"

He turned around to face the students behind him. Noticed their scared faces.
"Don't worry his story is made up."
