The Man who Never Died and Knew all Things

<p><strong>The Roman Confines</strong><br><strong>under Antoninus Pius (140 A.D.)</strong></p><p>You know me. I am Democritus the alchemist who has studied the transformation of substances; I am Democritus the atomist who wandered through graveyards searching for souls because they too must be made of atoms.<br><br>I have learnt how to keep the herald of death at bay and I have witnessed the passing of ages seen the fall of Greece of the Persian Realm and of the realm of Alexander and the rising of the Roman consuls dictators and emperors up to this day when Antoninus rules over Rome.<br><br>But any kind of wisdom has its dark side. A foreign goddess has come from the East and bound me in chains so that my knowledge would serve her alone to conquer power over Rome Mount Olympus and the Cosmos.<br><br>Will my flight from the claws of the Dragon Goddess end in death or in life? Democritus should be remembered as the discoverer of the fundamental law of the Cosmos and not be loathed as the Dragon King of Rome.<br><br>The atom and the void: that is the only kind of immortality worth living for.</p>
