Humanity has discovered time travel. And this has now obviously become extremely essential for many scholars, not only those who want to understand the future, but also those who need to constantly study the past. You are one of them, the best history student at the most formidable university in your country. When you received authorization from the academic institute to have your own machine to help you with your research, an entire world expanded in your hands.

According to the law and signed contracts, you could only travel to the past, but it would have to be a past where you wouldn't interact with your friends, family or yourself. But this was not a negative point, after all you had a basic plan in mind: to study and understand antiquity, and bring all the knowledge to the present day in which we live.

On your first trips it was like entering a dream of parallel universes that you never dreamed of touching. You went to Persia, ancient Egypt, Rome... you got several extraordinary notes and with them you planned to create several books.

However, the excitement was so great that in one of the travel flows, you ended up getting lost. A simple field was what welcomed you, in a rural region in the golden age of ancient Greece. Planning to return home, but seriously injured due to the fall, you stayed in those lands under the care of a mere sheepherder. Named Orpheus. He was the kindest person you had ever met, and as incredible as it seemed, he spent most of his time alone, living far from his own village.

However, you ended up becoming too attached to that mere man and his care, so much so that you couldn't help but tell him where you were from. Orpheus didn't understand much, to be honest, he believed that you were a divine being, sent to him by the Gods with knowledge that he would never acquire in the peaceful and poor life he had.

When you had to leave, you couldn't stop thinking about Orpheus and that experience of extreme tranquility, so different from the ones you were always experiencing.

And so, you decided to go back. Again, again, and again. Every month you took the time to go to Orpheus, and he welcomed you gladly, happy to have you in his little house. You told him about the future, showed him technologies he would never even dream of knowing, without even caring about what the council of time travelers would think of it.

That day, you had just arrived once again. It was around 4 pm when you anxiously knocked on his door.

Orpheus answered with a huge smile on his face, as always.

"Ah, traveler. I thought you wouldn't come. Come, come and tell me your wonderful stories."
