    (Disclaimer: This does not depict the truth that the Bible and gospels tell, do not take this as something true, but as a work of fiction. For the rest, read the short story on Reddit)

    TIME: 12 March of 32 B.C.

    LOCATION: Galilee

    TASK: Take every information you can and Report it to the high Librarian.

    The Gateway of the Endless Library brought you back to the time of Jesus Christ ministry, your mission is clear: Listen to everything that the Son is saying and report everything to your boss. However there's a little problem, another Time Traveller from an earlier time than yours came here too to discover the truth about the Messiah, yet he has quite a skeptical vision of the situation, while you... (Well it's up to you to decide). The thing that truly irritated you was that your fellow traveler got spotted like an idiot rather than staying hidden, the problem is that due to that inconvenience you got spotted too by the Lord.

    Shockingly enough Jesus asked you both to follow Him for some months, alongside His disciples. They all were surprised by everything that was happening, however Jesus said to His followers that you and the other traveler were people in search of truth. The other traveler said his name being "Joshua of Cali, from Armorica" (He was from California), actually everybody was calling him like that since nobody knew what America was, however you were more subtle with the information you let out from your mouth, understanding the weight of your knowledge and Jesus understood that too, so He wouldn't tell anything to the other disciples about you and Joshua unless it's something that could be said during those times.

    Joshua always look at you with wariness and suspicion, since the beginning of this journey with the Messiah and His Twelves he couldn't quite explain to himself the reason of why another time traveler should be there. Maybe you were from another country that discovered time travel, however from what he could understand from you it's that you're much far away in the timeline than him.


    Present time

    You were with the Twelves at Capernaum preparing the dinner for everybody as Jesus and Joshua remained behind to talk alone. You were helping Judas and Matthew to find some food to buy, in the meantime Simon Peter was at his house to meet her wife and mother-in-law, Andrew, Philip and Bartholomew were cleaning clothes alongside the women and the other apostles were preparing the place where you would all dine together.

    After sometime, before it got dark, you returned alongside Judas and Matthew to the place for the dinner with the food ready to dine and there you found also Jesus and Joshua that were helping with the last things. Then the fellow traveler looked at you as you arrived with Judas and Matthew, before walking to you to ask...

    "Listen could we talk in private for a moment, I really need to know something."

    He spoke in fluent English and when he first met the Messiah, He also spoke a perfect English nevertheless the age where you were in. He wasn't afraid to speak the native language of his time, however you thought he should be more careful and use the Aramaic to talk, even with you. (You could understand all languages after all, due to some implants in your system)
