Five leading businessmen of various industries in the world entered the city dirty slums in grand style, totally out of place with the run-down urban terrain.
They only wanted to visit someone who was a young man of twenty years. This was not just an ordinary youth, as he was William Johnson, their former master fifty years ago.
They had learned their early grains of wisdom through him, and planted the seeds of the empires they now had the rule over.
Upon meeting the tycoons were surprised not by his plain clothes, but his never-old fashion look.
Time appeared to decline to make its familiar advances to William,he was in the joys of youth.
The secret that was unknown to the stunned visitors was that William Johnson had been living a billion years and a half.
His life was a great tapestry of time, the thread of which ran through the histories and religions of the world. He had created numerous religions, taught numerous people such as Alexander the Great, and created an indelible mark on the world.
Fifty years ago however, when he spread his servants, he decided to go into a deep sleep.
But this time William Johnson was up...
There has been a recent discovery that has put the world on fire. The local media is buzzing, the scholars are being attracted like moths to a flame in all corners of the world. In one of the brooks of Mount San Juan Teotihuacan a prehistoric tomb was discovered, in which more than three hundred precious objects were found.
Of these, there were found relics which are thought to belong to the Classical Period, or even earlier. To our astounded surprise some of these things are foreign, perhaps they complete the gaps in the history of our country...
The unearthing of ancient artifacts of the world in Mexico has invited the concerns of myriad academicians and professionals of the world.
In the middle of the ascent of the slopes of the mountain of San Juan Teotihuacan, there was a man, named, meanwhile, William Johnson, clad in a streaming robe, walking on the cobblestone walking-tracks of the mountain brook. His companions were travelling people, a swarming mass of witnesses of the marvellous discovery.
Fifty years ago this was a deserted spot upon a barren mountain, rarely frequented by man. The change that it has passed through is in its own way amazing, he thought.
William frowned at the passers by, which gave him a soft smile. His eyes were however of depth immeasurable like the infinite sea. His manly features and boyish looks told one that he was in his twenties, though how one could think that this apparently young man had spent many years of life!
Memories like a tidal wave came in.
Once Gods fought in the heavens, and fell into the disfavour of William, who, with a stroke of his palm, destroyed a thousand years of time at once.
Later, William was able to train primitive humans to utilize fire, train Asclepius to understand medicinal herbs and Noah to build the Ark in order to enable humans to thrive and prosper.
These were quite recent times to William.
Even later, William did not want to change the whole world due to his activities anymore.
But everything did not happen as expected!
He was worshipped all around with temple erected by people.
The ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Cleopatra VII encountered the tragedy of the dwindling of her country just because she had said a single word of blasphemy against him.
William did not want anyone to know of his existence and so history was rewritten creating myths of Uranus and Gaia, Adam and Eve.
Later Alexander the great was lucky to be his disciple. He had learned under William during three months and managed to conquer huge lands including parts of Greek, Egyptian and Persian lands.
One time Alexander the great inquired of William about the means to obtain immortality.
Even William could not tell why he could live forever, he could do nothing but smile.
Alexander the Great even constructed a palace underground to be used to install a statue in honor of William.
...
William had over the years mentored some individuals with talent. History was left behind by all who took his guidance. But all those disciples and students are long dead, and only William is alive.
The most recent time he had a deep sleep was sometime in September 1945.
During the World War II then, William was living in the deep mountain when he came out to find Pearl Harbor being attacked by the Japanese. He laid hands on Japan in his rage.
This was what came to be referred to as the well known Hiroshima atomic bombing.
It no longer mattered to William how the occurrence would be interpreted by the future generations.
This time, when he woke up, he warned himself against making different the current pattern of the world because of personal feelings.
It was a mere flash in the eyes of William, and half a lifetime of happiness and sorrow to an average man.
William wonders whether people of those days still live, and his eyes were serene but full of vicissitudes. Wearing a long black robe, he was mixing with the tourists and he got lots of looks.
Is there acting company on Mount San Juan Teotihuacan? Is that fellow here to take a cinematographic picture?
I do not know, but he is an awfully handsome man. I wonder what movie he's in."
His aura is so unique, I cannot know how to explain it.
...
People who were passing by could not help but mumble on passing by William.
William lived on the top of the mountain of San Juan Teotihuacan. Then, before falling asleep, he commanded his companions to break up. There could be still only a single person, his housekeeper, and very likely still on guard to that house.
As he climbed the mountain, William heard numerous tourists talking about a hermit that lived on the mountain who had an aptitude to forecast.
William could not help shaking his head. Whoever was behind him had learnt something. His housekeeper, Timothy Hill, had picked up some of his tricks such as divination and stargazing and was now worshipped as a sage.
To William divination was no extraordinary thing. When it is practiced with malpractice, it will cause immeasurable damage. Observing the fame of Timothy Hill, it was obvious that he had to be providing guidance on a regular basis which was risky.
William hastened his steps. He did not like to see the future, and immortality was already boring, and he did not need to know what was going to happen.
but he was suddenly premonstrastical that Timothy was in harm to-day.
Timothy was a name to whom all were familiar. Those who were lucky to encounter him and listen to his advice always made it to the top.
Noteworthy, he was a friend to a number of world tycoons. During holidays a procession of luxury cars would be drawn up at the foot of Mount San Juan Teotihuacan all the cars coming here to offer their salutations.
He is so rich that even the richest man on earth, Warren Buffett, would not risk to disrespect him.
When William reached the summit of the mountain, he was looking down and saw his old house. It was still as it was, fifty years old, and evidently in great condition.
There were practically no tourists as the security guards were every couple of steps at the entrance to the house to prevent any attempts to enter. The house had been well guarded.
The stone table in the distance could only wait and receive many who wanted to see Timothy.
And the security guard immediately advanced as William was approaching the old house.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
The guards here were charged with the duty of keeping out of the path of the irrelevant people, after all, not everyone was eligible to have an interview with Timothy.
William was only about to answer when a couple of young men who were rich and sat near him burst into laughter.
My, what a showy-looking guy this is dressed. He does not really believe that he will get to see Mr. Hill in such a way, does he?
"Idiot! They would have to invite a week before even when it was the patriarch of the Smith family. I do not know where this guy crawled out of.
William glanced back, and looked at the two young men dispassionately.
As soon as they saw William with their eyes, the two were shivers down their spines and automatically kept their mouths shut.
Their hearts were full of fear somehow. A single look of William sent these two valiant trust-fund babies quailing and they were left without the will to utter a word.
The guard, who smelled something was wrong, was still watching William closely, and screaming, I am talking to you! This is not the kind of place where people like you belong. Get away, or I will be forced to use force!
William listened to him with no attention because at this time, Timothy was fully aware of his coming back.
Creak!
The door to the old house swung slowly open, and a silver-haired old gentleman, whose robes were of white linen, hobbled out.
The people who were waiting to get a glimpse of their own fortune immediately rose.
"Mr. Hill is out!"
Is it possible that the master is going to visit me?
"Don't talk. It would be a terrible mistake to disturb the master.
Those who were waiting on the top of the hill were staring at Timothy in nervous anticipation. The guard who was barring William also stood up and respected him without daring to say a word.
William alone stood motionless with his eyes to Timothy.
Timothy was wrinkled and the lines of time had cut deep in his countenance. When Timothy saw William he could not stop shedding tears at his old age, as he fell over William.
William also strode forward. Here the security guard before him had intended to stop him, but in another flash, William was standing before Timothy.
The thoughts of those that surrounded them became blank. Time was distorted as though it were. How William had come there they had no idea.
