[ WP ] In an alternate universe , time flows backwards . You , as an ancient greek , are reading a history article about WW II .

What a strange and curious tree grows from the withered bark, spreading life through its leaves until only its vestigal acorn remains? 
 
 Such is our life, and as such is our fate. Our past is filled with horrific terrors and fantastic wonders, all of which are lost overtime as Saturn seems content to let things run backwards. 
 
 I suppose in time we will call him by his original name. 
 
 Long ago, massive empires sprawled across the barbarian lands of the north. Of the largest, the Sea Kings of the Northern Isles who held lands spanning around the world. The strongest, an empire if Germania that marched with unbroken purpose to dominate a continent, clashing with the Red Kings that marshalled its people with song and steel at their back. 
 
 In years past they were armed with ferrocious weapons; spears that dissolved into enormous fires that could consume whole cities. Enormous mechanica that traversed entire oceans, able to wipe out entire armies in an instant, and even traverse the skies themselves. 
 
 And with those tools, the barbarian Germanic empire spread like a kanker, consuming people in labrynths of death, as he compelled his enormous legions to march again and again to crush the Mad Red Despots. What horror would it be to live in such times! 
 
 Now we hold only fragmented relics; relis of such power that even the Emperors of Rome will not suffer their legions to use, for the untold destruction they brought to the Ancient peoples. Justinian the Christian Emperor once wrote, `` Let our kataphractoi use not those cursed tools of our, for the Son must learn his Father's lessons''. Although his savior has long since died, I find that I must agree. 
 
 Perhaps there is indeed a reason why Saturn turns his back to us.
