I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT
3rd POV
This story takes place after Eric Yorkie and Michael Newton graduate High School. They end up going to the same college, which will not be named so that there will be no bias one way or another and it should be noted they even live in the same two-person dorm. Regardless, Eric is a mathematics major and Michael is an Engineering Major. Even though Eric and Michael are not history majors they have to take a history class, just like history majors have to take a math class. Also, like most mathematics and Engineering majors, they are not excited about their one history class they have to take. It`s the first day of class. The two sit down and start laughing about how much of a joke the class is, but quiet down as the professor shuffles into the classroom. The two snicker as the doughy professor scome-over is blatantly obvious as he walks to the front of the lecture hall. The professor starts his lecture:
"Today class we will be discussing the Roman Empire. Now when you discuss the Roman Empire you must start with the Roman legion, the backbone of the Roman Army. A roman legion could have as many as 6,000 men, they where foot soldiers of the Roman Army and nearly unstoppable. Today we will focus on one of Rome's earlier defeats in its history; the loss of 6 legions, nearly 36,000 men to a relatively barbaric group of people that would later be called the Romanians. Interesting fact: Romania is the location of the oldest known modern human remains. They are thought to be some 42,000 years old. The bones, oddly enough, where charred. This is the basis of a research project about the possibility that ancient humans believed in an after life, or in ancestral worship, as the remains where excavated around a village from 100 A.D. The current theory is that these remains carried some of importance, but the question still remains, why where the remains partially burned, and not completely burned. Anyways, the Romans attacked the area that is now Romania, and lost. Upon the defeat of the Romans they had noted that the king of the barbarians was as strong as ten men. In fact they noted that many of the barbarians, where unusually strong and fast, and as the heat of the battle would intensify, many of the soldiers would turn into a fit of rage and where almost immune to all attacks. Modern Scientists today speculate that these soldiers where berserkers. Berserkers are a type of soldier that works his adrenaline up into such a rage in the middle of battle that they achieve almost superhuman strength and speed. Now these berserkers had some strange rituals they would perform before and during battle. They where known to have invented glitter, yet the formula has never been discovered, but all of the ancient sources confirm that these soldiers did sparkle in battle, but oddly enough not even sweat could wear it off. Also, these soldiers where known to be cannibalistic and where known to devour human flesh before battle, and known to bite their enemies and spill their blood everywhere, during battle, which seemed to work the soldiers into an even more intense frenzy."
The professor continued his lecture for another hour. Eric dozed off a couple of times, but Michael was oddly fascinated in it. He had never liked history before, but something about this lecture struck his curiosity.
AN Please read and review, you will not be disappointed :) Also thank you TeamEdward225 for loaning me your history of Twilight book so that I could make this possible. I would also like to thank my history teacher for giving the lecture that INSPIRED this. There are very many facts in here that are real and you inspired me to find them.
