One night, I awoke by the sound of distant thunder. As I opened my eyes, I saw that I was lying on a comfortable bed. I discovered that I was in a beautiful tent. There was a wooden table inside. When I went towards the table, I saw a map. The map was about the information of Troy’s geographic location. I started to think, “Where am I? Am I in…” I saw some shadow outside and I believed that someone could answer my question.
When I went outside, I saw a large group of soldiers who belonged to Troy. In front of them was a team leader who was beating a drum. At that moment, I realized that the sound was made by the leader with the drum. I walked slowly and slowly towards him. It was because I was afraid that he would think that I was his enemies. When I walked closer to him, he suddenly turned to me.
He cried excitedly, “Oh! My master! You have already woken up now. You have been in coma since last week’s war because of your injury. We are all worried about you! ” When he said that I was his master, I wondered who I was there. Then, I asked him a question, “Where am I now?” He was surprised and said, “Oh no! My master! Don’t you remember that? We are in our city, Troy now! ” His words made me feel excited, “Oh! Why do I suddenly come back to the past? ” I whispered.
Fortunately, he didn’t hear my words. Then, I asked him another question. “What are you doing now?” He answered me immediately, “Preparing for the war with Greek soldiers.” As I came from the future, I knew that they were facing Trojan War. Suddenly, a soldier came to me and said, “My King, there is a wooden horse from the Greek outside. It seems that they would like to make peace.”
When I heard his words,
“No! This is not a gift. This is a trap! There are many Greeks soldiers inside the wooden horse!” I yelled loudly.
“But this is a gift for us, why don’t we take it? They are willing to make peace with us.”
“No! There are many Greek soldiers inside,” I repeated. “If we take the wooden horse to our city, the Greek soldiers will come out from it. See?”
The soldier leader was not convinced. But he sighed sadly, “Okay… What can we do then to the wooden horse? ” I said, “That’s easy. Let’s burn it! ”
I ordered a team of archers to take out their bows and arrows, then, to light the fire onto the arrows and they used the arrows with fire to shoot the wooden horse. When the wooden horse was on fire, there was some noise coming from the wooden horse, “Ah! No! I don’t want to die inside this useless wooden horse.” There came out a lot of noise.
When the leader saw that, he was surprised, “How do you know that? My King?” I answered, “It’s because I come from the future.” The leader thought that I had magic power. Finally, I gave them an order, “Everyone takes a rest now!” Then, I went back to my tent and had a sleep.
The next day, I woke up early and when I looked around, I saw that I came back to the present. I was very surprised about that but I went back to school as usual. My first lesson that day was History. The teacher asked us to take out the book. When I saw some words, “Trojan” I stopped there. It was because I wanted to see if what I experienced was true. When I read a sentence, I screamed loudly, “Oh! I changed the history!” At first, it should be, “Greek army successfully entered Troy and defeated the Trojans.” But then, I saw that, “King Jason ordered his army to burn the wooden horse and save his citizens. At that time, I knew that I was a hero.
