Chapter 08: Interesting Letters (Part 1)

Before the weekend, I got replies to my letters from all four of my Grannies, the very first letter came not even two hours after I sent her mine.

The first letter was from Ganny Ravenclaw and it was addressed to [Orpheus Archeron Peverell the hidden genius], most people except my family were not aware that I was a [Metamporphmagus] but my four Grannies always assumed that I was special and honestly I don't know why they are thinking this of me.

[Dear little Archeron,

I was quite surprised to receive a letter from you and even more than surprised, I was intrigued by the content of your letter.

I always knew you were a special one even amongst your family of geniuses, always hiding your genius, which is a very interesting case even amongst your family and it seems you have finally decided to show off your genius at least to your favorite granny.

I would like to ask and understand your motivation on what exactly you're intending to do with this kind of specific knowledge but that is a topic for a personal discussion.

As for the basics of [Time Travel] into the past and their possible influence on the [Timeline].

All in all, we've got three assumptions as of now on the topic of Time Travel.

The first assumption is that the [Timeline] is fixed and any actions we do while time traveling have no influence on the timeline, as our actions will just become part of the timeline leading to the same conclusion and always creating the same situation.

This assumption was made by the Wizard Novikov and named after him.

(A/N: The Time Machine, no matter how he tries to save his wife she is dying in some way.)

The second assumption is that the [Timeline] is dynamic and will as such always adapt.

Altering any event in the past will have definite impacts on the future and as such, there is a definite danger of creating a time Paradox if you are not cautious while being in the past but this concept also leaves a lot of room to maneuver in.

(A/N: Butterfly Effect, any little thing he changes has an immediate and big influence on the future.)

The third and final assumption is that there is a multiverse of [Timelines] and by time-traveling, we're just creating an alternate [Timeline].

This is by far the most viable assumption, your actions will just create an alternative timeline in which you will end up and the traveler has to deal with the consequences whatever they may be.

For example, if you go back in order to save the world, you'll be a hero but no one in the new [Timeline] will be aware of you and your heroic deed of being the hero that saved the world.

(A/N: The Avengers, killed Thanos by changing history but in fact, they're just jumping into another Universe where Thanos failed in achieving his goal.)

My dear little Archeron, if you have any more questions then do not hesitate to write me a letter and pose your question the topic of [Time Travel] is quite an interesting and intriguing field of study.

I am looking forward to meeting you this weekend and introduce my granddaughter to you.

Yours truly

Your favorite Granny M. Ravenclaw]

It is exactly as I have assumed my actions will have a definite influence on the future and as such, I have to find a way to minimize my influence on the [Timeline].

I have to find people that have little to no impact on the future, people that are forgotten by history, outcasts, and people who were smart enough to never get caught, or those that are worth saving.

I won't change much about history but I'll influence it and change it a bit here and there correcting mistakes and slowly gaining power and building my own force.

I don't believe that I am the first Wizard to have changed the past in his favor.

Under its terms, Rome agreed to pay the Persians 30,000 pieces of gold annually. The borders between the empire were reaffirmed, Christian worship was to be protected in the Persian Empire, and regulation of trade and diplomatic relations was laid out.

Terms of the agreement included guaranteed security for people and property, as well as freedom of religion. All this was to be obtained in return for the payment of tribute.

673 - 678 Ad Arab Forces Fail To Capture Constantinople- From 673-678 A.D., Arab forces besieged Constantinople. The siege failed due to both the strength of the city walls and a new invention- "the Greek Fire" which caused havoc among the Arab fleet. In 678 A.D., a 30-year peace treaty was negotiated.

680 - 1018 AD First Bulgarian Empire- The First Bulgarian Empire was created when the Bulgars defeated the Byzantines. They then went on to occupy the area between the Danube and the Balkan Mountains. The Bulgarian Empire was in constant conflict with the Byzantine Empire.
