The guy in the wheelchair looked at me very nervously. He seemed to have taken care of me for a long time.
I looked up at him and asked:" Um... excuse me sir, who are you?"
The man smiled and replied:" I am who I am, young one, but you can call me Chiron."
I knitted my eye brows:" Chiron, that's a cool name. Sounds Greek, not Latin."
Chiron looked confused:" Latin? Do you speak Latin?"
I answered:"I don't think so." Then I realized I just spoke Latin.
Chiron pursed his lips and said, mostly to himself:" A Latin speaking child...... Romans!" He spoke the word "Romans" in Latin.
I looked at him, bewildered:" Romans? Aren't they in Italy? Founded by a child of Mars, who was a Trojan that escaped the Trojan war, and eventually conquered the whole Mediterranean, including Greece?"
Chiron smiled:" You seem to know a lot, don't you?"
I grinned:" Basic history."
Chiron said:" Then tell me the history of the Greeks."
I thought about what I learned before, but I can't remember anything about Greece, so I said:" I don't know,sir."
Chiron said:" And when you were talking about the history of Rome, you said the founder was a child of Mars, why didn't you say Ares?"
I pondered over it for a while, then I replied:" Maybe because I was talking about Rome, not Greece."
Chiron said, half worried:" No, that is because your brain is hardwired for Latin and Roman customs."
I asked:" What do you mean? I don't understand."
Chiron said in Latin:"You know how to speak Latin, which is the language of Rome. You say the names of the Gods and Goddesses in Roman. You are a child of Rome. A demigod sought by the Roman Gods!"
