"The world is full of mystery. I've heard that all my life and it seems to be true. But if I go through something mysterious myself, will I be believed? Maybe I'll think I'm crazy, or everything that happens to me in my everyday life is just something I'm dreaming and soon I'll wake up. Questions without answers..."
Everything changes after he returns from a pilgrimage to a miraculous statue of the Holy Virgin Mary, when he becomes the victim of a plane accident in which, with no hope left, he prays alongside the other passengers, gives his final blessing, and then... And then what?
He wakes up on a bench. Where exactly? Right in the heart of the most important square in the world, in Rome, caput mundi, as the Latins used to say. What is he doing there? He remembered the airplane accident, but he also had other memories. How did he get here, what year is it? He was at the Vatican, but still... Is it the year 1492?!

When You Transmigrate to Other Times

The next day, I woke up early, even though I hadn't planned on it. I felt rather sleepy, so I decided that the morning breeze would clear my thoughts and mind. It was one of my duties to stand by Cesare through good and bad times, I knew that… Especially after I saw the ring on my finger, as large as the Pope's. I guess I need to finally overcome my fears because I feel there are people around me who are even more vulnerable...

While I was reflecting on the sunrise rising in the blood-red sky, I felt a strong hand touch my shoulder. Unconsciously, I flinched at that touch and looked back. It was Cesare.

"Antonio, are you okay? Sorry to scare you, but I wanted to see the sunrise with you..."

"How romantic... Anyway, I think we should finalize some details. You know... I'm afraid of the people's reaction in Rome now that everyone knows you are Cardinal Borgia, no longer hiding under the guise of a simple priest."
