"I AM GOD " (Anonymous- thoguh suspected to be Philip I)
“look up at the skies, and tell me my boy, what do you see?”
I took a quick glance up at the dark skies, they were filled with a hundred stars all flickering as if trying to wink at me.
“I see, Sir, millions of stars, all glaring down at ME”
“and YOU? YOU alone? What about me, or the rest of the people who live here in Tago?”
“Yes Sir, the stars don’t shine for anyone else but me, I am the divine one, and the stars all move around me, so do people and the rest of the world”
I stood there for a few moments, trying to gather what the boy just said. The world turns around him? He is the center and the rest just circulates him, like the sun around Earth. I was starting to get the feeling that this small boy was born to serve as king, and a great one indeed.
“My boy… and who created those stars?” I asked, trying to get the last answer I needed before making sure I was right in my feelings.
“I did”
“Did you? And how did you do it?” he had quite an imagination.
“Because I’ve created everything that lives in my world. You are a creation of mine, if I would not give you the power to be my teacher, you wouldn’t have been my teacher. If I haven’t had given the stars the definition of being starts they wouldn’t have been starts.”
I was startled for a moment, there, in front of me stood a ten year old, speaking in a philosophical manner, every word he said was though he was a 100 years old, with many years of experience behind him.
“so are you saying that…”
But before I could finish my sentence the boy interrupted me.
“Yes” he said “, I have created God as well. He is here to serve me, and he will…”

“All hail the new king of Portugal” came the shout.
“All hail the one and only” the same voice echoed.
“All hail his majesty to ever last the title of king of Portugal”
“All hail he who rules under the might of god!”
ALL HAIL, repeated the crowed. And so the
From the first moment Phillip I took the roll as king of Portugal everything changed. No more fanatic crusades for the name of Christianity, from now on the glory of the king himself was the one to lead him through his actions.
For many years I followed the king, I, the old testimony of the old crown. I was the one who was there for endless years, like a silent stone statue. I was eternal, I was always there and I shall always remain there. As a historian I had the unforgivable task of writing for future generations the truthful history of what happened throughout my lifetime. Though how could I possibly write honestly with a king as Philip leading our people? His geniuses dazzled me, his decisions were so well calculated, how can a king like this be recorded by history truthfully? If I write he never made mistakes then I shall make fun of my roll as an historian, everyone makes mistakes, but… Philip, he was perfect…And he could never do wrong!
First he annexed Portugal, and added its glorious centers of trade into our already expanding kingdom. Then, he decided to colonies the world! It was most important for him to gain control of new areas, new places, and more important, establish healthy relations with our Spanish ally, as well constructing healthy relations with both France and England. He was often quoted saying “A world without enemies is not possible, therefore we must turn our friends to be each other’s enemies, and then we shall be immune to them both”. During his many years of regimen, he made only one mistake. That was no doubt going to a Chinese convert and joining the Buddhist clerics in their endless search for truth. He soon became one of the many clerics. He was renowned, respected, and above all liked! He became the leader of the convert, and soon the province itself detached from the China, and was added to Portugal. The provinces’ name is not quite easy to pronounce therefore I will just say, that if you happen to travel the shores of china, do not be surprised to see a Portuguese city stationed between the Yellow River and the Sea of Java.
But meanwhile, much had happened in Portugal. When he came back he came to a devastated country that had lost much. He could not believe it, the Mughal empire dared declare war and suffocate the free people of Ganges. That was unheard of! But what can Portugal do? She still had troubles from inside. And then Philip decided. Let us kill them all! He lost it! My dearest son, my boy! He became mad! He started killing everyone! Everything that moved! Instead of thinking that he created of GOD, he started believing he had become god! And so, series after series of murdering and violence did bring some stability to the regimen, as his word was the word of god, and thereby was the only word. He killed the nobles who dared oppress him, and then started a new area, that only time could tell what it would develop, and of course I shall record it…
