Chapter 1
I felt like I was sleeping for an eternity, what's going on?

I woke up in an area with lots of poor people, I got up from my feet, I sneezed.

"Where I'm I?" I said.

I walked outside and saw a huge, bustling city filled with tourists, happy faces, and buses.

"I'm I dead?" I thought to himself.

He went outside the slum area and walked around, he then saw a Vietnamese girl dressed in a short skirt and a pink top, he approached her.

"Can you kindly tell where I am and what year is this?" I asked in a soft voice.

"Dublin, 2016." She said.

I collapsed to the floor, then a few minutes later, I woke up in her apartment.

"I was originally from Vietnam, which is a country in South East Asia." She said.

She then got a stool and stood on it, likely to reach something.

"Where the h*** is it?" She whispered.

I watched her, I was very unfamiliar with this woman, she seemed only twenty, the same age as me.

She got out a wheat and fruit bar, she then handed it to him.

"Eat this, it's a fruit bar." She said.

I ate it slowly despite me barely eating a single thing all day, it's sweet.

"Can we go out side, Miss?" I asked.

"Sure, let us both get ready." She said

The woman went into her room then came out wearing jeans, a biker jacket and black shoes.

Then I got dressed in modern attire.

"Can't go out looking like a prostitute? Can I? Those dissident republican f***tards are so sensitive around a sexy Asian woman looking better than most of the women that participate in those dissident marches!" She said.

They got out the apartment.

"Wow, the 1916 Rising is celebrated a lot here." I said.

"It's their 100th anniversary and it's important, oh, by the way, my name is Chau." She said.

"My name is James, James O'Connel." I said

Me and she went to O'Connel Street, people were staring at men dressed in black berets, scarves, sunglasses, green jumpers and green trousers, black marching shoes, and an older woman was dressed in a Cumann na mBam uniform, a few were holding flags.

"Those are dissident republicans I have been talking about, they are the worst people and the lowest form of life on Earth." She said to me.

A few people came towards them.

"Take off your masks, please, this was agreed with your seniors." The older man said.

"This is a clear state of Free State harassment against the republicans." One of the men at front said.

I wanted to facepalm.

"Don't listen to their propaganda, this is the Republic of Ireland, the people at the northern-eastern counties, which make up NI, do not want reunification." She said.

"Those aren't republicans, their uniforms look hideous and disgusting, they make the tattered clothing look acceptable." I said in my calmnest tone.

I went up to them.

"James, DON'T! YOU'LL GET HURT!" Chau said.

"Why do you consider yourselves republicans?" I asked.

"Because we are the true heirs to 1916 and the true government." He replied.

Even though I woke up even though I was shot, I had a lot of knowledge about the events that took place after 1916, the War of Independence and the Civil War, the people that made living in Northern Ireland and some parts outside a living h***, the Good Friday Agreement and now.

"Did you know Sinn Féin, both Provisional and Republican was never in the Easter Rising?" I said with a smile.

"Okay, give me the seven men executed and their ages." He said.

"Patrick Pearse, 36, James Connolly, 47, Joseph Plunkett, 28, Thomas MacDonagh, 38, Éamon Ceannt, 34, and Tom Clarke, 58." I replied back with full knowledge.

"Give me the names of the founders of the political parties in the Easter Rising." He said.

"Michael Collins, founder of the Fine Gael movement, Éamon de Valera, founder of the Fianna Fáil movement." I replied.

"Are there any British soldiers shooting down innocent civilians in the Six Occupied Counties?" He asked.

"No, There are not many left, and it's mostly dissident republicans that kill innocent civilians now up there now, what has happened to the IRA over the years? They were now like the army back in the 20's-60's, now they're just a bunch of morons, liars, and idiots." I said.

"That's it, you son of a b****!" He said.

He ran toward me, I then I used the training I got from the military leaders on him.

"Wow." The man that asked them to remove their masks said.

"Please, this kind of stuff doesn't belong in modern day Dublin, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace wasn't an order to be an a**, We don't want the North, it has suffered enough over the years." I said
