In the year 1606, Epimanes decided to visit the world. He went on a long journey and reached Alexandria, in Africa : a beautiful port of white houses on the sea. During his travel he were attacked by a group of bandits that took most of his possessions. Then he came back and was quite happy to find his house and family. A few days later, Epimanes broke an arm.
In the year 1618, Epimanes needed more love in his life and began to flirt around. Epimanes had a passionate affair with Florencia, a charming woman, 63 years old, a mosaic artist. A bastard child came out of this short lived love. It was a monstrous looking boy named Marcus. Epimanes had no choice but to adopt Marcus who became part of the family from now on. A little while after, Epimanes got the scarlet fever but survived.
