I'm sorry this prompt was too delicious to pass up. I hope you don't mind a second fill.
Tony had been with Mama Egypt. Pitched in the designs for her beloved pharaohs' tombs. H e had been with Mama Greece. Challenging her philosophers and her mathematicians. He even hanged out with Rome once. Laid the foundations for his infamous roads and coliseum.
Before that, Tony had been in Mesopotamia. Teaching the citizens of irrigation and cartwheels (as in the wheels of carts, not fucking gymnastics you limey). He had been in India. Arguing with the many intellectuals. He even made a brief visit to little China. Bright-eyed with cheeks of rosy youth, the tiny nation quickly learned all the knowledge Tony would offer.
And then, Tony retreated from the world stage. His mother was calling him for dinner after all. Mmm. Yerg worms. So he left.
He came back about a few centuries later. (Stupid light-year differences, stupid homework, stupid chores! And the atomicpzΔmaton's error was so not his fault! How was he supposed to know that
( ... )
It sounded like a good idea at the time...[2/?]

I will be taking liverties with the prompt as well as history. It gets worse from here on out people.
In the late fourteenth century, Europe was leaving the Dark Ages and embracing the Renaissance. A time of art and self-expression. Of science and technology. Of empires and exploration.
It was a time of great progress and change. Humanity was making leaps and bounds in its understanding of the world.
Or so they thought.
There were rumours circulating. Some particularly dark. Some just flat-out crazy.
Whispers of the legendary Vikings. The Scandinavian countries. Once a terror of the seas, now recluse and seemingly inactive. SeeminglyIt had been centuries since the last of the infamous Viking raids, the Europeans finally managing to set up a proper defense. And the Norsemen have settled down somewhat after the spread of Christianity. But that did not explain their almost non-existent presence

At one point, the topic of conversation drifted to the Norsemen. Spain, the random dear that he was, brought up cute Ita’s darling idea. The two subjects collided. And Spain had an epiphany.
“But think about it France! They’re not trading in the south. They’re not trading in the east. And they live in the north. Where else would they trade but west

The long, sea voyage was hellish. The company was nightmarish. Although it didn't start out so horrible. It began as wonderful, little adventure with everyone in high spirits.
But then, some time around the point of no return, England showed up.
See, England didn't have the strength to go places on his own. So! He decided to sneak aboard tag along with Spain. Because it was a very big ship. They had room for one more nation. Right? Right

reCaptcha says 'whether odyssey'. Why yes, I do think that's the general plan.
