[9] CHAPTER IX

Aedan drops from his perch, the feather cape on his shoulders flapping around his head. His warriors rise as his long feet strike dirt. An army of countless blue hues moves out of the trees, and the horse-drawn chariots flanking them roll softly over the grass.

Fierce charges and hearty battle cries do not affect these invaders.

[8] CHAPTER VIII

“The senators hate your Battle King for his ambitions. His power comes from common men and warriors, and he needs them to love him more than they love the senators. To impress them, your Battle King destroys those, not Roman.”

The Roman regards him thoughtfully.
“You’re rather astute for a boy that’s never left this island,”

[7.2] CHAPTER VII-II

Scipio monitors the trees and avoids his father’s nakedness, a harbinger of things to come. Once strapping like his son, old Vitus is thick in places unfortunate, spurring his return to cavalry life. (read more...)

[7.1] CHAPTER VII-I

At one barrel, Scipio grabs the wooden bowl floating inside.

“I think they’re watching us,” he says, bringing it to his lips. “Counting every tree we cut with plans to add our heads for each.” He tips another bowl over his shorn head and appreciates the coolness sluicing behind his ears. (read more...)

[6] CHAPTER VI

hearing no hoofs follow, he turns to find the mare lying beside the saddle.

“Did he mean that much to you?” he calls.

The mare’s skinny legs kick as she flips.

“Was he beautiful, your master?” he asks as she nuzzles one of the saddle’s four-prong grips. “Is he that fierce fucker that came out of the reeds?” (read more...)

[5] CHAPTER V

Two of their horses gallop past, their reigns held by a skeleton that stands upon Scipio’s beast, Luna, as if she were a chariot.

Death rides his mare with its head aflame, yet passing close reveals a mere man with white bones painted upon his lean woad-coated body. Fearless orbs regard Scipio from the eye-holes of a wooden owl mask.

[4] CHAPTER IV

Never one for close quarters, Aedan rides the chariot’s horses, a bare foot placed upon each of their wide backs. Wind lifts his smock, and the charioteer gawks at his naked ass with curiosity and disgust.

Most men don’t mind Aedan’s gaunt body after tasting his hole; it’s his soul they find unpalatable. (read more...)

[3] CHAPTER III

Roman victory kills more than those on the battlefield.

Like locusts, the legions consume everything within miles. Hungry soldiers ravage crops and slaughter livestock, leaving the defeated unfit for enslavement, to starve without a forest or animals. (read more...)

[1] CHAPTER I: THE LION

His name is Lucius Scipio Servius, or Scipio, to those who call him a friend.

Scipio stands a foot taller than most men, and his shorn head shines like ripened wheat. His body comes with an unobtrusive amount of muscle, yet these noble traits pale to his large green eyes—magnificent even to his rivals. (read more...)
