Episode 5.2: The Riddle of the Scroll

 

Sextus, cōgitāns, prōcessit. "fortasse..." inquit. "fortasse hī servī sunt—"

 

sed stetit.

 

aliquid in āere mūtātum erat. sēnsus ille, quem Recentiī in ātriō Caeciliī sēnserant. angulī forī nōn iam rēctī vidēbantur. lūx erat falsior.

 

Bellātor Octaviānam spectāvit. Octaviāna adnuit. eundem sēnsum sentiēbant.

 

in angulō forī, umbra sē mōvit. nōn erat umbra nūbis. nōn erat umbra hominis ambulantis. erat umbra quae stābat et spectābat.

 

Sextus nihil vīdit. loquēbātur dē inscrīptiōne. sed Recentiī umbrām vidēbant.

 

sēnsus ille malus, sīcut aliquid cadēns, rediit.

 


 perge ad proximum mūnus.
