Episode 11.1: Mortuī Piscēs et Pharos

Via prope Londīnium, Britannia, 834 AUC (81 CE)

 

via inter arborēs longa erat. Tiberius iam ad vīllam redierat.

 

Recentiī sōlī ībant. sōl altus erat, et avēs in arboribus clāmābant.

 

deinde avēs tacuērunt.

 

Octāviāna cōnstitit. "audīsne avēs?" inquit.

 

"nihil audiō," inquit Bellātor.

 

"ita," inquit Octāviāna. "hoc dīcō."

 

tum sēnsus ille malus vēnit, sīcut aliquid cadēns.

 

tabula in manū Octāviānae lūcem mūtāvit. numerī annī nōn manēbant.

deinde nitor fuit, nōn ante eōs sed in latere. Recentiī sē vertērunt.

 

Sinistrus in viā stābat. paulō ante nōn ibi fuerat. umbra eius ad sōlem cadēbat.

 

Bellātor gradum rettulit. Octāviāna nōn rettulit.

 

Sinistrus tabulam spectāvit, deinde Recentiōs.

 

"melius est vōbīs nunc Alexandrīam vidēre," inquit.

 

"quid?" inquit Bellātor. "cūr Alexandrīam? quis tē mīsit?"

 

"nēmō mē mīsit."

 

Sinistrus subrīsit. deinde rīsus ēvānuit.

 

[TSTT SYSTEM MESSAGE: RESOLVING...]

 

lūx clāra facta est, et Recentiī nihil vidēre poterant. Octāviāna manum frātris quaesīvit et invēnit.

 

deinde tabula ātra fuit.
