Episode 2.2: To the House of Marcus Maecenas

 

in vīllā Sextus persōnam vestram ē somnō excitat.

 

Octāviāna circum ātrium spectat. adhūc sēmisomna est. “ubi fuimus?”

 

“erat Tītānomachia,” rēspondet Sextus. “erat proelium in quō Jūppiter Sāturnum superat. Jūppiter tunc erat rex deōrum. in fābulā vestrā, Jūppiter capit saxum magnum, erat saxum quod Sāturnus consumpsit!

 

“sed quoque in fābulā vestrā, Jūppiter Lapidem Neptūnō dedit. est signum! ubi Neptūnus Lapidem posuit? nesciō...” Sextus dīcit. 

 

Bellātor rēspondet, “fortassē Neptūnus in mare Lapidem iēcit!”

 

Sextus ad Octāviānam spectat. Octāviāna negat. Sextus quoque negat.

 

Bellātor clāmat, “quid!? fortassē…”

 

“sed nunc!” clāmat Sextus excitātus. “labor magnus vōs exspectat! Marcus Maecēnās volūmen habet. volūmen est in vīllā Marcī. egō volō habēre volūmen. cūr volūmen habēre volō? volūmen mōnstrat fortassē viam ad Lapidem.”

 

Sextus spectat Recentiōs. nitidus amīcus aliquid exspectāre apparet.

 

"dein?" rogat Sextus tandem. "quaestiōnēsne habētis?"

Option B: "ō Sexte," rogat Bellātor, "habetne Marcus custōdēs?"

Option C: "ō Sexte," rogat Octāviāna, "quōmodo intrāmus?"

Option D: "ō Sexte," rogat Bellātor, "ubi est volūmen?"

Option E: "ō Sexte," rogat Octāviāna, "quid est in volūmine?"

Option F: "ō Sexte," inquit Bellātor, "nōn necesse est nōbīs scīre plūs aliud. praeparātī sumus!"
