Episode 12.3: Praetōrium Potentium

 

Bellātor in tenebrīs rēctus stetit. Cannās in memoriā tenēbat, et mīlitēs quī nōn fūgērunt. "virtūs est nōmen tuum," inquit, magnā vōce.

 

diū nihil accidit. deinde vōx respondit, et nunc paene benigna erat. "ita. virtūs Rōmam fēcit, et virtūs manet. bene, puer."

 

Bellātor ad sorōrem sē vertit, quamquam eam vidēre nōn poterat. "puer," inquit, nōn laetus. Octāviāna in tenebrīs rīsit, sed nihil dīxit.

 

tum lūx ab īmīs gradibus surrēxit. ignis nōn erat, nec rubra erat, sed alba et quiēta, et nōn movēbātur. nunc gradūs vidēbant, et mūrōs, et Tertium post sē, in eōdem gradū ubi anteā fuerat. in īmō gradū mūrus erat, sine iānuā. et mūrus sē movēre coepit.
