Episode 4.3.a

>Vīlla Sextī, Pompēiī, Ītalia, 79 CE<

revēnistis ad vīllam Sextī. ille in tablīnō inter cērās suās occupātus est.

 

"invēnī! invēnī cēram!" clāmat Sextus. "cēra mīra est. haec fābula mihi nōn est familiāris. nunc fābulam legō."

 

iterum mundus circum vōs micat et lentē ēvānēscit.

 

>In imāginātiōne TSTT, bellum Trōiānum, aetās aēnea (Bronze Age)<

 

adestis in urbe Trōiā. urbs ārdet. flammae circum mūrōs sunt. clāmōrēs undique veniunt. nox plēna est ignī.

 

antē vōs stat vir fortis et nōbilis. cum hominis imāgine verba facit. imāgō est, nōn vir vīvus. imāgō Hectoris est.

 

"tū es fortissimus," inquit imāgō, "sed Trōia perdita est. Priamus mortuus est. Graecī arcem cēpērunt. tempus est fugere. Lapidem cape, et ab Agamemnone fuge. fātum tē ad occidentem vocat. ibi novam Trōiam ex cinere aedificābis."

 

Aenēās caput movet. dubitat. patriam relinquere nōn vult.

 

subitō vōs prope Hectorem videt. corpus eius tremit. "vōs!" inquit.
