kill him do it now chin strap only a roman helmet does that
he's a legionary
what's your name
i'm called guern
my name is lucia's kaya smithalis first cohort of the ninth legion
have you survived up there for so long my tribe was called the selgavi they took me
in made me one of their own i have a woman two sons my life is here now
i don't trust him he's a deserter we don't know that he's still a roman he was a roman when he ran
i don't know what your father's orders were but
all i know
is that we had it coming
why did they have to come north there's nothing here worth taking
and they've been satisfied what they have
they always have to punish and push on looking for more conquests more territories more wars
just tell me what happened
when the order came for the 9th to march north it was autumn
worst weather they'd had in years
for weeks we marched no sign of them
suddenly they just appeared out of the mist
we could hear them picking the men off at the back one by one
finally we just stopped trying to find open ground and we turn and face them
those last few days of the legion i've never been so frightened
we fought back to back no sleep pissing where we stood
they came at us like animals
this is the killing ground
all the northern tribes were here
but the worst were the painted warriors of the seal people
they hacked the feet off the dead so the souls couldn't walk into the afterlife
they use those stones as altars to kill the officers
they ripped their hearts up where they were still alive
we could hear them being sacrificed
my father what happened to him
the last time i saw your father he was surrounded by the warriors of the seal people
did he die fighting
did he die fighting i don't know
i ran before the end a lot of us did you coward
no you weren't here
you don't know what it was like
who has the eagle they say the seal people have it how do i find them
he knows
he's brigantis
they fought here
you always knew that place existed didn't you
we've wasted weeks searching and all this time you could have told me
your tribe was there and they butchered my father's men like dogs your father came to kill
he came to punish us because we would not bow to the name of wrong
yes i'd heard of this place to me and to all my people it is the place of heroes
how dare you you're still my slaves and you'll be dead in the situation some miserable life um
no
