◇ Esca P.O.V ◇
Slave. . . Slave slave slave. That is all I am to these Romans. If my clan could see me now I would be stoned to death.
"Esca." I was snapped out of my thoughts by Marcus. The one Roman I can stand.
"What is if my friend?" I asked
"You were lost in thought again." He smiled at me. I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Remind me again why we must travel with four barbarians. I can stand one or two, drawing a line at three, but four is pushing it" Percious called to the rest of our company.
I sighed shaking my head. Typical Roman. . . always thinking he is better.
"Percious will you stop that loud mouth yours before it gets us killed"
"If only..." I heard my fellow Britain, Jact, murmur to Lirk and Trag. I found myself chuckling with them.
"Esca" I stopped chuckling and looked at Trag.
"Do yo know where we are?" He asked. My eyes widen and I quickly looked around the forest. We had walked off the small path and now we are in a place unknown to me. I looked to Lirk and Jact, they shooked their heads in response.
"Marcus." I whispered to him
"What is it my friend?"
"I do not know where we are. We have traveled far from the path."
"Are you sure my friend?" I nodded slowly. It is strange for me to be in a place I do not know. I have prided myself on knowing the land inside and out. And now it feels like I'm lost in the dark. "Very well." He stopped his horse and turned it to the eight others.
"We are going to stop here for tonight." He said
"Slave go get some firewood and food if you can manage it" Mallious said laughing with Lucious, his brother. Narisious talked with Marcus. And Percious chuckle with Farious.

As the sun started to set we laid down for the night. I had the first watch and it was quiet. . . Well Beside the Romans snoring.
Later in the night Lirk relieve me so I may have some sleep.
I dreamt of place with wooden giants in the trees and smoke in the day. Masks of iron and clothes of black. Flames and figures dances in the night. Then peace...it seemed like I was lying on my back looking up at a forest canopy. "Esca..." whispered a soft voice. I sat up in the dream to see who called me. I saw a woman in a dress the color of mint leaves. I couldn't see her face but I knew she was smiling at me. I stood and walked over to her. She held out her hand, it was small and rough. I took her hand with my own, "come." She whispered. I didn't object as she pulled me. I watched her body as she drug me into a bush which had a clearing on the other side. Then my feet became planted to the mossy ground. She gave a small pout before giving me a smirk."I'll see you soon." I wanted ask on what she said but I did not get to ask her such a question.
