Third Person POV

A battle was taking place outside the principia. Fellow Romans fought each other, all fighting for one thing, the praetor. One side was fighting for Reyna, while the other side fought for Samuel. If the Titans had attacked then, this camp would've been doomed to fall.

Tyler POV

It was after the war games. Octavian had gathered the 1st cohort to an assembly.

"Romans, tomorrow we shall fight for a purpose!" announced Octavian. Confused chatter and gasps rang out from the cohort, not including me, he had told me about this already.

"Tyranny has ruled this legion for too long!"

"What?"

"Is this a rebellion?"

"Outrageous!"

"The Tyrant has forced us to his bidding for so long!"

"Huh?"

"He demands for us to do his chores!"

"He demands we give him his luxury! He demands that any powerful legionnaire must be killed!"

"We must topple this throne of Tyranny! We have suffered too long!" Collective gasps rang out from the crowd.

"We must relieve this legion of this… Tyrant! He has pushed us to the limit! WE MUST ACT! We must relieve the throne of… the tyrant Samuel! WHO IS WITH ME ?!"

After a short pause, " I! I!"rang out from the crowd.

"Ave Octavian!"

"No more tyranny!"

"Ave!"

"Outrageous!"

"Traitors!"

"Mutineers!"

"If you claim that I mutiny, you are wrong! Roman law declares that we can rid ourselves of the praetor as long as the other one is with us! If you do not agree with me, then it's you who are the mutineers!"

"Outrageous! Kill the rebel!" shouted the soldiers loyal to Samuel, well not exactly loyal, blackmailed or controlled.

Fighting instantly broke out between the members of the 1st cohort. I drew my sword and charged, not risking any fire. Little did I know that the other barracks also burst into fighting, the civil war had started.

Jason POV

"Romans, I have grave news," announced Dakota.

"Huh?"

"Bother"

"Oh, CENSORED me!"

"The 1st cohort has declared war on the praetors; I… have been blackmailed to join."

"Nooo!"

"Poor Dakota!"

"I knew this was coming."

"Please, join the praetors and…. Fight against me and the others that are blackmailed, in fact… capture me and pretend I put up a huge fight." I was shocked at what Dakota had just told us. The 1st cohort, declaring war? Oh Bother…..

Tyler POV

We had managed to push the mutineers outside the barracks, pressing them toward the principia. Just then, Reyna ran on to the scene with some praetorian guards, but only 4. Our small reinforcements helped us push the mutineers even further down the road, both sides had heavy casualties. Just then, I remembered, we were outside, I could use fire. So, I raised my palms and blasted out a column of hot flame. Hmmm, weird, it was vertical, but it went horizontally, pursuing the mutineers and shooting jets of flame at their heels. Somehow, I felt very weak after using this, I crumpled to the ground.

Third Person POV

When Tyler fainted, the column of fire continued to pursue the mutineers lashing out at their ankles. The roaring inferno chased the mutineers to the principalis, where it flicked out and disappeared. While the Reynavian legionnaires cheered, the Samuet legionnaires retreated into the principia. Little did Tyler know that this fire he had used was a weaker version of the Egyptian Pillar of Fire, the most complicated spell a fire user could cast. The remnants of the battle still remained, casualties were lying around the field, this battle had a heavy toll. Part of Camp Jupiter was burning from the Pillar of Fire, taking down a few shops and even part of the Via principalis.

2nd cohort…..

A battle had broken out. The Samuets were outraged at the Reynavian's speeches. They believed that Samuel should remain praetor, regardless of his monstrosities. The clash of swords rang from all over the place. Legionnaires fell here and there; still, the Reynavians were pushing the Samuets back, driving them to the Principalis. Slowly and painfully, they managed to push the Samuets far from the barracks. The Samuets knew they had to retreat and completely fell apart after knowing the sheer novelty of being on the losing side. Unfortunately, they managed to escape the clutches of the winning team. The 2nd cohort, originally 36 legionnaires, became 22 legionnaires; the battle had taken a heavy toll on the cohort.

3rd cohort….

Another small battle had taken place. The Samuets were quickly driving the Reynavians out, they were mostly loyal to the praetors, not Octavian, and it had not occurred to them that Reyna was on Octavian's side. Light casualties were experienced. It was basically just a small skirmish followed by a long chase. At last, the Reynavians were driven out and had ran for the 1st cohort barracks. The 3rd cohort, originally 34 legionnaires was reduced to 31, only one Samuet had perished and 2 Reynavians had died.

4th cohort… the completely blackmailed cohort…

There was no contest here, somehow Octavian had blackmailed every single legionnaire in this cohort, well except for one, who was wise enough not to protest, just to watch, wait and report their actions to Samuel, so while the other cohorts fought a hard battle, they just rested to gain their energy for the next day.

5th cohort….

Honk! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Yum yum yum. Honk! Shew! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Charles…. My baby… Waaaahhhh! No,no! Honestly! I didn't eat the pizza! Noooooo! War… ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Honk! Shew! Yum, yum, yum. My teddy bear, o how I love you! Honk! Shew! Yum,yum,yum. Octavian…. Samuel…..ZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzYum, yum,yum.

Author POV

Uhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm, never mind, nothing exciting there….

Third Person POV

And so…. That's how the 1st battle of the Roman Civil war of Octavian happened! The 1st cohort was originally 35 legionnaires, after the Battle of the Castras, it's population decreased to 28, 4 Samuets perished, 2 Reynavians died, 20 Reynavians and 8 Samuets remained.

The 2nd cohort, originally 36 legionnaires, became 22 legionnaires, 8 from the Samuets and 6 from the Reynavians, 12 Reynavians and 10 Samuets remaining.

The 3rd cohort, originally 34 legionnaires, decreased to 31, 2 Reynavians and 1 Samuets perished. 27 were Samuets, 4 were Reynavians.

The 4th cohort did not receive any casualties, it was originally 39 legionnaires and still are 39 legionnaires. All of which were Reynavians.

The 5th cohort was all Samuets. There was no casualties except for 4 people, they fell off their beds and died. (Joking!)
