Chapter 30

47BCE

Caesars Camp coast of Spain

Caesar could still hear his men Chanting his Name he had been victorious after 2 years of brutal skirmishes and many Naval Campaigns Caesar had finally forced Pompey to fight him directly when that day came, he found himself outnumbered Pompey had gathered 10 Legions worth of Men to fight his 8.

Caesar had to take a loss to win the true prize he withdrew his Legions from Occupied Germania

Leaving half to defend Gaul the rest to Italy or to him In Spain, however Pompey had Fled with what was Left of his Legions many Senators surrendered themselves and their forces to him including Marcus Tullius Cicero and the son of his lover young Marcus Junius Brutus.

He would send them back to Rome with Marcus Antonius who would keep order in the Capital while he chased Pompey from what Cicero had told him the remaining Senators would head to Africa to rally new Legions while Pompey would sail East to Spartan Territory to request Aid from the Immortal Queen.

He could not allow that to happen taking a single Legion he would set sail hoping to stop Pompey from reaching Spartan shores.

He didn't have to worry as the Pompeian fleet was caught in a storm with all but one ship lost.

(coast of the Peloponnesian peninsula)

Pompey woke to when he heard what men he had Left screaming and yelling calls to arms running to the side of the ship that was Beached he saw a large group of Spartan warriors he turned to his wife and children knowing the could get hurt he ordered his men to stand down.

Jumping down from his ship he raised his hands in surrender. "I seek an audience with her Majesty the Immortal Queen of Sparta for I seek sanctuary in your lands."

Within the hour the group of Romans were marched towards the Capital for many Romans they believed Rome was the jewel of the Known world but when there sights came across the Spartan Capital they were in shock the city was huge with a population of 900 thousand citizens it rivalled Rome in size but in pure cleanliness it trumped Rome.

The group of Romans were dragged into the Palace Throne room where various members of the Military priesthood council and nobles were gathered and on there Thrones sat the Two Princesses of Sparta there mother the Queen consort Hippolyta, but in the Middle on the largest throne in full Armor except her Helm and in full goddess form sat the Immortal Queen herself with an Eagle perched on her shoulder.

"well well Pompey Magnus welcome to Sparta thought I wonder what brings you here uninvited". Were the Immortal Queens first words to the still in shock Roman General.

"Your majesty I originally come to ask for Sparta's Aid to beat back the Traitor Caesar however with my Fleet destroyed I ask for sanctuary within your Domain." His request had the Imperial nobility chatting wildly much to Kassandra's annoyance.

Kassandra realised this could be beneficial to Sparta as long as Pompey was Alive Caesar would not risk war with the Empire to capture one Roman it would look bad back in Rome looking down at the Roman, she stood from her throne.

"General Pompey I have heard your plea and grant you temporary sanctuary within my Borders you will be escorted to the ports were a ship is waiting to sail to the City of Cyrene in the Provence of Egypt a villa will be provided for you and your men to live however be warned any attempt to assume command of the region will see you killed."

Turing to a Greek woman dressed in Egyptian Robes the Immortal queen waved her over. "General this is Grand Vizier Cleopatra VII Philopator she overseas the Province of Egypt like her family have done for centuries."

Cleopatra bowed to her Monarch before smiling to the Roman General motioning him to Follow her out of the Palace towards the city Gates before leaving, she gave a secret smile to a member of the royal family before walking out.

Within a month Pompey had settled into his new home however the news had reached Caesar who was currently bogged down fighting in Africa when word came that Pompey had been granted Sanctuary this caused a very big problem for him as long as Pompey was alive he was a standard for his enemies to gather around.

Kassandra sat with her wife as they looked at the war table it wold not be long till Caesar won the war in Africa he had defeated Numidia and occupied New Judea right on the borders with the Empire only the rebuilt Carthage remained under the Senates control.

"what are you thinking Kass" came Hippolyta's voice as she wrapped her arms around Kassandra holding her close, smiling Kassandra kissed her hand before looking back at the map. "I am wondering if it is worth sending military Support to the Senate or support in the means of mercenary's and supplies".

"The Senates time is over Kassandra Caesar has won this war however like all Dictators he will fall from power now come on let's go to bed." The two Queens left the war room towards their personal Chambers to enjoy a quiet night in each other's embrace the wars of the Romans could wait.
