Chapter 1
Darien woke up in a strange and dark room. It looked like a dungeon of some sort.
'Where am I?' Darius asked himself.
He sat up and looked around. There was very little light in the room, it coming from a small window near the ceiling. Hay was strewn about everywhere. As he was looking around, he noticed a small wooden door on the left wall of the room. Just then it opened.
"Hello Darius. I am happy to see you have finally awaken. You have a long day ahead of you." said the woman who came through the door.
As there was not a lot of light, all he could make out was that the woman had long brown hair, and wore a dark colored robe.
"Who are you? Where am I? Why am I here?" Darius asked in a rush.
"Darius, it is me, Rekina. I can't believe you don't recognize me." she said while smiling.
"Rekina. I apologize. There was too little light for me to recognize you." He paused for a second. "I didn't kill your husband."
"I know you didn't. As rough as you can be sometimes, I know you would never have hurt Andrewius." She said while setting a tray with soup and bread down in front of Darius. He didn't notice she had it before.
"Then why am I here? Where is here?" He said while slowly eating his food.
"Even though I know you are innocent, Rome doesn't. Lord Caesar wants to have a trial. Though I doubt it will be fair, he said he owes you that much for being a general. If you are found guilty, they will banish you, you know that?" She said with concern.
"Yes, I know." He answered in a monotone voice.
"You're not afraid." It wasn't a question. "Well, I must go. You will be called up to have your trial in the mid-day hour. So, rest now, and be prepared." Rekina sighed.
"Where exactly am I?" Darius asked.
"You are in the an old warehouse next to the palace. You are safe. Don't fret. You are a prisoner, but you are also a well respected man of Rome." With that she left Darius to come on with an argument for the court.
"I am doomed."
