~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You stupid scumbag! Touching my daughter who is betrothed nonetheless, by your vile hands!" The man brutaly began to beat the young Phoenecian man named Heero Yuy.
Heero cowered in the corner as the man threatened to strike him again. "A farmhand sleeping with the daughter of a rich merchant like me, Kamose Reyma!" The man-Kamose-kept on with both his vocal and physical assault on Heero. Heero noticed that his lady-love, Sorrena had quickly clothed herself and now had tears running down her cheeks as she watched the entire scenario of her naked lover-himself-be the victim of her father's anger, a stress reliever for him after he found out the two had been lovers.
"Daddy! Stop it! I was the one who seduced him! I lo--"
Kamose turned around and faced his horrified daughter, anger seething through his body. "Silence girl! You are in a great amount of trouble as is. It would be a miracle if that marriage with Gaelis is to go through once he gets word of this. This little heathen is going to pay for deflowering you!"
"No!" Sorrena yelled as one of her female servants tugged at her sleeve. "Sorrena, please let your father handle these matters. Let's go wait in the solarium..." The handmaid managed to drag her out of the barn and towards the house leaving the battered Heero to face his doom. Kamose tied Heero's hands together roughly behind his back and dragged him towards the town center.
Once they reached the town center, Kamose had him stand on a platform so everyone nearby could see him. Kamose began to shout aloud to get the town's people's attention before addressing the full fledged audience that now surrounded him.
"Men...women...travellers, I am here to inform you of this treacherous man's horrid actions towards my very own flesh and blood. He violated my daugter--" he paused to make sure the audience was listening with full attention and continued with his lie. "--My daughter now sits at home weeping, weeping for her loss of innocence while this man....this evil being shall be brought to justice!" Kamose thrusted a finger towards the slumped over Heero.
In all of his twenty-two summers, Heero thought, he had never had to encounter such cruelties and lies that had been presented before him, for being in love. Now, his status as a peasant-an orphaned farmhand at that-was causing him to lose and let him know he was meddling with fire. His status as a peasant prevented him from being involved with someone of a higher status. THe crowd now began to hiss and boo at him, calling out obceneties toward him.
"Kill him!"
"Stone him!"
The crowd yelled out more various forms of punishments, enjoyment clearly plastered on Kamose's face. He lifted his hands to silence the crowd. "My friends, I will not kill this man. No, that would be too easy. Instead I fortunately have good connections being the trader that I am, he will become a slave, sent off to some foreign country. Let them deal with this whore." The crowd cheered over the last sentence.
As Heero was brought towards the slaver's ship, he noticed Sorrena in the crowd. Her face had been covered by a green veil. She looked at him with tearful brown eyes as she waved at him as he was being forcefully shoved onto the ship. The burly slaver looked at him and grinned as he brought a hand to caress Heero's cheek with his calused hand. "This pretty boy will be worth a fine piece." He grinned letting his hand travel downwards before Heero kicked his shins and glared menacingly at his new captor. "Feisty one you are...definately worth a lot for those who like to break the new ones," he said laughing cruelly.
Heero felt his shoulders slump. He knew no one would save him now from this inevitable fate, being the bastard that he was. He turned to look once more at his now former love, Sorrena, as he was led to the slave hold of the ship.

"Caesar, our farmers are complaining their crops are dying. We need to send them some graind or food..." one of the senators in the Centuriate Assembly stated as he addressed Duo, their Caesar.
He sighed. The gods had not been so kind to the plebeians(1) this year. Crops were failing, he knew this, but there was not much he could really do but pray to Jupiter himself for help. He'd ask one of the temple dwellers to do that for him, right now, he was to tired to focus and listen to the demands and requests of the senators, he had an important engagement as it was. He raised a slender white hand to dismiss the senator who had been talking to him and abruptly stood up. "My fellow associates, it is time to end this session for the day. We will resume this tomorrow." With that said, he turned and fled the assembly hall.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw his friends Wufei, a member of the consul(2) stand to follow him, Trowa Barton, the other reigning consul following Wufei at a close pace. Not too far behind Trowa was Quatre who trailed them leaving the other members of his dominion, the praetors(3) take care of business. Duo had secretly known that his two friends, Trowa and Quatre were actually lovers despite the fact Trowa had been married to some Greecian woman named Hilde. He even had children with her. Duo then turned and snickered at his only friends once they had caught up to him. "Yes?"
Wufei, former wealthy merchant in the patrician society(4) cleared his throat and looked up at his Caesar and friend who has still dressed in his formal garb, with a nervous glint in his dark eyes. "Duo..." he said a bit hesitantly.
"What is it Wufei? I have an appointment with my daughter Philoclea..."
Trowa looked at Duo. "We have a gift for you...we got it this afternoon. If you follow us--"
Duo chuckled. "Quatre, what did you do this time?"
"Nothing, to be honest," Quatre squeaked. Duo lauged at his friends' nervousness and extended an arm. "Lead the way my friends. Philoclea can wait for a few minutes."
The three young men led Duo to the servant's quarters until they reached a small cubicle-like room. They opened the door for their questioning Caesar. There seated at the corner of the bed glaring staright ahead, was a young man with messy dark brown hair and piercing blye eyes. He was simply dressed in servant's clothes, the plain beige cotton top with the drawstring pants.
The boy--young man--Duo corrected as Quatre filled him in on the information about the said boy, was sitting there quite tense. He had learned that the young man, who hadn't even shown Duo any proper respects or manners when they had entered was a new slave from Phoenecia. He was barely twenty-two summers but only looked about eighteen. He was clean-slate, never been owned, never been used. Quatre stated that the man's name was Heero and through his babble mentioned this new slave was an early birthday present. The slave--Heero--turned around to look at them, glaring coldly at them before turning away(5). By the gods, this man was beautiful! Duo turned to thank his friends and noticed they had left him and his new slave alone to become properly 'acquainted'.
"Hello," Duo said, breaking the silence.
