Roman headed out with ten of his best men towards the south were the smoke could still be seen they would reach what was left of the village around dark. The Samoan took a back way that no one knew existed so they wouldn't be detected as well if need be they could ambush the enemy.
Seth walked in Randy's tent fuming from the news he just heard about the village. "Why did you slaughter everyone, you could of just burned the damn village down." He said as he paced his tent Randy smiled. "Why does it bother you if I remember correctly you had no issues destroying villages at one time?" He replied back.
Seth stopped to face his lover who had a smirk across his face. "That was a long time ago Randy and I've changed since then. I let this go to far." He said looking down as Randy eyed him "What do you mean?" Seth looked up "I kissed Dean so Roman had every right to beat my ass for touching what was his." Randy looked amused by Seth's confession. "You're telling me that the juggernaut and the prince are lovers, now this makes things more interesting." He said as a smile formed on his face. Seth could see that Randy was plotting something he only hoped that it failed.
Roman and his men reached the village after dark the smoke had died down and all that was left was the stench of death and remanence of a burnt village. They scoped out the village finding not a soul around. "These men couldn't of gotten very far Roman." Replied one of his soldiers who knelt down to study the tracks that were made that lead to the south. Roman surveyed the area rage filling him at the innocent lives for no reason at all. "Let's track these bastards down and show them what fear looks like." The Samoan said getting back on his horse. They rode a few more miles before spotting a fire in the distance they left their horses and grabbed their weapons. They gathered around Roman "will surround them and ambush them just like we normally do but I want one left alive to deliver a message, When their men come looking for them." The men nodded in agreement as they begin to part and headed into the darkness.
Roman heard the call from his men signaling that they were in position. Roman drew his sword as well as his men did. "Remember make the kill quick and watch out for each other." Roman said as he rose and let out a roar as he and his men charged the group who scrambled to get their weapons. Roman pulled out his sword where it quickly sunk in the abdomen of a man charging him. He grabbed the spare sword from the now dead body. Roman saw his men engaged in battle as he came across his next opponent. Roman charged the man as the soldier pulled his sword to swing; Roman countered the sword causing a loud clink as they collided. Roman swung the extra sword he had across his opponent's neck the warm liquid spraying across Roman's face as the men fell to his knees grabbing his neck. Roman kicked the men over as he found his next victim. When the last man was slain they gather the bodies set them in a pile and burned them.
Roman's second in command Ash brought over the only remaining soldier from the group to Roman. The guy trembled before the Samoan crying and pleading for his life. Roman laughed at the man. "Did you show mercy to the village that you help slaughter? The only reason you're still alive is to deliver a message for me and to tell me why you are on these lands?" Roman said as he saw a tree in the distance. "Will tie him up over there so when they come looking for their men they will find him." Roman said as the man was carried away pleading still.
When the fire died down Roman went to the now bound man against the tree. "Tell me why you were sent here?" Roman asked as he kneeled down to the man. The man trembled before him "Randy seeks revenged on the one who hurt his beloved; it was his orders to burn the village down." Roman looked at the man he knew who he was talking about. "Would that happen to be Seth by any chance?" The Samoan asked as he stood, the man nodding his head yes. "You will tell your ruler that he needs not to burn any more villages. I will face him one on one so he can have his revenge." Roman said as he started to walk away.
Roman and his men rode all night till they reached Andora, though weary Roman managed to check in on the boy that he brought in earlier. He was sleeping soundly so Roman decided not to disturbed him. He would wait till morning to speak with the boy. Roman made it to his room where a servant finished filling up his bath for him. He was covered in blood and didn't want Dean to see him like this. He stripped his armor off and handed it to the girl so it could be cleaned. There was a knocked on his door as the servant went to answer it.
Roman saw it was Dean who ordered the servant girl out. Dean approached Roman; he could see the now dried blood that stained his lover. Dean reached for Roman but the Samoan stepped back. "Don't Dean I'm filthy I was going to bathe before I saw you." Roman said as he pulled his soiled tunic off not caring about his modesty as he stepped in the bath. "Let me wash you Roman." Dean offered as he sat by the tub.
Roman hesitated before he finally agreed. Dean grabbed a cloth dipping it in the water as he went to wash Roman's face off. He continued this process till Roman's skin was free of the dried crimson liquid. Dean poured some shampoo in his hands and worked it into the Samoans hair. Roman groaned as his head lend in toward Dean's as his fingers messaged his scalped. When Roman was clean Dean helped him out of the tub and into a clean tunic.
Dean dried Roman's hair applying some scented oil to it before he combed it. Rarely did Roman allow himself this type of simple pleasure but considering what he would have to face he didn't mind it this time. Dean walked Roman over to his bed where he turned down the sheets as Roman settled on the bed. "Rest love will talk in the morning." Dean whispered as he saw Roman's eyes closing. When Dean was sure he was asleep he kissed him on the lips before covering him up and walking out the room.
