A/N Joseph here! This prologue marks (well, was supposed to mark ) the closing of the submissions! Yay! After this, Ratty and I will spend some time planning this out, so we may be gone for a week or two. But the story will go on! Enjoy!

I just realized that "subway" in the UK has a different meaning than it does in the US. When I say subway, I'm referring to an underground electric railroad/train underneath a city that's used for transportation, not a pedestrian tunnel.

Prologue 3

Eutropius scanned his to-do list. Another night on the job.

"Tell Lauria to blah blah blah... Get Caesar's suit blah blah blah... Tell Janus to arrange a meeting with Mr. Daclation..." he mumbled, reading the list, "Check, Been there done that, done, done, done."

He took a deep breath, and his eyes flickered to the final item on the list. "Call Materius and make sure Caesar's ride is on time." He sighed happily and rubbed his hands together. The annual party at Caesar's palace, always held the night before the escorts left for those horrible, dirty districts. He couldn't imagine how the poor district citizens lived, without parties and fashion and convenience. But somehow they did, and he was glad of it. He picked up his work phone and dialed Materius, Caesar's personal driver.

"Hello?" came a voice from the other end, "This is Materius."

"Hello, the is Eutropius, Caesar's assistant," he said, beaming with pride, "I'm calling to make sure that Caesar's ride is on time."

"I can assure you that it will be. I'll be there in 10 minutes."

"Good. Goodbye."

Eutropius still wore that cheesy smile after he ended the call. He felt so... in control. Back in school, everyone looked down on him for trying different styles. Now, no one dared do that. Heck, he could even start his own trends.

Ten minutes later, Caesar was on his way to the party. Eutropius, however, was not as fortunate. He knew he should be content, since only the elite were invited, but he had to arrange his own transportation. He sighed. Back to the subway.

As he waited for the train, he felt fortunate to have been born in this day and age. He remembered being told that in the early 21st century, subway cars moved at around 70 miles an hour. Now, they were closer to 100 mph. The only reason they didn't go faster was safety.

The train whooshed into the station, and Eutropius was pushing his way into the station the moment the doors opened. He didn't find a seat, but he didn't care. He was giddy with excitement at the thought of attending this party, and the ride barely registered before he was getting off. He hurried to Caesar's mansion and entered through the back, as he had been told. Once he opened the door, he was assaulted by the sound of music and the smell of.. oh! the most expensive delights. He entered the main hall, where tables were set up with food and people were dancing. He rubbed his hands eagerly and was about to start getting food when he heard his name.

"Eutropius!" Caesar called. Eutropius turned around to find Caesar coming towards him, leading another man. "I want you to meet Cnaeus Vermellion."

"The Cnaeus Vermellion?" Eutropius gasped.

"The one and only," Cnaeus replied.

"Wow.. sir... it's.. it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Eutropius here has been very helpful," Caesar explained.

"I'm sure he has," the man said.

Eutropius couldn't believe his ears. Caesar was complimenting him. The one and only Caesar Flickerman was complimenting him! And introducing him to one of the richest men in the Capitol! He knew that his life had forever changed.
