Note from Kanuro5: I'm finally finished another year of college! Yesterday was the last day of final exams and I did well. This means that chapters are going to be made a lot faster.

A Place in This World

"Why in Jupiter's name are you here?!" Lucius' voice could be heard bellowing from inside his tent as he yelled at his eldest son.

"I have told you, Father; to serve you and to fight by your side during this campaign," Proculus said, as he stood at attention like a legionary; enduring his father's livid scowl.

"I have commanded you to stay in Alesia, not follow me out here! Were my instructions not clear?!"

"Clear as the sky. But I viewed it best that I accompany—"

"I am your father!" Lucius shouted, "I am the only man alive that views what is best for you! Did you…wait, does your mother know; oh Gods! Her heart must be shattered into shards because of your recklessness! And what about Appia, your wife?! Does she know of your departure?"

Proculus sighed uncomfortably as he scratched the back of his neck and looked away from his father's eyes, "I…I did not tell them. If I did so, then they would have used everything imaginable to stop me."

"You would have them heartbroken and frightened?"

"No Father, I would have them understanding of my true purpose."

"Your purpose is to the safety of Alesia! Who runs the city in your absence?"

"Before I left, I ordered Prefect Calpurnius to overlook the city. He has over 200 Town Watch militia at his disposal so the city is defended from any attack. Do not worry Father, I have thought this through."

"Evidently not since you followed us all the way out here," Lucius sneered, "How did you even navigate your way to the legion?"

"It was because of Cassius."

"Who is this Cassius?"

"The man who stood beside me when we were caught, that was Cassius. The day after you and your legion left for war, I took my armor and sword and rode my horse that I was given, Remus, out to find your legion. Upon leaving the gate, I ran into Cassius who was entering the city. I told him of my haste and he volunteered to aid in the tracking of the legion with me."

"So you followed a man that you have just met? Are you truly a fool?" Lucius laughed darkly as he rolled his eyes, "The man could have been a spy or an assassin with thoughts of destroying all that is Roman."

"Do you hear yourself? Cassius is not like that, he is a simple fur trader who has done a noble duty and dropped his wares to aid me in finding the legion. Of the 17 days that I was with him, he has proved a scout, a good trainer as he has aided me in improving my skills with the sword, and a good friend," Proculus passionately defended his companion.

"'He dropped his wares' and volunteered to lead you here?" the old Roman General asked with suspicion before sighing aloud, "What does he want for his service? This is obvious that he desires something for aiding you."

"All he seeks is a small sum of coin, and to ride by our side during the battle."

"Why would he desire that?"

"He hates the Gauls, Germanians, and Britons as much as we do and prays for their demise. I would actually want Cassius to be by our side."

Lucius sighed, "First, that is not your decision to make. Second, his name is Roman yet upon his outward appearance he appears anything but a Roman. To me, he resembles a barbarian. He may be a spy, Proculus."

"He is not."

"How do you know?"

"If he was a spy or an assassin, he would have ended my life weeks ago upon learning my identity."

"Did it ever come to mind that he was trying to find the whereabouts and the secrets of my legion?"

Proculus walked over to his father and peered into his eyes, "Father, believe me when I say this, Cassius is no spy, he is my friend."

"Friend?" Lucius scoffed in his son's face, "He is a friend to you in about 17 days?"

"Yes he is. He saved my life. You did not know that did you? It was night and we had made camp, Cassius went off into the bushes to relieve himself; that is when five thieves entered the camp and held a knife to my throat. I thought that my life was over, until Cassius came soaring out of the bushes with sword in hand and slayed all five thieves. Father, the man saved my life. He is undoubtedly my friend. On our trip together he has taught me a little of tracking, he has taught me to prepare meals from the wild, he has even aided my skill in the sword; although I am not as skilled as Vitus, I have made substantial progress in my own right because of Cassius. He is my friend and not a spy!"

"I will judge the man for myself; if I find him to be a spy, then he will be strangled."

"Father, you cannot—"

"I can do what I want because I am your father and the General! I do not know what possessed your mind to travel here, but you will head back to Alesia at once."

"No I will not go, Father! If I go back now, winter would be upon the land and I may perish in my attempt to return home. Father…you cannot send me back for this reason, you know this. All I want is to prove myself!" Proculus earnestly protested.

"You will prove yourself when I deem it so," Lucius said as he poured himself a cup of wine, "I will come to see you to proper review later."

"I will rather see myself prove my worth to you in this campaign," Proculus said, emphasizing his passion.

"And I have told you that I do not desire to hear of your talk—"

"You told me to act like a man, Father!" Proculus snapped. "And as a man, I can speak all day or I can show you that I am different!"

"And a man does not disobey the orders given to him for his own selfish desires!" the father yelled at his son. He downed his wine and approached his eldest son and looked at him with compassion in his eyes, "Proculus…you say that you want to prove yourself; yet you disregard my orders, and ran away from home without informing your loving mother and wife. How can I lay trust in you if you ignore my instructions?"

Proculus dipped his head in mild embarrassment at the truth behind the question. How could he gain his father's trust after what he did? If he wanted to stay in the legion to prove himself, then he had better come up with an excellent answer.

Proculus raised his head and stared through his father's eyes, "Father…I recall you once told me about the rise of our clan. How our ancestor and patriarch, Flavius Julius, bribed the Senate to give him the mission to attack the island of Sardinia over priority of the Scipii nearly two hundred years ago. And was it because of his grandson, Secundus, who ordered an assassin to murder his grandfather's political rival, Titus Brutus, in his sleep so that Patriarch Flavius won the election of the Senate for the position of Consul? And how is it that we Julii repeatedly have games thrown in our honor in the arena every six months? Is it not because we send the Editor of the games foreign red and white wine from your conquests and give it to him and the Senate? Not to mention, how you even started your war upon Hispania. Uncle Decius sent you to take one province, yet you found it in your interest to continue sacking Spanish cities, without proper order or command from Decius or the Senate and now Hispania is conquered because of you!

"Father…you preach how I have orders and I should follow them. I understand the purpose behind such message, but you cannot deny me that some of the Julii's greatest achievements were based on illegal actions that our clan took for greater glory. They disregarded the common oaths they were sworn to uphold for the pursuit of renowned ambition. This is why I am here, father. I have misplaced your trust many times in the past, and I…I will not bear false tongue, I will probably do so in the future. But for this campaign to rescue Praetor Marcus Maxentius, my wife's cousin, you have my utter word that you will be able to lay trust in me once more. If Vitus is your prodigy and the future of the legion…then so be it. But I will be your will and your hands, you ask me of something and I will see it done. I humbly ask you as your cherished son, please grant me this chance."

Lucius ran his hand through his thinning hair, contemplating what to say. For the longest time, he could see something in his son's eyes; it was bigger than an ember yet smaller than a fire, but at the same time it wasn't a spark. But it was something; he had something in his eyes that said he was serious about his role in this legion. He also realized that as of late, Vitus has been acting up on his own; especially for what has happened today. He thought that he toughened Vitus for war, but for what he has seen today, Vitus was weak-willed. Proculus may have acted a fool with sins for women and wine, but he knew for a fact that he toughened his eldest son. If Proculus was beside Vitus; maybe just maybe, he could get Vitus to see the true necessity of war.

Lucius sighed and rubbed the bottom of his jaw before turning his eyes on his patient son, "Alright Proculus, you may join us on this campaign. But, you will be expected to follow me as a soldier. You will be under Vitus' command and you will sleep in his tent. Also, you must bring Cassius to me at once."

Proculus' face lit up at the news, "Yes Father! Gratitude for this specia—" Proculus quickly straightened up, remembering of what he promised and of who he was talking, he saluted his father and said, "Gratitude, General."

The son turned around and exited the tent with a broad, proud smile on his face. Lucius drank another cup of wine, scoffing at the idea of allowing his eldest son to join him. Yet, maybe Proculus would turn into a fine soldier because of this campaign. Anything was possible in war, maybe Proculus would surprise him.


Five minutes later, Proculus' guide, Cassius, entered Lucius' tent being escorted by two guards. Lucius waved his guards back as he walked forward to the man that led his son to him. He stared into the longed haired man's beige eyes and offered him a cup of wine, in which the man hesitantly took.

"Go on, drink," Lucius commanded. Cassius eyed the cup of wine suspiciously before finally putting the cup to his lips. "So your name is Cassius, is it not?"

"That it is, General," the man replied timidly with a broad foreign accent, having a hard time looking into Lucius' steel-filled eyes.

"Why so nervous around me, Cassius?"

"Because of whom you are, General. Proculus has told me a multitude about your laurels. How your undefeated legion is the strongest out of the entire Republic of Rome. And how you completely destroyed the Spanish barbarian tribes within three years of your conquest of Hispania; such things were titanic. And of course your son mentioned your heroic and valiant stand at Lucretian Bridge where you held off the invading Gallic army for three days, and, how you personally ran unto the bridge and slayed 30 barbarians to save your Tribune. A man with such prestige and valor is worth someone of my humble station to quake in front of their legend."

Lucius chuckled and poured himself some more wine, smiling proud at this man's flattery. Lucius quickly got over this and continued with the questions.

"Your name is Roman…yet your appearance and accent however is not. From where do you hail?"

"General, I hail from the province of Transalpine Gaul outside the city of Massilia, I was raised around Legio XIV, under the banner of…Sertor Julius. I was raised around the Roman tongue yet I kept the accent of my people, I apologize because I could never erase it. As for my hair…I find it appropriate pride that I must keep with my people."

"Sertor?" Lucius said, chuckling at the familiar name, "Sertor was my cousin. We played together when we were children. He was a good man and a respected general…it was most tragic…that his throat was slit in the middle of the night by Gallic assassins." Lucius quickly downed the cup of wine; trying hard not to remember the pain he felt when he heard the news. Yet Lucius continued on, "What is your profession?"

"I am a hunter and a fur trader. I sell the pelts of foxes, hares, deer, wolves, and occasionally bears; but those are the most difficult. I make good coin in my profession," Cassius said proudly.

"Apparently, you dropped your wares and aided my son follow us." Lucius got in his face and stared into his eyes, "Why were you entering Alesia if your home was Massilia and for what purpose would you aid Proculus?"

Cassius' knees began to tremble in sight of the imposing general, but he steeled his nerves and gave him his answer, "I shall not bear false tongue, General. I did it for two reasons: for coin, and…for vengeance. Allow me to start from the beginning, as the winter approaches; the demand of pelts for warmth is at its highest and the ones that shall require it the most are those that live in the north where it snows constantly. So I approached Alesia every year around the winter to hunt and procure pelts to sale. But as I approached the gates of Alesia at night, I found your son trying to sneak out of the city with his horse. I went to ask him if I could enter the city, not knowing his real identity. With a torch in my hand, the light from the flame revealed the armor of a general and I realized that he was a general. I asked him where he was heading to and he said to find the Twenty-Eighth legion, so I—"

"Realizing that he was trying to find the legion, you thought you could claim a reward from him by taking him to the legion, am I correct?" Lucius interrupted, already knowing what would happen.

"That is correct. Using my tracking skills as a hunter, I figured it would be easy to track over 5,000 men throughout the countryside. I told your son and he was elated that I would be his guide, but I also wanted this for vengeance. During my eighteenth year, my parents were slaughtered by Germanian raiders…and the pain…the pain of their deaths have fueled me for seven years to find a way to exact some sort of vengeance. And now proper opportunity has presented itself, and if it may please you, I would like to be your son's bodyguard. I have my own horse, my own sword and I will do my duty to protect your son."

"You want to be my son's bodyguard?" Lucius laughed at the notion, but upon seeing the seriousness on Cassius' face, he stopped. Lucius poured himself yet another cup of wine and steadily drank it, thinking over the request.

Lucius sighed after finishing his cup and told the patient guide, "Very well, I grant you right as Proculus' bodyguard, you will stay in the tent that he is sharing with his younger brother, Vitus. Go see praefectus castrorum Sabinius, the camp prefect, and he will situate you with appropriate armor and weapons. It has been a long and stressful day and I am tired. Leave me and go to Proculus' side."

"Gratitude for your understanding," Cassius said, bowing to the General and breathing easier that his interrogation was over. As Cassius turned to leave, he stopped at tent flap and cautiously turned around to the drinking general, "General…if I may and I pray that I do not overstep my new position. As you can imagine, I have spent seventeen days with your son and he has told me much. He knows that your anger with him is justifiable in some instances, but he is not a lost cause. He truly loves you and desires to be exceptional under your command."

Lucius did not say a word; he just kept his gaze on Cassius and casually drank his cup of wine. Cassius bowed once more and walked out, saying what he needed to say to calm Lucius' anger against his son.


Inside the Commander's tent, Vitus was sitting on his bunk clutching the dagger that robbed the Candevaci chieftain of his life as he stared blankly at it, lost in his past actions. He could close his eyes, and remember vividly how the cold steel tore through the bounded chieftain's neck with ease and how he could hear the low, distinct sounds of the chieftain gurgling on his own blood. This was utter madness to remember such things; Vitus placed his dagger away and buried his hands in his face, wondering if every warrior felt this way after killing their first man. Did Oroles feel this way too?

"Where the fuck is the wine?" a familiar voice shouted from outside his tent. Vitus snapped out of his daydream. He groaned aloud and rubbed his eyes, it was his elder brother, Proculus. He didn't want to deal with him at the moment.

The tent flap flew open and Proculus came through holding two full cups of wine in both hands. At the sight of his brother, Proculus rushed over to him with a big smile and hugged him without spilling a drop of wine.

"Vitus! I am glad to see that you are well!" Proculus said.

"Yes…I am...it lifts heart to see you okay as well," Vitus said hesitantly.

"Excuse me dear brother." Proculus took the moment to down the two cups of wine in his hands in seconds. He threw the cups on the ground and snickered with satisfaction, "Damn! How I missed the taste of wine! The last time I enjoyed the spoils of wine was my birthday one month ago."

"The first thing you do after you arrive at camp is drink wine?" Vitus asked.

"Of course, almost a month with no wine would drive nearly any man mad," the elder brother laughed as he patted his younger brother on the back. Vitus merely looked at him in mild disgust.

"Brother," Vitus began, "Why…why are you here? Father told you to remain in Alesia? How did you get out here?"

"The reason I'm here is because…Vitus, do you recall what Father told me before you two left?"

Vitus had to think back a little, but remembered the awkward incident and felt even more awkward saying what Lucius had told Proculus, "I do, he said that he 'had no need of you' because…well…you were not like me…"

"That is correct. Brother, let me tell you…hearing those words from our own father, it shattered my heart into a multitude of pieces," Proculus remembered vividly, "And the day after you left, I felt this…surge inside my heart that I…I wanted to go out and prove our father wrong. I wanted to show him that I am just as capable as you are in war, if I just showed him that, I bet I could change his entire opinion on me."

"You blind fool," Vitus sneered, shaking his head, "You left home against Father's will to seize glory and approval? You cannot be serious! What about Mother? Did you forget about her? Gods aid her; she is probably stricken with dread because of your absence? And what of Appia, your wife? Did you even inform them of what you were doing?"

"Of course not, they would use their entire being to stop me. I left them a note, Vitus. And then I left in the middle of the night, which is where I met Cassius…he was the man beside me earlier. He acted as a guide for me and has proved a great friend. Because of him, we were able to track all movements of the legion."

At the end of his story, Proculus was expecting some sort of smile of approval from his younger brother, as if trying to tell him how great it was that he tracked down the legion after crossing many miles through barbarian lands alone. But Vitus didn't smile, he just glared at his brother; still mad that Proculus left their mother and his wife without properly informing them, but also the events of today still resonated throughout his mind.

"I see," Vitus said flatly, "Well, I will have to thank this Cassius for ensuring your safety."

"What troubles you?"

"I am fine," Vitus lied.

"No, you are not." Proculus approached his brother and looked into his face, "Your face is always present with a smile of good will, but now your face bears the signs of misery. What is wrong? Do you want to speak of it?"

Vitus did want to talk to someone about the way he was feeling, but his usual companion, Oroles, and along with the rest of the Auxilia were forbidden from the legion's festivities and were ordered to stay in their camp by Lucius. And every other Roman was too drunk with "victory" to lend an ear to. Proculus may have been mean-spirited and selfish on occasions, but he was still his brother, his only natural viable option left.

Vitus sighed and sat on his bunk and allowed Proculus to sit beside him. Vitus started from the beginning, in how he heard of Lucius' plans for the last Gallic tribe and how he and his father had their first real fight and as the days passed by, their relationship began to strain even more. He told Proculus of the blind Gaul that wandered into camp, his rush to the Summit, their descent down into the burning Gallic settlement, and to Vitus ultimately taking the life of the Gallic chieftain. After hearing the lengthy tale, Proculus gazed at his hurt younger brother…and applauded with a chuckle.

"You…you applaud?" Vitus asked.

"I do…I am proud of how you finally stood up to Father!" Proculus laughed. "It was about time."

Vitus was stunned. "Did you not hear a single word of my tale?!" he snapped.

"Apologies, Vitus. I did, I heard every word, but I am just proud that you finally told him off in his tent and in front of his men! And I here I stood, believing that you would be Father's obedient dog for the rest of your life. And then, you even tried to kill him? Vitus, that took such…such…I cannot even think of a word that accurately describes what you tried to do. You must have had that same fire in your soul that you used against me a month ago." Proculus stood up and poured himself some more wine, "I know you must feel that fire in your chest, Vitus. But why do you hide it? You waited until an entire village was destroyed to unleash it. Where is that fire?"

"That fire…that rage…it was, it felt truly horrible," Vitus mumbled, still feeling that fire that raged inside him when he went berserk against his father, "I lost control and almost killed our Father! I almost killed you during our fight! I-I do not want to lose control like that, it felt…wrong." Proculus simply scoffed at the notion and drank his wine gluttony.

"Brother, you do not understand the pain I felt when I took the chieftain's life," Vitus told him.

"Why do you cry? You have finally killed a man, you made Father so proud," Proculus nonchalantly stated. Vitus snapped his head up.

"I did not kill him, Proculus. I murdered him."

"No you did not, you took his life. You did not commit murder."

"Have you ever killed a man, Proculus?!"

"No I have not."

"Neither have I. I have murdered a man."

"To murder and to kill is the same thing!"

"They are not, when I murdered this chieftain; this was in no form of self-defense, this was not a killing in war, for he had already surrendered. He surrendered to Father, and I…I was tasked to murder him! That is murder, Proculus! I am not a soldier yet, or a man, I am a murderer! But, to think that Father would do something of this magnitude—"

Proculus' laughter in disbelief interrupted Vitus' reflection. "You must be making a jest, because it is obvious what kind of man our father is," Proculus said, stilling laughing, "He is a general first and a father second; such was obvious at a young age for me to understand. Of course he would lie to you about his real motives! I cannot believe that it took you this long to realize this, OUR FATHER IS A HYPOCRITE!" Proculus emphasized.

"Proculus! That still does not excuse his actions! He ordered his soldiers to butcher women and children! They were innocent!"

"They were Gauls! The moment Rome stepped on Gallic soil; they were instantly deemed guilty by the Republic! Open your naïve eyes, my brother! Why are so fed up on what you had witnessed? Many Roman generals have destroyed numerous villages and slaughtered the occupants; we both have read such exploits! Why does this bother you?"

"You were not there, Proculus. You were not there to see the full atrocity that no scroll could describe so accurately. I have seen…so many things, that it turns my stomach and tears away at my heart." Vitus shuddered as he remembered every brutal act he had seen.

Proculus buried his face into his hand and groaned loudly, his younger brother's naiveté was absolutely irritating. Did Vitus not know that they were in a war? That anything and everything could happen in a campaign? For all of his faults that surrounded Proculus, there was one thing that he was that Vitus wasn't; and their father realized this; Proculus was a realist.

"Vitus! Cease your fucking whining!" Proculus snapped. "You are finally in a war, something that we both have desperately been seeking; you were even chosen over me, yet when opportunity presents itself, you cower in the corner like a scolded dog because of your first kill! Have you gone weak?! Will you ever have the stomach for war?! I saw a month ago, you fought with such skill and there was a fire that could be seen in your different colored eyes. Where is that fire, brother? Huh? By fucking Mars, where the fuck is it?! You will be a general one day; we will be generals one day, in charge of our own legions! You must toughen up now if you believe you can inherit this legion! Because if you will not step up to meet Father's expectation; then I swear to you Vitus, that I will come from underneath you and scoop your opportunity from you!"

The ultimatum was given. It was pretty clear to Vitus. He could not dwell on what he has done and instead must move further, or see the loyalty that he worked so hard for with his father be destroyed. Proculus was right, this was war and numerous Roman proverbs dictated that nothing in war was ever kind or fair. His father had only done what many great Roman generals did in the past to obtain victory, it was only natural. Their father knew it, his brother knew, even Vitus himself knew it. But why did it feel so wrong? In the end, was he going to have to conform to the Roman ideals, but lose his morals in the process?

At that pivotal moment, the tent flapped opened and Vitus saw the same long-haired man that was with Proculus earlier, entered his tent wearing Roman armor.

"Cassius! The Roman armor suits you well, you are almost as beautiful as I am," Proculus joked as he tossed his arm around Cassius' shoulder, "My father allowed you to stay?"

"He did, but he told me that we must commence some cavalry training and centurion style training if we both want to remain with the legion. Also, I am entailed to be your bodyguard."

"Such joyous news! And as to the training, that is fine, as long as we are here to make our marks in the legion," Proculus chuckled before turning to his younger brother. "Vitus, this man before you is the man who led me to the legion and saved my life, this man is Cassius."

Vitus eyed the man with curiosity. There was some unexplainable feeling that Vitus had that told him that this man was a good man, maybe it was because this man had an honest face. Vitus extended his hand and Cassius shook his hand with a humble smile.

"Greetings Vitus, I am Cassius. Your brother told me a lot about you," Cassius politely introduced himself

"I wonder what he told you." Vitus playfully joked.

"Nothing short of how gifted you are," Cassius said, staring blankly into Vitus' eyes without thinking.

"Well I guess that my brother forgot to tell you about my colorful eyes, am I right, Cassius?" Vitus smirked, catching on to what Cassius was staring at.

"Oh-I-I-I…apologies, I did not mean to wrong you with my thoughtless gaze," Cassius stammered as his flustered face lit up.

"It is fine, Cassius. I am used to it."

"I also apologize that I did not tell you this, Cassius," Proculus spoke up, "But come Cassius, the hour is late and we must rest. Let us move to the edge of this tent and have one of the soldiers provided us with bunks to rest."

"Wait, Father commanded that you sleep in my tent as well?" Vitus asked.

"Of course, where else would a Commander sleep?" Proculus said with a smirk before turning to his new bodyguard, "Come now, we must decide what part of the tent is yours, Cassius."


Day 19 of the Campaign

The Twenty-Eighth Legion was moving throughout the land with a new sense of morale after the extermination of their enemies. And at the head of this revitalized legion was Proculus who rode on top of his stallion, Remus, with pride that he was finally on a campaign. To his side was his father, who traded occasional glances with his eldest son, thinking if it was wise accepting Proculus to travel with them. Lucius then turned his eyes on Vitus, surprised that he had finally stopped brooding about yesterday, not knowing that it was because of Proculus who snapped Vitus out of his self-pity. Vitus realized that his whining and moping around would not bring the dead chieftain back or restore the razed village to its former glory. The pain was still there, but Vitus buried it somewhere in his soul. He knew that turning his pain on his fellow Romans would only be detrimental in the campaign, he must now focus it on the barbarians that truly deserve it; the Germanians that manipulated the entire massacre. But unbeknownst to the Romans, their enemy was already meeting in secret.

Located 35 miles from Samarobriva, existed the Meeting Hall of the Montius, where old warriors passed on their traditions and knowledge to younger warriors. The Hall itself was Gallic in origin, being built by the Gallic king of old, Montius, who had united the tribes into one collective kingdom. The Hall was hidden in the colossal forest of Arduinna, to cease any effort from spies to see it from the mountains; and to also hide its men. But at this Hall at the moment, was an entire Germanic army of over 9,000 warriors who were lying in wait surrounding the Hall, for inside was their king, Cunovindus the Butcher.

Cunovindus was sitting inside the massive Hall behind a large circular wooden table with his contingent of bodyguards standing behind him. On the opposite side of the table was sitting the Brittonic king, Lugotorix the Bloodyhanded, with his own contingent of bodyguards behind him. Both kings eyed each other with foul distrust and annoyance as they remain sitting, waiting for the last barbarian king to arrive. At that most tense moment, the Gallic king, Segovax, emerged from the shadows and approached the table and sat down between the two barbarian kings. Cunovindus leered at his fellow barbarians and scoffed in their barbaric language, "Now that we are all here, let us speak on how we will destroy this Roman army led by Lucius Julius the Mighty."


The three barbarian kings meet! The next chapter will be focused on them.

Once again, I like to thank everyone who is continually reading this fic and note that it is keeping me committed to the story.
