by GhostAlleyCat

As the Roman empire crumbles, young Romulus Augustus flees the city and embarks on a perilous voyage to Britain to track down a legion of supporters. It's a prequel to Beowulf: The Epic Tale.

Chapter 2: Fall of the Roman Empire:

Romulus' POV:

We all fought against the Goths. My parents were killed by Odoacer's lieutenant, Wulfila. I was then captured!

. . .

Odoacer is now founder of Italy. I refused to give him a third of that country, but now he owns all of it.

"And how are you," asks Odoacer.

"You won't get away with this," I said.

"It won't matter," says Odoacer, "because I plan to have you executed!"

"Please, spare him," says Anthonix.

"Very well," says Odoacer, "instead, I shall have you exiled to Capri!"

. . .

And so, I was sent to Capri, accompanied by Anthonix, with some guards surrounding us.

"What are we going to do," asks Anthonix.

"Don't worry," I said, "we're going to get out of this!"

We then managed to escape, and we ran.

"Cease them," says Wulfila.

. . .

We then arrived at a villa. "Come on," I said, "we might find some help!"
