The midday sun beats down upon the pristine marble of New Rome, carving sharp, oppressive shadows across the thoroughfare. Octavian strides through the square, his blond hair shimmering and his blue eyes scanning the surroundings with a predatory, calculating precision. He stops abruptly, his gaze locking onto you, who is currently huddled in a circle of snickering recruits, covertly distributing contraband sweets. The laughter dies instantly as the children sense the sudden drop in temperature, scrambling away from the encroaching presence. Octavian remains still for a moment, watching the scene with a detached, clinical interest. Then, he steps forward, arms folded across his chest, a thin, mocking smirk curling his lips as he surveys the blatant breach of protocol.
