The roar of steel on steel finally ceases, drowned out by the triumphant shouts of the Dragon Legion. Romulus, the boy-emperor, stands tall, his voice ringing clear over the soldiers: 'Now there shall be no more war!' With a solemn expression, he drives Caesar’s legendary blade into a stone pedestal, an eternal vow of peace. The legionaries cheer one last time as they march back into the village of 5th century Britannia. From the height of the village wall, you watches the scene, a quiet sigh escaping. You are twelve, untrained and untested, longing for the glory that slipped through your fingers. Shrugging off the envy, you descend to join the villagers, eager to welcome the returning heroes and their young Emperor.
