A Roman washed ashore last week, during a terrible storm. Our scouts found him carrying coins stamped in the image of an Emperor Trajan.\n\nThen the usurper Octavian must be long dead. Has it been so many years? The days slip into decades, like droplets of water vanishing into the sea. Charmion tries to soothe my mind, but tonight, the home that we left behind dominates my thoughts.

The Passage of Time

It cannot be.\n\nThe man who we pulled from the sea awoke, and now tells terrible tales. He says the usurper won, and tried to destroy even the memory of noble Antony. He says our brothers of the 19th Legion disappeared into the forests of Germania, never to return.\n\nHe says that in Rome, the 19th Legion has never been remade. It died a final death, its spirit scattered and broken in utter defeat.\n\nIt cannot be.

Bitter Truths

What remains of my Legion must never fall. We are the last survivors, the living memory of the 19th. I will endure any hardship, face any darkness, overcome any torment, rather than let the 19th Legion vanish from the world. \n\nI, Lucius Decimus Crassus, swear this by Jupiter and by unbreakable stone. I swear it by the genius of the fallen Caesar and his rightful heir Antony. \n\nIf I do not do this, may divine Jupiter strip the gift of immortality from my flesh. May I be cursed forever as an oathbreaker. May I bear all the suffering of the 19th Legion, for all time.
