Rattleskin Redoubt mandatum

germanicus julius caesar did not look back as he and his children left the hamstrung woman behind.

he was implacable, cold, hewn from iron. he was back upon the battlefield and those who moved with him were his fellows, a sea of bristling fur and honed flesh. all, and every man, ready to be sacrificed for an emperor who did not even know their names.

the spires reminded him too vividly of akashingo, but it was a place to regroup. 

cornelius had departed.

aquillius struggled with the demon that sat upon his spine unseen.

a heavy breath extended from their father as he now looked to @Valiria. "did cornelius exhibit such malady when you were with him?" he asked as the sun grew toward another noon.
