The March for Rome

[vlad]

Legatus led his group Towrds Athens, the lonng road taking them longer because legatus wasent in any hurry to aid a city not under control of Rome, but because of the order from the Republic, and the forum of elders," Move ho Men, The sooner we get there we'll Get all The Atheaian whores the Roman Coin can afford.." That got the men running, for the ones who called Rome to the great War..

[Draco]

Draco stood under the shadow of a tree as he watch the group move in his direction. He had been in Rome following a rumor about the Children of Cain helping in the war. He had found that these rumors were true. " just a little closer" he mumbled to himself. Draco knew to hurt the Children he need to take out the man leading this group.

Legatus and his men walkedever closer to the uknown assassin waiting for them, There march increased in pace, do to there need for company of the night or day.. "Men Our weapons will feast on Persian Blood nights end, but for tonight Athens welcomes all the aid it needs from Rome!" Legatus shows his spear and yell harshly ," We ARE Cains Rightful Haires to The Thrown of this world, other will serve US." Legatus Ran ahead and throws his spear imapailing a deer on to the tree, it cries of pain and suffering loud even through the marching, Legatus walks over to the tree and rips the spear out of the tree and deer letting the blood fall onto his hand, laughing as he yells to his men," Leave it.. Athens has plenty of food.."

[Draco]

Draco saw the leader throw his spear and go after it. Draco knew that it was risky to attack in the day, but he couldnt take the chance of not having an opening again. There was no point in trying to use his hidden blade especially is he couldnt really see his target. " you wont be going to Athens." Draco said as he stepped out of the shadow with his long sword drawn.

[vlad]

Legatus smiled and said with a almost sarcastik tone," Oh? And common road merc's gonna Stop The master Of The roman Army?" Legatus had never seen a Assassin before so all he assumed this person was just ether a nut or some poor bastured asking to be cursified..," Well Master swordsmen Against my Spear, you wont get that close so let me give you a choice take your beatings and we let you life the life of a cripple, Or you can fight, I cripple you by cutting your shoulder blade then we crucify you.. and you die slow and pain filled death. Your choice of coarse.." Legatus waits his men laughing and yelling for blood..

[Draco]

Draco stook a step closer to the man, he wasnt going to let this man walk away. " no Child of Cain can stop me." He saw as he looked the man over and then looked back at the mans troops. Draco knew the hardest fight wasing going to be the group of men but their leader. " I'm here to stop you from going anywhere." Draco took another step closer to the man.

[vlad]

Legatus laughes and raises his spear," Alright I'll cripple you then Hang you from the cross." Legatus longues at his intended victume with great speed and strength, Trying to impale him to the tree next to the deer..

[Draco]

Draco was able to move out of the way of the spear, but not before it cut into his arm. " you bettder try harder then that to kill me Child, but lets see what you got." Draco said as he swung his sword at the man, as he came up with the rest of the spear. Draco hoped that this would finish off the man, so he culd save energy to fight off the man's troops.

[vlad]

Legatus' armor took the blow and his oppents sowrd tasted its steel and some of his exposed flesh, Legatus yelled in pain and ramed his shouilder into the opponet, and picks up his spear flipping hhis wrist as if to throw it..

[Draco]

Draco smiled when he heard his opponent yell, but was taken aback by the shoulder. The force of the attack pushed Draco back causing him to fall to the ground and drop his long sword. the secon draco got to on knee he already had his hidden blade out and ready to attack with it. " your really going to throw you spear at me." Draco said as he saw his opponents wrist. " then if you miss your going to be fighting a trained assassin weaponless." He said with a smirk on his face.

[vlad]

Legatus looked at assassin and then looks at the sun, Day was running short, and places hisspear down, yelling"We Dont havtime for this, Archers ready!" His men rose there bows and aimed them at The assassin, poised to strike, Legatus looked him in the eye his stare pircing, "One chance to go, We have a time sechdual.."

[Draco]

Draco looked at the archers, He knew that he couldnt fight off arrows. He stood up and grabbed his long sword and started to put it away, When he heard one the men behind him charged at him. When the man got closer to him, Draco truned face and sliced the mans throat before running off into the trees. As he ran Draco yelled back at the leader. " Child of Cain Retrun to Rome or get ready to meet my blade at Athens."

[vlad]

Legatus snorted in rage and disbelife, one of his soilders just attacked out of turn and made him look like a fool," I fight for Rome Assassin, I fight for peace" Legatus qiuckly raises his spear preparing his men to fire the arrows.

[Draco]

Draco stopped his run to face The man and his archers. " As an assassin I fight to kill you and the rest of the Children of Cain." Draco drew his sword, and was about to take a step forward but stopped He needed to be smart. " without me the order will fall." he said to himself and took a step back. " there is nothing for you in Athens Child, so retrun back to Rome."
