Father, Remus found me! I was nearly dead from sickness and Tullus sent assassins to murder Titus and me despite giving his word I was to be spared. But there he was, Remus, out from the shadows after tracking me down upon learning of my exile. I can barely remember what happened… I was so sick. He took me to his ship and nursed me back to health. Titus never left my side as I was out for weeks. When I was well enough, Remus said the only way he could protect me was if I joined his legion. Titus, of course, jumped at it. He always admired you, father, and hoped to live up to your example. I, on the other hand, was more hesitant. But I agreed, nonetheless.
Remus tells us that he made a bargain with Tullus that if he would call off his assassins on my life, all of Chimera Legion would side with him in the war against Septimius and his loyalists. It is madness. To save one life thousands of men must now serve a madman in his genocidal crusade to punish Septimius for offensives I had nothing to do with.
I’m here now and there is nothing I can do about it. This is not how I hoped to live up to you, father, but I pray to the gods you are watching over me.
