[Lucius Malfoy]

Caelinus rides into Messana and wonders why he was needed here.

[Dark Storm]

He is allowed into the great meeting hall, where the first few supporters are gathering

[Lucius Malfoy]

Caelinus enters, looking around the place...then stands there, waiting.

[Dark Storm]

He is approached by Gnaeus,

"Ave Caelinus, how was the journey?" he asked politely

[Lucius Malfoy]

It was...pleasant.

Caelinus looked at Gnaeus, keeping his distance for now.

[Dark Storm]

"As you can see we have set up an interim Senate, within Messana, before those against the republic are brought to justice." Gnaeus was saddened "I am sorry for your mother, Caelinus, as I am for all of us involved in this sorry affair."

[Lucius Malfoy]

"As you can see we have set up an interim Senate, within Messana, before those against the republic are brought to justice." Gnaeus was saddened "I am sorry for your mother, Caelinus, as I am for all of us involved in this sorry affair."

My father knew what would happen once he took that path...he does not care for damnation or salvation. My mother knew that he had to make a decision...and she died smiling. Now why was recalled from Sicilia and asked to come here?

Aulus arrives at the meeting hall.

[Dark Storm]

He is greeted by Consul Gnaeus "Ave Aulus, i am glad you could come."

[Magicman2051]

"I only came to save Roman lives."

[Dark Storm]

"I only came to save Roman lives."

Gnaeus nodded, "Continue, please."

My father knew what would happen once he took that path...he does not care for damnation or salvation. My mother knew that he had to make a decision...and she died smiling. Now why was recalled from Sicilia and asked to come here?

"We need able men to guide our legions, we lost many in the civil war to Severus, i now ask, could you become legate of my forces here. I know it would go against your father, however i trust you Caelinus."

[Magicman2051]

"This situation has gone on long enough and we risk much by allowing it to continue, is there no chance of peace left?"

[Lucius Malfoy]

I must decline the offer...though you trust me, Consul...others may not, due to my father. Though Lucius betrayed you and joined Severus, I shall not do the same to my father. I will only remain here to watch over my sister and nephew...but for now, I will decline your generous offer. I may reconsider later, but with the recent death of my mother, I do not feel I am stable enough to carry such a command.

[Dark Storm]

"I am afraid not, i fear. Not without many of us hanging, he left us with no choice, asking us to make him imperator over all forces, and if we didn't comply he'd attack."

[Dark Storm]

"That is fine Caelinus, I will ask a soldier to point you to my villa, where my family reside."

[Lucius Malfoy]

Caelinus nods and leaves for now...he wished to merely be alone at this moment. The young Regulus heads for an inn nearby and takes his rest there.

[Magicman2051]

"Have you tried a truly diplomatic solution?"

[Dark Storm]

"What diplomatic solution would you propose Aulus?"

[Magicman2051]

"If you press this issue all that is going to happen is more Roman dead, which doesn't serve either side. Ignore your pride and your ego, and just accept an amnesty with Fiber as Dictator."
