Imperium I [Video]
What insult to the republic, its consul kidnapped by foreign gods. Surely blessed Venus would be displeased to find her own lineage so unceremoniously disrupted and disrespected. [A pause as jade eyes, cold as glass and sharp in their disdain, regard his surroundings in displeasure] Barbarity.
No true Roman would bow to a god from beyond the Rhine, and nor shall I. [He moves to stand] But if I am expected to remain here, as it seems is the intention of these ...gods... then I should like to know if there is a library. A library or a forum should suffice, so long as lectures are held or scrolls are to be found.
[If he can not begin his machinations for Brutus and Cassius, at least he can bide his time with arming his mind to the task.
He then gives pause, straightening with pale brow furrowed, as if a thought has suddenly alighted upon his shoulder and distracted him momentarily from his great task of empire.]
Ah. I suppose it would be best I introduced myself...I am Gaius Octavian Caesar. Consul of Rome.

They are not my gods, though.

What gods do you answer to, if I might ask?

Though where I come from, some also worship the Old Gods, and the Lord of Light.

But the Lord of Light--
--those who follow him believe in murder, in burning children alive. [Or so he has heard.] Great, terrible things.

But purity is in a realm beyond what is human and in my experience those who speak of purity are those who wish to use it to their own benefit over others.

I can only hope that others in my world will continue to see that, as well.
And that those who follow her will come to their senses.
