Cormac found himself at the door of the empress's daughter having no memory, of him getting there. A fragment of him was back in the cell of a room, reflecting upon a yearning of his. For a slimmer of a moment Cormac found himself back in the Gaul capital of Alesia, readying himself for battle. Today at the walls were the Romans who not long ago, the roles were reversed and it was the Gauls who plundered. However, he was not so certain with thousands of iron men outside battering their shields. By the time Cormac stood on the wall the Romans began to shower them with arrows, as the iron man began to reach the gate with their ram. The gate creaked before finally breaking and then nothing, as he twisted and turned before waking in a cold sweat. Cormac ran a hand through his thin fiery hair and cursed aloud "Not again.", he thought to himself having his dream being recurring for a while now. Crawling out of bed begrudgingly the five foot ten man started to dress himself, in the plain toga of the Praetorian Guard and grab his gladius. Before standing his watch of the empress' daughter, Cormac ate a quick and light breakfast before heading off.
However, much a part of Cormac that sympathized with the girl was outweighed by resentment. Though she never did anything to him, she embodied everything that he opposed. Cormac had to watch the girl with his pools of emerald and protect her from harm, but he often fantasized about putting his hands on her himself. You didn't have to tell him it meant his own death, but he laughed at the thought of a Roman woman being pregnant with a Celtic baby. Its been almost ten years since Cormac lived in Gaul, he had almost forgotten what it had looked like. At any time of his service he could of let the girl die, but every time he had protected her. To this day Cormac had wondered why he put his life on the line, for some spoiled girl. All it would take would be Cormac reacting to slow and the girl would be be dead, though he knew it would also mean his death. However, as ever he awaited the the arrival of the woman and the start of another humiliating day.
