Int. A roman Prison - night

Holeo walks through a long, gloomy corridor. He reaches the the end and he takes a torch on the wall; whispering quietly.

HOLEO

Father Olius!

Father Olius stands and walks closer to the light.

Father Olius

Yes, who are you?

HOLEO

It's me, Holeo!

FATHER OLIUS

What are you doing here, son?

HOLEO

There is no time to explain. We need to go out now.

Holeo opens the cell's door; Father Olius walks out.

HOLEO (CONT'D)

Where is the monk, father?

FATHER OLIUS

He was with me and they took him out. I don't know where he is.

They both run through the corridor and they see the monk lying on the ground covered in blood and ripped from clothes.

Holeo walks closer to the monk to examine his body.

HOLEO

TIAGNOS

Go fetch Solonius.

TIAGNOS

Tell him that we've changed our plan.

HOLEO

But Solonius is a stubborn man! He will corner me to tell him why.

Tiagnos turns to face Holeo as he looks agitated.

TIAGNOS

Tell him that you were given orders by me and you don't know anything.

HOLEO

Certainly.

TIAGNOS

Hurry now! We don't have much time to waste.

Holeo leaves the room, while Tiagnos walks inside and hits the table in front of him out of anger with his right fist and injures himself.

Int. solonius's house - day

A rooster crows from the back barn.

Solonius washes his face from a small wooden-made washbasin. He raises his head up to the sky, his eyes closed, as water drips from his face to his neck.

He walks along a narrow corridor and enters the kitchen.

He smiles to his wife UPHILIA, 30, slim; beautiful young woman with long frizzy black hair, while she looks busy preparing breakfast.

His son, ULIUS, 6, skinny, with long curly brownish hair, plays with a wooden sword in the kitchen.

Hard, continuous knocking from the front door of the house breaks their affable mood. Uphilia looks terrified and she holds her son.

UPHILIA

Who comes at this time?

SOLONIUS

I don't know! I will check that

    Casting a silencing spell mid battle was the riskiest thing I could have done during the peak of the Exalted War. Though this was the only unwavering chance I had at having the upper hand against the throne’s demigod challenger, Sahli; the destroyer of man and conqueror of southern lands. “You think that my father’s wizardry will work?” before tauntingly adding, “…against me, Evelyn?” Mockingly I smirked; instead focusing my life-force on just that.…

    The city of Split is inhuman because of the way they let the people live. Some human beings can do such horrific things because they are either on drugs, insane or have no compassion for others. The thing that makes a terrorist a Hitler or Hussein is the fact that they can kill people without feeling any remorse for what they have done at all. “The sports hall in Split reeked of sweat, not from athletes but from refugees” (Maass 473). This is not an ordinary time, there were people coming from different cities because of the war.…
