The sun bore down on a small patrol of raiders. All were wearing the standard raider garb, tires, harnesses, gas masks, leather, and anything that looks unpleasant. They were all sweating heavily in the scorching heat. A young man named Lloyd was the last one in the patrol, wearing a harness and leather pants. He wiped sweat from his brow, and looking across the empty desert he saw something.
A man, he saw a man. Not wanting to attract the attention of the man he motioned toward the rest of the patrol. They turned and looked towards the oblivious man, who was traveling along the road blissfully unaware of the group of raiders in front of him. John, the leader of the patrol pulled out a sniper rifle and aimed it cautiously at the traveling man.
Out of nowhere shots rang out along the canyon walls, echoing, fading away into oblivion. RAT TAT TAT. The patrol looked around, bewildered, as John fell to the ground, blood covering his torso.
RAT TAT TAT. More shots rang out leaving Harvey and Elisa lying dead on the ground, and leaving Lloyd alone, the traveler was also lying dead on the ground. Soon men dressed in legion armor flooded from both sides of the canyon, surrounding Lloyd, ten on each entrance.
One of the soldiers stepped forward, from behind Lloyd, and said, "Go to your raider camp, tell them, they will fall to Caesar's Legion!" His deep, commanding voice echoed throughout the canyon, sending chills down Lloyd's spine, despite the heat.
He had no choice but to comply, grudgingly he stepped forward, and the line of soldiers parted, letting him pass. He stepped out of the canyon and once again heard the chilling voice of the man.
"Don't even try to run we have men stationed everywhere."
Lloyd sighed hopelessly, he had no choice. But the chilling thought was, how would the rest of the camp react?
