"So, you girls found something cool?" A voice came behind them. The team turn around to see Coco and Velvet stay there. So after a quake chat they told their friends about Storyteller. "Damn, that sound cool. Just not the blood-thirsty army." Coco said after the NCR.

After getting to RWBY's room. Weiss and Blake move to their beds so, Coco and Velvet can sit on their chairs.

FALLOUT Lore: Ch.7 – Caesar's Legion

A long time ago there was a saying "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" That made more sense back when every child in the country went to school five days a week and learned their history from a big room full of books. Of late it can be a mite hard to find a history book that hasn't been burned or rotted through, so it seems like the good folk of the wasteland are doomed to repeat a lot of history's mistakes.

Ruby thought of how sad it would be of Dr. Oobleck, he loves history. She has no dot in her mind he would love this series.

There's a certain man in Nevada who is deliberately repeating history's mistakes. Calls himself Caesar, spoken by his followers as Kaizar. He's not the first to go by either of those names. A good two thousand years ago the first Caesar ruled an empire on the other side of the world – that Caesar probably never even imagined that there was a whole continent over here full of new people to enslave.

Blake's eyes widen when hearing the name of Caesar and Kaizar. Caesar being Adam's father and Kaizar his older brother. She don't know where they are now, their both stronger then Adam would be.

Well, this new Caesar of the post-apocalyptic world is out to finish what the first one started. Rather than aiming to restore America to what it was in the days before the Great War, Caesar is forging a new nation, using the Roman Empire as some form of twisted inspiration.

*Caesar giving a speech to his soldiers*

"Okay, power hungry much." Coco said.

That's a funny idea for someone to get in their head, of course this Caesar had an unconventional upbringing. He was born in 2226 out West in the Boneyard, the ruins of what used to be Los Angeles. He didn't stay there long, his mother took him away when he was just a baby, and raised him with the Followers of the Apocalypse. Despite their name, these "Followers" aren't one of those doomsday cults, they're just a group of do-gooder intellectuals who try to preserve the knowledge of the old world.

"Cool." Blake said.

They also keep records about the present, so we know all there is to know about who Caesar was before he declared himself Emperor. He used to be a bright young man named Edward Sallow. He was chosen to go on a Followers expedition to study the tribespeople of the wasteland, and perhaps he was a little too intelligent and educated to be sent out among the savages. He viewed them with a mixture of sneering contempt, and misguided pity. He felt it was his duty to civilize them at any cost.

The at any cost gave a chill down their spines.

*Follower of the Apocalypse*

"Nice outfit." Coco said.

In a stroke of irony it turns out that those uncivilized lands had some books from before the war; books that weren't reduced to a pile of ash. Rare historical records, including an account of the original Caesar's war in Gaul. Sallow could have seen the history of Rome a warning about an empire that was doomed to fall. But, instead, he saw something of himself in Caesar, and decided to follow his example, even if it meant knowingly repeating the mistakes of the past.
