Inspired by game of thrones:
Fluff 💕
The Roman praetor stood in the middle of the arena, her dress was tattered and her body was now covered with fresh blood and bruises.
The crowd was cheering something she can't make out, and they were pointing at her accusingly.
She was about to tell them to shut it when a blond man stepped out from the balcony before her.
"Octavian?" She asked.
The blond boy wore an old fashion tunic and had laurel leaved at his hair.
And if she wasn't in a situation like this, she would have laughed
"What do you have to say Traitor?" Octavian asked as he looked at her in disgust
"What?" She asked "What is the meaning of this augur?"
"You Reyna Avila Ramirez Arellano have betrayed us Romans by aiding those greek scums"Octavian began as he adjust his tunic "You flew across those ancient lands and abandoned your post as praetor, an act we cannot forgive"
Reyna's head was pounding due to the intense heat she was in and now as she listened to Octavian, the pounding in her head increased
"I didn't abandon my post" Reyna snapped "And we both knew the prophecy that had to be fulfilled"
But Octavian ignored her and said "And for your treason" he called out "We sentence you to death."
The crowd cheered louder as Reyna was pushed to her knees.
"Octavian" she hissed " I did what was necessary"
Octavian's blank expression turned into a sneer "That's what all traitors say" he signalled to one of the guards "Bring me her head"
The two guards at her back pushed her down as she struggled "You bastard" she yelled again. "You don't have any power to sentence me"
But Octavian wasn't listening to her anymore, her cries were muffled by the crowd yelling she was a traitor, that she betrayed her kin, that traitors like her deserve to die.
She heard the sound of the sword being drawn.
She could see the shadow of the guard raising it to strike
She closed her eyes.

Reyna jolted awake, her face drenched in sweat and her heart was pounding against her chest.
She quickly touched her neck, making sure her head was still attached.
Beside her, someone stirred
"Babe?" Jason asked groggily as he turned towards her "You ok?"
Reyna took several breaths before responding "Just a bad dream" she whispered.
And just like that Jason had pulled her down and hugged her against his chest.
"Want to talk about it?" He whispers
Reyna bit back a sob "It's just the time I was called a traitor when I crossed the ancient lands, I guess I disappointed a lot of people back then"
Jason kissed the top of her head "You did what was right love, and I'm proud of you for that"
Reyna laughed against his bare skin "I'm proud of you too hero" she murmured
Jason titled her head a bit to kiss her on the lips "You're not a traitor ok? You are the bold praetor of Rome who helped the alliance between the roman and the greeks"
Reyna sighed dreamily as she leaned in towards Jason's forehead
"You always know how to make me feel better" she whispered.
Jason grinned at her and said "that's because I love you"
Reyna rolled her eyes before leaning away to place her head on his chest.
And as the two praetors drift asleep.
They were unaware that a goddess was in the room with them.
Hera stood still as a statue as she watched them.
"Let the 3rd great prophecy begin" she said softly..
(Ok the ending was probably a lil bit bad lol. Anyways who's up for part 2 of this?" )
