Scipio entered the Highblade's chamber and lifted his hand from his side.
"Hail Caesar!" Scipio declared as he kneeled in front of the Highblade.

"Stand," he ordered Scipio as he stood from his chair.

From the floor rose a table of a war map used in the mortal age.

"As you saw today, we had a horrible communication error and one scythe is dead. The other is MIA, assumed KIA untll found or confirmed. The populist blames it upon Scythe Lucifer, but we both know that's not true, as he went with Endura." The Highblade spoke as he removed two scythe pieces from the table. He pulled out a lighter from one of his pockets and set one of the pieces alight. "May you rest easy now, Scythe Lucia."

A Scythe walked into the room clad in a red and white robe. She walked behind Caesar and took the burnt remains of the piece and put them within a small box.

"Thank You, Scythe Diana." he said somberly.

"So, what is our next move?" Scipio asked as he watched Diana walk away with the small brown box with the Scythedom logo on it.

"We have Scythe Mercury currently en route to the Mid Merica Scythedom with a message for Overblade Goddard." Caesar replied.

"That message is?" Scipio asked.

"We are declining the ways of the New Guard and telling him politely to, screw off," Caesar said as the table folded up and went back under the floor.

Scipio stood there for a few moments before speaking again. "Is there any news of the Savage Teams yet?"

"Do not worry about them at this time Scipio. Keep your worries here in Rome for now," Caesar said as he waved Scipio off.

Dear Overblade Goddard of Mid Merica,

I High Blade Caesar politely decline your offer and do not agree with the New Blade ways. It goes against the way of the Scythedom and our ways. Any and All Mid Merican  Scythes are banned from Rome unless they have direct word from me. Any caught here will be rendered deadish and sent back to you.

-High Blade Caesar
