In life we go through pain and suffering, we face our fears, we triumph, we fall, we love and we hate, we gain and we lose; most of us just love. Cassius wants to pursue a dream which was not fulfilled, in fact his older brother Magnus didn't even get to see or even make his dream come true. Luckily Cassius is about to make that happen! I can't say that all dreams come true, but most of the time, we can only make a dream become reality when we choose to construct them.

GLADIATOR CURSE - Lucius Verus
His expression shifted, a storm of emotions flickering across his face. "Cassia... how long have you been planning this?" "Years," she admitted, her voice breaking. "Ever since Lydia passed, it's been harder and harder to stay. I love this village, I love everyone here-you most of all-but it feels like... like I'm suffocating." He stepped closer, his jaw tight. "So, that's it? You're just leaving? For how long?" She looked down, her fingers twisting the hem of her tunic. "I don't know. Maybe I'll come back, but not for a long time. I can't promise anything." Lucius's silence was louder than any words. She could see the hurt in his eyes, the way he clenched his fists as if trying to hold himself together. Finally, he spoke, his voice quieter than she'd ever heard it. "You don't want to leave, Cassia. Not really. You want to escape. There's a difference." "I know that," she snapped, her voice sharper than she intended. "But it doesn't change the fact that I need to go. I need to figure out who I am outside of this place." Lucius turned away, running a hand through his hair. "And what about us? What about everyone here who depends on you?" "I'm not abandoning anyone," she said, stepping closer. "Finn is stronger than he looks. Brutus and the others-this village is their home now, too. They'll protect it. And you... you don't need me, Lucius. You're strong enough without me." He turned back to her, his eyes blazing. "That's not the point, Cassia. It's not about needing you. It's about..." He trailed off, his voice catching.

Revival, Emperor Geta ✔︎
The roaring sound of the crowd drummed her ears as she sat in her seat, hands gripping the sides tightly as her eyes remained on the scene in front of her. What was once two men fighting was now one holding his blooded sword up in complete victory, a beaming smile on his face as those in the colosseum cheered more. She looked to her side, her husband to be with a blank expression on his face. His eyes remained locked in front of him, unamused as usual. She darted her eyes away from him, closing them quickly not wanting to look at the man to whom she was just an accessory too. But the sound seemed to simmer down, the feeling of someone staring at her ever growing on her senses, without thinking her eyes snapped towards the emperors who were sat in large chairs surrounded by the Praetorian guards. His eyes on hers. // After being sold away for a marriage between herself and a very much older member of the senate, Cecilia must find away to push forwards and reach the positives in her life that seemed to be drained away from her ever since she was sold away to live in Rome with a man she will not and does not love. But things begin to take a turn when a certain emperor makes his way present in her life, almost as if he lifted the positivity into her life.Complete
