Part Three

Trāns flūmen aliī mīlitēs castra sub monte ulteriōre, locō idōneō, pōnēbant. Imperātor illīus legiōnis nōn erat īdem. Ille imperātor erat hostis. Prīmus imperātor ipse mīlitēs dē perīculō monēbat. Deinde legiōnem ad hostēs dūxit. Proelium erat dūrum et inīquum quod magna erat legiō prīmī imperātōris. Undique erat nix alta quod erat hiems. Per nivem altam iter facere nōn est facile. Hostēs legiōnem parvam habēbant. Ex duōbus mīlibus mīlitum circiter mīlle mīlitēs necātī sunt. Magna erat praeda. Reliquī hostēs, quī nōn vulnerātī sunt, per silvās collēsque properābant. Fuga eōrum erat grāta legiōnī magnae. In proeliō hostēs victī sunt. Post proelium imperātor magnae legiōnis, “Ō mīlitēs,” inquit, “auxiliō ipsōrum deōrum et virtūte vestrā vīcimus. Eādem virtūte gentem nostram per omnēs terrās nōtam faciēmus. Haec et aliās rēs imperātor dīxit et mīlitēs laetitiam sēnsērunt.

Diū Cassius spectābat. Iterum eāsdem pictūrās vīdit. Subitō erant nūllae pictūrae, et ubīque in aedificiō lūx erat clāra. Puer undique circumspectābat et ecce! nēmō vidēbātur, nam sōlus erat Cassius. Paene timidus erat. Ex aedificiō cucurrit. Iter puerī erat longum sed pater eum in viā exspectābat.
