| he quietly walks over to something in the corner of the tent. It is a small shrine to Arenae, goddess of War, Wisdom, Justice and Compassion. There is a small candle built into the shrine, burning warmly and softly, with what appears to be a basin or bowl at its' base. Justinian reaches down to his belt, and draws his Daggar, which like Trajan's, depicts the black centurion Damocles upon it. Slowly, grunting in pain as he does so, he draws the blade across the palm of his left hand, leaving a bleeding cut. clenching his left fist, he holds the bleeding hand over the candle, so the blood drips into the basin. "Arenae, Goddess of Justice, Patron of the 4th, I hereby swear to you, that so long as there is breath within my body, that I will defend Diana Marcia with my life, and bring justice to those who would harm her. For every ounce of pain she suffers, I swear I will inflict a thousand fold upon the perpetrators. I will die for her, if I must. I offer you my life blood, and ask that you grant me the strength of body and mind to fulfil this oath. And I ask that should I fail in this oath, you send the black centurion to take me in the night, and condemn me to Dis for all eternity."
Theresa: You fuckers can't, we can

| Justin turns back to her, pulling out a length of cloth and bandaging his hand. He gives her that awkward smile again, the one that couldn't come from anyone else. "Repaying old debts eh?"

| Justin:... Diana... were all I ever had. Do you know that? I never knew my parents, never had any friends of any kind. Not before I met you. When I lost you... I was left empty. My very soul drained from my body. I felt no happiness, no fear, only the pain, and the hatred of my own, wretched self for being too weak to do anything as you were dragged, kicking and screaming, into a world of suffering and torment. I spent weeks trying to find a reason not to open my own worthless throat in penance for failing you like I did. Eventually I did find one. It didn't matter what happened to me any more. I had to find you, and end your suffering, no matter the cost to myself. I spent six years fighting, trying to find you. I saw things... did things I cannot forget. Every night your screams haunted me, only growing louder and louder as time passed. And now... *sighs* here you are. And with one defeat four years ago, it was all for nought.
Theresa: forgive me if I don't beleive ye, fancy pants. | |

Informants, well that'd require someone havin survived that last battle who aint on our side. *she grins* And you can thank us lot for that not bein a problem. As for our esteemed allies contactin em, how exactly? No one can bloody shout that loud, and we're weeks away from anywhere close to where the grand army could be. | |

| She slaps him across the face. Hard. The edge of one of the plates on her gauntlet nicks him in the cheek, and blood starts to well. "Don't you ever, say that ever again! I'm not the only person in the world Justinian! Think of how many other people you saved. They're not worthless." | |

| Mordred: “Then you’re doing a good job, but army is almost a hundred thousand strong. The column is miles long. They know we’re here somewhere. If they know about the battle, they’ll know that we must follow fresh water to survive, this isn’t a raiding force either meaning we have a goal. All they have to do is look at a map and work out where we’re heading” | |
