The Last Legion Page #4

head back to Rome,

An assassin sent to kill Lord Odoacer.

(Quietly) Go.

Uhn! Aah!

Get him!

(Yells)

(Blades ring)

(Horse whinnies)

(Yelling)

Uhn!

(Swords clanging)

Ambrosinus...

I want to be with them.

I want to be with my mother and father.

You are with them.

They live on in your heart.

You cannot see them,

But it's as if you're in one

room and they're in the next.

I should have died, too.

Not your destiny.

I have no destiny.

Every living creature has

a destiny, be sure of it.

But when the pathway gets dark and

it's difficult to see the way...

Well...

That's why you have me...

For all that I'm worth.

(Raven crowing)

Dumb bird. Forgot to feed it.

Pugie. Pugie!

I knew it.

I knew it was a trick!

Shh.

ROMULUS:
Is this our destiny,

To be prisoners here for

the rest of our lives?

AMBROSINUS:
Have faith.

There is a purpose behind all things.

- (Chuffling)

- Where is he now?

No sign of the Goths.

But we should stay close to the river.

The river, yes.

They'll have scouts all the way.

- Agreed, so

we-- - Mira.

Yes.

What?

My name. Mira.

There's your boat.

How d'you want to do this?

If we all go down there,

we'll scare him off.

He'll be gone before we get there.

Wait here.

He's a woman.

Uhn!

AMBROSINUS:
This fortress

was built as a palace

By the great emperor

Tiberius, who, it is written,

Was a man of great

dignity and bearing--

Both of which you've inherited.

So my ancestors built my prison.

A prison it is.

You thirsty, boy, hmm?

Go on, drink.

Mm?

(Spits) Drink.

You dare insult me, boy! Huh!?

It is a long way down, no?

How many fingers will

it take you to learn

Your fate lies in the

palm of this child's hand,

As sure as Odoacer is your master.

Throw this boy to the

rocks, you will follow.

When the time comes, boy,

I will send you to join

your mother and your father.

You.

Odoacer said nothing of you.

String him up!

Hold.

What is this?

Are you some kind of priest?

A sorcerer?

Just a seeker after the truth.

You would never understand.

Put him up.

(Grunts)

(Wulfila laughs)

How long is it to climb to the top?

BATIATUS:
An hour. Faster coming down.

Take up all the wood

we can spare. And rope.

You stay on the boat.

- You may need me.

- No.

The pentangle!

Of course, of course, of course!

This is the place.

The sword! Tiberius must

have brought it here.

And the boy will find it!

Romulus!

Ambrosinus?

Go to the temple.

Look for your ancestor, Julius Caesar.

There is something he guards for you.

Look under the gaze of Caesar!

ROMULUS:
Under the gaze of Caesar.

I told you to stay on the boat.

You will need my help.

You know what happens to a soldier
