As she walked away he called out to her "You are right, I shall greatfully suffer under the Gods, no-one need forgive me for I shall never forgive myself" Sitting down on the fountains edge once more he hung his head in shame.

She stopped and turned slightly around to speak back. "The sending is at sunset... " slowly turning back around she continued to walk on. She knew that the prince would want him there ignorant of what he did. and Eliah will have to put up with him there, because of what Damitrious wanted. Walking around the corner of the garden a young lady came up to her. Bowing before quietly speaking. "The Empress would like to see you dear lady, though she will understand if you need more time" Eliah nodded and decide to follow.

Sunset was hours from now, he had ample time to avoid the royal party and drown his sorrows out with wine. An impure substance to fill an impure body, that holds an impure soul. He was of no use to his majesties empire, after the ceremony he will dissappear.

Arriving before the Empress in the script room, Eliah lowered herself to her, bowing her head. The middle aged woman signalled the girl to rise and placed her palms softly below her chin. "My dear child, how sorrow haunts your soul. It was a great loss and one that Rome will not forget." Eliah smiled slightly but the tears always followed it. The Empress wondered back over to the lounge and layed upon it with a sigh. Staying were she was, Eliah spoke with a frail to her voice. "I'm sorry i could not bring you the Empire you wanted" The Empress looked confused but then sat up properly upon the white lounge. "Oh my child, you have been the greatest gift to this family and you will become who you are set out to be" Eliah frowed a bit walking in front of the woman. "I'm sorry, i don't think i understand?" " We promised Rome a new rule with their Empire, a sucessful young start to the dominance of Romans." Fanning herself from the heat she looked towards Eliah and smiled. "it's what Rome and the Emperior wants" Eliah didn't like the way this was going, only hours ago did she find out her prince was dead, but now she was being told to marry another instead? "But i was to be married the 2nd full moon from now? I would of thought that it wouldn't apply because of Damitrious." The Empress stood from her chair and pointed her closed fan at the girl. "That name is not to be spoken in these walls anylonger my fair lady, for this is a new age." Frustrated and upset Eliah bowed quickyl and excuse herself from the empress presence, appalled by how quickly a she can be transfered from one man to another. The first born Prince was the only one which had no wifes of yet and had chosen her. HIs others brothers on the other hand who were not in line with the Empire did what they pleased.

After a while had passed Aloysius walked out of the garden and away from palace, down the narrow streets, freshly swept clean. The streets were silent, yet people still walked through them, heads hung low with smiles a far distance away. Coming to a stop outside of a tavern, he entered and order wine after wine after wine.

It was just about sunset and Eliah hid her face with a transparent satin that rested ontop of her head, Just cropping the edges of the face it falled past her traditional roman royality dress. Guided by the lady's of the house she left the palace to reach the sending at the eastern forest. There was the gods were worships in higher quantities and upon the lands gods have been claimed to have walked. Here the Prince's body will be let alight upon a tall wooden tower to release his soul up towards the gods, above Rome. Sunset represented to end of a day... the end of Damitrious's life.

By the time sunset was fast approaching, Aloysius was well and truely drowned in sorrow and unable to walk straight. Staggering his way through the streets, he arrive the top of the hill, with some difficulty, just as the ceremony was starting. Standing at the back he stood face turned down, painted with remorse.

The Priests began their prays inorder to let the prince have safe passage and those who cared for him, protected him and loved him to be able to remember him as more than the future Emperior of Rome. Eliah was very strong in holding back her tears until the Prince's body was lifted to the tower and began the burning. The priest's chanted again together, all eight of them as Dimitrious, holding his sword flat at his chest, layed ontop of the flame lit tower.

As the princes body was set to flames in a signal that the ceremony was over, Aloysius set off down the hill again, he did not wish to intrude on the meeting place between the Gods and earth for longer than neccessary. Swaggering his way back to the tacern he became lost several times making the journey twice as long.

Making her way back, Eliah didn't wont to spent anytime there rather than nessasary.. it was too hard. Though when she saw Aloysuis staggering all over the place without a clue of where he was going, Eliah felt almost sorry for him though abandond that thought and continued to make her way down the hill. Half way down she noticed him cross over in the same place and going back the same direction. Quickly now rushing down the hill picking up her robe to meet him down at the base before any other the others whould see him like this.

As he turned down the same road for the 3rd time, Aloysius gave up and collapsed against a building, rolling over onto his back, he gripped onto the wall to pull himself up again. Leaning against it for a moment his head began to spin and so attempted to get up once more, leaning overly forward once upright he head collided with the wall as he nealr tipped over, holding his hand to his head he walked backwards before falling over the curb and landing on his behind.

Eliah could see the others come down the hill and so she looked towards Aloysius who had made an spectical of himself by crashing his head into the wall. Casually walking over to him she stood above the drunk captian. " Your drunk.."

Swinging his head around to look up, he beheld the face of Eliah, he would of gotten to his feet and bowed, but his legs would not obey him, "I be honouring the God Bacchus, drinking wine on his behalf" As she appear none to please he lowered his head again, "I am seeking to drown myself in impure substances since I failed you"

She looked upon the mark on his head, and raised an eyebrow. "I hate you Captian.. though i don't abandon Romans." She didn't want to leave him to get himself hurt.. again. though the sight of him quivered her soul. She turned from him, noticing most of the group had head back to the palace. Her horse of white still awaiting her. "Get on the horse.."

Complying with her instruction, the captain managed to have enough control to make his way to the horse, standing next to it he swaggered to and fro for a moment before attempting to get his leg high enough to place his foot in the stirrup, after 4 failed attempts he managed to gain a foot fold before trying to get enough strength to position himself atop the animal. Leaning half way over the horse he slowly moved his leg over the horse rump to face forward, sitting partly up in the saddle he still had a sway about him.
