All of a sudden four spears were pointed towards Daphne. She got up at an instant, although not having any weapon at all, nothing to defend herself with. She had no idea what to do, how to react to this attack to try and figure this situation to cause no more trouble. She did not know what these men wanted, who they were, up to now no one had explained her. Neither did she know what these men planned with them, her family, if they now would kill them, take them as prisoners, or simply robb them.
Daphne had noticed Marcus' and Lucius gazes, she did not know what they meant, but felt that at least one of them knew who these men were. "Lucius, who are they?"

"Ha, unknown and shocked. What a sight of pleasure."Leonius said with an evil smile, it surely pleased him to see his enemies captured by his sudden attack. Even some had tried to resist, but succeeded not. Marcus were held tight onto as he already had killed one of the soldiers, while the rest of those taken captive were silent and afraid. With a cheeky look, he watched the females that looked beautiful. However as Daphne spoke in confusion, he moved over to her."I am Leonius, king of Etruscan. And your roman friends, took my sister in prison. I have come to revenge her, but also to free her from your brutal manner."He said in anger, cause Romans he hated a lot. As he turned away from the Athenian queen, he made a decision that forever would change the future. With his back turned on them, he spoke on."Take the females to my home, wound the men and lock them up inside this tent."
In fury Leonius turned to look at them, as the soldiers he brought did like ordered. With force they brought Daphne and Felicita outside, while Lucius and Marcus were linked together in chains by the stick who held the tent up."Until my sister is free from your barbarism, I will keep your women and use them as I please."He spoke with angered words, but as it all were done he leaved together with his soldiers and captives.

For a moment Marcus closed his eyes not to concentrated in the pain but he soon looked into Felicita's eyes, she was a strong Greek woman, as well as Queen Daphne and for a moment, as their eyes met, he told her with his eyes that she should defend herself with the honour of her race, that she should not fear a man for hell hath no fury like a scorned woman. Marcus knew she would not let this Etruscan ruin her hopes and lie itself, if only Maruis was here, but perhaps that would only make matters worse.
Like the man he was he would not flinch nor complain to anything he could get to feel concerning pain or torment. For he also knew there was still Greek blood in some Romans that came to be after Troy's war. He knew Lucius was strong, he then turned to look at Leonius and then said sharply, "you will have the wrath of more than two nations against your home if you dare hurt the Greek Queen." He did not care if Leonius gave importance or not to his comment but if he could he would give his sister back, but he knew not where she could be.

(Actually I think I just end the thread here, don't really know what else to post then Lucius gets free and helps Marcus as they escape back to Rome with the Athenian survivors. So I stop this thread and we continue with the rest.)
