The Last Legion Page #5

Synopsis: Circa 460 A.D. Mira was born in a warrior-family in Kerala, India, was well versed in martial arts and self-defense, so much so that she was recruited by the Spanish royalty and re-located to Constantinople. From there she was instructed to assist Roman Commander Aurelius to plan the escape of 12-year old Romulus Augustus Caesar from a prison in Capri after his parents had been killed by the leader of the Alliance in turmoil-stricken Rome that has seen the deaths of five emperors in five years. Mira, Aurelius, and a Priest, Ambrosinius, along with a handful of loyal soldiers were successful in the escape plan and deliver Romulus to Roman Senator Nestor. What the crew do not realize is that their task is not over yet, for Nestor is all set to betray Romulus, leaving them with no alternative but to flee to Britannia, where they will be forced to confront a seemingly invincible Vortygn, whose main aim is to obtain a powerful sword that was meant for defense and defeat, and also ensure the

(Slices, groans)

And my father.

Aurelius?

Aurelius, stay.

Stay close.

You fought like a dragon.

And you fought like the son of a dragon.

(Groans)

You once swore to defend me.

Mm, to the last breath.

Have I discharged you from that oath?

Then live, Aurelius Antonius.

And all of you, the

last of my legions...

We won a great victory today.

And now I say...

No more blood.

No more war!

(Sword whooshes)

(Wind whistling)

And that was how the last of the

Romans found a home, here in Britannia,

And how, after years of turmoil,

they brought peace to the land.

What happened to the

commander, Aurelius?

Oh, he lived.

He took the warrior

maiden Mira for his wife.

And Romulus, the boy?

They raised him as their own son.

He grew to be a wise ruler.

He took a Celtic name,

"Son of a dragon."

Pendragon.

Pendragon. That's my father.

And you remember the

little girl, Ygraine?

He married her.

My mother?

And Ambrosinus took

back his real name.

Merlin.

You?

Merlin--It's

Arthur, Arthur, Arthur.

Have I ever lied to you?

Every day.

Hmm.

That's it.

That's where the lost

legion made their stand.

Great legends were made here.

With you as the hero.

Of course.

We need heroes, don't we?
