Ok this is my first post as well as my first story. I also lost the file on the game so no photos. Sorry


Slash Augustus Ceaser woke up with a jolt, he had been having a nightmare. In his dream he had seen giant mushroom clouds wiping out everything in its path. Shaking his head to wake himself up Slash looked at his arm." DAM IT!!!" he said. His arm was perfectly healed from the spear that struck him as he fight the barbarian forces constantly attacking his homecity of Rome. Eversince he was little Slashe's wounds would mysteriously heal overnight and wounds that should have killed him did not affect him in any way. He remembered the time when he was 12, he went looking for bird eggs to eat and as he climbed a tree the limb he held snapped and he landed on his neck. What should have been instant death just resulted in his neck bending at a severe angle and then returning to place as if his neck was a piece of flexible wood they used for bows down by the fletchers. He didnt worry about death now and that led to him being one of the most efficient soldiers in the 1st Warrior legion. (They didnt no that if he could die, he would have been dead at least 43 times.) Talk among the elders of the tribe said Chief Appius was stepping down as chief. He was a wise leader but he was old, the Elders wanted someone new and fresh to lead. They wanted to lead as a body where someone elected to them to they position and they voted for the laws they wanted. Slash laughed at this idea, how can those old doddering fools agree on anything that kind of goverment could never get one thing done. What they needed was some kind of leader one who lasted forever, one with brainpower, one who had tested the battlefields. Hmmmmmmmmmm?

Slash jumped up startled, as the deer he attempted to hunt scampered off into the brush. "Sorry to startle you, Sir" the messenger huffed. "The council demands to see you." he said. "What now" General Ceaser wondered. He unit just got back from the battlefields in the Greek deserts and didnt need a inquiry from the Council right now. "I think its something good." assured the messenger. "I hope so." he said as he saddled on his horse. The forest faded away as Rome loomed into view. The large and crowded city was the capital and largest city of the small and fragile empire was bustling at this time of day. Evening was when the peasents returned from the farms and mines. They had to clear for a high ranking General in the Roman Empire so he made good time reaching the Senate office. The Elders constantly changed with time so no one figured General Ceaser was the same person who was first there when the then new Chief Romulus decided to settle. Slash was a top choice until they claimed he had killed the first first Chief, this was a lie of course but Slash had no alibi becuase he was at home alone. He had known that people in the tribe wanted to stop him from being Chief and they had succeeded in that. He was such a hero to his people that they had spared him but banished him from Rome forever. He realized that he stopped aging at 25 so he waited untill a few generations had died out and returned. Of course no one recognized him, the one who were alive at the banishment were little babies back then and didn't even remember the trial. He returned and joined the military, this time with skills from old service time and surviving in the wilderness from his banishment. He quickly dominated in the battlefields leading a victory in Sparta, The second largest city in the Greek Empire. He was now a General in the Elite 7th Horseman Unit. He was looked upon as a hero inside the weak empire of Rome. Rome wasn't doing well, the treasury was losing money, although they won at Sparta they were losing skirmishes all over Rome and Greek trerritory. They were barly holding Sparta and getting troops there across the poor infastracture of Rome was costly. "You may enter" the desk assistant said not looking from his gigantis stack of paperwork. He entered the chamber and looked, he had never seen the senate full except for the most important decisions. He saluted and stood in parade form. "At ease." said High Chanceller Chief of Rome Leonius. Chief Leonius stood up "General Slash Augustus Ceaser of the 7th Horseman Unit".
"Yes your lordship, do you know I plan to step down General." he said quite camly. "No your Highness, I am genuinely surprised by this" " Well the Senate thinks its time for a change, they do not like they way things are going."
"I am sorry to hear this Chanceller" Slash said. "General do you like the way things are being run around here" "I follow orders without question Sir"
"Well the Senate will like that, thats why I offered them my nomimnation. You" "I am gratefull Sir" Yes here was my chance after all these years. " I hope to remain your advisor with your permission if you get elected."
"The Senate are deciding now you will here the finale desicion." Leonuis said.
"General step foward." All in favor of making General Slash Augustus Ceaser High Chanceller Chief of Rome. The majority of the Senate raised thier hands. All agaist, the rest raised thier hands. Ok a decision has been made, as of now Chief Leonuis steps down. General Slash Augustus Ceaser step foward and raise your right hand. Do you swear to honor and serve the Senate and Rome and all its of its laws. I do. Do you swear to defend against all of Rome's enemys. I do. Then your new title is High Chanceller Chief of Rome Emperor Ceaser. ok get on with it, I have things to do. The official ceremony is tommorow as well as the crowning.
