Amenhotep7
Spartiate
Ortorix woke up, groggilly getting out of bed. That triumphant march was absolutely SPECTACULAR! The Druids proclaimed it the beginning of a new age, an age in which Alesia is supreme!
Unfortunately, the war left the country bankrupt. The military spending was great. But Ortorix was an optimist! The income gained from this conquest would be huge! And in a few years the military spending could resume.
Ortorix attended the religous services by the druids. He needed to plan his next move, and perhaps seeking the solace of the Gods could help him.
The Arch Druid Baravax spoke. "O men of knowledge! Today we must interpret the signs from above, and the will of the Gods be known. Even if one among us today is not a man of knowledge."
The Arch Druid raised his staff in the air, and looked at the stars, as the other druids, one from each tribal city-state (even the colonies) slowly walked in a circle around him, chanting: "Rix dona adrax matias onios." Meaning: Rix, we implore you to give us a sign.
A comet flew across the sky. The druids, though incredibly excited, were able to restrain themselves, and kept up the pace and the chant.
"Ah. So both the great hope and the great fear has come, men of knowledge! For a comet, when flying to the south, can only mean that with a great victory comes a great price, druids." The Arch Druid seemed to become entranced. "Great Chieftain, druids, follow to the looking-pool!"
The looking pool was an undisturbed pond in a clearing just 100 yards from the clearing they already were in. Most of the time the trees sheltered from the wind, so the pond's waters were undisturbed alot, making it seem as a mirror.
"Son of the Wolf and the Bear, I implore you to look into the looking-pool, for I have suspicions that the comet involves you, great and noble King," said the Arch Druid.
Ortorix looked and saw a vision. Ortorix was upon a great hill, in a Great Hall looking over a grander city. But as he was standing on the balcony, ravens came upon him. They began to devour him. But he saw, that emerging from the palace as he lay on to balcony another king. His son, no doubt.
He saw far and wide, his son, or whoever this new king of Alesia is, conquer many lands, and Alesia's might is uncontested. He saw into the next age, beyond the age they are in now.
Ortorix looked up from the pool, and the Arch Druid took him aside, to discuss what he saw in private.
Orders and More Story Coming Soon!

My secret is, ofcourse, slavery! Now, for the first time, all the Mitsarian young men can leave the farming to slaves and go to kill some people all around us and get some more slaves, and so on, and so on!
