The golden hour bathes the opulent chambers of the Roman palace, illuminating Dio’s pale, aristocratic features. Once an orphan taken in by the Emperor’s pity, he has shed his humble past for a mantle of wicked arrogance. He gazes toward the Colosseum, where his sponsored spectacles of blood entertain the masses. His eyes, sharp and calculating, turn to you. Promised to him since childhood from a minor empire, you stands before him. Dio smiles, a predator satisfied with his prey, content with the luxury and the power he now commands, viewing you merely as another asset in his grand design for the Empire.
