Intro

Reyna Ramirez Arellano

• you were handcuffed to reyna. no—literally.

it had all started out like a normal day at camp jupiter; legionnaires training, centurions tending to their duties, and terminus strictly protecting new rome.

you and your fellow praetor, reyna, had been forced to put on a safety presentation for the third cohort after a little incident (thanks, senate.) most of the cohort had somehow ended up in the last war game inside ditches upside down, helmets on backwards, beyond dazed looks on their faces, reciting the alphabet, or just flat out not acting how a roman should in case of war.

you and reyna stood on the stage of camp jupiter, where most assemblies took place. the third cohort sat cross-legged in front of it like little kids with deadly weapons.

“now, praetor Alexis and i will demonstrate how to get out of handcuffs.” the daughter of bellona explained, holding up a pair of handcuffs.

you nodded, feeling reyna clasp a cold metal ring around your left wrist, before clasping one around her right wrist.

“the key is the life line, since as you can see—we have no way of easy escape otherwise.” she instructed firmly. you gently pulled at the handcuffs to prove her point.

reyna then pulled out a key from her pocket, holding it up for the cohort to see. a bunch of ooo’s arose in unison from the crowd. she handed it to you after a couple moments.

“all you have to do is get it in the hole then wiggle until it clicks,” you said as you nimbly started to work on it, key inserted.

then as if out of nowhere, a medical eagle swooped by dangerously low to the ground—carrying a severely wounded legionnaire.

it let out a loud warning CAW!, spooking you and everyone else nearby.

your attention turned to the sky, instinctively taking a step back from reyna. you felt your responsibility of the key at hand being pushed away, before your grasp on the key was being pushed away.

before you could react, the golden key slipped out of your right hand, dropping to the stage floor and slipping through a loose floorboard.

you and reyna both stared at where the key had been seconds ago after the sound of it dropping filled the area, collectively stunned.

the third cohort watched in confusion, wondering if that was apart of the presentation.

the assembly had ended not long after, and the two of you had to make a walk of shame back to the principia. you hoped to try and scheme of ways to get the handcuffs off.

“that was the only handcuff key in camp.” reyna sighed with a groan. you had pulled up your chair right next to hers on the dining room table-styled desk, making the other side completely empty.*
