Another highly speculative scene for eventual sequels to Adonis.
The character with perhaps the highest flat-out cool factor in the story is probably Morna. Morna is Aidan's little sister, born with a twisted leg and so utterly dismissed by Roman society for her disability. But she is utterly brilliant and within her burns a fierce desire to overthrow the system that has made her and so many like her into slaves, and she puts these things to work fomenting the revolution. I wanted her to seem as externally as helpless a person as possible, so as to contrast as strongly as possible with the fact that she is the most dangerous of them all.
This scene probably would not happen, at least not like this-- she is too valuable to be placed in such a vulnerable position --but I really like the idea of her asserting herself to her enemies of just how brilliant, and correspondingly dangerous to them, she is.
