Three stuffed birds, a cow and a stuffed sheep doll had been placed on the temple floor in keeping with the difficulties of the past several months. Octavian learned that disappointment is like the state of the world, which is the same from day to day with little fluctuation.
Oh….maybe he could have been selected for a high position at Camp Jupiter by sacrificing a stuffed animal, but that disappeared with both hands like smoke in spite of that. It is the endeavor of different animals. Filling in different vacant positions They all reveal data deficiencies.
Additionally, the lack of signs could mean a message from the gods in Octavian's dream. He was flying high above the Republic. He was shocked, but in the end Octavian could only sigh. He put the knife back into its sheath and prepared himself for his other daily duties. Daytime Senate meetings sometimes involve long deliberations.
But a voice stopped him at the entrance to the temple. "You know, you should be grateful for your mind-reading skills."
Octavian looked for the source of the voice.
The voice laughed and continued. “You are likely to lose your position for your selfish prophecy.” The voice appeared to Octavian as a 17-year-old or 18-year-old teenage boy. He was not wearing any clothing. trousers, but he wore a robe similar to the Siton robes that the Grachus wore.
He also wears a cloak similar to Toga's robes, but with a scarlet jackal pattern. His hat and scarf became even more ridiculous.
Octavian sometimes thought that this man might have gotten his dress idea from Plato and also had those glasses and messy black hair... Octavian decided that once... Next there was an omen of prophecy, he should see the omen of death. He hoped for a quicker answer. It was like the other day when someone had conflicted with his interests.
The whole story of the gods Insight and rights
Octavian usually stood behind the young visitor turning to him. Octavian could clearly see on his face that he had what looked like a dirty, unshaven beard.
Maybe for one thing, what you were doing outside the temple was definitely dirty and reeked of blood and was dispelling who you were right now. Blood wasn't the problem. But the problem was that Mr. Octavian nodded slowly, thinking about who this guy was.
“I have learned my lesson from the past,” Octavian replied smugly. "however And who are you?”
“Of course you don't know,” said the visitor cheerfully. “I didn't want to come here.”
“Then what is your purpose in coming here?”
“If someone makes predictions for more than one day, I would be curious to know the nature of that. Divination can be done in many ways, whether it be from animal entrails, observing lightning, or flying birds,” the guest explained while leaning on the altar. That's what happened to Octavian. The visitor was no taller than himself and his fingers were shorter than himself.”
I have written a book on the nature of prophecy and it is your camp's successor.”
Octavian frowned, he knew the history and he knew there was another way. in forecasting It was a divination practice used by the indigenous people of the Italian peninsula before the birth of Rome. “Book or scroll?”
“It's both,” said the stranger, wagging his eyebrows. His eyes looked at the pile of stuffed animals. “Either live or survive. They cannot know about death.”
He frowned for a moment and held the sheep doll. “Also, your immediate future will be snatched away by an unexpected person.”
“Who are you to criticize my work?” Octavian shouted, snatching the sheep doll back.
“Takes [1],” the visitor finally said. “It's like a boss who works for the people, but works better.”
“Oh,” Octavian finally figured it out. That is the name of the oracle of Etruscan mythology[2]. “How did you become an Etrusian [3] and come to Camp Jupiter?”
"Oh...please," Takes said, looking him in the eyes. We rightfully owned the land in Italy before it was fences and the Tiber River. Including that forum, it was a swamp and we owned this place before Rome even existed. You guys even inherited some of the things.
Both the way of life and the gods.”
Takes paused if he had to explain, fearing that he would use too much power.
“Are you saying that we were patronized and modeled after the Etruscans even though Rome conquered Etruria? And are you coming to reclaim your rights?” Octavian sneered.
“No,” Tages corrected. “I came to satisfy my own curiosity and my friend to warn you.”
"For what"
“Do not be selfish for your own holiness. What I wrote and what everyone knows is prophetic, we use it for the state, for the people and for the future. But if you use it for yourself, the prophecy will definitely begin to decline and not boost your fortunes,” Tages explained.
“That's all you said.”
Takes nodded. “That's all I said.”
“Are you a prophet like that?”
“Yes,” said Takes, “but I really appreciate the fact that you have stopped using such cruel methods towards real animals at Camp Jupiter. Really, our residence should be able to use it. I should be able to use it.”
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
“Guess,” Tages said, disappearing before Octavian's eyes. There was no light or smoke, just an empty space where there had once been Tages.
Octavian wakes up. “Are you dreaming?”
Octavian looked back at the stuffed animals and put them all back on the altar and placed them in his dream, he felt he had missed some detail. Sometimes he couldn't imagine.
