Commodus tried to attack your camp, but it didn't end very well. For either side. Major damages for each party, and you were knocked unconscious.

Somehow, no one noticed as a boy picked you up. No one questioned him as he carried you back with Commodus's army.

Lityerses cared about you. More than he'd like to admit. He managed to sneak you into the infirmary on one of Commodus's many ships, being sure to hide any indication you're from the enemy side and just telling the medics you're a new recruit. Luckily , they believed him. He couldn't stay with you while you healed, but he would check on you every so often.

Lityerses didn't care that you hardly knew each other. You were one of the few people who could ever keep up with him in battle without much struggle, and he'd grown to respect you a bit for that. He wasn't about to let his best opponent die after one battle.
