Conclusion
The sun shines bright on the east of Rome, as it is March 15, 44 BCE. Decimus wakes early for the task he has at hand today. Decimus wakes, stretches and gets ready for the day. After a small breakfast, Decimus heads out to meet with Gaius Cassius Longinus, and Marcus Junius Brutus. The sun is strong in the Forum as they meet and discuss what task is at hand for today. Caesar is at the peak of his rise and fame, as the three of them see statues of Caesar, it only ignites the rage and hate for him. As they walk to the theatre of Pompey, Decimus’ hands are clammy, they smell of sweat and fear. Decimus had just bought a new slave with the money he received from Gaius and Marcus, he knows the job is a necessity for his family to be happy.
At the theatre, the three speak to Caesar quite casually. Deciumus brings up new road plans for Rome. He is nervous, sweat drips down his toga and his sandals are moist to the touch. Decimus peeks to his left as he sees Junius reveal a sharp dagger from his waist. The puncture was quick, the second even quicker. As Gaius takes his sharp dagger to Caesar’s neck, Decimus steps back in fear. Junius and Gaius look puzzled as Decimus steps back, and orders him to continue to stab him. The scene is bloody, the white marble is now a light pink gradient that fades to dark red. The line of blood falls down the stairs as a puddle of blood forms at the bottom. As the violent noise of slashing ends, the three look surprised. Junius raises his right hand to the other two and shakes each others hands. Decimus is baffled, and doesn’t believe what he did, the once father figure he looked up to is now dead. Every thing he did for Caesar is now invalid. As the three leave the theatre, the sun is setting in the west. The sky shines blood red at this time as the three begin their journeys back home.
