Their commander is young, this Roman that leads them. Lancelot gets only a glimpse of him as the Sarmatians are turned over. Lancelot thinks he cannot be in charge, but the ones that ride with him show him a respect reserved for great leaders. How has this soldier gained the respect of Lancelot's countrymen? As they ride over the rise and fall of unfamiliar lands Lancelot longs for home, where young Roman soldiers do not fill his head with questions.
Arthur rides ahead and does not think of new charges with sharp dark eyes shining in a weary dust-covered face.
