Caius hefted his travel bag a little higher on his shoulder and looked over at his friend Aulus. “Where do you think they expect us to go?”
Aulus shrugged. “I have family in Athens. They’ll take me in until I can find a new house. What about you?”
“I’ll have to go to Nicopolis. Who knows what sort of welcome I’ll have there.”
He looked back over his shoulder at the smoke rising up over the hills. “I can’t help but wonder one thing, Aulus.”
“What’s that?”
“How in the world did they convince the firebirds to help them out?”

Today's challenge was to write a piece of historical fiction. My choice was the title you see above. Poplifugia refers to an obscure event in history when the Romans had to flee in the face of an uprising. In my version of this event, I chose to add help for the usurpers in the form of mythological creatures.
