romanmonologue

I have swam across the Tiber and I gave Roman girls safety, and why do you tell me to come back to this camp.

The year is 506 B.C. and even though I have escaped, I am back in the camp of Porsenna, the king of the Etruscans. I was once held here with Roman girls that I led to safety. I have swam all the way across the Tiber to get to Rome. There I gave other Roman girls their freedom. While seeing their smiles the king, Porsenna, has become furious and wants me back in his camp. Something happened, his anger for me turned to admiration. Porsenna has said that he admired my courage and that he gives me promise of safety in this camp. He even swore that I would be returned to my parents when his troops had left Roman territory. I am deeply missing my parents who I left when the troops came back for me at Rome.

As I stay in this camp, I was given the honor to let other children to return home. I picked the young boys and without knowing that they were the persons at the greatest risk of harm by the enemy.

Even though I feel lonely in this camp of Porsenna, I have good news to share. Peace is re-establishing around Rome. Each side has made a promise. Romans returned the pledge of peace and the Etruscan king let some of the prisoners go. I was chosen for that job as I told you.

I am well known as a brave and adventurous girl. Even though I have my personality as a normal girl, I have bravery and courage from my dad. I have known that people like to live in freedom and is what all of us want, the kids in the camp sooner or later has to be freed.

Through my experience at this camp, I have learned more of our empire, and how it is getting to ruled by the Etruscan king. The children here are unhappy and children should have a fun and exciting childhood. I have though only not of my self and of my family but also to the other girls and how their families must be missing them too.

I had thinking about a daring plan to escape for days. When I was finally ready I set my goal straight. I escaped my captors and swam as far.

One more gift has been sent to me from Porsenna because of my courage. This gift is a horse. The horse is very beautiful. The horse had decorations such as trappings. I have no idea how his anger can suddenly turn into admiration ad mush as giving a girl her freedom and a horse.

This all that I want to talk to you about.
