A War To Remember:

                                 Battle in Philippi




A War To Remember:

  It all began in Philippi. Octavious, Antony, and all their forces waited for Brutus, Cassius, and all their forces to arrive. Soon a messenger finally arrived to report that Brutus, and Cassius had arrived. 

  " Octavious, you take the left side, I'll take the right." said Antony, But not wanting to follow what Antony had said Octavious insists upon taking the right side, while he take the left side. As Brutus, Cassius, and all their followers enter, the opposing generals began to confront each other in parley. Both sides immediately hurled insults at one another. Octavius then drew his sword and called for my death to be avenged; he then swore that he would not lay the sword down again until another Caesar (names himself) adds the deaths of the traitors to the general slaughter. The leaders insulted each other once more, before parting to ready their armies for battle. Once Antony and Octavious left, Brutus asked Lucillius if he could talk to him privately.Cassius then called Messala to do the same.Once finished, to find out if there were any recent omens, Cassius told his soldiers that it was his birthday. Some of the bad omens the sldier's said were that, there were two mighty eagles alighted on the foremost banners of their army and perched there, feeding from some of the soldier's hands. They also said that early in the morning they were all gone. Later ravens, crows, and other scavenger birds arrived circling over the troops as if the men were diseased and weak prey's. Once the soldier's finished, Cassius then walked back to join Brutus. Things began to get worse for Brutus and Cassius. Once on the battle field again, Cassius saw men retreating, Cassius then sends Titinius to ride toward the soldiers to see who they are. Once Titinius left Cassius told Pindaris to watch after Titinius. This is when things began to get worse for Cassius. As Pindaris watches Titinus, Pindaris reports to Cassius that he saw Titinius being shot by the soldiers. Once Cassius thought that it was all his fault that Titinius died, when he really didn't, Cassius told Pindaris to kill him by stabbing him with a knife. The truth was that Titinius did't get killed or captured, he was celebrating with Brutus because they had won the first battle. It was soon to late because Cassius had just died. Once Brutus had found out about Cassius's death he got angry and mad because he killed himself for no reason. Soon Brutus dies as well, due to losing in the battle. And at the end the victory goes to bth Octavious and Antony.
