The Shadow of Lyon

By Virgil Cain

Following the decision of his father, the ruthless Frankish warlord Flavius Bauto, to betray Emperor Gratian in favor of the youthful Emperor Valentinian II, the talented Frankish General Flavius Arbogast was believed throughout Western Rome be a traitor to Gratian as well. In time, doubts as to his trustworthiness would quiet and his loyalty to Gratian would become unquestioned. Indeed, it would become the bane of his existence. For if a man gives too much of himself, what has he left? Even in pursuit of a worthy cause, one must save something of themselves, lest they be devoured by their desires. A talented military strategist born of a family of Frankish generals known throughout the West for their skill in combat, the future for Arbogast had been boundless. If not for the burden of loyalty, the world might have been his to rule.
