Both were rescued from Capri by the loyal Aurelius and the last three legions, accompanied by a female agent of the Eastern Roman Empire - a Keralite Indian warrior named Mira (trained in the martial art Kalarippayattu). They take Romulus to a seaport where the Eastern Roman Empire messenger (Mira works for) and Senator Nestor have promised safe passage to Constantinople. However, they barely escaped after they learned of the Senate and the Eastern Empire have betrayed them and sided Odoacer.

After meeting with the Goths, both Vortgyn decided to capture or kill Romulus as a gesture to Odoacer. Aurelius, Caesar swung his sword, led some supporters of the troops at Hadrian's Wall Vortgyn.
