Chapter 3

While Rashidus remained in the hostel in the Kingdom Bohemia, in Olisipo there's an investigation going on. From a local detention centre several convicts escaped. The governor arrived after a call from the Major of the city. The importance of this case is because the convicts were Roman officers who betrayed the Empire and killed several comrads during a battle in Africa.

The Senate of Rome didn't have any governance upon Lusitania, but the Emperor appointed the governor and several majors [assisted with some soldiers] to maintain peace and order in the area.

At the same time a report arrived concerning the Hebrew Juanus, whom led a criminal syndicate from Ossónaba.  He was residing in Eblana, the Capital of the jure Province Hibernia. This made it difficult for the prosecutors to persue an arrest warrant for him. Hibernia is claimed by Rome as a part of the Empire, but they only have two Greek cities in which they have embassies. The Kings of Britain also didn't want to get involved with the search for a foreign fugitive. They thought this might increase the influencce of the Empire in their lands - something they didn't want to happen at all costs.

'What about that nephew of Juanus?' the governor informs 'What happened to him?'
'He was last seen in Brigantium. The hostel said that he sailed towards the Rhine-river.'
'The Rhine?...' the comitee was confused 'Where is he going?'
The governor couldn't send the report to Rome that they couldn't find the militairy convict and that they couldn't find the Hebrew criminal either...... this would be a shame and it might cost him his career. And he has been through very much to be at this place.

'Sir, what shall we do?' ..
'Make a report to whole Lusitania and Terraconensis concerning those convicts and if there's any news concerning Juanus and his nephew.. let me know. Send some spies to Eblana to find out about his abiding.'
'And that guy from Olisipo?'
'Leave him in peace and don't bother his parents nor his brothers and sisters. I don't want any trouble during my term.'

The next morning in Bohemia..

Rashidus woke up and notices that the hostel is empty.
'Where is everyone?'.
He can't find anyone. He senses that something isn't right around here.
'Man.. why didn't I learn the Germanic language before coming here? Maybe it was better to remain in Olisipo...  but wait.. .no..   I don't ever want to return there.. to those negative people. I'm glad I'm far away now. Even if I return to Lusitania, I'll settle at Portus Calle.. or at the spring of the Darius River..... near the border with Terraconensis..'

While the Hebrew is thinking about his next move he feels that a presence has entered the room. However, there's nobody here. He immidiately knows that it's a spirit.....
