The Battle

   Things are chaos so far. I have defeated Octavius troops but Cassius has been defeated by Antony's troops. So many things are going on at once, I feel like my head is spinning. Things aren't looking so good for our side. Before the battle began, Cassius and I had an important discussion about what we would do if we lost this battle. Cassius said he would commit suicide. I disagree with that discussion. It is very cowardly and vile to kill yourself because of your scared about what could happen. Whatever happens, I decided I would go with the gods have in store for me. I would most certainly not go back to Rome though. Today has to be the end of what occurred on 15th of March. I said farewell to my dear friend Cassius.

Philippi Battle
   I have just been informed by dear friend Cassius is dead. How is it that what we did to Caesar has resulted in more deaths than we started with? Should we even had killed Caesar? His death is really getting me to wonder if this was all worth it. I would rather has Caesar living than having everyone I know and love dead. The way Cassius died isn't right. He shouldn't have killed himself right away, he could of waited to see and notice that the crowd that took Titinius was actually our army. Not to be rude but covering his face wasn't so honorable, If I ever decided to commit suicide I wouldn't do it that way! But now I'm left alone, I don't want to lose faith. I keep encouraging my troops to keep their head high and keep fighting but deep inside, I'm starting to give up.
    How foolish is Antony'a side! I thought they
                   captured me! It was just one of my soldiers. I wonder what they would of done to me if it really was me. Lucilius knew that I was alive and defended me. That was a really brave move. Antony of course knew that it was not me because we talked before the battle and after Caesar's death.
    Before the battle began, Cassius and I spoke to Octavius and Antony. I knew this battle was going to happen but maybe Octavius and Antony would surrender but you know they did not. He was still very upset of what happened to Caesar, I mean it's understandable but he remembered and knew every detail that happened. Cassius told Antony that if it was his choice, Antony would of died along with Caesar. I didn't want this war to happen but if I could change who I killed, I would still leave the number to one and one only. I would not have killed Antony. Octavius was also upset. He knew how many wounds were on Caesar and was keeping score. How childish. The weather on this day was horrible. A storm was gathering and everything was on the line.
   The end of this battle is near and I will definitely keep my audience updated on what happens next in Philippi. I, myself would like to know before anything else happens.
