Chapter 23 - Chapter 11 Targon's journey in Rome

Targon now using the name Ignis Aduro would not fight during the conquest of Alexander the Great but instead spend time in Italic in Rasenna or as the Romans would call them the land of the Etruscans. Ignis Aduro was impressed with the Etruscans culture and society. Ignis Aduro would spend a lot time in the Etruscan world when he was not exploring the rest of Italic. When he heard of Rome he wanted to see what the city was like, when he learned about the city sewage system he was surprised with how well they build it all be it a little crude in his eyes because of where all the waste would go, he found the idea of the sewage waste being dumped in rivers and streams disgusting because he could found a better place then rivers and streams but had no idea were yet. When Rome was begin it's conquer the Etruscans Targon clone now using the name Ignis Venti would evacuate as many people including the friends he made in the Etruscans city states as he could before the Romans conquered them. The year was 264 BCE it would be the year of the first Punic war. During the war Targon's clone now know as Ignis Tellus would not fight in the war unless was forced into a fight would instead focus on evacuating as many people of Sicily as he could so they would not get killed in the war. When the first punic war had ended Ignis Tellus had a feeling that it was over yet and would unfortunately proven right. It was the year 218 BCE twenty three years after the first Punic war had ended and the second Punic war would being and it would be Hannibal of Carthage who would start unsurprising to Targon's clone now called Ignis Sol would actually fight against Hannibal because Hannibal only one goal to carry out his fathers revenge. When the second Punic war ended Ignis Sol did not like the terms of Carthage surrender but sadly there was nothing he could do since he was just a mercenary. After sixty years of peace Targon's clone now using the name Ignis lupus was shocked to learn that Carthage was being invaded and Rome wasn't doing anything while the Numidia was attacking Carthage and was even more surprised when Carthage had fail at it's counteroffensive Rome would declare war on Carthage, Ignis Lupus would head to Carthage to evacuate as many people as he could before the invasion. After the fall of Carthage Ignis Lupus would have some bitterness towards Rome for what the had done to Carthage. Meanwhile Targon using the name Ignis Serpentem would hear about the Macedonian wars. When the first Macedonian war began in 272 BCE before the fall of Carthage Ignis Serpentem would spend all his time evacuating people from any city that was near any battle fields and would continue for the next hundred and four years. As for the clone that would integrate into Rome who is now called Ignis Ursus. Ignis Ursus would be the first clone to meet another clone after going their separate ways two thousand years earlier, Ignis Ursus was one of three clones that would spread though out Europe while Ignis Ursus would spend his time in Greece and the surround kingdoms to eventually integrating into the Roman Republic which would become the Roman Empire, Ignis Ursus we he heard that a was a erupted between Rome and the Gauls he would travel to Iberia to try to save as many lives as he could not knowing that someone had beaten to it. This would be the first time two different clones of Targon would meet, Ignis Ursus would meet another clone who would be called Teine a' Ghrian. Teine a'Ghrian knowing that Iberians tribes were doom instead of fighting unless to protect the friends he made during his time there and to protect villagers he was evacuating so not to be slaughtered. The two clones would work together all be it discreetly would to save as many native Iberian people as they could which would cost Teine a'Ghrian life or so both sides believed in reality Ignis Ursus faked Teine a'Ghrian death and would continue helping him all the way until Julius Caesars conquest of Gaul which lead to the death of the second clone of Targon will using the name Teine tha dòchas ann would sacrifice himself so the people he had befriended in Gaul would be spare and asked that Targon clone who was now called Ignis Aquila would promise keep the Gauls safe, Teine tha dòchas ann would die at peace knowing Ignis Aquila would keep his promise. After laying Teine tha dòchas ann to rest Ignis Aquila would stash the relics and records Teine tha dòchas ann had made during his time in Iberia and Gaul in Mount Olympus just like he did with other relics and records Ignis Aquila had collected/make over his time in the Mediterranean. Targon clone that lived in Rome now cal Ignis Accipiter had heard about Julius Caesar he was impressed with how popular he was with the people and his talents although he did not like how Caesar lead a campaign to conquer Gaul lead to the death of Targon's second clone. When the second Roman civil war broke out at first Ignis Accipiter wasn't if he should fight but in the end with Caesar because he believed that it was best option. Sometime after the second roman civil war Targon's clone now called Ignis Bos had heard the Caesar was assassinated and would learn that it was the senate including Brutus he was not surprised because Ignis Bos knew that Caesars popularity with people and political position was causing some unrest with the senate which would lead them to kill Caesar. In the years that would follow Targon's clone would use the names Ignis Caballus, Ignis Noctua, Ignis Cervus and Ignis Vulpes would see the republic become an empire and see the rise and fall of the first Roman Dynasty and not like Tiberius, Caligula nor Nero and would make his way to isle of Britannia trying to save as many people as he could which would lead Ignis Vulpes to encounter another one of Targon's clone for a second time, Ignis Vulpes would meet Targon's third clone Teine an Chnámh who was a druid at the time would in secrete evacuate as many Celtic people as they especially with Boudicas have the thirst for revenge which in the end would be the death of her. Thanks to the aid of Ignis Vulpes Teine an Chnámh managed to flee to Ireland with refugees and suggested to either stay in Ireland to try to make a new home for return to their homes in Britannia with suggestion to wait until things die down as for Teine an Chnámh he would stay in Ireland with the other druid he save and the relics and records he keep just in case. Ignis Vulpes would return to Rome after saying goodbye to Teine an Chnamh and when he return was shock to learn that a fire had start with Nero blaming the Christians but Ignis Vulpes would figure out it was Nero and would decided enough was enough, while history says Nero committed suicide but reality Ignis Vulpes would slit Neros throat, as Nero laid dying Ignis Vulpes would say tyrannus ad mortem (death to the tyrant)dying emperor. The next emperor after Nero for Ignis was nothing special, the new emperor was trying to rebuild Rome only being impressed by the colosseum. Targon's now Ignis Apris would arrive in Pompeii and would spend two years until one day he got a bad feeling one he had not felt since Crete which would lead he to start evacuating as many people as he could outside the city limit far enough Mount Vesuvius and for those who had difficulty he would gather them in one place which lead him to being a living Shield, after the eruption passed Ignis Apris with the people he had shielded begin to leave the fallen city as fast they could because Ignis Apris warned them that ash was coming and if they breathed any of it in it will kill them, it was then the people of Pompeii learn about his true nature which at first they were planning to kill but after reuniting with the rest of the people who Ignis Apris/Targon clone managed to get before the town was destroyed. they would as who or what was he and why he help them to which he explained that he's a dragon from another world who came to this three thousand years ago on a journey to discover himself and to one day find peace, after hear explanation they thanked him for save them and would never forget him. It was the 96 CE Targon's clone in Rome now called Ignis Eques would also use other names like Ignis Coercitor, Ignis Bravus, Ignis Miraculum, Ignis Invictus, Ignis INICIO, Ignis Pax, Ignis Cor and Ignis Somnio would be impressed with Trajans reformer for Rome especially the alimenta, he wasn't surprised when Trajan died during his campaign in Parthia.

After the Jewish rebelution was crushed Lngis Micaculum would part ways with Hadrian. During Antoninus Pius reign Targon clone now using the three names Ignis Invictus, Ignis Inicio and Ignis Pax just enjoyed a peaceful life for a change despite not liking how gladiators fight to the death for sport he found barbaric. The only thing that Ingis Invictus/Ignis Inicio /Ignis Pax was impressed him about Antoninus Pius was that he would pass a Legislation for protecting the rights of slaves in hope they may be freed one day. When Marcus Aurelius ascended to the throne of the empire Targon's clone now called Ignis Cor surprised learn that the empire was being ruled by two emperors. Marcus Aurelius would rule alongside Lucius Verus, Ignis Cor was surprised to learn that war were brewing on all three of Romes boarders during this time Ignis Cor would aid Marcus Aurelius with he military campaigns and helping him remove corrupt/disloyal officials. During the Antonine plague Ignis Cor would try to save as many lives as he could with the medical knowledge he learned after he time spent with his friend Hippocrates. Ignis was surprised at Marcus Aurelius because this was the first time he met an emperor who dislike military life and was also surprised with Marcus Aurelius philosophical treatise on how to live and how to think. It was the year 180 CE the year Marcus Aurelius died which Ignis Cor was there when his friend died. Unbeknownst to Trgon and his clones crystals would appear in the tombs of Julius Caesar,Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius after being lad to rest.
