Ursus made his way across to the cages and waited while the last of the Risen army was added to the ranks. The overhead hatch was locked and secured. He gave the nod to the centurions to pull the chains and release the cage doors. At first the Risen were tentative, still standing at the bars and trying to get at the legionaries who watched them from outside the bars. Then Ursus heard the screaming of the slave nearest the entrance of the tunnel. The sound attracted first one and then more of the Risen until, before long, there was a steady stream of undead heading down the tunnel, each following the one in front of them.

Ursus stood and watched them go past like sheep being herded into a pen. He saw Sergius pass by but the life and light had gone out of the man’s eyes. He no more saw Ursus than he saw the life he had once led. No recognition lit the creature's eyes as he passed the man who had killed him. He moved into the mouth of the tunnel and out of sight.
