An army of Huns raids a small village, which contains a family consisting of ZETA (12), his sisters, mother, and father. Zeta’s mother is killed by BOTAR (early 30s). Later, COLLECTORS come to the farm for money. Zeta is forced into slavery after his FATHER (mid 30s) is light on money to give. Zeta is sold to MAXIMINOS (late 30s), who gives him to his son KYLON (12) as a plaything to abuse. Later, PRISCUS (?) sees Zeta's condition and convinces Maximinos to sell him.
Priscus takes care of Zeta, giving him food, lodgings, and proper education. Six years later, Zeta has become a highly intelligent young man who helps Priscus create blueprints for palaces and structures, along with gaining knowledge on battle strategies. The two are sent on an imperial mission, which is also party to Maximinos and an older Kylon (now 18). They visit the infamous Hun ATTILA (52) for a potential peace treaty.
The group reaches Attila and things seem to be amicable until Attila discovers gold hidden in the party’s sacks. Maximinos points at Priscus to explain but when he fails to give a proper answer, Attila has Botar kill him, much to Zeta’s horror. Maximinos then blames...
