It was an ordinary day in Pompeii, Caecilius was in the city while Metella was reading a book in the garden.
All of a sudden the ground tremored and shook, people thought it was just another tremor from the great mountain their city was situated beneath.
That was, until a huge grey cloud of ash hovered above the innocent civilians. They knew then that the great mountain that stood upon them was erupting.
Molten rocks and lava started pouring into the city, destroying everything in their path.
Caecilius rushed home to try to find Metella but got trapped under a fallen wall in the study.
Clemens rushed home to search for his master, he heard a dog bark in the study and found Cerberus guarding Caecilius who was trapped, unconscious under a collapsed wall. Caecilius said," Metella and Quintus are dead." Caecilius handed Clemens a ring and told him to give the ring to Quintus who might still be alive, after this, Caecilius sadly died.
