Meeting In Philippi

Both Cassius, myself, and our armies marched to Philippi. Before this battle began all of the commanders had a little discussion. It was basically a bunch of insults. Mark Antony and Octavius left challenging Cassius and I to battle when we dare. At that point I was very angry. I knew it was time to fight. Cassius asked me what am I gonna do if we happen to lose the battle. I told him that only cowards take suicide as the way out. Although I will never return to Rome as a captive. We said some farewells, it was the saddest thing I've done yet. We both knew that it was a huge possibility that we'd never see each other again.
