General Peltis was silent for a moment, his mind taking in the question he had just been asked. Did these Romans not have access to magic? But no, he could feel it, especially now as he actively searched for it, there was definitely something there, hidden deep within these Romans. It seemed absurd that a nation of such strength and sophistication as the New Roman Empire quite obviously had would not have used, or even seemingly noticed the abilities they had been born with. Did they honestly had no clue as to the power they held inside? These thoughts all crossed through his head in an instant though his facial features betrayed not even the slightest hint of surprise. Instead the General began to speak.

"I apologize, I would have told you what I was doing first had I known you had no knowledge of it. I used a form of energy we call magic. It is a powerful force and can become very dangerously the user if not handled carefully. Though, the uses for it in the hands of a master are limitless. I was not aware that you lacked access to it. I could have sworn I sensed its presence among you and your soldiers. I still feel it in fact. Have you never known of the power hidden inside yourselves? I'm sorry if I accidentally offend you, but I can hardly believe you made this obviously strong empire without ever tapping into your most powerful abilities. I can feel it within you, can you not do the same?"
