Nero spent the entire night meditating, not sleeping for a single wink. Or at least, that is what it seemed. Nero spent the entire night maintaining peak vigilance. Unity had already proven that he was not totally secure even within his prison cell, and with his verdict on the horizon, these would be his last few hours of imprisonment. That also meant that if anyone wished to harm him before he was free, this would be the time.
So, in truth, while he maintained a guise of meditation through the night, he was actually waiting for something to happen. Fortunately, there was no disturbance throughout the night. The first rays or early morning shone through the window, bringing with it many new beginnings.
A few hours after dawn, a lone guard came to Nero's cell, not looking nearly as surly as the guards from the day prior.
