Acto Fallido #2
Marte, depicted as a Roman war god, seeks refuge and peace in a dense forest. Roman legionaries pursue him, urged by political and religious authority to bring him back to fulfill Rome’s expansionist destiny. The forest deity, Xim (or Rin), confronts the Romans and argues that they destroy what they do not understand. Despite appeals for peace and warnings about destiny, the Romans attack. The forest defends itself violently, and the narrative closes with the message that no man nor god can escape fate, and that all are merely visitors in history.
