| − | Beware the Hanged Man's gaze. It is rare for him to acknowledge your presences, much less look upon you. A Gaze from him usually means a troubling future awaits you. Think of it perhaps as a warning that you are approaching a fateful crossroads in your life. A time of more than just change, but also one of great revelation, enlightenment and salvation. Or perhaps you are nearing a crisis moment, one you may not survive.

Julius, younger, more grounded, but equally adventurous of the two, was the protector and advisor. He understood the importance of Augustus' unique intellectual skills, and accompanied him on all his strange, dangerous, challenging and sometimes exotic travels. Together they were a team, but even they had no idea of the absolutely amazing experiences awaiting them once an equally amazing set of twins enter their lives.
