Octavius woke up after long hours of sleep. He had been ill for countless months. He had countinous headaches, and he felt weak, too weak to even walk around. His studies under Sosigenes had come to a halt because the famous doctors of Alexandria, Octavius had visited, all told him to remain in bed, and take lots of rest. He was also very frustrated about the fact that his sister was getting married. But after after months of waiting, his illness slowly began to abate. Now he felt well enough to go back to completing his studies. He had to find Sosigenes again, and ask Sosigenes to continue teaching him. Octavius left his quarters and began wandering through the streets. He was asking around to see if anyone knew where Sosigenes was.
