"Please do not make me tell on my own
Legion. I am their officer and also their friend. Cassio is my superior and it
would shamed me to tell on him." Iago bow to the Legatus.
"Speak, Praefectus Iago. I command
you." Othello told him.
"As you commanded, Legatus."
Iago looked to Cassio who had his face faced down. "I was in here with the
other aides, having the drink when Cassio barged in. He said he was ambushed by
someone and was wounded. I treated him, and then another came in with Montana
at the rear. The lights were dim and it was dark at the doorway. I could not
make out who he was, but Cassio attacked him. Montana stepped in to stop the
fight and ended up in the fist fight with Cassio. We pulled them apart and that
was when you arrived."
Othello glared towards Cassio, but Iago
stood in between the two.
"Legatus, even the best man in his
worst days may sometimes do the stupid things. Cassio was only trying to
capture the man who attacked him but the other had escaped. He would remain
unknown but he had offended Cassio. Any worthy man of his pride would do
justice to that injury."
Othello stepped up and pushed Iago aside.
He approached Cassio, and spoke to him.
"Micheal Cassio, you were one I held
much respect. I gave you the command as my second on that respect, and above
all trust that you would performed to the fullest." Othello looked away at
Iago. "You failed me. As of now, you are no more my second in command,
Praefectus Cassio."
"Othello, what happened here?"
It was Desdemona who stepped down from the upper level with Emilia.
Othello looked to the person and smiled.
"You are awake?" Othello feigned
the surprise to see his love. "I apologize if we awaken you from your
sleep."
"They can sleep through a Tempest, if
need be." Othello added in to calmed the situation. The others laughed at
that remark which Desdemona shied off with a giggle. Othello then walked to her
and asked that she go back upstairs.
"Iago, take over the command."
Othello told the other. "Have the healers attend to Montana and
Cassio."
With that Othello rejoined his love at the
stairs.
