The Show down
Darkness engulfs me. My body tenses up and I tell myself to relax. The shaft
of my spear is wet with the sweat of anticipation and fear coming down my
stiff hands. I take a deep breath and think about the peaceful times I have
had with my beautiful and elegant partner in the forest meadow and stream
just relaxing and forgetting about what we actually have become...
The speech of a senator comes indistinctly through the trap door that
separates me and the bloody arena. It is probably my sponsor Jabouwan. He
promised me that we wouldn't have to fight exotic animals or any tough
opponents this time. I hope he keeps his word, I don't want us to get hurt
this time. Our... never mind, I’ll get to that later. Jabouwan is usually
kind to me and he deems those fights as necessary for Rome. I am glad he is
my sponsor; otherwise my doom would have probably come to me much earlier.
The senator stops for a pause and only one word follows. I don’t quite
catch that word but I realize what it is when thousands of spectators cheer
and shout in unison. Let the battle begin.. I guess...
I check my gear for the last time. A spear in my right hand, and a firm grip
on my light shield in my left hand. A sturdy sword is shoved through my
belt resting in its sheath. I always like to keep myself light, but
protection is probably more important than my weapons. So I have always
stuck with studded leather armor on my whole body other than my head and
hands. Why bother wearing a helmet when a blow there would equal death
anyways, right?
