The Emperor and the Gladiator

Before we start, some important things you need to know

Copia is the new emperor of Rome. His brothers, not shared by the same mother but by the same father, had passed. His twin, who had yet to be seen by the public, was not fit to take the position of emperor of Rome. And now, just crowned emperor, Copia sat in the coliseum watching the gladiator fights.

Antares is a gladiator from Greece. He was captured as a baby while Copia’s father Nihil was young and concurring Greece. Since the baby was captured and grew into a fine young man, he hadn’t aged since. This threatened Nihil and he sent the young man off to be trained as a gladiator. Once fully trained Nihil would send him out as often as possible to fight.

Ignatius = Antares

Terra = Marcus

Copia entered the coliseum to a thunderous roar of applause. Everyone was waiting for today’s gladiator fights. The legendary Antares was able to fight again today and the crowd wanted to see him fight. Copia sat in his seat and motioned to the event organizer to start. The man nodded and motioned to his subordinates to prepare the gladiators. One of the subordinates ran to an awaiting Antares, dressed in his armor. He looks over to the organizer and nods as he knows his cue. The subordinate takes a deep breath as the organizer begins to talk

“Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to our wonderful coliseum. We have many fights for you all to enjoy. But first, the fight you’ve been waiting for. Please give me Ignatius.”

Antares takes a deep breath before walking out onto the coliseum floor. The crowd erupts in cheers and he stays calm and stands tall. His feathered helmet adorned with a griffon’s head is over his face and his Parmula (shield) is at his side. In the hilt his chosen weapon, a Sica (curved sword), rested. The organizer spoke again

“Now send in Terra!”

A giant Murmillo gladiator walks out in front of him and the coliseum erupts into cheers again. Antares sighs, looks like it’s an even playing field. Neither side was cheered louder so whoever won was king of the arena. Antares was what some would call a Senior Gladiator. He had been fighting in the arena for years. Trained as a gladiator since he was a young man, he would go through fights with just a single scar from each opponent. He was a wonderful fighter who started off as a servant to the old emperor Nihil.

Copia sat up in his seat. Ignatius, it was a name he heard before, but he had heard his father call the man by a different name. He just couldn’t remember. Copia looked at the size difference between Ignatius and Terra. Ignatius was smaller in stature, around 5 foot. While Terra was larger, Almost 6 foot. Copia shuddered. He had never seen Ignatius fight before, but yet he was still scared for the man.

Antares took a deep breath and looked up to the new Emperor. When he saw that the emperor was looking at him he smirked under his mask. He had already won the new emperor’s favor and he hadn’t even started fighting. Antares then looked at Terra. His real name was actually Marcus and he was a very sweet man, but just like Antares, he was forced to fight. He frowned under his helmet, it was a fight to the death, it always was with Antares, and he had to win. The announcer stood up, having let the tension build up long enough.

“Alright, let the fight begin!”

The subordinate of the announcer rang the bell and the fight was officially on. Antares immediately lunged into offense. He unsheathed his sword and slashed at Marcus. Marcus held his defense well and thrust his sword towards Antares’ stomach.

Copia watched the fight with bated breath. He could barely watch some parts of the fights. Ignatius was quick but Terra was strong in his defense. The fight stretched on, both fighters equally matched. Ignatius and Terra both had scratches on them from the other’s weapons. The fight was good. Copia was very much leaning towards Ignatius. Something about him felt familiar, nostalgic almost. While he was trying to figure that out Ignatius had finally cornered Terra and had him in a lucrative position. Terra, too exhausted to fight back, looked like he knew his time was up. Ignatius looked up to Copia and placed his hand on his heart before extending his hand out to the emperor. A declaration that the kill was for the emperor. And just as Ignatius slashed Terra’s throat and the crowd cheered, Copia remembered.

Antares, his father’s most treasured servant. The one his father loved to make run errands. What had happened to him? Why was he now a gladiator? It made sense, given that he had been gone from the palace for so long. But he didn’t know why. And as Ignatius, Antares, left the arena and the sweepers came to freshen up the sand and remove Terra’s body, Copia couldn’t help but ponder what had happened to Antares that made him be turned into a gladiator.
