To rise and fall to shine and shimmer to clammer shield and sword umong the mightiest. The sight of gushing blood the feel of shattering bones the sound of clattering steel and the smell of blood sweat and shit upon the sand. Surrounded by titans in armor evading countless strikes blocking continuous blows. Shields bashing blades clashing throuts slashed skulls bashed until only one stands the victor the gladiator the champion of Rome.
