Slave, Warrior, Queen
The roar was deafening, the sunlight warm against her skin, the brightness stinging her eyes as she scanned the over-packed audience.
“Ceres! Ceres! Ceres!” they chanted.
As her eyes grew accustomed to the sunlight, she let her gaze wander across the arena. On the other side of the stadium stood a barbarian of a combatlord, his arms as thick as Ceres’s waist, the veins in his legs bulging on top of thick, swollen muscles.
She clenched the hilt of her sword and knew that this man would kill her. She glanced at Paulo, and saw his face had fallen.
But she would not back down.
With all the courage she had inside of her, she raised her sword.
Her entire life she had been a slave. And now, even though she may very well die, that part of her life, she realized, was over.
Now, finally, she would go from Slave to Warrior.
Now, death would come for her.
And now her life would begin.
The crowd roared.
“CERES! CERES! CERES!”
