Pompeii

The First Woman Gladiator

" Jalon!" screamed Avolon, crying.

She watched him get taken away. A man in robes walked in a hour later.

" Are you here to take me too", she cried.

"No, but now you put that idea in my head, though...", he trailed, "I'm going to sell you to a man who wants girl gladiators.

"No, please!" she pleaded.

" To late."

" Also," he said, "My name is Maque."

Then all she saw was black and felt pain.

She awoke 2 days later and all she felt was pain in the gut. She looked around and saw a black man staring at her in a chair. He looked concerned.

" Are you alright?" he said in a warm tone.

"Yeah", I replied

" Good"

He then handed her a chicken breast and warm milk.

" Are you ready to become the first woman gladiator ever?"

"Sure", she replied, not fully awake.

" My name is Atlantis" he said. " I know what your name is already."

" I'm a gladiator too. One of the best." he exclaimed.

They trained from dawn till dusk for four weeks, until he said," You're ready."
