"What's this?" one voice asked. This voice is a harsh, commanding baritone. "New shipment of gladiators, sir," another voice answered. This one is quieter, higher-pitched, nervous. It probably belongs to someone young. The crate was pried open at the top ever so slightly, and I winced as the bright afternoon light glared into my eyes after the inky darkness of the crate. I heard the other prisoners groan with discontent as well. I caught a glimpse of a sharply angled but handsome face looking down upon us before the lid of the crate slammed shut once more and we were once again enveloped in blackness. "Let them in," the authoritative voice ordered coldly. "Get them to the trainers immediately." "Yes, sir," replied the young voice. I could hear the sound of bronze boots clacking against cobblestones, and it slowly receded. Then, I heard an order called out, and with the clattering of hooves against stones, we lurched forward once again.
"Welcome to the arena," a voice said. This one, too, was authoritative, but it was kinder than the voice from before. I opened my eyes slowly and leaned upward in the crate, awaking from my nap in the crate. I beheld a tall, muscular man with jet black hair cut unevenly short. He was clad in the garb of the Roman military; lorica segmentata, a war skirt, caligas, a scarlet focale, a crimson tunic, a black woolen sagum, a horsehair galea, and a balteus containing a stylized gladius. His face was marred by a deep, straight scar running from the cheek to just above the eye. He extended his right hand to me and I grasped it in mine. He gripped my hand firmly and hauled me to my feet. I stumbled at first, months of malnutrition and starvation as well as being jammed in a crate with several other people for days having severely atrophied my muscles, but the soldier caught me. I was able to sit down in a stooping position. "My name's Cadmus," the soldier informed me. "And that's Octavia." He pointed across the vast, sand-floored room and I saw a tall, equally muscular woman in a white toga and caligas. She seemed to be pretty...but in a commanding way. "We're your trainers." "Trainers? For what?" I asked in confusion. Cadmus shook his head. "You don't know where you are, do you?" Octavia replied, walking up. I shook my head unsteadily. "You're in the Arena," Cadmus informed me. "In Rome." I rubbed my gritty eyes. I did recall hearing one of the guards mention something about sending me to some arena. "So...the Arena? In Rome? And why am I here?" I asked again. "I think you know," Cadmus replied. "This Arena is used as a form of punishment for crimes against Rome. I don't care to know what crime you committed in particular, but I do know that in order to be here, in this arena, you have to have done something." "A punishment?" I repeated. "So...it's like the gladiators' arena then, is it?" "Not quite," Octavia answered. "This Arena is a little bit different." "How so?" I asked. "In the Gladiator's arena, the fights are fair," Cadmus answered, "and they're watched by a crowd of spectators for sport. This Arena is no sport. The only viewer is our Emperor, and he is our judge. We must put on a good show for him. He and the others control everything in the Arena. If the Emperor is disappointed, we die. That's not exactly it, but it's a simplified version." "So...I'm in the Arena to fight, am I?" I asked, already knowing the answer. Octavia rolled her eyes. "Of course," she answered. Cadmus folded his arms impassively. "And you're my trainers?" I clarified. Cadmus nodded. "Our job is to make sure you survive...long enough so that the Emperor is pleased with our work, that is," Cadmus told me. "Your work reflects on our own. If the Emperor is really displeased about your performance, we can be punished as well. We must not only make sure you survive, but that you put on a good show." "Makes sense...I guess," I said, shrugging. "So, what now?" "Perhaps you should tell us who you are," Octavia suggested.

"Uhh...I don't remember," an orderly replies, and the rest of the orderlies and nurses concur. "You know, we get a lot of patients and really, we don't pay a whole lot of attention to what they look like except if we're examining to see if they have a disease or something. Besides, I do remember that we had to keep our distance from this guy, something about that disease again. He was all wrapped up in cloth, too, like a mummy."

"You know what?" a nurse pipes up, "Now that you mention it, I do remember that he didn't speak...a lot...at all, actually." "He was really tall," one orderly offers. "Like...6'4 or something." "Oh, and he didn't limp, which was strange," says a medicus, not the head medicus though. "For what must have been a very severe disorder -requiring so many bandages and such-I would imagine that he would have an overpowering limp, fatigue, weakness, or the like, but he walked normally. It's almost as if the bandages weren't there to aid in the healing of any sort of injury, but to hide something."

"Well," says one orderly, "I was working the front desk when he 'escaped'. I'm pretty sure no one else saw him, because it was at an obscene hour of the night and if anyone else was there, they were either asleep or operating on a patient. The patient just walked right by me. I didn't think anything of it, he was wearing a medicus' outfit and looked completely inconspicuous. I don't think anyone saw which way he went."

*leave*
(So, I'm looking for a guy, no one knows where he went, what he looks like, how he sounds, or anything about him...?)
Guess I'd better start asking around, see if anybody saw anyone in a medicus uniform.

Really? How unexpected, wherever did you get that idea? xP
You go talk to Cadmus and Octavia about the escaped guy. "Errmm...uhh...what? No, I've never heard anything about that," says Cadmus, rubbing the back of his neck and taking a sudden interest in the ground.

Well, I don't really want to imagine the things that would happen to you. By the way, did you hear about the new thing all the soilders are doing? Its called crucifixition.
