Finally the door opened. I, had a helmet, trident and net. When I walked into the arena first sun blinded me ,then I saw that on the world stage but me is just an old man. The crowd chanted his name as he circled me and it looked like just waiting to pounce on me and stab daggers.

He also told me that I have a lot of strength but poor technique and that if I want to survive I have to work on it. We trained all day, he showed me how to confuse the opponent as to pull his gun and blinded with sand. Then wooden swords fought two fights. I was not tired but Hippolytos said that I need to rest. So I went but I could not sleep because I was thinking all the time about the fight that will take place next week. This time I did not have much luck. She comforted me to think that my side will fight Hippolytos and we will protect all of us have to fight a few more gladiator Spartacus famous among them, supposed to be invincible.
