The awe-inspiring fighter named Quintus stood up once again. The greatest fighter after the 5 Good Emperors wields his dagger, splashing blood onto the ground. And on the ground lies the lion, still breathing but unable to roar, tearing the wound in its neck with each breath.The audience burst into cheers, raising their thumbs, sending the slave trader into a panic—as agreed, he would be facing the gladiator himself in the next battle.
The bets about treasures were only traps luring him from the audience to the colosseum.Sticking out his head among the praetorian guards, the slave trader offered to let Quintus's wife go. The fighter did not answer, just tearing his sleeves in silence and tying the sword tightly with his hand.Quintus slowly sat on the ground, waiting quietly. The cheers turned to curses calling for the next battle.
The sun was setting, and the colosseum was lighted by torches, but Quintus was still sitting on the ground. When the slave trader finally changed into his armor and stood on the field, raising his sword while reciting poems about glory, life, or something like that, Quintus was still sitting there.

He was making up excuses to leave, or maybe shorten the time of battle.With trembling legs, the slave trader dropped his sword with a clank. Yes, he admitted defeat, as he was too afraid to even raise the sword and take part in the fight. The audience was urging Quintus to put an end to his opponent, but he was still sitting on

Quintus, has long gone...
