Wyatt Renar

9 October 2017
Today is the big day. I sighed to myself. Today was the day that I had to
risk my life for the peoples entertainment. I headed down to the barracks to get
ready. When I got there I saw my golden colored helmet and chestplate, my spear
and shield lay on the ground in front of it. I was the current gladiator champion for
a couple of months now so it wasnt my first time wearing this armor. As I was
putting the armor on, I thought to myself, This may be the last time I ever wear this
armor. But of course, I say that to myself every time. In about a minute it would be
my time to get out there. I gathered my final thoughts and stepped on to the hot
sand.
The crowd went wild. I could see my friend across the stadium Well he
was my friend until now. The men on their horses charged out from their
barracks. As soon as the men on the horses were out of the barracks I ran out onto
the stadium right behind them. One of the men on the horses had already killed my
friend within a matter of seconds after the battle started. Adrenaline was pumping

through my veins, I looked behind me and saw one of the men on the horses
charging behind me, luckily I was close to the wall. I waited for the horse to get
only a few feet away from me when I jumped to the side. The horse got knocked
out as soon as its long face smacked into the wall. The jockey was barely injured.
He leaped off of his horse and started swung his sword at me. I barely avoided
getting struck by his sharp sword, and suddenly I started to hear thumping behind
me It was another jockey, this time the jockey had his sword out this time, ready
to get me, but I was able to swing my sword at the current gladiator I was fighting,
I didnt swing it that hard so it only went about halfway through his left leg. The
thumping became very loud. I jumped to my right, and ducked. The jockey
impaled the current gladiator I was fighting, killing him instantly, The horse the
jockey was riding ran right into the gladiator's sword, killing the jockeys horse.
The horse came to a stop so quickly, it flung the jockey at the wall, knocking him
out.
Everyone else had been killed in one way or another, except for me and
someone else. It was a ground to ground battle, I ran at him, screaming at the top
of my lungs. I had my sword out, ready to get him right in the heart. Ive been a
gladiator for long enough to know all of the dips, bumps, and holes in the ground.
In front of him was a well known dip, once I realized that it was there, I started
walking, then I slowly came to a stop. The other gladiator looked confused, but he

kept sprinting. Only a matter of seconds later, his foot, stomped into the large dip,
he flung forward, still screaming. His face impacted the ground so hard I could
hear the cartilage in his nose snap as he fell to the ground. I ran over to him, and
I was still the champion. The crowd cheered for me. My body felt like it was
about to shut down because I was so exhausted. My grip loosened and I dropped
my sword.
on my leg. I glanced at my leg and saw a small puddle of blood on and next to my
leg. I looked at my hand and saw that I only had 4 fingers on my left hand. My
index finger was on the floor with a puddle of blood underneath it. I reached down
Who wants it? I yelled at the crowd. The spectators came down into the
arena and fought over the severed finger. I got up and walked back the barracks.
Right before I would leave the arena, I glanced behind me and saw a swarm of
Animals I said to myself and left the arena, holding my spot as the
gladiator champion.
