THE
EMPRESS
The
Prelude
Breathing heavily, the gladiator looks at his bloody hands in shock in horror and locks eyes with the empress who is moved by his actions he then looks out among the crowd as they cheer frantically. He summons his will power and screams, "Aren't you not entertained!" Hurriedly, the empress rushes from her corridor with her servants and chambermaids following her. She runs to her chamber shutting the door behind her and weeps frantically.
Later that evening she is relaxing in her bath chambers while she is being pampered all she can seem to think about is the events of that day. She would never imagined that things could become so violent so fast. "What have I done?" she yells and then begins to weep uncontrollably again. "My lady what is the matter?" asked one of her servants "LEAVE ME! GET OUT!" she demands they leave immediately without word or complaint. She submerged herself in the water shutting out the outside world just her and her thoughts.
"Open the gate!" she demands "Open the Gate for the Empress!" immediately the gates are open under heavy guard the empress proceeds to the gladiator chamber "make way!" the guards bark at the gladiators. They make their way down to a lower level and "Let me see him!" she demands. And without hesitation the guard of the cell opens the gate. "Leave us." She said. The guards stand at a distance. The gladiator doesn't even budge yet he said, "Do what I owe this visitation?" She violently attacks him.
Giving him a bloody lip while ruining her evening attire. They both stand on opposing walls of the cell. "What made it come to this?" he asks. Breathing heavily she answers "You did." "I did?" "Yes! You!"
