Colosseum, 3 years after the events on Berk

Swords clashed together in the dry sand of the Colosseum, where a massive deathmatch took place. Thirty gladiators in a bloody free for all fight. There were no teams, only one will walk out the arena alive. While gladiators were bleeding in the arena the spectators were watching and trying to guess who would win. The most influental and richest people were sat on their own private canopies. Many of them were betting on who would win. In one of the canopies sat two men wearing roman officer's uniform.

" So Flavius which one do you think is the winner?" Nero asked. Flavius was eager to respond.

" That huge gaul of course. He swings that large axe like it would be a stick. He will cut down rest of those scums allthough i think that other barbarian with the greatsword can prove to be a challenge." Flavius said looking intrested.

" I dare say that the small person with the gladius and shield." Nero said

" I have admit that he got style with that black armor and have to say that mask is quite indimitating."

The gladiator they were speaking about was wearing a black roman centurion armor with dried blood stains all over it. On his head was a centurion helmet with a mask. On the mask was a single red line of dried blood. He was using a legionaires shield and a gladius, both painted with dark red colour. He was using his sword effectively against the opponents slightly larger than him. He cutted their legs and then their necks. His combat style shoved some kind of resemblance to the roman legionaires style.

" He's well trained i give him that, but brute force will come first, not the style." Flavius said as the man killed a another gladiator using a spear and a net. A retarius.

" That were you are wrong Flavius. Style and the tactics come before the brute force. Trust me on this one." Nero said.

" I bet 5 denars for the Gaul. Who do you bet for?" Flavius asked

" I think i bet for the black centurion. I also put 5 denars on him."

On the arena were only two gladiators left. The black centurion and the gaul. Both pf them sized up each other and prepared for the other to make a move. The Gaul had small cuts on his torso but nothin severe. The black centurion was unharmed. The gaul lost his patience and charged. Black centurion waited until the gaul was close enough and then threw his shield against the gaul. He had no time to react as he swing his ace and hit the shield out of his way. But he did had reaction to see the spear impaled his chest. Schocked he dropped the axe and fall to his knees. Venturion came behind him and prepared to cut his throat.

" What should i do with your money, Flavius?" Nero asked while the cnturion cutted the gauls throat.

" You could buy a new slave to be your wife's handmaiden instead of that traitors wife. You can sell her to me." Flavius suggested

" Why do you need Julia Summanus? Last i checked her husband is dead and her son is currently at gladiator school."

" I need a bed warmer it get's lonely on these cold nights." Their discussion was interrupted by a shouting of black centurion.

" I AM DAMOCKLES! I AM VENGEANCE!" He shouted to the crowds.

" I have to admit his name is quite a unique. To be named after a roman legend is a some sort of praise i think." Nero said.

Ostia. The Port of Rome

The port of Ostia was busy as usual. Many trading galleys came and left. One of them docked and many passengers came ashore. Among them was a roman legionaire wearing his armor and nect to him was standing a woman woth blond hair and an axe strapped on her back. Curious glances were sended their way, but they did not care. They went to the nearest exit of the port and started walking towards the center of rome.

" Tiberius tell me how do we find Nero?" The woman asked.

" It is easy Astrid we just ask for the most powerfull general in Rome." Tiberius said.

" Then let's i hurry up i want to kill somebody." Astrid Hofferson said smiling.
