Gladiators

"Romans? I thought we were no where close to Rome!"

"Well it appears that they are Romans (or at least I was told they were Roman ships) and we are under attack!" said the ork.

Thrall growled "well what are u waiting for! Attack them boys!"

Thrall cast the spell chain lightning on one of the enemy ships also causing it to bounce around and strike all the men. The Pharaoh and his men were all speechless at this sight but had to continue fighting. Some of Thrall's goblin maniacs went into frenzy and sank a ship but also exploded while in the process. In the end they were victorious and Thrall and his party were told that they were not Romans but that they were pirates who had most likely stolen Roman ships. Thrall tired by there battle went to bed to regain strength.

While he was sleeping he had a vision. He saw to figures in the distance. He tried to make out who they were but he couldn't see. He used his skill far sight to see farther. When he could see better he figured out it was a young woman and a kind of old man. He saw the man was wearing what looked like a crown. He tried harder to see what they were doing. He saw the man pull out his sword. "What is that crazy old man doing?" Thrall wondered. He closed his eyes for only a moment but when he opened them he was in a huge temple and by the looks of it there were lots of people gathered and watching the old man and woman. He looked backwards and saw a harbor with some ships in it. "Wait a minute" wondered Thrall "those are Roman ships! I must be in Rome and the old man must be the emperor! He looked back and saw the emperor shaking hands with the woman. He looked closer. At first he couldn't make out who it was but then he realized.... Jaina!

He woke up and almost fell off his bed! "I know where Jaina is!!!"

"WarChief is everything all right?" said one of the orks,

"Everything is fine" answered Thrall "I just had a dream about Jaina! She is in Rome, and we must go to Rome to see her!"

Thrall went to see the Pharaoh. "I need to get to Rome Pharaoh; I just had a dream of my friend who knows powerful magic as I."

"I only know one way to get you there." said the Pharaoh. "And it may be difficult not to get caught"

"Tell me," said Thrall

"They are holding a gladiator competition and they need more fighters in the ring, brave fighters who fight with honor and power. And I believe you green skins fight with both so you might be able to compete."

"Excellent when can you get your spy ready for the sooner we leave the sooner I can find my friend."

3 days later a roman ship came but it had Egyptians were sailing it. It came so close to the ship Thrall he thought it might ram into it. He watched the men tie their ship onto the Pharaoh's ship trying to figure out what kind of rope they used, but he could not. The captain of the spies said "we are ready to take the green skins." "Excellent," said Thrall "boys get on the ship we are going to Gladiator competitions!" Some of the orks grumbled some of then did nothing but go on the ship, but some of them were happy to go to the gladiator competition. (I think it's because they're sea sick but who knows.)

It was a whole month before Thrall and his party got to Rome, but they were all happy to get there because they had almost run out of food. Rome was more beautiful then Thrall had thought but he could not waist his mind on this he had to find Jaina. The spies said to Thrall "follow me. I will lead you to the Gladiators hotel to get u checked in. They will also check if you have the proper qualities to fight at the gladiator games."

It was a while before they got there but when they did they were all pleased. When they got inside it was almost empty except for some fairly large men and the receptionist. "Where is everyone?" The spy asked the receptionist. There are some gladiators who already went upstairs to their room and those to fat bloats are drunk and now you came in. Would you like these...Things to fight?" asked the receptionist. "Why else do you think we are here" growled Thrall.

"Indeed" said the receptionist.

It did not take long before the receptionist said that they all qualified to fight. He told them that they would fight two days from now when the sun is high and for now you are to roam around Rome. He chuckled at his joke but Thrall just looked at stared at him. Thrall went up to his room and the other Orks went to their room.

In the morning Thrall left the hotel and started to explore with some of his orks. He went to what he thought was the middle of the city where he saw a huge statue of a man holding a lightning bolt. He wondered who it was. He went to a huge building which also had the huge statue of the man carrying the lightning bolt. He went inside and he saw a huge alter. "This must be a temple," he wondered out loud. He left the temple and went to another big building. He didn't know what this one was but he knew it was of big importance for it was bigger then the rest of them.

Meanwhile Jaina was also roaming the streets for she heard that green skins came to fight in the games and she knew that it was Thrall for she saw him come to her in her dream last night. She went to the center of the city to look at the statue of the Greek god Zeus. She was told by Dale that they worshipped this god greatly and he gave them power. She got to the statue and she sat on the bench. She looked at this city but then she remembered the city that she grey up training to be a sorceress..."Daleron" she wondered out loud.
