The sound of clashing weapons was over taken by the bloodthirsty screams of the spectators until finally one warrior stood alone.
He grinned in triumph as the crowd chanted his name. The battle had been difficult, but he had been victorious, His foe lay prostrate at his feet. He would have his revenge. Mother, Father, Sister, Grandmother, their blood cried out to him for retribution. It didn't matter that this one was not the man responsible. He was one of them. He wiped the sweat from his brow, smearing the war paint he'd so lovingly applied. The sun burnt his eyes as he searched the stands for the answer he desired. The Emperor smiled and turned up his thumb.
The echo of his war club hitting bone reverberated through the arena.
He only wished it had silenced their cries.
End.
