Mer-Mer was desperately trying to save her friends, but it was too late. If he had rested and dealt with Shadow Magic for more time, he might have succeeded, but ...Mer-mer looked around, expecting the arrows to pierce them at any moment, when he noticed that something wasn't right.
Unexpectedly, the entire arena had gone silent and it was as if by some magic everything had frozen in place. As if by some miracle, the arrows were frozen in midair just a few feet away from them.
"Let's run..." shouted Mer-mer. " To the east door.."
He turned to his companions , to see that this same strange magic, had stiffened them." Let's run! Wake up !" he tried to wake them up, but in vain.
At that instant a huge shadow fell over the Colosseum , and the flapping of bird wings was heard.
" Kriii, kriii" screeched the bird-rock and snatched them up in its huge paws.
The next moment the mysterious spell was broken and the Colosseum rang again with thousands of voices. The arrows resumed their flight... but there were none...
The bird-rock had flapped her wings and soared into the sky.
"Fire!" cried the Emperor, furious that the gladiators had escaped certain death. The arrows, however, could not reach the fugitives, who now looked like ants out of a haystack.
"A hundred gold coins, for whoever brought their heads," the Emperor shouted, foaming at the mouth. "Not 200 coins, just bring me their heads!"
The senators and nobles who were sitting around the emperor hurried away, so as not to suffer the emperor's wrath.
The spectators in the stadium began to disperse, for the spectacle was over.
Only up in the imperial box, shouting, was the emperor left alone with his praetorian guards.
At the same time, the bird-rock was hovering in the air , holding the unfortunate heroes in her arms. There was something harmonic in its flight, and even the whirring of gears seemed to be audible.
" It's one of Solaris' mechanical birds, broke the silence first Mer-mer.
" How are you so sure?" asked Spartacus.
" Because we have been watched by the mechanical birds of the enchanter for several weeks. One of them even crashed on our window."
"It's true," Shadow-cat confirmed. It was made of some sort of gear mechanism. There was a crystal that pulsed strangely."
"Is it carrying us somewhere?" asked Ragnar.
" Now you'll understand," laughed Latina, as the bird had ceased flapping its wings and was about to land...
"We escaped one evil only to encounter another!" said Ragnar. " Please kiss me, before i died. "
At least you're alive, for now I don't think Solaris wants us dead. At least while we're blowing his whistle..."
"Please kiss me before I die!" cried out Ragnar again.
"You wish! "slapped him on the neck Latina and everyone laughed...
"I'm going to die a virgin, oh gods...Ragnar groaned and closed his eyes...
