gladiator

the battle

I readied my shield and sword as I spotted an ackley on the other side of the arena, obviously starved. I looked around and spotted the Chancellor sitting high above the arena. I still don't understand why I'm here. I was a prisoner of the separatists, them selling me to the arena. The only way out is to fight for my life.

          The ackley ran towards me at full speed, it's claw like legs tearing into the gritty soil. It jumped up and threw its claws down at me. I tried to blocked it with my shield, which soon splintered into a million pieces of wood. I swung my sword at the ackley's front leg, hearing a clanging sound as it hit. I dropped to  the group as it swung another claw leg attack. I jumped over another sloppy attack and decided to make one of my own. From the behind I stabbed it in the back, making it screech loudly in the arena air. A back leg stepped back and threw me across the arena. The ackley turned around and was running towards me, ready to charge.

          What am I gonna do?!
