I was waiting among the men as we watched a cart filled with slaves slowly be moved along a path, Nasir who had been training alongside me the last few days looking eagerly at the Roman's moving the cart along with it. Agron soon made his way behind us, settling himself between us as he placed his hands on our shoulders.



"Remember what we taught you." He told us as we heard Crixus' roar while he leap out to attack the cart, giving no pause. Another one of the men quickly charging the cart alongside Spartacus killing a guard within the cart. My eyes quickly flashed towards Nasir as we charged out from hiding towards the few guards surrounding the cart.


I found myself using the short sword that Crixus had handed to me on the journey here, claiming the battle field was no place for a rogue though, given opportunity I would prove him wrong. I could be fierce, Oenomaus always saw such power in me. How could my friends not? Quickly I moved to block an attack from a Roman who was surprised to see a woman in the group attacking them.


Dodge, Attack, Dodge, Dodge, Wound.


Each move cold and calculating just as my brother had been showing me. He told me if I were to fight among the men I would need to be able to protect and defend not only myself but those around me if I could. I found the distance between my brother, Nasir and I grow realizing I was surrounded more by trees than allies. I quickly dodged yet another attack, duck and moving around the swing of his sword as I used this space to my advantage cutting the man's throat.


"Jana!" Rhaskos called to me as he picked me up to move me behind him with one arm, and his sword arm cut down a Roman who had been charging at me. "Gratitude." I told him.


"I told you, I will protect you." He said as I sheathe my sword noticing the man on the horse attempting to steady his horse to make escape. "Throw me to the horse." I told him as I moved to run towards Rhaskos him taking me by the waist before heaving me towards the man.


Wrapping my arms around the man's waist quickly so I could next wrap my legs around him pulling on him, causing us both to fall from his horse onto the ground. He squirmed to move me from him as I pulled a dagger from my rob and stuck it right into his neck. A hand soon appearing near my face helping me up. "You Germans are savages." Rhaskos spoke to me.


"Coming from a Gaul, I take that as compliment." I chuckled. "It was meant as one." He said as he moved onto the next Roman.


Rushing back towards where I saw my brother last I reached him only to see a Roman advance on his back. I was about to warn him when Nasir drove a sword right through the man's back, impressing Agron. "You favor clever strategy, Fuck the man from behind." He told him as he noticed me behind him. "Do not run off like that."



Nasir smiled softly to him, a slight blush softly growing on his cheeks. "Your sister fights as you do. An animal." Rhaskos told him as he ran past us towards where the last few Roman's were being killed off by Spartacus and Crixus'.


"I did only what I could to impress your brother." I told him, "I took down two Romans."


Nasir looked at me with a smile, one Agron noticed before looking back towards me. "I believe that leaves you at a total of eight Roman lives?" He told me with a smile causing my own to grow tenfold. "Yes, seven or eight now." I told him as he moved towards me, "With many more to come sister."
