BLOOD SHED(gxg)

BS 4

I swing my sword harder and harder and slash through the dummy I had made two years ago for more training regiment and eventually slice the standing pole and made the dummy fall on the ground.

I sighed and breathe as the trickling sweats on my forehead to my face and all over my body dance with the warm wind of the afternoon. It was a full day of training since I decided to enter the gladiator enter challenged tomorrow morning this past three days.

I remembered how that Hector who called himself a champion humiliated and tried to harassed not only me but also both the twins which lead them into their now traumatized quite self and fortunately I didn't know what exactly he told him to both the twins but there was something that made the twins not into their selves.

Master Lars being a gladiator was a big surprised to me and nor just a normal gladiator but a legendary championed gladiator until he had disappeared haft a decade ago. No wonder some people had a face of recognition and familiarity in them.

We were on our way to buy some stocks since Master Lars suggested we won't be coming here often. We bought some spices and other necessities that are only here on the capital and I've noticed some recognized him while doing a double look.

"Hey big sis, I want some of those breads", Heli exclaimed as she grab my cloak and pointed at the stall beside us which sells different kind and size of breads.

" No big sis, I want one of those grilled fish",Deli exclaimed on my left as she too tugged my cloak and pointed at the stall not far away from us who sells cooked and grilled fish. Though I can't deny that the smell is exquisite in the air.

I smiled and nodded at them and we walked to the bread stall first for Heli before we got permission from Master Lara who just nodded and waved his hand to shoo us away.

We bought some and enough for the four of us and I paid the very nice old lady who added an extra one. We went next to the stall where they sell the grilled fish and immediately went towards Master Lars after paying the nice man when we noticed he was not alone and talking to a huge and muscular man with thick and heavy armour that was covered by his worn out cloak.

As we walked closer we heard the man saying unpleasant and profanity words at Master Lars who kept his calm and said not a single word but his eyes says the opposite though.

"You know you are a weak cowardly bastard that left, do you know what the people think at first after you left me a challenger back then without a fight and defaulting me the winner?Huh?! They thought if you hadn't just left I wouldn't win against you but looked at you now legendary gladiator", he mocked him and tried to be the intimidate Master Lars who just stayed quite for a while now.

Both the twins hid and clutched my cloak harder when the big man laughed evilly without any care of the growing crowd.

" You are a coward-"

"He is not", I defended Master Lars calmly as I started to walked towards them and caught their attention. I still had my hood on as I glared discreetly at the huge man in front of me who just smirked at my way belittling me in his eyes.

"And who are you might be?", he asked but sarcasm was evident in his deep voice. Yes he was intimidating by the physical looks especially his huge physic and he know it was one of his advantage.

His eyes then landed at the twins on my side who immediately shrieked when he grinned evilly at them as he slowly leaned his flight and big hands on them but I grab a hold of his elbow which caused him to huffed and grab his elbow away from my grip forcedly.
