The Slave's Gladiator (OH)
When death is everywhere, what will you do to survive? All Hadriana remembers is slavery. Her home burned to the ground, she now works the fields of the estate, keeping a low profile to survive. That is, until she attaches the attention of a famous gladiator. Kind, confident, and wanting her, he whispers promises of a different life, a life free from the Roman's hands. That is until his skeletons, more dangerous and more violent then Rome itself, show their faces wanting revenge. Learning to survive is hard, learning to move on is even harder. However, unless Hadriana wants to find herself buried six feet under, she's needs to learn how to do both before his skeletons drag them both under ground forever. Lovely cover done by @final_girl13

After having her family killed in front of her and being taken to the distant Arena, young blood elf Alera was faced with the same two choices.

I've been a fan of the game for a long couple of years (my favourite race being - you guessed it! - blood elves), but despite that i will not cover any major, known characters in my story.

You can still check out the story as I have explained most of the specific concepts/details of the game. And with this out of the way, thanks again and please enjoy!
