Under the stone vault where time seems suspended, the Roman bath reveals itself as a sanctuary of white marble, smooth and cold to the touch, but softened by the warmth of pure, crystalline water. The surface ripples slowly, disturbed by swirls of steam that rise with a mystical slowness. Sunbeams, filtered through high windows, pierce the misty air in golden blades, shattering into a thousand shards of light on the liquid mirror. Each reflection, each glimmer, is a fractured truth. And at the heart of this flickering clarity, one might glimpse a pair of eyes - two eyes of deep blue, as clear as water under the sun. But that deceptive blue, so pure in appearance, conceals the icy abyss of an unyielding will. For these are not the eyes of a god, but those of a tyrant, and the gleam that dances within them is not the light of virtue, but the shimmer of power.

Commodus x OC

My story is my own, it belongs to me and is inspired by the original work Gladiator.

"Rome was built on the backs of the obedient. Loyalty, fear, and power-these are the pillars of the empire. Those who defy me will see how quickly pillars can crush them." ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ In the shadow of Rome's Colosseum, amidst the blood-soaked sands of rebellion and tyranny, Sabina Marcellina dares to defy her fate. Betrothed to Emperor Geta-a man as cruel as he is powerful-Sabina is expected to play the dutiful noblewoman, a pawn in the grand game of politics and power. But Sabina is no ordinary noblewoman. With a fiery spirit and a thirst for freedom, she dreams of breaking free from the gilded cage of her life. When she crosses paths with Lucius, a gladiator fighting not only for survival but for the soul of Rome itself, everything changes. Drawn to his courage and unyielding defiance, Sabina becomes entangled in his rebellion against the corrupt emperors. Together, they ignite a spark that threatens to topple the empire's foundations. axgelpetrova, gladiator two
