*NOTE: SET IN ANCIENT ROME*
"It's okay, kamarad , the pain doesn't last long. It'll be over soon."
Aedan's best friend, Drustan, holds a knife against his throat, the blade cool against his skin. He had been fighting at his back a moment ago, helping the young Celt fight against the Roman forces that would destroy his clan. But now Drustan had spun around and wrapped an arm around Aedan's neck, holding the knife to his throat.
"Why are you doing this?" Aedan asks quietly, "I thought of you as a brother"
"If I help them, the Romans promised they wouldn't hurt my family." Drustan replies "I have to kill you. You'd only stop me. Goodbye, kamarad"
Everything goes black.
Aedan woke up to the shouting of a guard, the Latin words a stark contrast to the comforting words of his own language, the ones from his dream.
After his best friend had tried to kill him, he had survived. Roman soldiers had found him and taken him as a slave. Deciding he had been fit enough to fight in the arena, he had been bought by a gladiator trainer. He had been eighteen when that happened. He was now twenty-three now. Five years in slavery had broken him.
He reached up one hand to feel his clipped ear, the mark of his slavery. He was back in the real world. The smell of blood still filled his nostrils but the shouting of battle was no longer there.
It would be time to start training soon.

Aestas walked through the hallways of the palace.

[North, I might need a bit longer than a sentence. I was sort of hoping for someone who could do at least 10 lines of roleplay? It's just that I'll be doing all the work if your replies are 8 words long]

Aestas walked through the hallways of the palace. She heard from her father they got a new slave. Her Suliki which was brought from Egypt followed along. "How come we need slaves?" thought Aestas. "Can't we hire servants?"
