The Romans

I was alone in my hut, in the dead of night, when the Romans came.

They captured me and took me on the 13 hour journey to Rome in hot sticky weather . When we got there the soldiers manhandled me into my Colosseum cell. Five minutes later the soldiers gave me a sword and told me to survive. The first opponent I was up against was Pluto. I cut him down within 10 minutes. Bloody bruised and battered I limped back to my cell.

In my cell there were three other gladiators, they were and big and hairy like me. There names are Aegus, Agrona and Angharad they say they have been ripped from their hut too. We were all from Brittany. Aegus, Agrona and Angharad had concocted an escape plan. The plan is absolutely flawless.We would have to kill four guards and steal their clothes, free all the prisoners and then escape.

We put our plan into action the following night. We waited for the guards to give us our dinner. As the guards opened the cell door we strangled them to death with our hand cuff chains and cut the chains with their swords. As we changed our clothes I thought everything was running smoothly until, two guards came. I killed then both with one swift chop.When we freed all the prisoners we loaded them into a cage on the back of the cart as a disguise.

After we had left Rome we opened the cages and freed the prisoners they thanked us hugely. Then Aegus, Agrona, Angharad and I went our separate ways but we vowed to meet again.
