After the first fight, all the competitors cleared the field so the dead could be buried, wounds tended to, and weapons sharpened. The colosseum workers mill about the crowd handing out fresh bread and wine.
In the gladiators pit, unrest was brewing. Many of the fighters were already stars and famous for having won their freedoms. Enticed back to the ring by some dark magic (Mel is a witch after all right
@vetmedhead?). Others were intimidated by such fearsome foes. One such fighter decided that they would rather not meet a particular gladiator in battle, and decided to find a quiet moment to introduce a poison dagger to the gladiator's spine.
As Verus lay in the dark corner he was ambushed in, he could feel the poison seeping through his veins. His thoughts flashed back to his last fight. He had won his rudis, not in the traditional way of blood. But by way of friendship, mercy, and loyalty. However, as the life bled from him, his only regret was that he was dying alone.
