Description
"Claudius might be a Centurion, but he is an inexperienced one. He cannot lead the Ferrum Aquilae like Marcus did." The Lord Warden stated and looked to her generals. She looked at Tetraites "You were his Second-in-Command, Tetraites. Can you find someone who is competent enough to lead them like he did?" The Gladiator uncrossed his arms and stood "As a matter of fact, I do have someone in mind. Follow me to the arena, Lord Warden." The Warden and her generals stood to follow the Gladiator.Once they've reached the arena. They saw Gladiators fighting left and right, trying to prove which one of them is superior. Tetraites raised his hand "Desino!" The fighters stopped and stood in front of Tetraites. The Gladiator General brought his hand down "Where is Severina?" A female Gladiator marched forth and stopped in front of him. Tetraites nodded and turned to the rest "Resumo!" The fighters gave a salute and went back into fighting "Severina, I'm sure you have heard of what happened to Marcus." The Gladiatrix nodded "As per his will, you are to inherit everything he once owned. His quarters, personal belongings and command of the Ferrum Aquilae. He left a little something for you, should he fall in battle. It's in his quarters. Follow me." The Knights arrived at Marcus' Quarters. Inside, Stone leaned by the door with his arms crossed, Holden was standing in attention, Mercy watches near the shadows, The Warden sat on the chair by Marcus' desk and Severina was standing in the center. Tetraites was at the side of the bed, where a large chest was seated. He took something out and held it in front of Severina. She took off her helmet and let it fall to the floor. Gently, she took the Galea and traced her finger on it. "Ég er þræll þinn, en við þig, ég er systir þín. Styrkur og heiður, bróðir." The Knights were shocked to hear her speak the Warborn Tongue. Tetraites decided to explain "She was a young, Valkyrie. Not enough experience like the ones we fought, but enough to peak Marcus' interest. After the Legion sacked her village. Those who survived were turned into slaves. But Marcus took her in as his own and taught her to be a warrior. He treated her as his equal and so did the rest of the Aquilae. He brought her to me because of her weapon of choice and I taught her to be a Gladiator. Marcus cares for her enough to call her sister. And I've no doubt she sees him as her brother and not her owner. He told her that once he returns with the Aquila, he will give her the symbol of her freedom." Tetraites stood in front of the Gladiatrix "He had this made for you. He also had an armor that was to be given to you when you are ready to lead. You can find it inside that cabinet." Severina nodded and opened the cabinet, revealing a black lorica musculata, a Gladius, a small, square shield with designs and a silver mask. The mask mirrored the scars on Severina's face. She took the armor and wore it over her tunic. Once she finished putting the armor on, Tetraites faced her and said "Take your helmet and put it on. Wear it with pride." Severina brought the Galea on her head and lowered the mask "Severina Valerius Felix, sister of Marcus Quintus Valerius Felix. As his will states, you are to be his successor when he has passed. Your days as a Gladiator and slave are over. Today, you are a free woman. Today, you are a leader. Today, you are a Centurion. Today, you are a Daughter of Mars!" Severina brought a fist to her chest "Mars me adiuvat!"
Rough(and by that I mean Google)Translation: I am a slave, but to you, I am your equal. Strength and honor, Brother.
