How did you decide on all these names? Research? I like the plot of the Persians seizing control when the major part of the army left to do battle. Sounds like a good stately. Nice work.

Mikey, this is another fresh and exciting installment that displays the heart of at least one Roman. The language is rich with great descriptors. Well done, my friend. :0 GracieAnn

This work has reached the exceptional level

Perhaps you've already been a gladiator. Beating the lions and bears might be a bit harder. This is one of the best chapters, in my opinion. the interaction with the child made it real. There's always human experience in war..

Well, Gladiator Mike, this is a riveting chapter. I'm just sorry Flautarious had to lose his life.

A couple suggestions:

If the Romans had back up it would have arrived already. (Back-up should be hyphenated. "It" should be "they". People aren't "its".)

"Resistance was very little in all cases. The Roman soldiers did not yield without a fight." (This is a bit confusing. Was there little resistance or did they fight? You state it both ways.)

I thought I might as well review this one as well. I think I understand it better now. But these characters I don't know, just the two ghosts.

Great descriptions. I can picture the scene with the little boy and the giant Flautarvus. As always, this is another well crafted and interesting read. Good job.

Now this should be a twist- sound becomes master, vision the slave. Please bring them back to full interaction soon. I have to admit I got lost in the onslaught of names.

Gladiators had short life spans so try being am emperor or something a bit flashier and less dangerous. Great chapter. I found a couple of small nits you may want to look at:

Background
Tow souls encounter ...should be Two souls....

Martius made him out to be still stood over six foot tall ...this sentence doesn't read well. You may want to remove 'still stood' to make more sense...
