After winning another battle in the coliseum, Maximus was allowed to have a little 'reward' of sorts. He thought about what that meant all day as he sat with his other men, pondering over what the reward could be. He was a bit nervous, but not really at the same time. He was a gladiator, he could take whatever the reward was.

After getting taken out of the pit of other gladiators by two guards, he was led to a lone bedroom where nobody would be around. He was tossed in, and the door was shut and locked. It was dusk by this point, a small lantern only illuminating the room. As he turned around to survey the room, he saw another man on the bed, looking a bit scared.
