Mevia was sold as a slave at an early age. She was passed on from one owner to another. Then, she was peddled to be trained as one of the female gladiators. The training was harsh and strenuous. When she first entered the tunnel to the stadium, spectators were booing and clapping at the same time. They were expecting bloodshed and tough fighting. She won her first battle. Soon, she was entertaining people by hunting boars in the arena with spear in hand and breasts exposed. That was her life until the time when she was killed by her challenger. (100 words)

    Not a happy life, Mevia’s! I wonder if she now haunts that tunnel…

    Alas.. the only reward for winning a fight is the next.. it can only end one way.

    Fight to the death… no matter how many fights it takes. What a blood-thirsty crowd they were back in those days!

    It sounds like Mevia had a very tough life. I hope she managed to claw a few moments of happiness from amidst the misery. An interesting story. 🙂
