Arena of Lust (MF, rom, v, history)
Original Author: Nica (c) 2001

***

In ancient Rome gladiator games were highly popular. The 
new imperator Caligula was one of most feared dictators 
the world became to know. He loved deadly, bloody 
gladiator games. The games began in the morning with 
animal hunts and Christian burnings and found their 
height at sundown, when the gladiators walked in the 
Circus Maximus to stroke their swords and spears into 
each other's flesh...

I may introduce me now... my name is Maximus... I am a 
gladiator for about three years now. Once I was living 
in a small village in Germanicus. Germanicus is, as is 
every part of Europe, inhabited by Romans. 

I was captured when I was trying to kill a roman 
centurion who wanted to rape a woman of my village. I 
sliced his rotten body up with my knife but I was 
outclassed by a troop of Romans coming by. I had another 
name back then but I can't recall it anymore... it all 
seems so long gone... I was chained and sold to a slave 
ring and finally became trained as a gladiator. 

At first I was deported to Africa, to Algeria... the 
small thing compared the Circus in Rome. I was always 
talented with the sword and the training there in Africa 
sharpened my talents and my instinct to kill. I even 
learned to kill slowly to amuse the masters and that's 
why I despise myself... but I'm drifting...

There in Algeria I got to know the woman who should be 
my lonely love, my design for life, my essence, the 
reason why I lived. She was born in a place I think they 
call now Lebanon, but soon traveled to Gallicum and was 
deported to Algeria for killing her husband, a Roman 
centurion, too, who did not treat her well... so we had 
something in common. She was trained to be a gladiatrix, 
which was the newest, hottest thing over there in 
Rome... and her name, as sweet as herself, was Rachel...

The moment we met I'll never forget ever... I was doing 
practice with wooden stakes and swords when she arrived 
together with other women, soon to be gladiatrices... 
our eyes matched for a second and I was captured and 
thrilled by her beauty... I saw a blink in her eyes and 
then a wooden sword hit me painfully in my belly... 

"You're dead, Maximus, why are you sleeping?" my 
gladiator-friend Demetrius laughed. "You shouldn't look 
at those women... you know that we're never allowed to 
touch them. Come on, get ready again!"

I grabbed my sword again and looked again at Rachel, but 
she and all the other women had already been brought to 
their dark chambers. I couldn't forget her face and if 
my intuition wasn't wrong I remarked a certain reaction 
in her face, too.

For some time we only saw each other during our walk to 
the training or when we were transported to various 
little arenas. I wasn't wrong as she constantly smiled 
at me when our eyes met. I was already fallen in love. 

My informants told me that she was the best gladiatrix 
around and it was said that I was the best gladiator, 
too, which gave us both some preferences which others 
didn't have. We were seen as being sort of "valuable" to 
our masters as we could be sold one day to Rome for a 
high price.

One day I begged my master as being offered one night my 
love Rachel. I just had thought a wild, furious round at 
a small arena over the ruins of Carthago and my master 
was very pleased with me as I defeated and sliced the 
best gladiator from one of his worst slave trader 
opponents... I was given my pleasure...

I was brought to a small, dark chamber which carried 
nothing more than a small window and an old bed. I was 
told to wait. Meanwhile the moon had risen above the sky 
and a small red planet, which is now known as the Mars, 
right beneath him. The mars shined a bit of red and I 
had never seen this planet before. I was interrupted 
staring at the sky when the lock of the door was 
removed... Rachel walked in, wearing an old dress, 
barefoot and surely not knowing what was awaiting her. 
It was dark and she couldn't see while my eyes were 
already adapted to the darkness by the moonlight.

"Rachel..." I said.

"Maximus?" She sounded surprised, well surprised... "How 
did you arrange this?" I could see her smile... oh, what 
a delight!

"You know about my victory today and I asked Tiberius 
for the pleasure of your assistance tonight".

"And so asked to meet me?" she asked.

"Yes, as I have never seen a woman more beautiful than 
you..." I mumbled, my heart was beating madly.

She didn't answer.

"I love you," I whispered.

"I know."

Silence.

After a while I asked "And you?"

"Well, don't you know? Didn't you notice how my eyes 
swallowed your body?"

I sighed. I became aroused.

She slipped of her dress. She was completely naked. The 
moonlight bathed her slim body in silver. Her small 
breasts showed erect nipples pointing towards me. Her 
breath became faster. She came over me. I put my arms 
around her... kissed her gently... she opened her mouth 
and our tongues greeted themselves for the first time. 
She tasted so sweet, her body was full of live. And as 
we united, I knew I was at home... there was my destiny.

As the dawn crawl into the next day we had promised each 
other. We would fight and we would kill... we would kill 
to be free one day.

The next weeks were wonderful. I loved seeing Rachel 
fight in the arena. I was not afraid of her. Her skills 
and her talent were outrageous. We had very similar 
techniques. We were both not that strong and muscle-
packed like other gladiators and gladiatrices. I had 
learned pretty soon that no muscle could match steel. 
Rachel and I were moving fast, we followed a strategy of 
weaken, tiring our enemies. We both started many fake 
attacks and then moved back fast. 

The swords and the other weapons were heavy, so our 
opponents soon became burned out... tired... then we 
took our chance to kill them with an exact blow of the 
sword... or, as Rachel did, with a spear.

One day Tiberius called me to tell me great news... 
Rachel and myself were chosen to go to Rome, to fight in 
the great Circus Maximus. We both were thrilled, as we 
knew that if we survived, one day they would let us free 
from slavery and become honored roman citizens.

Rome was a magnificent city... the market displayed 
fruits and animals I've never seen before in my life. 
All was very healthy there. The city of the empire. Not 
that we saw the market often as we had to stay in our 
catacombs and at our training fields but once in a while 
we were given a few hours to walk around and taste the 
sweet things they offered there.

Rachel and me were hired as the first gladiator couple 
and the Roman civilians seemed to love that. The 
gladiators and gladiatrices there were strong, 
dangerous, wild and no match compared with the poor meat 
over there in Africa. But Rachel and me had given us a 
promise... the promise not to die out there in the 
Arena. If we would die one day, it should be together.

The thought of living a life without her was 
unthinkable. A life without my love would be 
meaningless.

To our luck we became popular very quickly and so we did 
not have to fight and conquer the champions. The male 
champion was called Imperatus and the rumor was spread 
that he was set to be free soon. The female champion was 
a woman from Germanicus, like me. Her name was 
Annabella. I met her a few times and she didn't care at 
all that we came from the same country.

Her eyes were empty, no emotion displayed on her face, 
even when she left the arena after a vicious slaughter.

We had a good time in Rome and felt invulnerable. Our 
love kept us alive and together. But there was a certain 
feeling of discomfort that haunted me. Something told me 
that we had only a limited time left. That something 
dangerous and dreadful waited along the line. And soon I 
had to learn that I was right.

One day Tiberius called me in. His face was dark, 
sinister.

"Sit down, Maximus," he said in a low voice. I did as I 
was told.

"You know that next month there are the games for the 
gods of Rome?" I nodded. Everybody talked about it and 
it was sure that Caligula would give his people 
outrageous games for this special event.

"Maximus... you and Rachel are chosen to fight that 
day." I nodded. I had not expected anything else. "Your 
opponents are Imperatus and Annabella."

I swallowed dryly. "When they win, they will be set 
free."

I could not take breath. A fight for freedom meant it 
was a fight without mercy. A gladiator who was about to 
be set free had to kill in his last fight... no mercy, 
no thumbs-up, a fight to the death. Tiberius went on,
"Caligula claimed it first Champions vs. Lovers but 
decided to call it now different. The event is called 
now ARENA OF LUST. It is the highlight of the games and 
will take place during sundown on the last day of the 
games."

I was frozen.... Imperatus and Annabella... no, not 
those two... I closed my eyes, everything was black. As 
I opened them again I looked Tiberius straight in the 
face and said with a firm voice... "We will study them, 
learn their movements, their tactics... and on that 
day... we will kill them."

I stood up and left. Tiberius smiled. I didn't. The 
words sounded believable for him but I was not sure, I 
was not sure at all.

Rachel, my love didn't share my dark thoughts... "So, 
what?" she asked me, "If they kill us, we will both 
die... die together... being forever united in the 
eternity". She embraced me, kissed me.

She was right. I calmed down. If we had to die then it 
was the best for both of us to be killed within moments 
from each other.

Tiberius managed that we could spent all following 
nights together before one week of the combat. He told 
me it would not be wise to let us stay together all the 
time. "If you see her for the last time one week before 
the event, all your strength and your love will be 
spared for that evening. Your desire for her will be 
greater than ever before and hence, you will fight like 
never before." 

He paused, looked me straight in the eyes. 

"Maximus, you're my best gladiator... but I'm afraid you 
have no chance at all. The only thing which will keep 
you alive is the thought and your love for Rachel. So I 
hope you understand my decision." I nodded. I understood 
him perfectly and my affection for Tiberius grew. I had 
never thought that be could become my friend. Well, he 
was... now.

The last night Rachel and I spent together was exactly 
one week before our challenge at the great Circus. We 
made passionate love, gentle, softly. My tongue kissed 
every part of her delicious body. We had the desire to 
melt our bodies with each other and the passion finally 
overwhelmed us. Lust was born out of gentleness, the 
touches and grips became harder. 

My spear of flesh started ramming into her secret mouth 
harder... and harder. Our breaths and heartbeats grew 
faster and faster. The lust became unbearable and then 
we exploded, melted our bodies and our souls in 
pleasure. We faded out of the blue, into the black and 
into the light. All our senses were firing wildly. 

We screamed.... and finally met us again at the ground 
of silence. All said, all done, bound together... we 
would be together... we would live or we would die... it 
wouldn't matter anymore.

The problem with Imperatus was that he was taller, much 
more muscled and even faster in his moves than me. His 
moves were unpredictable. We kind of shared the same 
style but he fought for nearly a decade. I was an 
apprentice only, a rookie. He was the master.

Annabella was slim, skinny, tall and yet very strong. 
She was a master with the sword and the knife. She 
simply crushed spears or clubs with her sword to pieces 
and Rachel was best with a spear. Yet I believed Rachel 
was fast and clever enough to match her out. I prayed, I 
hoped.

It was a thing not to be outspoken... the moment one of 
us dies, the other would lay down the weapon and offered 
himself to be killed, too. We were told that the fights 
would be simultaneously, not one other the other. 
Caligula wanted a spectacle Rome had never seen before.

I can't remember the night and the day before the fight 
clearly. I found no sleep at night. It was hot and I 
missed my love, I had not seen for about a week. A full 
moon lighted my little chamber and I couldn't stop 
thinking about the next day. My thoughts moved to 
Rachel, always to Rachel.

The day wouldn't go away either. I'd trained in the 
morning a bit and at afternoon I was deported to the 
catacombs of the Circus. I was undressed and oiled-up, 
as usual. I was told to wait. Nothing happened. I could 
hear the spectacle above my head somewhere. I heard the 
crowds roar. The games seemed to be good.

Finally the guides arrived. 

"It is time now" a Centurio said with a somber voice.

"Where's my shields and my dress?" I wondered.

"No dress, no shield, only your sword."

That surprised me. I never fought naked before, but it 
looked like Caligula knew what he wanted exactly. I was 
guided to the big door of the Circus which lead to the 
Arena. I could hear the ceremony-master's voice as he 
introduced me.

"Citizens of Rome, the Emperor Caligula is proud to 
present you the ultimate battle of the games... THE 
ARENA OF LUST."

The crowd roared again. My nerves stringed. My throat 
was dry. I felt adrenaline being pumped through my 
veins.

"Here is Maximus!"

The door opened and I stepped into the Arena. A smell of 
blood and rotting flesh filled the air. It was near 
sundown. I glimpsed an edge of an orange sun, blinding 
me for a moment. I raised my sword and greeted the 
audience and the Emperor. I could see how the sand was 
drenched red from the previous games of this day. It was 
still hot and the sand felt comfortable under my feet.

There was an extra roar when the crowd noticed I was 
naked and I heard the giggling of some Roman women. I 
stood there. I was the first. The procedure was always 
the same. The least preferred gladiator came out first 
and this time it was I. I had hoped for some benefit 
having the crowd behind me but it looked like I was only 
an extra this time. Dispensable. Rachel and me. 

We were too young, to new to be famous... but good and 
liked enough to play the prey today. Imperatus and 
Annabella were deserved to win today... not the two of 
us. We had the bad luck of being lovers, making this 
game so special.

Then came to my surprise... Annabella. She was naked, 
too, wearing only her sword and a knife, bent on her 
left leg in a shield. She was a beauty, no question, but 
her hard face without emotions somehow made her ugly. 
She had long, blonde hair, bend together. Her little 
breasts swung as she marched quickly next to me, not 
offering me a single look. 

I didn't exist in her world. I felt the sudden urge to 
stab my sword into her ribs, right through her skinny 
body but that wouldn't have changed anything. But the 
thought alone let me feel lust, bloodlust... and lust 
for my love Rachel.

There she came... as she was announced, all hell broke 
lose. She was much more greeted by the audience as me or 
Annabella before. I was delighted... she had the crowd 
behind her.

My love was stark naked, her spear firmly in her hands. 
Her body shined golden in the last drops of sunlight. 
Her dark hair was bend together, too, and her grace 
turned the Arena to a wonderful place. Her firm breasts 
were swollen, her nipples were erect. She smiled at me 
and I was overwhelmed with insatiable lust for her. 

My manrod raised and the crowd cheered. I noticed it 
only somewhere back in my mind. Rachel went next to 
Annabella and as she was at my line, she looked at me 
and whispered, "I love you." My heart made a jump and a 
crush in a second. Rachel appeared infallible. I was 
sure she would win.

My thoughts were brutally disrupted by the announcement 
of Imperatus and the crowd got berserk. I never had 
heard such a noise before. He looked gorgeous, a sword 
in his hands. Flowers filled the air, thrown from the 
uncountable admirers of Imperatus.

When he stood beside me I glimpsed a look towards me. I 
didn't decipher that look. It seemed strange. A little 
sad... but happy... nevertheless... the look didn't 
suite.

The fanfares of the trumpets filled the air. We four 
stepped forward, raising our weapons to Caligula and 
said our verse... "We, who are about to die... salute 
you, Emperor of Rome!"

He nodded, stood up... and yelled "No mercy!" Only these 
two words. The crowd mumbled, astonished, then cheering.

The last game of the games could begin. Blood would be 
splattered, lives wasted.

I went to attack. I looked around to see what Rachel was 
doing. A sudden "whoosh!" near my ear. The crowd roaring 
the first time. Imperatus's sword nearly cut my ear off, 
but he only scratched my shoulder. It didn't matter. 

First blood was pouring. I was so surprised by this 
attack that I felt no pain. I only looked for an eye-
blink at my shoulder and Imperatus saw his chance 
immediately. I wondered why he hadn't kill me. He surely 
had the chance.

"Don't dream!" He said to me. "Don't you ever dare to 
dream in the Arena again!"

I understood the warning and nodded and yet, though... 
why didn't he kill me? It was his chance for freedom!

The dream we all had. Why?

I raised my sword, holding it with both hands, 
attacking. Imperatus moved back... very slightly. His 
feet didn't seem to touch the ground below his bare 
feet.

The crowd roared again... not because of us, something 
else had happened. My love was greater than everything, 
so I again looked around. I noticed blood dripping from 
Annabella's leg. The spear of my love had hit her! What 
a great gladiatrix I loved! I was to be envied.

I felt the elbow as it hit me right in the face. My nose 
broke and blood sprayed. I fell on my back. I saw 
nothing for a moment and the next thing I saw was a 
sword rushing down on me. I turned over and the sword 
only hit the sand.

"DON'T LOOK AT ME, YOU STUPID BOY!" Rachel screamed, 
breathing heavily. Her voice wasn't angry, it was full 
of fear.

I came to my feet again.

"Yeah, stupid boy," Imperatus mumbled.

"Why didn't you kill me?" I asked him. 

"Not a good show" he murmured. Then the fight took on 
again. This time Imperatus attacked, wielding his sword 
rapidly around. I defended myself the best I could. As 
our swords collided I thought his strength would break 
my arms. The metallic sounds deafened my ears, the blood 
tasted metallic, too, in my mouth. I couldn't hardly 
breath anymore. The fight had just began and I was 
exhausted. I moved away but Imperatus didn't lost my 
track. He was always behind me.

Again the crowd roared and this time the scream I heard 
was from Rachel. But this time I concentrated on myself. 
Would it had been a vicious wounding the roaring would 
have been much louder. Imperatus attacked again. This 
time I was able to out pass him. 

He hit next to me and I was able to kick him hard in the 
belly. I tried to behead him as he fell but suddenly he 
managed to kick my feet. I stumbled and fell, too, 
unfortunately losing my sword. Not Imperatus. He stood 
quick again, threatening me... I stood there without 
weapons. He whirled his sword, I ducked, dived under him 
and grabbed my sword again. The crowd applauded.

And again it was Imperatus to attack me. I felt like a 
rabbit in the sight of a snake. He stood in front of me 
but I could see what happened behind him. What I saw, 
delighted me. Annabella attacked. Rachel moved left, 
Annabella attacked to the left, Rachel quickly moved to 
the right, pushing the spear forward into Annabella's 
naked belly. Deep, very deep, she pulled it through her 
slim body. 

The bloodied end came off on Annabella's back. She stood 
there like a pierced butterfly and when my love pulled 
the spear out, she collapsed on the ground, streams of 
blood soaking the sand. I immediately got an erection 
from that sight. Oh, what a pleasure! 

I screamed and didn't hear the crowd anymore. I blocked 
Imperatus attack easily and as he raised his sword 
again, high over his head, my sword slashed his belly 
from left to right. I saw his surprised look as rivers 
of blood and guts fell in the dust. He collapsed.

A death cry interrupted me and I saw how Rachel sank 
Annabella's sword in her chest, right between her 
breast. Blood rushed down her ribs and her mouth, her 
body arched.

"Thank you," Imperatus whispered. I looked down on 
him. I had an enormous erection. "What?" I asked him.

"Thank you, son... for letting me find peace. That was 
all I wanted, not freedom... freedom... for what?" His 
eyes got blank. He died.

I never should know if she simply let me win or not and 
after all, it shouldn't matter.

I embraced Rachel, we kissed. I felt like heaven on 
earth. But than I noticed the silence. There was no 
cheering, no yelling... nothing. The crowd expected the 
freedom of two great gladiators this evening but tables 
did take a turn. A turn not wanted. Caligula raised from 
his chair.

"Civilians of Rome!" he began... "I promised freedom 
this evening and I will stand for my word... but..." he 
raised his arms... "only for ONE gladiator!"

I didn't feel anything anymore. "There are still two 
gladiators left, so the fight will continue!"

The crowd roared again and as I looked through the 
Circus all faces melted to the appearance of a wild 
animal, clutching his teeth. The animal was still 
hungry. The animal still wanted blood.

I looked into the eyes of my love. I saw disbelief and 
shock where there had been love and affection just a 
moment before.

"NOOOO!" I screamed, throwing my sword towards Caligula. 
It hit the end of the arena, just below his seat.

The archers appeared.

"Gladiator!", Caligula screamed, "if you don't fight, my 
archers will slaughter you and tonight I will rape your 
love... me and my guards.. all of them... before she 
will be thrown to the lions!"

Silence. I nodded. Bastard!

I approached Rachel, we looked in each other's eyes, we 
understood, we embraced, we kissed. The dagger of 
Annabella blinked in Rachel's hands... "Do it!" I 
whispered... "Push it deep and then turn the blade, my 
love." She didn't let her view sink, she still looked me 
straight in the eye and pushed the dagger in my belly. 
To the hilt. Then she twisted it inside me. 

I moaned and saw the tears in her eyes... she pulled it 
out, gave it to me... She whispered... "Do it... push it 
deep and than turn the blade, my love." The same words. 
I kissed her and next I rammed the blade in her 
beautiful, slim, open belly. I twisted the blade and 
pulled it out. We were both mortally wounded now. We 
would not die fast, but for sure.

Rachel sank to the ground... I followed her. I didn't 
know if the crowd cheered or not... everything else was 
gone.... except for Rachel. I kissed her. My lust was 
insatiable as was hers. We had a few minutes left and we 
wanted to enjoy every heartbeat we still had. I went 
into her. She was wet and warm and for the last time I 
could feel the sensation of being in her, being home... 
at last.

Our blood mixed, we felt no pain... only love, only 
desire as our souls were bend together for eternity. We 
made love for the last time on this earth. We embraced 
and held each other like children in a thunderstorm. 
Maybe our lives were full of death, but our love was 
pure and free of sin. 

I hold on till my love arched her body, moaning, showing 
me again her beautiful body, her erect nipples and her 
wonderful swollen breasts and the blood that ran down 
our bellies and sides only made her more beautiful. 

I let my sperm flow into her and as we both climaxed my 
last thought went to our child that would now never been 
born as their parents died in the same second as the 
roots for his life were planted. We went to the light, 
hand in hand into eternity.

                  - - - - - - - -

EPILOGUE

I heard Rachel's voice talking to me... "Wake up!"

I woke up but I saw not Rachel, but another woman, a 
nurse. I was told that I survived the evening in the 
Arena, but Rachel was dead. I was also told that I was 
free now.

The life is no life for me anymore. Rachel is gone. I'm 
here only for one task left. And my task is over as I 
write our story here.

I don't have the time to write for long, so I must make 
it quick.

I'm sitting in Caligula's room. Caligula is dead. His 
body is ripped open by my sword. His penis is stuck in 
his throat. I have locked the doors but the guards are 
near of breaking them.

I will open the door now and raise my sword once again.

I will die like I lived.

Like a gladiator.

And I want to see Rachel again.

Every heartbeat without her is so full of pain I can't 
stand anymore.

I want so see her again.

There.

On the other side...
