fellow gladiator and friend to Marcus,stocky build with a missing eye,loyal and humorous

old lion,befriended by Marcus,large and regal with a graying mane,gentle and wise

The roar jolts me awake, sending a wave of pain through my head.

I groan, rolling over on the pallet to find myself face to face with an old lion.

His whiskers brush against my cheek, and I reach up to gently push him away.

"Leo, my man. I’m trying to sleep. Go find Gaius."

The lion blinks at me, looking annoyed that I’m not getting up to play.

But then he yawns, showing off his sharp canines, and stretches out on the pallet beside me.

I wrap my arms around him, closing my eyes as his warm fur soothes my aching head.

I can’t believe this is my life.

A few months ago, I was fighting in the Colosseum for the entertainment of Rome’s masses.

Now, I’m retired and living in a small house with an old lion as my companion.

It’s not something I ever could have imagined for myself.
