The Gladiator
"Stop! Stop, I surrender!" you shriek, throwing your weapon onto the ground. Velkadin stops advancing and looks surprised.
"You surrender?" he asked, looking as if he must have misheard you.
"Yes! Yes, I surrender!" you repeat, starting to feel a little foolish. The crowd gasp in shock. They have never seen an expert Gladiator surrender before. You make eye contact with that beautiful girl you saw before - she is shaking her head in disappointment.
Velkadin slowly puts away his weapon."...Alright then." he says, still a little stunned. Then, regaining his composure, he says, "Did I scare you, brother? Well then I suppose I beat you. Why don't you head back to the mansion and have a good cry? I'm sure you'll feel better after that."
