He then stood up with me and grabbed his camera. Let the tour begin. * * * * * * * * Today had been eventful, amazing and beautiful to say the least. Leonardo had planned it all out. He got tickets to the Roman Colosseum which was surprising not far from the Panella cafe. Leonardo was my tour guide. He told me that the Roman Colosseum was a large amphitheatre that housed up to 65,000 spectators in the Roman days. This was where the famous Roman gladiatoral combats were held followed by the bloody, gory and murderous death.

The giant crumbled to the ground, his roars of pain echoing through the colosseum. The spectators, initially shocked by the unexpected turn of events, erupted into wild cheers as Alcides stood over his fallen opponent. The master of dodging had once again defied the odds and triumphed over a seemingly invincible foe. The Roman audience, known for its love of spectacle, reveled in the display of skill and bravery.

I decide to walk toward them and try to listen. ''Built in 72 A.D, the Colosseum has remained the largest amphitheater in the world and is considered to be Rome's most popular tourist attraction. Standing as the iconic symbol of Ancient Rome, this monument that once hosted the inhuman ¨games¨ of man vs. beast, is considered a Modern day Wonder!

On the bright side, anyone could learn magic, something I was excited to start soon. As I stared at the television, I saw a spec slowly starting to grow. It was as if the screen was bleeding, the crimson color covering the reporter until the entire thing was blotted out. I widened my eyes as some of the redness dripped away to reveal a black circular symbol with a red flame in the center. Frozen in time, staring at the screen, time went much faster around me, everything just a blur of colors. I was locked in place, unable to move as some of the stuff melted away to reveal a crimson eye peeking out from behind the cult symbol.

Clara As I watched the Coliseum fights, I understood why werewolves were willing to kill themselves to get in. There was a heady atmosphere that stirred my pumping blood. Warriors of every size and race fought down in the sandy pits. I saw creatures that I had only seen in books: monitor lizards, tigers, lions, and panthers. The Coliseum wasn’t just a gladiator free-for-all. There were circus acts of skilled acrobats leaping in the air, knife jugglers, and jesters. Drummers kept a steady tempo that thrummed throughout the entire stadium, and musicians blew trumpets when a fighter triumphed over his opponent.

The Coliseum was forged from the nails and bones of the dead infused with scorched metal, dark magic and enchantments that prevents escape, teleportation and healing. At its centre, an altar of thick red blood glows with the essence of souls lost in combat, forever trapped. The Coliseum was filled with spectators from all over the world, waiting with impatient excitement. The thousands of loud and erratic voices were absorbed into the cursed stones walls that stored every scream of victory, pain and death.

They reached the top of the stairs where they could see down into the main arena and the maze-like walls within it. "The arena floor has long since been removed from the Colosseum. It used to consist of wood and a layer of sand to absorb the blood from the multiple battles that this landmark has seen," the tour director said, gesturing to the arena below. "Brutal," Mia commented, leaning over the edge of the balcony. "Yeah, I couldn't imagine watching something so macabre," Layla commented, shading her eyes with her hand. The class moved on and continued the tour through the observation balconies. On the other side of the Colosseum, someone in the dark shadows of a stone alcove watched as La

The rich history and the cultural difference was exciting as I noticed the people, the vibrant colors, the decorations in the shops and other things that stood out. And with each passing moment, I felt myself getting excited to explore this place more thoroughly, because something told me that I was going to fall in love with this city and this country. And as the car took a turn, my lips parted and I stared at the majestic sight of the Colosseum. Cole slowed the car and I greedily took in the towering stone arches illuminated against the night sky like a beacon of ancient glory. “It’s beautiful...” I whispered in awe. “Mm...hmmm. So fûcking beautiful.” I turned to glance at him and shook my

Dominic spoke up, “It's a city of debauchery and extravagance, where extravagant gambling and seductive beauties are commonplace. The most unusual thing is the beast colosseum.” “What is the beast colosseum?” “It's a place with towering walls and high platforms for the amusement of the wealthy. Anyone entering must bet at least tens of millions!” “Bet? What are they betting on?” Harmonia asked again. “They're betting on how long a human can hold out in front of the wild beast…” As soon as Harmonia heard this, her eyes widened instantly. A fight between a human and a beast?! Wasn't that equivalent to a sheep entering a tiger's mouth or a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot? It was obvious

It was the friction of Grief. ​As the song filled the arena, the "Spectators" went silent. The multicolored sparks stopped flickering. The "Betting Odds" on the ticker began to scramble and glitch.
