Well, Maximus, and Tigris fought, and as expected, by me, Maximus won, but in a weird way. What he did was this; first, Tigris saluted, but Maximus didn't, he just rubbed his hands with sand. After that, Tigris attacked, Maximus blocked, and they they were very soon in an intense battle, and they would none stop keep blocking, and attacking each other, as if they were a perfect match. But then a surprise came up, and living tigers came up out of the ground from trap doors. one by one, four came up surrounding each corner of the coliseum. they were held back by Paetorian guards behind cages, but the guards started cheating. When Tigris got close to one of the Tigers, they pulled it back, but when Maximus got near one, they let it out closer to him, the audience noticed this, and demanded a fair fight. They stopped doing that, but instead let the tigers get closer, bit by bit. At the end Maximus succeeded, and let Tigris live even though the emperor gave the symbol to kill him. The emperor got mad at Maximus, and went up to him with his guards and they yelled at each other, and the crowd continued to yell, and shout, not knowing what the two were saying. So the emperor, knowing this, mocked Maximus's past, and the bad things that happened to him. Then Maximus said,"The time for you honoring yourself... will soon be over." Then a man named Cicero met with Maximus and told him where he was at, at the time. Cicero was a friend of his.
This part is tragic in my eyes, but, one thing; the part where Maximus spares Tigris's life I thought was pretty cool, because usually when the emperor says to kill the opponent, they do! Anyways, the reason I thought it was tragic was because the emperor was making fun of Maximus, and was about to kill him on the spot, but tried to conceal his anger the best he could. Maximus left before the emperor decided to do anything, which the emperor thought was rude, of course, because your not suppose to turn your back on an emperor.
invariably: changing, or to change subject.
