(continued) As I said before, in my opinion paragraph I thought war was going to start, and as predicted, it did (of course). First, Proximo walked serenely on and walked upstairs to his chamber, the keys that Proximo gave Maximus, he gave some to Juba, and they were out, freeing the others immediately, then after freeing Haken, Maximus turned and ran through the outside door! Juba and Haken(gladiators) threw themselves between the guards, and Maximus as he attempted to make his way either to escape, or to the emperor. Even without weapons, the gladiators still attacked the guards, enduring slashes, and attacks from the Preatorian guards, covering Maximus, until he made it all the way to the end of the compound tunnel. And at the end of the tunnel, And stairway, he found his sword, and armor, meanwhile, Haken took a sword from the guard, and threw him into the horde of gladiators, and Juba cracked one of the guards skulls, and another's arm with his hammer-like fists, and knocked another unconscious, once they all made it to the training yard, the captain yelled out to the archers to fire from the roof tops, and then,... they hsot Haken at farly close range, with four shots hitting him from torso front to back. He looked down in disbelief, and then tumbled down, and blocked a narrow pathway. During this, Preatorians bounded the winding stairway to Proximo's chamber. They burst through the doors, and had swords ready to instantly kill him, but found the warrior at his desk, with his back turned, knowing that his time has come. They mercilessly stabbed him three times in the back, and neck. that's where he died. Now; Maximus took the tunnel below Proximo's gladiator school, hearing the sound of war behind him. All suited up, he climbed cautiously up the stairs, and into a low archway between Proximo's compound, and the high city walls. He waited for a little, and suddenly he heard the sound of pursuing footsteps, they had broken through the gladiators.
Well, as expected, the guards finally came to execute Maximus, everything I thought would happen, and more did. But what I didn't expect was that Haken dies, I thought that if all these people made it this far, that they would be able to survive the guards attacking them, especially Haken and Juba. I understand that a man can only take so many arrows, and one through the neck is enough, but it was still very unexpected, atleast for me. A lot is happening in this chapter. I'm still waiting to see 1. who dies next (mian character), and 2. will Maximus die, which for some reason I think he will. I don't know why. Any ways, I'm almost positive that the emperor will die, because Maximus kind of Made a promise to himself, and just the fact that he's a really good fighter.
