A Man’s Sword * W.M. Kirkland

melt in his mouth. No cut of beef had been so tender, nor so

flavorful.

The salad, with a cheesy, vinegar-type dressing, tasted

far better than Marius was used to experiencing. By the time

he’d eaten the entire meal, including a few more slices of

bread, he was willing to turn his attention back to his other

hunger. Apparently Gabriel had other ideas, because he put

the dirty dishes in one of the metal boxes, then nodded to

Marius. “Why don’t we go into the living room?”

“The living room?”

“Where we relax. Follow me.”

Marius allowed Gabriel to lead him to the living room,

though Marius supposed that someone would live in every

room of the house. Surely they didn’t have a room just for

dying.

Gabriel gestured to a large dark leather couch. “Sit

down if you like.” Gabriel sat down on one of the cushions

and stretched out his arm along the back of the couch.

Marius sat, leaning back into the plush fabric. It cradled

his body, and he thought everything in this time seemed so

much more rich and sensuous. Maybe their lives were easier,

and they didn’t have to reach out and seize the day because

death didn’t linger around every corner. Another big metal

black box sat across the room from the couch, and several

other comfortable-looking pieces of furniture sat around it.

More weaponry, highly polished, hung on the walls, and a

bronze bust of a Roman warrior sat on a dark wood table

placed against end of the couch.

Marius picked it up, marveling at its weight and

likeness. Not to him, but to a Roman warrior with its straight

nose, the helm, the patrician lips, and solid neck. The

likeness could have been any number of men in the

barracks. “This would have been a Provocator. My lanista

trained several of them.”

“Were you one?”
