Slaying the Shadowmane

Over the course of the next couple of weeks, more humans were dragged into the Ludus for the sake of training more gladiators. After all, they had already lost the majority of their supply. The need for fresh blood in the Arena increased as the bloodlust of the barbaric races humans referred to as monsters continued to increase. Those who held the mark of the brotherhood were eating their gruel while watching the recruits conduct the same backbreaking training they themselves had been through just recently. 

Alex as always was sitting alone, whereas the remaining of the gladiators from the first batch of recruits were sitting at a separate table, enjoying each other's company and socializing, while closely observing the state of the new initiates and betting on which ones would manage to survive, and become official gladiators.
