(OOC: Just note this is first time you meet/hear about Leonidas, I intended this is his entry post and arrival to in service of Dominus Magnus)<br/><br/>Leonidas sat on the wooden cage on the cart which was driving on the blasted dry heat, his naturally pale skin had already once scorched by the same sun day earlier and his skin was all sensitive and itchy on shoulders and back. His arms and legs got burned already day before that and seems Leonidas is now going through stages taking on a tan in most painful fashion. He had been given minimal amount of water to survive but not prosper, as he felt weak like a kitten from being cooked alive while wearing only a loincloth. His wavy blond hair which reached to his shoulders and it itched under it.<br/><br/><em>I pray I have not got flees already and it's just a itchy feel of a dry skin.</em><br/><br/>His eyes were half-closed to narrow slits, so his steel grey eyes could be barely seen. He dozily noted his surroundings and moved and spoke very little but avoided to fall asleep, especially in this heat he could pass out and fall to eternal sleep and one thing what he was not interested in was dying.<br/><br/><em>I am sure the idiot will make another error and then they investigate my statement in court and realize their error, if not investigated by my mother or friends at least and pressure on it. I just need survive it to occur if gods will it.</em><br/><br/>The cart eventually slows down, Leonidas notices it is a estate somekind, a estate of wealthy man and he had heard whom he has been sold to; Dominus Magnus. He heard he had other gladiator slaves and he heard a familiar sounds of practices, mixed with words of taunts and curses of the practitioners. A familiar sound which comforted him somewhat as he was used similar sounds from being legionnaire. he felt cage opened and pair of strong hands grip his hands and drag him out like a sack and instantly tie his arms on leather bindings. Even if he was in weakened condition from the trip still. He felt a rough hand grab his chin and say; "Eh, quite young and pretty one....your sure this is a guy? Pretty boy here."<br/><br/>Leonidas, even if worn from rough travel was young, handsome and he had regularly kept himself shaved and beard did not grow easily either because of his young age or because of genes. Plus he disliked to have beard none the less. However man's comment stirred him wake enough open his eyes bit further. See a bald black man giving lecherous grin and say; "I think I am going break this one in tonight...he looks juicy." A panic settled on Leonidas! He had expected to submit to his master and obey but to get raped in his own cell when he had no chance to fight back against a foreigner who worked for pay for Magnus had not occurred! It placed his dignity over survival instantly and even weakened state he gathered enough adrenaline on pair of moves; a unexpected swift sweeping kick on black man's groin section, man howling in pain and leaning forward.....and Leonidas then leap his head towards his shoulder and snatch his teeth and jaws on man's sweaty side of his throat!<br/><br/>The dark skinned retainers howled second time and cursed; "<em>Verpa</em>! Get his jaws off me! He is bred roman but acts like rapid dog!" And so the retainers started unhinge Leonidas off the dark skinned retainer who had recovered from painful kick to his privates but was now struggling get Leonidas clenched jaws and teeth off from his skin without tearing him off. The curses of the retainers carried off to practice yard and draw the ire of doctore who was watching the proceedings in field but seeing everyone distracted by the curses and watching struggle. Doctore comes to the retainers and says; "What is this ruckus about? Is one slave reason for all this noise?"<br/><br/>However seeing that despite several attempts to break Leonidas hold; between kicking, punching, pinching his nipples and also twisting his arms or legs did not cause him unclench his jaw. As he he has already chewing and attempt tear the dark man's skin off! Also his jaws hurt and felt stuck; Leonidas could not unclench willingly even if he wanted to. Whenever he howled in pain he growled it against the skin which his teeth had taken mouthful off. They started apply clubs, whips and some directed also on his head. Hoping concussion would knock his teeth off the man. But even if one solid hit from club knocked to vision black and blurry and roll his eyes on his head his teeth remained sinked to the flesh and already blood dripping out. Doctore grew inpatient and with holding the dark skinned retainer he ordered the other retainers pull Leonidas before he chews the throat more deeply. With combined effort of four men Leonidas jaws snapped, with small piece of flesh between his teeth and dark skinned man pressing on profoundly bleeding wound while he was escorted to visit healer in the house who took care of the injured gladiators or retainer this case.<br/><br/>Leonidas other hand was now half-concious, bruised and still got good kicks on his ribs but doctore interfered, dead slave was useless slave and said he is going suffer in sands soon as possible. But now he was carried off being branded and later on Leonidas was grateful he was not conscious when they pressed burning hot iron on his shoulder blade with a sizzle. Then place his partly conscious form into a shadowed cell until he is checked out by doctore and healer later to determine his condition. Along with informing Magnus reason for all ruckus and inform about his new slave purchase along with a name and price, along with notion slave was born roman. Half-greek and half-roman. Also former legionnaire.
