<strong>Repercussions… every action causes a reaction </strong><br/><br/>It took some time, but the body of Bastian was taken to a cooler place, Matriana was still sobbing, and she would have everything she wished now, after all her husband had died under the roof of this ludus. This was certainly a plan coming to fruition. The question now was who she might have…such a though, and the power that was in her very hand was most exciting….more than exciting, it was perhaps like an aphrodisiac for this woman.<br/><br/>Once dressed, she allowed Amplus to be dressed too, and even offered a little comfort, after all she was not completely cruel, and Amplus had been his lover, for many years… “Come …” she said once they were dressed they made there way to the balcony.<br/><br/>It seemed there was a small display on, though not Rome one could not expect much from a place such as this.  Later the woman would call her price and it would not be cheap. Yes there would be the beheading, of course it was only a common slave, and worth little. The other display was far more interesting. Matriana watched on Gladiators being tied to a post …to be flogged by their ‘friends’ how beautifully cruel. Her interest was on this now for the moment. How exciting….It seemed though that this Dominus did have a backbone. Useful…very useful.<br/><br/>Whatever crimes had been caused for this were little consequence, it merely pleased her . Matriana liked a show.<br/>
