-
How can you keep besting a man so far above your station?
-
I sprung from my mother with sword in hand.
-
The ways of battle are second nature
-
Passed down from father to son.
-
I regret my own father never saw the advantage of military glory.
-
Never saw the spoils that could be won.
-
The patronage the alliances forged had he taken up arms.
-
He aspired to be no further than what he was.
-
A simple lanista far from Rome.
-
You and I however.
-
We have fashioned wings to raise us higher
-
Than the muck and mire of heritage.
