Petronus now turned towards the arena and said in a
loud voice for all to hear, "Agrippina we have a worthy
opponent for you! This Nubian woman has just defeated four strong and
brave non-Roman woman. Now we want you to show her the strength of a
Roman women in naked combat!"
Agrippina turned and looked at Xhana for the first time. She saw a
tall naked dark skinned Amazon of a woman with a muscular body,
very short dark hair and a thick black pubic bush. She knew immediately that
this woman would be a hard and brave fighter and that she would need all
her skills to win. Despite her concerns, she replied confidently, "Your
Honour it will give me pleasure to defeat this Nubian for your glory and
for the glory of Rome! How shall we fight?"
The Governor's eyes followed Agrippina's gaze down to where the Nubian
stood naked in the arena. "You will fight naked with no weapons, until
one of you can go no further. No hold or blow is forbidden! The winner
will get 100 ducats and I will decide the fate of the loser!"
Agrippina bowed deeply to Petronus saying "Your word is my command
Honour!"
Then Agrippina whirled round and made her way to the back of the royal
box disappearing from view through the door which was guarded by two
tall guards. |
