Edit: I forgot to post this but here is the lore:
The horizon burned with the rising of the sun. It's grand ascension every morning never ceased to amaze the man standing outside the door. This man, known as Lapidus, had been a fighter in the Colosseum for over 30 long years. He'd seen many things. He'd seen a man cleaved in two with an axe. He'd seen zombies devour a child in broad daylight. He'd even seen an unstoppable duo of fighters rise to the top of the Colosseum hierarchy.
Yes, proud men with great legacies were destined to find success in the Colosseum. Many of the ancient Caesars were themselves the subject of many a bard's song. There was Hector the Almighty, who, spear in hand, defeated 10 men in under an hour. They had sung of Alaric the Terrible, who once dismembered an opponent with his bare hands. And before the current age, there had been a man known as Marius the Fierce.
Marius was not a perfect man. This certainly could be said of any man, but Marius was especially noteworthy. He was a drunk, gambling womanizer who cared for nothing else besides wine, women, and bloodshed. However, people did not doubt his strength nor his barbarity. Marius had started his way from a commoner, and rode to the throne on a sea of blood. Marius cared little for human life. In fact, some say he was no human at all, but a demon.
Whether or not he was a demon or not, however, would never be known. For one day two warriors appeared and challenged Marius on their first day. They were a team; Zipicus, the brain, Daniel, the brawn. Where one would fail, the other would take over. And together they were unstoppable.
"Marius!" called Zipicus. "We demand you challenge us both, and if you're as fierce as you say you are, you'll not run away with your tale between your legs! We aren't here to battle a coward!" Zipicus was the brains of the operation for a few reasons, one being that he knew how to make his opponents angry.
"You dare challenge me!? Have you not heard the tales!?" Marius bellowed. "Foolish peasant! Woman, bring me my sword. I shall feed these commoners their tongues." Marius was angry. He was angrier than he had ever been, which was saying something. His eyes were bloodshot, as if thirsting for another taste of the red that stained the Colosseum.
And so the battle began. Marius was certainly not the wisest of men, and had decided to battle them together. Swinging his sword around, he angrily lashed out at Zipicus, who easily enough dodged his bullheaded attacks. In fact, Zipicus didn't take a single swing at Marius. After all, that was not his job.
"Why aren't you swinging at me! Do you mean to mock me!" Marius yelled out between grunts.
"Not at all." replied Zipicus. "Merely buying some time."
And then Marius slowed down considerably. While it would be nice to say this was because he realized he was being baited, it was certainly not the case. No, Marius was slowed down by Daniels's sword, which had lodged into the fools abdomen. Normally Marius would not have fallen due to a simple strike, as he wore fine armor with a large iron plate. However, in his ire he had forgotten to put on his armor. Thus, like his reign, he too ended in blood.
This had been 5 years ago. Lapidus was fond of the two new Ceasars, as they seemed to be a significant improvement on Marius's debauchery. All aspects considered, they fit in well. In addition, they had fascinating new ideas. Every year, they declared, they would host an ultimate competition. He who could best the two of them in joint combat would become the Caesar, and for 5 years, none among the Discordian masses could do so.
But is this proud warrior among you? Do they live within your heart? Do they yearn to conquer the throne? Can they conquer the Colosseum?
