PLEASE USE THE "PLAY GAME" BUTTON, IT WILL WORK BETTER I PROMISE

The flaming sun always made everything so hot here. The sparing pit, the barracks, even the bathroom was hot for Gods sake. "Such was the life of a VIXEN candidate" Amelia thought to herself as she hops up from her bunk. The Ludus had become quite empty, as most of the other girls had either taken their vows or been sold off into slavery. This was worrying to her, but she was also kind of relaxing. When she was first brought in as a child, the barracks was overcrowded and worse yet, almost everyone were girls, no older than 14. But now, Amelia was a full grown woman, of 20 name days, and her new found privacy was a luxury.

Beginning to move around the bunk room, stretching her legs and arms out, sweat glistening down her nude, well-endowed frame. Sleeping nude was a must, especially this time of year, though it was very frowned upon during training, so she wraps herself in layer after layer of light, semi-transparent cloths. Supposedly dressing like this was supposed to help keep you cool, and to some extent that must be true.

She steps out into the central sand covered courtyard. She'd seen many a great battle here, but as she looks around she couldn't help but feel nostalgic. On the other side of the clearing was Sara, the closest thing Amelia has to a rival. Sara was a fierce warrior, she used her heavy long sword and spent nearly all hours of the day. It was a rumor for awhile that she didn't even sleep, and her body reflects it. Permanent bags hang under her eyes, but she's built like an ox. Muscles bulging from underneath the thing cloth, and even now as she strikes at a wooden dummy, her form is near flawless, the power she delivers with each strike is majestic, in a brutal sort of way.

To her left was the bathroom, steam constantly rising out of the singular door, it acts not only as a place to bathe after a long day or oil up before a showing to Empire higher-ups, but it was also the closest thing the recruits had to privacy from the Dominus and his house servants, which meant that whenever anyone wanted to drink or fool around, that's where it happened. Though the past few weeks, there's been a creepy guy who cleans in there. His eyes always linger a little too long and his hands have been known to wander.

Lastly, to the right was the library. The glass windows and door were barred heavily and the library was kept under guard, after all many of the books were very old, and very expensive. Perhaps the best thing about the library was that if one spent enough time there, they say you could master the art of summoning, though very few Vixen candidates ever tried, to the library goes on, mostly unused.

Although the years have been harsh, Amelia had made it to the end. Tonight was her Oath ceremony, tonight she would prove herself worthy, or not, to become a Vixen, the right hand of the Emperor. All the candidates left were given the day to prepare for the ceremony that night and Amelia spent that time the way she had spent most of her time here.
