Height of Rome: Watch (or participate) in a gladiator fight
....I took an enormous leap onto the building complex in front of me and had a look around. This place seemed really familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.
Below me, I could see a group of men. Dressed like some sort of Roman soldier. I am in Rome! At that moment I remembered the task of the year.
I said to myself out loud "GLADIATOR!" and turned 180 degrees. Stood before me was a Roman Gladiator. It looked like a cross between Russell Crowe and Gerard Butler. Wearing uniform that you would expect a Gladiator to wear.
In one of his hands was a wooded sword and in the other a small shield.
For a brief moment my lucidity began to fall drastically. I desperately rubbed my hands together to boost the dream back into full form. My vision was slowly deteriorating as well as my control. While I frantically tried to pull myself back into the dream, the Gladiator just stood and laughed at me. As if he was the cause for this interruption.
The Gladiator charged directly towards me, swinging his sword at my head. I fled to the side where it narrowly missed me. Before I could think about anything else, he charged towards me again. I dodged the attack.
At this point I realised that I had no weapon and that the Gladiator had the upper hand. I thought to myself 'I must kick him off the edge of the building'
I waited for the Gladiator to charge once more. And he did.
Just as he approached me and fell back onto my hands, pushed off the ground and kicked the Gladiator directly in the chest with both feet.
The Gladiator flew across the roof top and eventually slipped off the edge.
