Alcie, not interested in helping the family of the Emperor, had stayed to watch the battle between Marcus and the five other gladiators. She was very impressed that he was able to beat them all, despite the fact that he was blind. He did take quite beating but that was nothing compared to the fact he could have died. She walked over to where he was being treated after the battle to congratulate him. "My, my, it seems Ares has blessed you to be a fearless warrior in battle. I want to congratulate you on that mighty victory. I'm not sure I could have done that myself." She said as she leaned against a column.
