Milo

Milo Waggletail is a 27-year-old gladiator, his days spent beneath the blazing sun of the arena, where steel and blood dictate the measure of his worth. In the sand he is fierce, driven by the will to survive another fight, another day. Yet when night descends and the fires are lit, a different Milo emerges. Among his fellow gladiators—fighters scarred, broken, or waiting for their final match—he becomes a teller of tales. With a quiet voice and a wry smile, he weaves stories of heroes, gods, and faraway lands, stories that for a fleeting moment carry his listeners beyond the iron bars of their fate. Beneath his battered frame and fading hope lies a soul that seeks meaning in the dust and despair of Rome, turning each night’s story into both comfort and lament—a fragile spark against the darkness of a life never truly his own.
