The Story of Tibithy
The Story of Tibithy
Tibithy is a girl, who has been through so much in her lifetime from her village being destroyed to living a happy life again.
Tibithy was born in Aosta, Italy. Her mothers name was Milisa and her father was Ethopes. She grew up with her friends who lived in the village, and she did not go to school because she was a girl. Her mother taught her how to cook, clean and she was also taught how to sew and read a little bit. It snowed in Aosla and there were many floods but not to major that they had to leave the village because they lived on a hill. It was Tibithy’s 18th birthday and her father was not very happy, Tibithy did not know why. She saw all of her friend’s fathers putting on armour and lining up around the village. Her father said good-bye to her and left. She ran out to grab him but her mother grabbed her and said “don’t worry he will be back”. Tibithy did not understand what was going on and why. It was only a few minutes before a bell rang, which told the village that where was danger. Everyone ran to there homes and hid inside. When they reached their house she saw her father fighting a roman solider, she stoped and cried out “papa” he turned around and as he did that the solider hit him and killed him. Her mother pulled her in to the house and before her mother could explain anything to her she started to scream and shout at her. Once Tibithy had charmed down her mother said that the Romans wanted to take over the village and wanted them to be slaves (25 B.C when Augustus was the emperor of Rome). Their house was full of people and every one was quite.
The fighting had been going on for a few minutes now, Tibithy looked around to see if any one was watching her and then she pushed the door open and right in front of the door was a Roman Solider, she did not say any thing then her mother pulled her back and the door went bang the solider had heard the bang and opened the door he called over some more soldiers and they helped him get them all out. Tibithy looked around and saw her fathers body laying on the ground and run to it, a solider thought that she was running away so he ran after her, she was just a little bit to fast for him so he pulled out his spear out to hit her but she fell to the ground where her fathers body was laying. The solider ran over to her and pulled her away from him and shock her like she was just a doll. He put her down to her feet and told her to join the others, and then he tide her hands to the cart that she was put in, just to make sure she did not run away again.
It was 40 days until they made it to Rome, once she got to Rome she was put in a slave camp with her mother and some of her friends, it was scary in the camp because their was soldiers every were. The next day she was taken away from her mother and the solider said to her “you will never see her again”. Tibithy looked at him in horror and kicked him and yell and she was hit a cross the face. She was put up for sale and a man came up to her and said you are coming home with me. He got her new cloths and told her “you are mine so you have to do every thing I say” she looked at him as if to say “what ever”. He told her to peel the veggies and to help cook dinner. She made a new friend called Roy he was a nice boy he was a little older than her he told her if she did as she was told her master (Kree) would take care of her. That night she was put in a room with the other slaves and had a chain put around her leg so that she would not try to run away.
It had been two years since she had been brought to Rome and made a slave, she did not sleep with a chain around her leg any more. Her master (Kree) was nice to her now. She was very beautiful now and the other slaves where very jealous about it so much that they would pick on her, the only person that would not picked on her was Roy, because he did not care about her beauty only how nice she was to him. Kree (her master) also though she was beautiful, so much that he fell in love with her (but he never told her). Another year had past and she was still so beautiful under all of the dirt that was on her face. One day Kree came home and said that he had killed one of the kings solider’s and that he had to give the king the most precious thing he had. Kree looked at Tibithy and said you are the most beautful girl that I have every seen and that she was the most precious thing that he owned. The next day came and she said good-bye to Roy and then hopped in to the cart, which was waiting for her. The king was waiting for Kree, when they walked in to the room the king asked were the gift was and Kree told him that Tibithy was the most precious gift that he owned, the king told a slave to come and get Tibithy, she looked at her old master as if to say “good bye”. As the door was closed behind them Tibithy heard the king yell at Kree with disgust, Kree said that she was the most beautful thing that he had ever seen and the he was in love with her. Tibithy had I tear fall down her cheek and quickly wiped it away before any one saw it.
Tibithy asked what the slaves name was, the slave said “my name is Cleo”. As Tibithy got closer to a room she was given a towel and a white dress made of cloth that the slave’s wore. She was washed and made look clean, Tibithy asked “why do I have to be clean” and Cleo said “the king does not wanting us to look dirty”. Tibithy was put to work with Cleo and made many friends, she started to learn the rules of the palace. She worked along side Cleo for two years then Cleo died. After Cleo died Tibithy worked alone and had no one to talk to. Tibithy worked alone for a year and that year Tibithy grew more beautiful and the king was a lot nicer to her. One day when Tibithy was cleaning in the main hall the king walked past and Tibithy stood up and greeted the king, the king said to her that she was working very well and that she looked very beautiful, as he said that she went red and the king laughed. A few days later Tibithy had ripped her clothes and the king asked a woman by the name of Sharey to make Tibithy a new dress. Tibithy followed Sharey to the sewing room and was given a dress to put on after she had a wash.
Tibithy walked into a room full of slaves and one of them came up to her and said ” why do you get a new dress when I have a ripped one and I have had it for most of the year”, Tibithy said “ I don’t know why” and then turned her back. The girl that had picked on her punched Tibithy in the face. She did not know what to do so she punched back and then the fighting started, there was blood every were and people screaming for help, the soldiers came running in to the room and knocked Tibithy out and the other girl that had hit Tibithy. The next day they both woke up in a cage that was surrounded by soldiers. Tibithy looked around to see that the king was walking over to her, she tried to cover her face. He told her that a man by the name of Merlic, who had seen the damage that she, had done to the other girl. He wanted her to be a gladiator and that the king said “yes” to her being a gladiator. Tibithy felt really bad because she was too young to die or even fight.
Tibithy started her training, she did not know many other people but she knew that there was no way out of being a Gladiator ether. Three months had pasted and Tibithy was going to be in her first fight, she was scared and did not know what would happen to her. Tibithy faced her first fighting opponent and she put up a good fight she won and she was only cut on the leg and arm, after cleaned up she went to her room. Tibithy had been in so many fights that she could not keep count, Tibithy had been hit and hurt really badly in some fights but she still looked very beauty. Tibithy had been fighting for three years now and won most of her fights, she was told that if she won this fight she would be able to be free and go home. Tibithy was so happy to hear that she would be free and that there would be no more fights in the ring. Tibithy walked out to the ring to face her last opponent, then Tibithy looked up and saw in the crowed was the king was there watching, he smiled at her, Tibithy looked away because she was not happy at the king for backing her a gladiator because she had almost died in one fight.
Once the fight started Tibithy put in all of her power into winning the fight, the fight had been going on for a few minutes know and their was blood all over the ground and she was very dirty. Tibithy’s opponent then collapsed on the ground in front of her. Tibithy was announced the winner and with those word she knew that she was free. When Tibithy got cleaned up Merlic came up to her and said “the king is here to take you home”. Tibithy was not happy but upset because she had planned to go to her little village that was taken away for her. Once Tibithy was in the palace she was told that she was to live in the palace and if she did not like it here, she would be made a gladiator again. Tibithy did not what to go and fight again, she just wanted to be free.
Tibithy stayed in the palace and was treated like royalty, it was only because she was a well known gladiator, and because she had won so many fights. Two year had pasted and Tibithy was told that she was now a roman citizen, and that she was allowed to go back to her little village Aosta, Italy. She had packed her stuff and started to walk towards the gate when the king came out and said I hope you will be happy at your village and then one of his soldiers came from around the corner with a horse and the king said” take him he will make the travel quicker and faster”, Tibithy said “thank you very much “then she got on the horse and took off.
It took her 15 days to get to the village. It still had people living in it. Her home was empty and it was the same way they had left it only a few things were destroyed and then she found that half of the house was burnt. Tibithy was very upset to see her home trashed by the Romans so she cleaned it up and fix up the burned part of the house. Tibithy had been living in the house for a three week’s when she got a knock at the door it was Roy he was not a slave any more he was free as well.
Four years had passed and Roy and Tibithy were married and had two children. Tibithy had lived a happy live with her family and in her real home, Tibithy died at the age of 53, she died because she had a heart attack.
