Rome was now one of the largest cities in the world, but that meant something totally different than it did in the old days. Even though she wasn't alive when things were the way they used to be she knew about it. She had heard all the stories when she was younger, she knew that humans hadn't always been the endangered species they were today. As she soared over the ancient buildings, most of which were now destroyed, she thought of the books she had read. Italy had once been a great country, and the Roman Empire had been even better. They had conquered the majority of Europe, and had kept that position for years.
Now, though, that was the least of her worries. Right now she was looking for Dani, the beautiful half-demon who worked in her father's ranks. Kimber had known the girl since she came to her father's side in Italy, and they had become friends over time. It wasn't often that the blond girl befriended anyone, but once she did she would do most anything to protect them and keep the friendship alive. It helped that she would see her at least once a week, since she was the one Kimber reported her findings to when she left Greece.
It didn't take her long to spot the Colosseum, probably because it was the largest building that still stood, for the most part anyway. In the center of the huge building was a platform that had stood since the time of the Romans, and had formerly been used to house the fights of the gladiators, but was now the landing zone for the former leader's daughter. It was also where she would be meeting Dani. As she came down the wind around her blew dust around the huge open space. Everything came to a halt as she placed her feet on the ground and closed her wings. The black boots that always covered her feet left marks in the dirt as she walked away from her initial landing spot. She didn't like to stay in the open any longer than was necessary for more than one reason. The first was that she greatly preferred to stay in the dark, and the second was that she knew there were many, many people who would do things she would do to someone else if they got their hands on her.
As she neared the edge of the stage like area she opened her wings once more and dropped to the ground below. The second opening to the right was where she was to meet the other girl. The arena was full of passage ways and halls and rooms that no one knew existed. When her father held rallies he would use the pulley system that was formerly used to pull up large animals to make his entrance. Now the ropes lay limp and the small platform was set on the ground just above one of the closed off holes. Instead of stopping here she went down a small flight of stairs to the area under the Colosseum. Here the ground was covered with grass and the walls were painted with demonic signs. It wasn't until she came to the thirteenth door that she turned and entered the room, now waiting for the other woman.
