The morning had started long before the sun had peeked over the edge of the earth, Ivanna up and working herself to be more than prepared for the day. She needed to keep her edge as training day always seemed to be the most difficult for the new recruits. The women would be rather fragile in spirit and the men would forget very quickly that she and her fellow female Doctore were warriors by nature and lacked patience or understanding of any sort for their uncaged desires. It would prove to be a long day and she shook her head at the very idea of how much her old friend, Heimdal, would enjoy watching her threaten the lives of more than one unruly young male on the first day. 

A quick breakfast of fruit and water and she was out in the darkness of dawn, her body barely clad in enough cloth to cover the parts she'd rather keep private. She refused to allow hindrance to her activities, her body needing to be free and capable at making adjustments at the drop of a feather. The surrounding structure in Ludus allowed for training to take place and yet they were capable of keeping the newly captured slaves on the grounds without concern. Only one opening on the eastern wall had fault in it and for that she was grateful. The climb was steep and yet her grappling hooks, one in each hand, allowed her to scale the wall and slip over, the descent one only for those that covet death and yet once a week she would test her strength, her agility and her fear to see if she could break her time in climbing down the steep rock and back up before the sun would break into the sky. 

That morning she'd almost lost her grip, her balance beam walk with death causing her to feel more alive than anything else might. She finished her workout and changed quickly into the clothes that Canis requested of them, moving to the arena areas and moving in beside Heimdal as the gates opened. She looked toward them and found herself quite pleased with the size and rather offensive scowls that played upon their faces. The morning should prove to be quite adventuresome as it always was. She looked to Canis and lifted her head a little. "What new and ingenious way do you have in splitting them up to work with us?"
