GLADIATORS

While the men were eating Maximus said to Primatus, “This is taking too long we still have four more left in the pen and a new shipment of slaves just arrived.”

He said suppose we have the four remaining women fight one another to the death and the survivor is free for the rest of the week.

Primatus thought that was a splendid idea and make the announcement to their guess.

While we are cooking our girls we will have the rest of the four remaining fight one another each armed only with a short sword.

They will have no armament to protect their bodies. We still want to view their nudity.

The nobles applauded this announcement.

Maximus called four strong guards and gave them instructions as to what he wanted done.

Five minutes later the guards returned with four naked females. The nobles where finishing up their meal and ready for more entertainment.

The guards led the females to the arena where Olga was still turning on the spit inside the oxen carcass and listened to her still frail cries it had been almost 5 hours now and she should be almost expired.

One of the guards said, “Sounds about medium rare now, another 5 or 6 hours and she’ll be falling off the bones.”

That brought a laugh from the other guards and the nobles who had heard it and a shudder from the remaining slave and a gasp from Naomi who was still tied to the pole.

Each guard took one female slave and placed a blind fold around her eyes. Almost in unison each guard spun his charge 10 twists causing her to become unbalanced. They had the girls separated in four directions and placed a short sword in each hand. The girls were now armed with two swords each. They pointed all four girls toward the center of the arena and said, “Go on out and fight.” Then they instructed, “Only one will survive and go free it may as well be you, now start swinging your swords and hope you hit someone.”

The girls still 15 feet apart where swinging their swords in short circles, not even coming close to one another. The guards started yelling “Take another step in and then swing,”

The nobles were howling in laughter at the naked girls swinging at air. The guards urged them to take another step inward, They did and now less than three feet separated them.

One girl from Mesopotamia delivered the first sword strike to a girl from Egypt and drew blood from her shoulder. The Egyptian screamed and dropped her swords. The guards shouted to the Mesopotamian “lunge, lunge, strike, kill, kill.”

The girl followed directions and lunging forward stabbed the Egyptian girl in the thigh.

The guards yelled “Now you’ve got her. Strike again.” The Mesopotamian did and drove her sword through the Egyptian girls breast, striking her heart and killing her instantly.

A Nubian and a Brit were exchanging sword stokes, In a blind duel. The guards directed the Mesopotamian at the two battlers and said, “Rush in and start swinging you may be able to eliminate all the competition at once.”

The girl did as instructed and slashed the Brit across her neck, causing her to fall forward and drop both her swords.

She realized that although wounded she needed her swords at least for protection. Blindfolded like this she could not find her swords and in grouping around came upon the ankle of the Nubian. The Nubian who was trying to defend herself from the Mesopotamian swung downward toward the grasping hand and severed her hand just above the wrist.

Just as the Nubian who of course was till blindfolded turned to deliver another blow the Mesopotamian thrust driving her sword deep into the Nubians buttock.

The Nubian fell and her sword fell out of her hands striking the Brit who was laying at her feet. The Brit picked up the sword and the Nubian fell on top of her. The Brit neatly cut the Nubians throat.

Now there were only a one handed Brit and a Mesopotamian armed with two swords still remaining.

The Brit lunged upward and slashed open the aortal artery where it passed through the crotch.

It took all of five minutes for the Mesopotamian to bleed to death there on the arena floor, leaving a one handed Brit who had also lost huge amounts of blood as the winner.

In keeping with the medical treatment of that time they plunged her right hand stump into the fire causing it to seal shut and the Brit to pass out from the pain.

The entire massacre took less than an hour.

The apprentice cooks had continued basting the ox hide and the moans from with in the hide had ceased, One of the apprentices announced, “Medium 6 more hours to go. “

The chef reappeared and taking a piece of bread threw it into the oil. The oil sprang to life and the chef fished out the bread and said, “Oils ready.”

Now two of the apprentices and the assistant chef took Naomi down and arranged her in a harness that acted as a cradle. She was in a sitting position with that prominent buttock totally exposed.

They erected an A frame over the cauldron and attached the harness to it.

Four strong slaves hoisted Naomi into the air and positioned her over the boiling oil.

Another set of slaves carried in a large tub filled with ice and water.

The chef gave instructions two minutes in the oil then 6 minutes in the ice. Then we switch her positions and cook another part of her body.

He address the nobles and said, “This will prolong her suffering and she should last an hour or so before she expires,”

With that he gave the signal and Naomi was lowered into the boiling cooking oil. Her screams were ear shattering and sent ice water through the veins.

They hoisted her up and deposited her into the bin of ice to stop the cooking process.

The harness was rearranged to dip both of her legs this time. Fresh ice was added to the vat and Naomi was lowered feet first into the cooking oil.

The screams were even more forceful this time. After her two minute bath she was deposited feet first into the ice bath.

This process was repeated with every part of her body until the final position was head first into the boiling oil.

They brought her back up after the two minutes but she had already expired.

The chef order her taken to a large work table where the head butcher disemboweled her and cut her parts into sections that could be handled.

Now her body parts were thrown back into the cooking oil and allowed to cook for another 45 minutes.

She was thoroughly cooked and removed from the oil to drain and saved for reheating when Olga was finished with her process.

There was still an hour cooking time left and then an hour to open the carcass and prepare Olga for the feast.

Maximus and Primatus told the nobles lets go look at the new slaves and see what we may have tomorrow night.

They left to go to the slave sorting area. No sorting could be done until Maximus and Primatus were present to supervise.

A few of the nobles took a fancy to some of the more comely new arrivals and with permission of the brothers rapped 6 of the new slaves.

There sexual appetite sated for the moment they went back to attend to their hunger pain. They were all looking forward to a cannibalistic feast.

They savored the light and dark meat beauties and all determined that this was a very tasty dish and proposed a feast like this at least once a quarter.
