Story?
Oh! Yes! I almost forgot!
“OH GOD, PLEASE! I cannot stand this, PLEASE, can’t anybody understand me? It hurts SO MUCH!! PLEASE!!! Make this stop!”
“Ready, gentlemen?” enquired Wragg.
“When you are, sir,” replied Tree.
Old Slave and Windar grabbed her lower leg, and forced her heel up against the side of the cross. Barbaria knew perfectly well what they were doing.
“NO!!!! NOT THAT! LEAVE MY FEET! PLEASE!! NO!”
Wragg took no notice. With one swing of the mallet the nail was through her heel bone and deep into the cross, but Wragg knew that this had to be done quickly, the power of the leg was greater than that of the arm, and victims could pull nails out if they weren’t driven home smartly. Smart he was , and, deaf to the rage and cursing from above, he nailed first one heel and then the other to the cross.
He gave the cross an experimental shake, which drew more protests from above, then stood back to admire the fully crucified Rebel Leader. Very good she looked, too. Professor Tree would have been proud of him. Centurion Tree, certainly, seemed impressed.
“Nice work, sir!”
“Thank you!”
“Kill me! Please, have mercy! Please, just end this pain!”
Wragg drew his sword. “With this? Shall I kill you with this?”
“NOW! Kill me now!”
He gently traced the outline of her left breast with the tip of the sword, stroking her nipple until, despite her pain and humiliation, her nipples engorged in tumid arousal.
“Hey, would you look at that!” Wragg observed, with a smile. “She’s enjoying herself! I couldn’t kill her while she’s enjoying herself!”
He turned his back on her and walked away, deaf to her curses.
“BASTAAAARD!!”
Wragg was puzzled by the appearance of some books. RR was examining one closely.
“Professor Rodent, what are these tomes?”
“These are the Chronicles of Crux, and here is the latest. ‘
The Chronicle of Horny the Unicorn.’”
“Really? How interesting! Who wrote them?”
“DAMN YOU, WRAGG!” Barbaria wasn’t through cursing him yet. Wragg ignored her.
RR looked closer. “I think you did!”
“Me?”
“It says ‘Wragg’ here.”
“But, how?”
“Have Unicorn, will time travel,” winked RR.
“MAY ALL THE DEVILS IN HELL CONSUME YOUR LIVER!”
“Wait!” Wragg still wasn’t listening to Barbaria. He pointed to the book with his sword. “What’s this about devils?”
“Look out, Wragg!” whinnied Horny, “Barbaria is a witch!”
Wragg whirled around, and grotesque beings were advancing upon him from all directions, pure hatred in their eyes. And not just Wragg, a zombie was approaching Tree, wrists still pierced, swearing revenge for her crucifixion.
Some creature that was a cross between a fish and a frog launched itself off the Chronicles and landed on his shoulder.
“Oh,
Fuck!” said Wragg, brushing it off again.
“Kill him!” bawled Barbaria, “Kill Wragg! Kill them all! And then
get me down!”
Horny was going after a goblin with his horn, Wragg tried to spear a couple of them with his sword, but a sword was of no use against such unearthly beings. He threw the sword down in disgust, and whipped out his wand.
“
Tumescence!”
There were puffs of purple smoke all over the place, and each and every devil was replaced by a small, golden, sugar-coated dome. Horny even had one impaled on his horn.
High on her cross, Barbaria groaned in defeated despair.
Wragg smiled happily. “Eccles cake, anyone?”
