57 new renders! Thank you very for dedicating your efforts and your time in our benefit, Jedakk!Late posting these today. There were some changes I was thinking about making to this scene and decided only yesterday that I would make them. Which means re-rendering a hell of a lot of scenes. I rendered the ones I intended to post today first then continued on with the others, 57 all together so 40 more to go.
Sabina begins to stir and return to consciousness after fainting from her agony. She is still hanging by only the nails in her wrists. The crowd, meanwhile, shows no sympathy. Sabina is just another slave dying on the cross as punishment for whatever she has done. That doesn't matter to them; she could have done something heinous - murdered someone - or spilled some wine. Slaves could be crucified for anything or nothing. Balbus the executioner narrates a bit here:
Just then the slave girl moaned and stirred as she began to awake and remember where she was. She tilted her head back and stared upward at the nails in her wrists, groaning. Her legs began to flail weakly. She looked around, dazed, saw her Domina and asked for mercy. Julia Lepida actually smiled at her as she told her no.
Sabina herself also narrates what it was like when the white-hot agony made her faint and then to awaken and discover that she was hanging naked on the cross:
I awoke gradually, my head spinning, not knowing what happened or where I was. And then, oh gods, the agony! I groaned, gritted my teeth, opened my eyes, looked up and with horror, saw the nails protruding from my wrists, the ooze of blood around them and the trickle down my forearms. I looked down, saw my bare breasts, uncovered legs below, the livid marks where the whip had wrapped around and stung my breasts, my stomach, my hips. I saw no sign of a loincloth, felt nothing between my legs but the air on my bare skin. Rough wood scraped the welts on my bare buttocks.I’m naked! I thought. I’m hanging here naked, with all these people staring at me. I remember now, they took away my loincloth before… before they started driving the nails.This can’t be real! This is a nightmare! I’m not supposed to be here!I blinked, shook my head, struggled to wake up, trying to grope my way out of it. This couldn’t be real, couldn’t be! My mind wouldn’t work, couldn’t process this.I can’t wake up! Why can’t I wake up?And I panicked as I finally understood that yes, this horror is real.I’m crucified. Through the fog of pain, my head swimming, I moaned and tried to get the soles of my bare feet against the cross to hold myself up, but I was so tired, my strength used up. Then it dawned on me.Hanging by two nails… Four nails always, always, oh gods! Always used when they crucify a slave. My feet! They aren’t nailed to the cross! They haven’t finished crucifying me! Oh gods, oh no, please no! Two more… nails! They’re going to nail my feet… nail my feet to the cross! I can’t bear this, can’t bear that too!With sweat stinging my eyes, I made out the faces of the crowd, laughing, jeering and staring at me. I looked at them in wonder. What had I done to deserve their ridicule? My Domina was to my right, watching me, expressionless.“D-Domina,” I rasped, “please stop them, my feet, two more nails, I can’t… oh gods, don’t let me die on this cross!”She looked me in the eyes, smiled, and said, “You earned this when you struck me, slave. Your punishment hasn’t even begun.”I was crushed. After all our years together, she was throwing me away as easily as if I were a toy she had grown tired of. That pain only added to the agony and humiliation I felt. My vision blurred as tears filled my eyes.

There are many very intelligent people here. I've learned a lot over the years from the people I've met in the crux community.And thus we may logically conclude that he is a genius.
Eventually, she reached a stage where pretend crucifixions in brothels were no longer enough. She needed to be nailed, for real. And know she was going to die. In order to reach the ultimate level of arousal.You only know that because you've read the ending, so it spoils the story when you read it again. But it also explains some of her behavior that is puzzling if you don't know what's really going on.
For Sabina it is an addiction just like a narcotic! When she got to play at being crucified in the brothel back in Pompeii, it gave her some satisfaction for a little while so her cravings were not as bad. Without that opportunity it kept getting worse until she would rather face death than go on that way.
I just so curious when first nail came and felt real pain, would she regret when the time she got some relief like leaning on the stipe nefore her feet left the ground. I knew well hersuffering of public whipping was just piece of cake for her as I am feeling in her place.Eventually, she reached a stage where pretend crucifixions in brothels were no longer enough.

I also think Cornu came as a plan too
excellent choices Julia Lepida, wise woman. I would have added rape during the nailing, but you vere extremely merciful, Julia Lepida. The poor Sabrina deserved fully what you decided for her. She is very hot. It will be a crucifixion to rememberYes, the whipping was bad at the time, but not as bad by far as her crucifixion. Being stripped naked for her whipping was humiliating then, in her frame of mind at that time. She had never been forcibly stripped naked in public before; she had always had the right to cover herself and keep her private parts private. Now she realizes that she has no rights and her body is not her own any longer.
The cornu was a bit of vengeance by Julia Lepida - Sabina expected a more benign sedile. Julia Lepida was angry at being forced into this position of having to crucify Sabina. So when the opportunity came for her to tell Balbus how she wanted Sabina crucified, she paid a little extra for a cornu. Here's the passage where she made the deal:
There were choices to be made for everything, from the type of cross to what she’d be allowed to wear on her way to the cross. Balbus noted everything on his wax tablet as we went over the arrangements. How long did I want her to suffer? He had ways of making her die within a few hours or prolonging her suffering for as many as four days. I’d have to pay extra for one of his helpers to stand guard at her cross for longer than two days.For a little extra cost, I could have had her put up on a tall cross, or one in the shape of an X. I could have her crucified upside down, but she would die more quickly that way. I told him to nail her to an ordinary cross just like a common criminal, and make her punishment as slow and painful as he could; I’d pay the extra expense.When should she be stripped? I wanted her naked for her whipping, and that should be done in the forum where she would be seen by a larger crowd. Balbus said that his practice was to have the victim wear a loincloth to the place of execution, so those that saw her along the way would follow to see her uncovered. She would be bare-breasted, her only covering hiding what was between her legs. I agreed to that. Should he remove her loincloth before the nailing or after she was hanging on the cross? I wanted her utterly humiliated. Strip her before nailing her so the onlookers would see her writhing naked on the ground when the nails went in.Then there were the choices of what to put between her legs; a sedile, a cornu, perhaps some special touches, or nothing at all? Giving her an option to bear her weight on something other than her nails would prolong her suffering, and add to her shame. Mercy would have been to give her nothing and allow her a quicker death. In keeping with my choice to make her suffer, I chose a cornu. Just one horn, not too sharp so it doesn’t offer her a way to wound herself and maybe bleed to death. “Let her ride the unicorn,” I told him.Balbus made note of all these things on a wax tablet he carried. We agreed on the price for her crucifixion, I paid him half up front, and he carried out my instructions to the letter.
For all details, I feel she is such a good friend. One more thing on the plan of cornu is I think she wanted to give sexual pleasure to Sabina (on cross). At least she can fuck herself for pleasure during pain and shame. Cuz without is orgasm alone would be difficult after few earlier times.Yes, the whipping was bad at the time, but not as bad by far as her crucifixion. Being stripped naked for her whipping was humiliating then, in her frame of mind at that time. She had never been forcibly stripped naked in public before; she had always had the right to cover herself and keep her private parts private.

Sabina : I got a lit bit of rest in the mist of pain as Hercules lift my ass. He was doing gently as he looked enjoying my flesh. Me, I'm not sure but I got some bliss than my whole body hanging weight was reliefed.Once again a scene changed at the last minute. I brought the crowd in closer, changed Sabina's expression a bit, improved the lighting.
The executioner's helpers prepare to fix Sabina's cornu in place and to tie her feet to the cross for nailing. Hercules holds Sabina's body up to give Antius room behind her to set the cornu in place while Ajax will tie her feet together. Sabina narrates this part:
One of the Nubians – Hercules - moved to my left side, slipped one arm under my knees, then reached around and grabbed my buttocks with his other hand. I groaned, my body quivering at the new stabs of pain that shot through my wrists as he swung me outward, away from the cross. I knew he was getting my body out of the way to make some space for the executioner to do his work behind me, to set in place whatever torture device they had chosen to use for me to rest on. There was a socket in the cross chiseled out to hold it.But I know what they’re going to use on me. I saw it yesterday and I saw it lying on the ground, next to my cross, waiting to be used. Maybe they were just trying to frighten me! Surely my Domina wouldn’t have them use that on me!
If I could add one thing in, it wouldn’t be a Rape scene. I would add a quiet moment at night between Julia and Sabina, the first night, where Julia secretly goes to Sabina’s cross and consoles her.
Julia gave the guard a coin as a bribe, and he looks at the women inquisitively. “Going to kill her? I can’t allow that on my watch.” He bit into the coin, denting it with his teeth... it was real gold. To a man such as him even a single gold coin held great value, but the laws were the laws; if he didn’t carry out his duty, it could very well be him on the next cross.
“I’ll not here to kill her, I’m here to talk to her.” Julia tried not to let her voice crack. She was angry, angry at Sabina for letting it get this far, angry at herself for letting it happen, and she was angry at how powerless she still felt. She had to play her role, or risk enduring the same fate that her beloved friend now suffered; her hands were tied.
“Well I won’t stop you from talking. I’ll give you half an hour, then the morning guard will take his shift, she I doubt he will be so easy to bribe.” The guard dropped the gold piece into his coin purse. “But if you try to interfere, there will be an even steeper price to pay.”
Sabina hung limply on her cross, dug into her cornu, and only half conscious. Her diaphragm expanded and contracted in a frenzied rhythm. She looked up as her Domina approached. No words were shared, just a moment of silent understanding. But Julia did not go there to console the crucified girl. Her domina broke eye contact and lowered her gaze, gathering her resolve; finally Julia demanded that she talk, that she explain herself. Sabina paused, and then weakly said “It had to be done”.
Julia moved her hand to Sabina’s inner thigh, and the slave shivered. “Why are you doing this?“ Sabina asked her as she tried to close her thighs to shake off this gentle hand.
“Because you need it.” was the reply, and she took two fingers and pressed them into Sabina. The naked girl became wet very quickly. Julia explored like it was her own body. The groans were a mix of pain and pleasure, a delirious cocktail of sensations that washed over Sabina. Julia moves to the side of her cross and wrapped her arm around it to massage Sabina’s nipples.
“You will surely die on this cross.”
“Yes.”
“Was it worth it?”
“There was no other way.”
After what felt like an enternity between them, Julia broke off her contact. “Then I am no longer sorry, Sabina. I can only give you what you deserve.”
Julia went to storm off, but thought better of it. She walked to the front of the sobbing, moaning woman she had put there, and placed her hand on her cheek. She looked at Sabina’s lips and then her eyes. “One last thing...”
Julia kissed Sabina deeply, passionately. She nearly recoiled at her own action, then the Domina composed herself. “It had to be done,” she said.
Yeah, tie her feet so that she can only move her toes!!!Hercules holds Sabina's body up to give Antius room behind her to set the cornu in place while Ajax will tie her feet together.
I would have begged her to come over to my cross and pull me off too,I'm already dribbling watching what was going on,I'd even let her nail my cock to my saddle as punishment for my impudenceIf I could add one thing in, it wouldn’t be a Rape scene.

She does look terrified, eyes bugging out. If she's wondering if the guy holding her has honorable intentions, she can be assured he doesn't!View attachment 958633 View attachment 958634
They've succeeded in scaring Sabina out of (what remained of) her wits, that's for sure. And it's not even the end of the beginning for her.
