Chapter 1 - The Arrival
Where am i?
Unfortunate circumstances had brought me into the hands of pirate slave traders and the anger at my imprudence outweighed the concerns of what was to come.
Or did the goddess want to test my strength?
And would my strength be enough to pass this test?
The pirates had been talking about Romans - actually enemies, but a good deal covers up so many things and alliances change.
There there are a number of smuggler islands & trading posts between Carthage and Rome where such business was done.
Slavetrading Business.
The door of my hut opens, the men pull me out.
With my arms tightly strapped behind my back, I am defenseless against them.
They put a rope around my neck and drag my out like a cattle.
On deck my eyes are trying to get used to the bright sun - we are in a small harbor and the captain is talking to an elder Roman man, wearing simple but noble clothes.
I notice how the two men turn their heads and glance over to me ...
The two come aboard and the Roman stands wide-legged in front of me while I stare angrily at the planks of the deck, my long black hair tangled in my face.
“That's your special offer, Magon?”
I can almost feel how his lustful eyes wandering with pleasure over my half-naked body.
“Sure Gladius, just look at this strong shapely body, slim and slender, with cute firm little tits like to bite in.”
"Ah, a Panther Girl, nice.”
“Exactly Gladius, perfect for your preferences to make proud warrior women docile and hand tame.
Just look at that tight slender body, those perky peaches, the glow in her eyes.
I could swear she's just picturing herself biting my throat....
Maybe a little too spirited but you know how to ride a wild mare.”
Disgusted, I followed the conversation of the two men, it made me furious that they talked about me like a brood mare ...
“Muscular Magon, that's for sure, not an ounce of fat, very firm breasts, mobile with each movement of her supple body. This girl definitely looks like a panther and is probably just as dangerous.
Tell your men to hold her head up so I can at least see her face”
Two pirates jump over and grab my arms, which are tied behind my back, and a third painfully pulls my head by the hair into my neck.
Gladius steps closer, grabs my chin and forces me to look him in the eye.
"Magon, an animal she definitely is and that's how she will be treated - only I'm not sure if you're trying to sell me a wildcat or a skinny mare."
I have already seen such a look in the eyes of the beasts that I delivered to the circus.
How much do you want for this little beast, Magon?”
While the two of them haggle over my prize, I take a closer look at the Roman:
simply but nobly dressed, already a little older but with strong arms where one can recognize the one or other healed scar, weather-beaten facial features and wise flashing eyes - probably a veteran who enjoys his pension in the cheap province.
Finally the two come to an agreement and both men shake hands.
“Magon, I'm taking it to my warehouses.”
Gladius laughs scornfully
“A beautiful dressage to try, but success not guaranteed.
We'll see you tomorrow, then you can admire the result of my dressage”
Then he looks at me with interest:
"Well my little wildcat, ready to have your claws clipped?"
An eerie and dangerous glint in his eyes makes me shiver - what is this roman up to with me? Methinks nothing good ...
