An incident’s different points of view

Through out history there are differing views of what happened and even differing opinions of why the event happened. This is the tale of Ellen, Nadine, and Robyn. History records they were put to death by crucifixion. Was it justifiable or a travesty of injustice?

History does record they were executed, hanged from a trio of crosses. Was their executions deserved or is there more to know?

Ellen, Nadine, and Robyn were respected women in their community, often considered the life a party. People seemed to want to be seen with them.



The women had a side not prevalent to their society. They were more than close friends.



One could say they enjoyed each other’s company more intimately than close friends would normally do.



Though not as frowned upon as their activities could be in other places, it was still something that they kept hidden from the general population. They had acquired a large estate where their activities were not shared with the general population.



This allowed them the privacy to do what they wished without the prying eyes of those who might consider their activities some form of witchcraft.



This did not lead to their conflict with the powers that be, though. In fact, for years their activities were known but ignored gracefully by the town. Yet trouble was brewing as we will explore…

Perish the thought!

One skill that Ellen, Nadine, and Robyn had developed was hunting. On their estate they hunted for food from the wildlife there. They became quite skilled at archery.



They took only what they could consume, leaving the rest of the wildlife free to enjoy the woods and propagate. Along with archery, they developed a proficient knowledge of the use of swords, knives, axes, and other lethal devises. They kept this knowledge to themselves, never using it for anything but their food supply.

Then came the soldiers of Predone, what would become a country years later in the northern Mediterranean area. The soldiers were barely more than an organized and somewhat well-trained group of thugs that took whatever they desired from the lands they marauded.

As the Predonean soldiers marched north and west they came across they women’s estate. They treated the find of wildlife as a smorgasbord, taking wildlife with greed, wasting much of what they hunted. This did not sit well with the women who were determined to stop the devastation of their land. They armed themselves with bows and arrows, camouflaged themselves, and went on the hunt for the marauding army.



The force of three well-trained women was surprisingly effective at stalking the Predoneans.



The trio were ruthless at eliminating the soldiers. They were not impressed by or even knowledgeable of the soldiers’ rank and killed as many as they came across, slaying grunts and leaders alike.



Their actions both rattled the invaders and angered they. While efficient in their ‘hit and run’ raids, three women were grossly outnumbered by the invading army. The Predoneans set up checkpoints and offered rewards for the women’s capture.



Time and the number of invaders worked against the woman. One by one the women were captured. Nadine was taken first.



Ellen was captured by a large party of soldiers and went along with her capture willingly while plotting her escape..



Robyn was the last one taken. The soldiers would have killed her if it wasn’t for a large purse offered for their live capture. This did not stop them from chaining her to a tree and submitting her to every soldier’s rape and buggery.



An argument could be made that the women were simply defending their land against a thieving army but the Predoneans looked upon them as a resistance force now captured and the women’s fate was in their hands.

Interesting touch, but the Predonean army is all male... they just take local women...

The Predoneans captured Nadine, Ellen, and Robyn. Usually they would have slaughtered the captured forces, but the three women had managed to kill several of their leaders including ones with high rank and long service. There was a reward for bringing them back to Predonea alive and preferably unharmed. The soldiers did take their pleasures with the women before sending them on the long march back to Predonea. One might say the army might consist of plundering thieves, but they were also horny bastards, and captured women were fair game.

The women were placed in wrist irons and chained together by the collars around their necks. They were denied shoes or clothing for the long march to Predonea.



The army did not waste manpower leading them back to their homeland. They paid guides to take them to Predonea. It goes without saying that the three naked and chained women drew considerable attention on their march. But the chains binding their hands behind their backs and the heavy chain leads kept them from doing anything about the remarks. Even if they did not understand what was being said about them, the tone of the voices made it clear the remarks were lewd at best.



Them women were led through the forests that line the path.



Little did they know what a luxury the shaded paths were. The last few days of their march brought them the outer badlands of Predonea. The guide at least had the comfort of his horse. The women were towed naked through the wastelands, grateful for what little water the guide would give them.



As they neared the capital of Predonea, the road wandered through fortifications and were often lined with defensive walls. Ellen commented “I hope they don’t sell us as slaves. I’m not going to like waiting on an owner!”



As they entered the city, their guide dismounted and left his horse at a stable. As he led them into town he said in their tongue “You will be lucky to be sold as slaves. You might have a longer life.”



The women did not appreciate the tone he said that in…

 

[thehangingtree]

Ellen, Nadine, and Robyn are led into the capital of Predonea. Their last escort was an Arab man that at least spoke their language, although the women didn’t like what he had to say. He brought them to where he stayed while in Predonea. He released them from their chains and brought them out on the veranda without offering them clothing or footwear. Presented naked on the veranda, the women were admired and ogled by the Arab’s friends. They may have well been chained because they did not understand what the men were yelling, they were correct in assuming they were offering healthy sums of money to purchase the three naked white women.



There was not escape from the horny bastards staring at them. On the positive side of things, their guide did not sell them. On the negative side of it, what his friends were offering did not come close to what the Predonean reward was for turning the women over to the authorities. With much fanfare the guide replaced their wrist irons to prepare them for the arrival of the police.



They now stood naked and cuffed on the veranda under the horny herd that surrounded them. Little did they know their day would only get worse.

Some lovely orientalism!

The constable of Predonea arrived and took the women to what would now be called the town’s jail. He lined the women up before the jail’s entrance and took much pleasure in announcing these ‘flail’ women had killed many of their soldiers including several of their leaders. This drew rancorous jeers from the Predonean crowd.



Pleased with the crowd’s response but not yet satisfied with their level of anger, he announced all three women would be put to death as enemies of the state but promised the leader of the band would suffer a most hellacious execution usually reserved for captured male soldiers. The crowd roaring approved though the three women could only fear what that might be.

One by one he pulled the women forward and demanded to know if she was the leader.



Nadine was first. Though terrified by her situation, she cried out she was only defending her home from marauding bandits. This drew loud jeers from the unsympathetic crowd, yet she failed to move from her position.

Robyn was next and she was no more cooperative than Nadine, going so far as calling the Predonean army nothing but a group of wandering thieves. This did not please the crowd, drawing calls for her to be beheaded.

Ellen was pulled forward and she went so far as to accuse the constable and crowd no better than their army. This only drew demands all three should be put to death.



The constable jerked Ellen’s head back and declared “Not yet, people! We must know who the leader of these murdering bitches is. I will have them questioned and be sure there is public notification of when they will be executed.”

One could say the day was not going the women’s way.

One could indeed....

 

[thehangingtree]

‘Questioning’ in Predonea would not be allowed in the civilized world. Ellen, Nadine, and Robyn were taken to the building’s basement where their wrist irons were changed to iron collars suspended from chains. Their arms were hoisted over their heads and under the watchful eyes of the prison’s master, they were whipped while constantly asked which one was the leader.



Either they were stupidly dedicated to each other or they were telling the truth, they never changed their story that they were only defending their land from robbing bandits.

It was determined that separating them would help discover the truth. Ellen was taken to a different chamber where she was placed on a rack. They stretched her as far as they dared, not wanting to damage her body if she was the leader. After all, executing a broken woman would not please the crowd gathered to watch her die.



They tortured Ellen until she passed out. She never did reveal who their leader was. They left her bound on the rack, releasing the tension stretching her to allow her to recover for later tortures questioning.

While Ellen was being tortured on the rack, Nadine was bound kneeling with her wrists in irons just off the floor. Behind her a ruthless man asked her who was their leader. She exclaimed they were just land owners protecting their property from thieves. The man said “That ain’t gonna please the boss. I’ll ask you once more, who is the boss?”

Nadine screamed “NO ONE IS THE BOSS! We were protecting our land!”

The man sighed “That won’t please the boss. Looks like I’m going to have to fuck your ass till you talk.”

“You wouldn’t!” Nadine exclaimed.

But behind her the man dropped his pants and knelt between her spread legs. Dispassionately he said “This is going to hurt you more than it will me.”



Nadine squealed when his hard cock plunged into her ass, but over an hour of being sodomized, Nadine never revealed who was their leader.

Robyn was not doing better than her friends. In yet another room she was locked in a pillory.



The heavy wooden beams securing her bent over was the least of her worries. A man stood before her and sternly say “You have cost us many soldiers and several of our army’s leaders.”

“That was no army! It was a band of thugs stealing from or land” Robyn snarls craning her neck to see the man.

“Your opinion of our army matters not to us. You cost us many men and several senior leaders. Tell me now which of you was the leader.”

“Fuck you! It took no leader to beat your thugs! The only reason they captured us was the sheer number of them” Robyn growled.

“No, my dear, our men were away from friends and loved ones when you ambushed them…”

“We ambushed them? They were plundering our land” Robyn shouted.



“They were only searching for supplies. So to atone for their lost comrades, you will service the men from where you are” the man sneers.

“Oh, you wouldn’t” Robyn groaned. But from behind her, the first of many unseen soldiers enters her venerable pussy. Robyn screamed but it did not deter her violation.



One after another the men had their way with Robyn.



To her and her friends’ credit, they never revealed a leader. This was not a good thing for any of them…

 

[thehangingtree]

To say this was not a good thing for them was an understatement. The Predoneans even subjected them to the horrors of the wooden pony along with the whip.



Still the only thing they got out of the women were condemning curses of their mistreatment. They never name a leader of their bunch.

The leader of Predonea met with his top aide and the churches high cleric. He complained he was getting nothing useful out of the women. The aide suggested he let the women go. They had learned the futility of resisting Predonea’s army and were basically harmless. The Cleric looked at him like he was insane.



“Are you mad?” Archbishop Wragg demanded. “Letting them go would show our leader is weak against his enemies! They must be tried, found guilty of their crimes, and put to death as he would any captured enemy!”

“But his forgiveness would show he could be magnanimous by releasing the women” the aide argued.

The leader said “I’ll meet you both in the middle. They must be tied but get them a councilor for their defense. And make him the cheapest one you can find!”

So a man named T. H. Tree was hired to defend them. He met with the women the day before their trial. He didn’t mention that trials in Predonea were a mere formality to precede the accused of their sentence nor did he mention he had never won a case. The women again insisted they were defending their land and had done nothing wrong. Tree assured them he would do his best as leered as discretely as possible at their naked bodies.



The next day the women went to trial. Tree gave a strong argument the women were only defending their home from marauding bandits. As strong as his case was, it was questionable if the judges heard any of it.



Ellen, Nadine, and Robyn were dressed as all defendants were and it seems the judges paid more attention to the women’s bare bodies.

The women were found guilty and sentenced to the highest penalty an enemy of the state could be.

 

[thehangingtree]

Ellen, Nadine, and Robyn were convicted of being enemies of Predonea and sentenced to death. They were told they would be put to death by crucifixion. None of them were familiar with such a means of execution but were still fearful of having their lives terminated. They were held in the filthy cellars, chained so they could not harm themselves prior to whatever their crucifixions were.



Archbishop Wragg had each woman brought to his monastery so he could hear their confessions (and perhaps extract an admission from one of them that the torturers could not). Each woman was brought separately to him. It would make it easier for them to talk. He had met with Robyn and Ellen already and had been unsuccessful in getting any information from them. He was meeting with Nadine last. She, like the other two, was naked but for the rope binding her wrists and the barest of loincloth covering her intimate parts. The leader had them dress that way so as not to offend the holy man.



This annoyed the archbishop to no end because, though a man of the cloth, he was still a man first and would have preferred to see the ladies nude.

Nadine asked him if her crucifixion would take long. He told a half-truth that it would be over quickly. The nailing to the cross, even when it was men they were crucifying, took only minutes. A woman Nadine’s size would not take as long as a muscular soldier. Nailing her should go quickly.



Of course, he left out the debauchery the women would be subjected to once their wrists were spiked to the cross.



The archbishop knew even the horniest of men would lose any hint of their erections once their cross was raised, even with women staring at their cocks.



He knew once Ellen, Robyn, and Nadine were raised and hung from their outstretched arms, it would only enhance the look of their breasts protruding from their chests.



He could hardly wait to see her crucified!

Oooh, double treat day with two chapters in quick succession, is that because of the double cornus / double entendre?
Thanks @thehangingtree

You have to sympathise with the old buzzard....

 

[thehangingtree]

The day before Ellen, Nadine, and Robyn are to be crucified…

The less-than-successful defense attorney requested a meeting with his clients before they were crucified. To his amazement his request was somewhat allowed. He could meet with one of the women. It seems they had never heard of ‘crucifixion’ before and the Predoneans’ knowledge of the women’s tongue was somewhat limited. They assumed Tree might be a better linguist then he was a lawyer.

Much to the surprise of the Predoneans this caused a huge argument between the three women. Nadine and Robyn wanted to meet with Tree just to kill him for his shoddy defense work. Ellen was more interested in finding out what this crucifixion they were facing was about. Though understanding Nadine and Robyn’s desire to murder the lawyer, the two were already condemned to die and crucifying someone twice loses something the second time. In the end, Ellen was chosen to meet with Tree.

Ellen was no more impressed with Tree’s skill as a lawyer than the other two but she had not threatened to kill him. She was brought to the leader’s garden naked in standard prisoner’s garb where she waited on Tree’s arrival. He was ‘fashionably late’ and somewhat inebriated.

Tree staggered up to Ellen and was immediately greeted by an angry Ellen who, standing with arms crossed, huffed “I’m not going to hurt you. You could have come sober.”



Tree belched and slurred out “I wanted to know if you wanted me to notify anyone about… um… tomorrow.”

“I’m sure the news has gotten to anyone who might care. I have a question for you. What is this ‘crucifixion’ we are getting tomorrow?”

Tree is somewhat taken aback by the question. Though Ellen seemed sincere in her question, he could not believe she had no idea what it entailed. He stammered as he tried to explain what a crucifixion involved. He said she would be nailed to a cross and raised and hang from the cross until she died. Ellen was most impressed by the nailing to the cross. She said “That is ghastly! It must hurt terribly when that is done.”

Tree reminded her that her crucifixion was intended to put her and friends to death. He said whatever discomfort she felt before she died was of no concern to the Predoneans. Ellen pouted “That seems extremely cruel! Does it take long to die?”



Tree gave her as graphic a description of crucifixions as he dared, leaving out she could spend days hanging from the cross’ face and most likely would be naked as she was then.

One cannot be sure Ellen truly understood the torturous event she would suffer the next day other than she was almost as willing as her friends to kill Tree for his less-than-stellar defense.

The Predonean constables sent Tree away and returned Ellen to the cell with Nadine and Robyn. She described what Tree had told her about their crucifixion. Robyn seemed to take it with a grain of salt, even commenting “I hope they do us naked. I’d look good hanging nude from the cross!”



Ellen covered her ears exclaiming she did not want to hear about what would happen to them tomorrow…

 

[Wragg]

I’d look good hanging nude from the cross!

That you would will!
