She wrapped his chain around her knuckles twice before leading him into a dimly lit hallway of carved sandstone. His eyes wandered to the intricate carvings illuminated in flickering firelight. Detailed depictions of slaves lashed to wooden Xs being whipped by people in corsets, chariots pulled by teams of slaves lashed together like horses, depictions of buildings he recognized from the Aswan skyline, and at the center of it was a pair of familiar eyes depicted in amber and rubies.
"Keep moving slave!" Karme's voice bellowed as she pulled him forward.
He stumbled slightly, his left foot swung wildly to catch himself. Silently he grimaced at his captor, but couldn't help but notice how plump and round her ass was.
Tracing his eyeline, she flashed him a knowing smile with too white teeth.
"We've got a lot of work to do if we're going to get you cleaned up. Be a good boy for Fawny and I, and
maybe
I'll sit on your face while she rides your modest cock."
He said nothing in protest or support, rather he silently trudged forward. The rock hard erection creating a tent of his dirt caked loincloth spoke volumes more than he could.
Karme led him into a chamber adorned with an inground pool of water fed by a stone facade of a mermaid with spouts for nipples. Parallel to that he saw an obsidian table where the ginger woman from the previous room was setting out gleaming examination tools.
Maximus wondered how she'd gotten there before the two of them.
Karme led him forward, taking great pleasure in randomly jerking his chain and interrupting his stride.
"Red Nine, have our newest arrival stripped, bathed, and cleaned up." She passed the lead to the ginger woman and seated herself on a red velvet fainting couch pushed against one wall.
The ginger woman bowed her head and lowered her eyes as she took the lead. "Yes mistress." She giggled.
Leading him to the table she clipped one end of his chain to a metal hook embedded in the sandstone. Perpetually in his peripheral he could see Karme on the couch, she'd peeled off her left gold pastie and began to encircle her nipple with her index finger. He could see her other hand was busy teasing herself through the fabric of her black undergarments.
The ginger popped up, her head at hip height, brandishing a pair of angled scissors.
"I'm afraid that loincloth simply won't do."
They sliced through the strip of leather keeping the entire ensemble together. It fell away to the ground and Karme hooted in response. He tried to turn his head to look at her, but as soon as he did he felt a sharp crackle of electricity from beneath his feet.
"Please, keep your eyes forward. The chain is enchanted to keep you in place." Red Nine commented as she retrieved a yellow measuring tape from the obsidian table. She placed a thin metal strip beneath his feet and it rose to his full height.
"One-hundred and eighty centicubits tall mistress."
As she spoke a scroll of parchment levitated and unfurled itself from the table. It was joined by a quill that quickly scribbled his information as she spoke. Shimmering with a blue arcane energy they hovered near Red Nine.
"He weighs a little over eleven kilocobbles mistress." She continued.
Keeping his head still, he looked around the room. Karme had now pulled her panties to the side and was petting her pussy with her index and middle. Red Nine's gaze was fixated on him, wide doe-like eyes drinking him in.
"I count sixteen scars so far. Slave lift up your feet and arms for me."
He did so and she approached. A panel in the sandstone ceiling opened and a pair of manacles shimmering with blue arcane energy hovered down to his wrists. Cold metal snapped around his wrists with a sharp click that sent ripples off the bathwater. The manacles pulled upwards, extending his arms to their full length. For a moment he thought he saw Red Nine in his peripheral wading into the bath, but that couldn't be because she was right in front of him.
"That makes twenty scars total."
Karme moaned in response.
"You may put your feet down, slave. No tattoos to speak of, we've got the device already heated up though, mistress."
"Do it." Karme's voice was tinged with ecstasy.
From the obsidian table she retrieved a black iron rod that terminated in a red hot glowing disk three centicubits in diameter. To it, she affixed another disk emblazoned with a skull on it. She took it and plunged it down just below his right collarbone.
It burned and stung as the device's one hundred needles simultaneously stabbed into him. Each one injected a little ink that left a perfect copy of the skull imprinted in his skin. She replaced the skull disc with one that matched Rai's bullseye eyes and repeated the process.
"These tattoos not only brand you as having served as a slave for mistresses Ouralia and Rai, but any mistress of arcane persuasion may read them to acquire your height, weight, blood type, and any other physical data we collect during our..." she trailed off, a mischievous look crept across her face. "Assessment" she finally said. "Each time you are sold off to another mistress you will be tattooed and your information shall be updated. Any questions?"
Maximus attempted to speak but a bolt of electricity arced up through his body. His words turned to cries of agony and the shocks grew stronger. Falling to his knees, the only thing keeping him from falling completely to the floor were the magic manacles above his head. He clamped his mouth shut and through gritted teeth could feel residual static electricity arcing between them.
"Oh I forgot, you're a Reman." She teased. "Dogs can't talk. Speak cur!"
He glowered up at her, his face wracked with rage. He opened his mouth to swear at her once more only to be greeted with another bolt of electricity.
"Someone can't listen to directions can they?" She grabbed his hair and pulled his head up. "I said, speak cur."
Maximus barked for Red Nine and it echoed off the sandstone walls. She extended a bare foot in pale flesh toward him.
