The Chronicles of Slave Nano No.4: The First and Failed Mission to Rescue Goddess Eostra's Magical Talismans
By Slave Nano
Inspired by Goddess Nemesis
"Now, Slave Nano, I will offer you some sustenance before you depart on your mission."
Goddess Nemesis's words had brought me back to earth. I knew that the time had come that I would have to serve Her again in a time of dire need for the Goddesses. It was as if I was emerging from an enchantment; the Goddess's words were like an mystical mist that had engulfed me and left me entranced for an age. I was spread out on her rack, my ankles secured to spreader bars, my wrists cuffed and locked onto the side of the rack, my body wrapped tightly in a cold iron chain. Clamps were still secured to my nipples and tight clamps gripped my balls. The waves of pain mingled with Goddess' mesmerising words and washed through me transporting me into the magical place that she described. I lay there in silence, my head spinning, trying to piece together the complex web of directions and talismans that Goddess had weaved in my mind. The gentle touch of her gloved hand on my upper arm as her words wove their magic only served to lure me deeper and deeper into another world. Sensuous beyond any mere physical sexual desire that gentle touch entwined with Goddess's alluring voice and magical words transported me into another place; into one of the Goddess's magical realms.
And now I was punch drunk with the visions that swirled in my head – cuckoo clocks, golden primroses, swans and golden shells, emerald chandeliers and a mystical forest with a fairy tale castle swam around in my head.
"Slave Nano, this will help you on your journey. It is a feast fitting for the mission that I have set you."
Whilst emerging from my dream like state I was conscious of Goddess sat next to me breaking a sausage and dropping pieces into a bowl that contained her golden waters. She held a piece of sausage imbued with her waters and held it over my open expectant mouth. I bit a piece off, its surface moist with goddess's golden wine and slowly chewed on the sausage meat, drawing in the sustenance that was offered me. I knew that this would provide me with fortitude for the ordeals that awaited me. I knew also that, being soaked in the waters from Goddess's own body, this would provide me with spiritual guidance as well. I took in every bite, every sip, slowly and purposefully knowing that it was part of Goddess's purpose for me and that it was critical to the success of the mission. I sucked the warm waters from her pvc gloved hand and drank every last drop of her golden wine from the bowl.
Goddess spoke to me again, "You must not fail. You understand the importance of your mission. The Goddesses have called on me, as the Goddess of fate and retribution, and I have offered you as my slave to provide them with assistance."
"I understand the importance of this mission, Goddess," I whispered.
"You must restore Goddess Eostra's talismans to her – her nine white swans, her nine magical hares and her nine virgin hand maidens. This will restore part of her power. I don't think you will be able to re-capture her magical mirror this time, but any information you can find will help you in any future mission to recover it."

I had travelled to the pretty medieval town of Hoxter near the River Weser, deep in the heavily forested Harz Mountains of Germany. My directions from Goddess Nemesis were to find the shop of the Jewish clockmaker, Hanz Springstein, an old fashioned clock maker specialising in cuckoo clocks. The village was picturesque with its brightly painted wooden buildings lining a delightfully cobbled street. It was a chocolate box scene. Yet, there was something unsettling about the atmosphere there. The main village street was empty and windswept, the paint on the buildings, which should have been bright and cheerful, was cracked and worn. As I walked purposefully up the street in search of the clockmakers shop I sensed lace curtains being drawn aside and suspicious eyes peering at this stranger. It was clear to me that the usurpers in the castle, whose fairy tale turrets I could see in the distance towering over the heavy woods, had spread their influence over the whole area.
I found the only clockmakers in the village and entered; the cow bell above the shop's door rang. I cast my eyes around the shop, which was jammed full of beautifully crafted cuckoo clocks. The shop was a testament to the art and skills of centuries of clock making. The noise of countless minutes permeated the air. Hanz Springstein, the old clockmaker came in from his workshop, his sharp eyes, framed by a mane of thick white hair, stared at me appraisingly over his round metal rimmed spectacles.
"You have a marvellous array of time pieces here," I commented fixing his eyes knowingly.
"Are you looking for anything in particular," he asked.
I replied, "I wonder if you have a clock with carvings of primroses and eggs, it is a present for Easter to give to the special lady in my life."
"All of the clocks here have been lovingly made by my own hands, I find it hard to single one out. I can see you have very discerning tastes. I think I have just the thing for you."
He climbed onto a footstool and reached up precariously to remove a particular clock from the wall. It was a marvellous piece of craftsmanship. The cuckoo was almost life-like as if its beady eyes were really staring at you. On one side of the clock there was a primrose etched with gold leaf onto the pine wood and on the other side a golden egg.
"I will take this one," I said eagerly, "handing over some bank notes for him. I can see that the craftsmanship is magnificent. The detail in your carving is very skilled."
