In the far northern reaches of the realm, the domain of icy winters and wild ways, Asleif and her clan of hunters and warriors fought for survival. She belonged to the Nidrbjorn lineage, a long succession of matriarchs that had led her clan - The Winterborne. For centuries she, and her mother before her, and her mother before her, and so forth for countless generations, had stood as a beacon of warrior strength and maternal resilience amidst the unforgiving tundras and alpine forests they call home.
In her role, she epitomized this legacy of strong, maternal warriors; her body was lithe and athletic, both her agility and strength built up from years of hunt and battle; she was a selfless and fearless leader, the image of a kind and protective mother to all her people, even in her young age; and her body had the undeniable allure of feminine beauty and fertility, her generously endowed assets contrasted against her muscled waist and limbs. Her hair was black, which was associated with the wisdom and cunning of ravens, and her eyes were blue like the open sky. In all, she was the image of the power that a woman can possess.
There are many stories of her great feats, both as a warrior and as a leader. But this story is of her defeat and the shame and humiliation that followed.
For many years, there had been a rivalry between the Winterborne, and a neighboring tribe known as the Wolf-sons. They were also a people of warriors and hunters, but they were orcs. Led by a Warlord known as Gronash, their culture was harsh, based on ideals of domination, conquest, and pure strength rather than the community and fraternity that the Witnerborne embraced.
Although conflicts had previously arisen, these had been small incidents, only hints at the larger conflict that was soon to come. For, one year, as the winter was particularly cruel, and food ran scarce, the tensions between the two people who so often were forced to share hunting grounds simply could not bear it any longer. With the deepest weeks of winter just over a month away, the two people descended into war.
It was a brutal affair, and it did not end with the onset of the winter. Indeed, it continued through the snowy months, and well into spring. For close to a year, the two clans were caught in warfare. Asleif would conduct hunts on Gronash's people, ambushing them at any sign of vulnerability and using her people's nack for stealth and archmenship. In turn, Gronash would ochestrate great raids where his men rode in on wolf-back to spread terror deep into Winterborne territory.
By this point, the feud was etched in blood. The original grievances of arguments over access to natural resources were forgotten, and now it was a matter of honor and revenge. Blood on the snow begets more blood on the snow.
In the end, it would be Gronash and his orcs that were the winners. Despite Asleif's cunning tactics and unwavering leadership, Gronash's strength and pure brutality eventually began to tip the scales in his favor. His relentless assaults forced her people to retreat from the reaches of their territory, finding safety in numbers behind walls. This was, however, a strategy doomed to fail, and Asleif knew this. Unable to venture beyond their walls, it was just a matter of time before the humans grew hungry and weak, leaving her people vulnerable to the orc horde's relentless advance. And as winter was once again approaching, she knew that Gronash wouldn't make them wait long.
She had been right. Impatient to taste his victory, and to crush the stubborn humans, he and his orc warriors descended upon Rukristed, the large town that rested at the heart of the Winterborne territory. They crashed through the palisade walls and rampaged through the streets. The clash of steel and the roar of battle echoed through the icy air as the defenders fought valiantly against the orcs. But in the end, they were overwhelmed.
The orcs pillaged and ravaged everything in their path, led by their leader. Asleif rallied her warriors and herded together as many of her people as she could, before they fled to the great hall at the heart of their own, where they made their final stand. There, Gronash and Asleif finally came to blows, in a savage duel of ax against ax. Without too much difficulty, Gronash defeated Asleif and disarmed her. As the last vestiges of resistance were struck down around them, Gronash moved to seize the matriarch.
As Asleif struggled against the overwhelming might of Gronash, her defiance flickered against the tempest of his brutal strength. Despite her best efforts, kicking and punching and swearing, Gronash overpowered her. His fingers wrapped around her arm, and with a cruel laugh, he hoisted Asleif from the ground. His other hand took her around the neck, her lithe form no match for his overwhelming power. Helpless against his onslaught, she was forced down over the very long table where she once held court, now defiled by the orc's vile presence.
The weight of defeat pressed upon her as Gronash pinned her with relentless force, her struggles futile against his iron grip. All around her, her proudest warriors were dead and beaten, valorous roars being shared among the orcs. Behind them loomed Asleif's throne, a testament to her once-unassailable authority, now rendered hollow in the face of Gronash's conquest.
She laid on her stomach, bent over the edge of the short side of the table. Her feet barely touched the ground, unable to find solid footing to mount a resistance. Behind her stood Gronash, his hands on her wrists, firmly planting them to the table. The hard oak she laid on offered no respite from the ache that Gronash's grasp caused her.
She spat vile venom at him with her words. "Destroy my town, defeat my people, but you will never break us!" She said, a daring challenge. Gronash simply laughed. He already had his price, and he had conquered her land and her people. Now, with her lying beneath him, there was only one last conquest for him to engage in.
With one hand on the back of her head, his course fingers entangled in her hair, he pressed her face into the hard table. The other hand roamed free over her body, racing along the hour-glass contour of her waist and hip. For the moment, her body was kept safe within thick furs and plate armor. But these were the illusion of safety, and Gronash wasted no time in removing them. One clasp at a time, the metal armor fell off her body, each with a fateful clank that echoed in the large hall. The fur coat she wore was cut up with a sharp knife, and soon all she wore were some linen trousers and a linen shirt.
With each article of clothing removed, Asleif attempted to revolt. She scratched at Gronash's arm, but his thick, leathery skin was almost impervious to such weak attacks. Whenever she would try to squirm away, he would place a hand on her hip and force her to remain in place. Her every movement was a silent plea for mercy in the face of his relentless advance. But her struggles were in vain, her strength no match for the overpowering might of her conqueror.
And then, as the last of her armor fell away, Asleif lay exposed and vulnerable beneath Gronash's predatory gaze. His eyes fixated on her ass, and he greedily drank in the sight of her alluring proportions. Her voluptuous curves were laid bare before him, a tantalizing blend of strength and femininity that stirred a primal hunger within him. His free hand slipped in under her shirt and felt her mid-section.
Her stomach was slim and muscled, but not quite hard. A soft layer of skin laid over her warrior muscles. His hand then slid across her waist, tracing the curvature of her hip, to her behind. With a satisfied groan, a guttural sound of approval, he grasped the hem of her pants and pulled them down. They landed in a pool around her feet, caught by her ankles. Her legs kicked uselessly, pinned between Gronash's firm body and the table she was laid out across.
With an eager hand, Gronash reveled in revealing the full expanse of her luscious form. His breath caught in his throat as he beheld the contrast between the soft, feminine allure of her ample hips, thighs, and voluptuous ass, set against the backdrop of her slim, muscled waist.
Desire surged through his body, his manhood twitching at the sight beneath him, and the physical sensation of her soft, squishy flesh under his hand. At the twitch of his cock, a growl escaped his lips. Raw, primal urges were taking Gronash over, and he was more than happy to surrender to them.
Knowing what was to come, Asleif struggled with grim determination. She fought against the crushing weight of his hold, but try as she might, she could not break free from the iron shackles that was his grip. As Gronash's dominance asserted itself over her, Asleif felt a bitter mix of anger and shame course through her veins. Though her spirit remained unbroken for the moment, the knowledge of her defeat weighed heavily upon her soul. Her thoughts were with her people, whom she knew was being abused by orcs, just as she was in that moment.
Just then, Gronash spoke. "Asleif," he commanded, his voice carrying the weight of his conquest, "you have proven to be a formidable leader, a worthy adversary on the battlefield. But the time for games and battles has passed. Now, it is time for you to learn your true place." His voice was deep, coming like a rumble from within his chest.
With callous indifference, he continued; "You may have commanded your warriors and ruled over your people with strength and cunning, but it was not enough. And now, I will remind you of something..."
Gronash's hand, rough and possessive, traced the curve of Asleif's left ass cheek, his touch a violation that sent shivers of revulsion down her spine. With a sickening sense of entitlement, he groped and fondled her body as if she were nothing more than a prized trophy to be admired and enjoyed at his leisure. And then, he punctuated his touch with a rough slap to her ass.
As his open palm struck her soft flesh, a wave coursed through her. The voluptuous, pillowy cheek rippled, and then the sharp pain. But it was more the humiliation of the action than the pain, the way he toyed with her the way a beast might toy with it's caught prey.
