Chapter 18
Love and Amazons
While Scott and Derrick have been escorted to their rooms, the first seeds if dissent have been sown. The girls from the bath begin to talk to other girls about their experience. Unlike what they were taught, these men were not monsters. The tales handed down have always told how sex crazed men would attack women and force themselves upon them, raping them and causing a great deal of physical and emotional pain. The Amazon leaders pushed this as they believe that the best warriors are born of hatred and violence. That is why the seed bearers are always tied to a bed and the men are allowed to have their way with them. Not only does this create the violence that they want, but it also helps lend credence to the myth that men are nothing but sex crazed beasts that only think of their own pleasure. Unfortunately, the men who have been captured and forced to breed have been just that. When they see a naked woman tied to a bed, they attack her and force themselves upon her. It is a very one sided relationship, that greatly favors the man. This also makes sex seem negative to the Amazon women and keeps them from seeking mates on their own.
But Scott and Derrick are different. In the baths, they were caring and gentle. They were willing to pleasure the women with no thought of themselves. And the sexual contact felt good to the girls. Real good. It stirred something inside them that has been suppressed. It has made them question the beliefs they have been raised with. They were always led to believe that all men were evil. But these men are different. If they are different, perhaps others are too.
The word spreads quickly among the younger Amazons. They are too young to know of the outside world. Unlike the older women, they were born in the Amazon city and have only known this life. They were not there in the early days when the founders of the Amazon women were fighting for their lives. They once knew a peaceful life. But barbarians descended upon their village and killed all the men. They were taken as slaves, with hundreds of stinking, filthy barbarians forcing themselves upon the women, night after night. They were beaten and forced to eat scraps. They vowed that if they ever became free, they would exact their revenge upon all men. It was years that they were slaves. Long years that warped them and made them forget about the good men who were once a part of their lives. They forgot about their mates and sons. The memories of their fathers were lost under the constant barrage of violence and degradation. All that was left was a seething hatred that consumed and twisted them.
Then one night, a strange women came to the barbarian's camp. She was tall and beautiful and came in full armor. She wore a large helmet with her long blonde hair flowing out the back. While the barbarians were away on one of their raiding parties, she came to the lightly guarded camp and killed all the men. With her long sword and long shield, she quickly killed all the guards. It was like a dance as she gracefully moved in and out, killing each man with such precision that it was almost magical. Most of them were not the most skilled warriors and many were drunk, but her accomplishments were still amazing. One woman killing a dozen men. When she finished, she released all the women and armed them with whatever weapons they could find in the camp. She then gave a speech about how she was going to free them from their bondage and take them to a place where they could be safe from evil men. The women all cheered and gladly followed her. And that is how the Amazon city began. Soon, word spread of a safe haven for women. It was not long before more and more women came to join them. This new world was not a good place for women. Many cultures viewed them as property. But here they were equals. Here they had the combined might of their sisters to protect them.
As the Amazon's numbers grew, so did their influence. They soon created war parties and sent them out to free other imprisoned women and exact their revenge on men. They also used these raids as an opportunity to get weapons and tools. It did not take long for men to learn of this new threat and to try and squash it. A few groups of men came to kill the Amazons, only to find they sorely underestimated their strength and their courage. These women trained constantly and were among the most skilled warriors in all the world. And knowing what fate they faced if they lost, inspired them to train harder and become more skilled. And they used the men's own lust against them. A common trick they would play was to send out some pretty young girls who were completely naked and distract the men. While they were watching them, other Amazons would come out of hiding and slay them.
Scott paced back and forth in his room. Every so often, he would go over and knock on the door until Derrick would answer. While their rooms were next to each other, he hated not being able to see Derrick. After spending so much time locked in the dragon's cage, he hated the thought of being alone. And this waiting drove him insane. He went over and sat on the bed and thought about how much this felt like the dragon's cage. Sure, it was cleaner and he had a nice bed to sleep on, but he was still a prisoner. He cannot believe that he let Derrick talk him into being captured. Sure, the thought of having sex with many women was appealing, especially since he is still a virgin. But he had that taste of freedom and did not want to give it up. And while he cannot be hurt, he is still worried that he will not get free. And that scares him more than anything.
His worrying is quickly gone as four Amazon women march into the room. "Come puppy, time to sow your seed." one of the guards says as they walk with their spears pointed at him. He gets up and goes willingly. "So which one of you are the lucky one?" Scott asks in a cocky voice. While he is frightened inside, he wants to put on a tough guy image. Derrick always told him that women like tough guys and he figured he would try it. But his small size and geeky looks keep him from being tough. If anything, it comes across quite comical. One of the Amazons backhands him across the face and says "You are not man enough for us. Now shut your mouth while you still can." Scott is angered and for a moment considers lashing back at the woman. But common sense prevails and he restrains himself. He knows that if they discover he is invincible, things may change drastically. But as long as they think they have the upper hand, things should be fine. He goes peacefully with them as they take him from the room.
On the beach, the men have a fire going. Knowing that the Amazons will not return for a few weeks, they can rest. The chief and the rest of his men finally see a different side to the men they found on the beach. Unlike the frightened men they saw during the day, they now see relaxed men who are eating and enjoying the fire. For a week after the Amazons come, they enjoy life. They enjoy it as much as they can knowing that their life may be over soon. This sense of live every day as it is your last permeates them. They break out their hidden reserves of liquor that they make from fermented bananas, watermelon and sugar cane. They hunt for the biggest pig they can find and kill it. They swim the lagoon, .looking for crabs and fish to eat. And they throw a huge bonfire and feast. They eat until they are stuffed and drink until they pass out. Howlingmad is excited by this and joins in. He also likes to live life on the edge. He grabs a coconut shell that they use as a cup and dips in the barrel of watermelon and banana liquor and drinks it down. The flavor is strange, an odd mix of sweet and sour, but the alcohol content is high and its effects are quick. After he finishes his first cup, he is already feeling a little woozy. A strange smile comes over his face as he looks at the others. "Strange but good." is all he says as he goes over and fills his coconut cup again.
The Chief and Bearslayer look on and wonder if it is safe to let loose. Eightdigit, still hurt from the loss of his friend, decides he needs to have some fun. So he goes over and grabs one of the hollowed out coconut shells and also dips it into the barrel. He takes a small sip to taste it and finds that while not delicious, it is not bad tasting either. He looks over at the Chief and says "It is pretty good. It does have a kick." Some of the men come over and grab the Chief and Bearslayer by the hand and say "Come on, live today, for tomorrow may never come." They are hesitant to join in, but everyone is urging them along. With a little more coaxing, they finally get up and join in the celebration. It is not long before they are also feeling the effects of the alcohol and soon the whole group is dancing around the beach, singing and having a good time. For the first time since they left the dragon village, they are having fun. The party goes on into the wee hours of the night before everyone passes out from fatigue and being drunk.
The Amazons take Scott to a different house. He can see a light inside through the window. One of the guards opens the door, while the others forcibly push him in, He falls to the floor and looks back as one of the guards says "We will return later, have your fun." She then spits at him as she slams the door. He hears the sound of locks as they insure he does not leave. As he rises to his feet and brushes himself off, he looks over in the corner of the room and sees something unexpected. There is a large bed in the corner with a young girl tied to it. She is completely naked, lying on the bed with both her hands and both of her feet bound. She looks over at Scott with a scared look in her eye. He walks over to the bed, staring at her. She feels very uncomfortable as he stares at her breasts and nether region. He then looks into her eyes and asks "Why are you tied up?" She struggles a little as she tries to break free. She knows what is coming and while she agreed to it, she is having second thoughts. The women of the Amazon village choose one of two professions. The first one is being a soldier. The second is being a citizen. The soldier position is self descript. Your duties are to protect the village and the queen. You train for battle from a very early age and your entire life is about learning to fight and defend. The citizens do everything else. They grow the food and cook it. They rear the young and keep the city clean. They also provide the entertainment as they put on plays and have concerts. The queen is a very big supporter of the arts and feels it elevates them above the barbarians that they are constantly in battle with. Where they use the books and paintings of the old world for kindling, the Amazons save and preserve it. They have built libraries and museums to house the relics of the old world and to study them. But a part of being a citizen is being a mother. You are expected to be in a pool of women who allows themselves to be raped by a man in order to become pregnant. Most women only have one or two children. The experience is too traumatic for them to want to do it more than that. And it can take a few tries to become pregnant. But when they do become pregnant, they are treated like royalty and waited on hand and foot. And if they have a girl baby, they are given special treatment. But if they have a boy baby, they are looked down upon for awhile. The baby is taken away by the guards. No one knows what happens to the baby. Most assume they kill the baby, but there are rumors that they leave them in the camps of other humans.
He is now at the foot of the bed and he looks at her face. She has some natural make-up on her and her hair is made up. She looks very pretty with her long blonde hair and soft skin. Once again, Scott asks "Why are you tied up?" She tries to twist her body so she can cover up her nakedness, but the binds are too tight and all she does is squirm. "Don't hurt me too much?" she says as she closes her eyes and turns her head. "Why would I hurt you?" he asks as he sits down on the bed next to her. She opens her eyes and looks over. "Because you are a man. That is what you do. Take what you want." Once again, she closes her eyes and turns her head. "I don't understand. Why are you naked and tied to this bed?" Her eyes open again as she is confused. She was always taught that the first few minutes were the worst as the man would ravage you. But nothing has happened. She feels shame but nothing else. He has not even touched her yet. "I am your prisoner. You can have your way with me." she says as she looks at him with a mad look. "You have gotta to be joking. I can't just do...well, you know what. I don't even know your name." Now she is really confused. Does he not find her attractive? Is she than worthy of receiving his seed? "Do you not find me attractive?" she asks as she hopes to get some answers. He smiles and says "Yeah, you are very beautiful. But I know nothing about you. I can't just do that." While this is her first encounter with a man, she is sure it is not supposed to be like this. Her mother and other women of the village, filled her head with tales of their encounters. They spoke of the pain and the humiliation they endured. But they also spoke about the treatment afterwards as they were pampered and the joy of motherhood. It was enough for her to agree to do it. "You are a man?" she asks as she hopes she can guilt him into taking her. Scott jumps up and says "Yeah, I'm a man." She then looks him in the eye and says "Then be a man and take me. Stab your manhood into me and fill me with your seed." Scott turns away from her and says "This is wrong, all wrong. Sex is not supposed to be like this. It is supposed to beautiful, special." He then turns and looks at her. A sad look comes over her face. "Then show me what it is supposed to be like?" He smiles and nods yes. He then unties her hands and feet. She sits up on the bed, next to him and says "What do we do now?" He reaches over and touches her face. At first she flinches. A lifetime of hatred towards men is hard to erase. But when he softly strokes her face, she calms a little. "First we touch each other softly. She slowly raises her hand and caresses his face. "Like this?" He smiles and says "Yeah, that is nice." He then moves closer to her and says "What is your name?" She looks deep into his eyes and says "My name is Ashley." He smiles as he runs his fingers through her hair. "Hello, Ashley, my name is Scott." She likes the feel of his hand in her hair. He then says as he moves closer "Now we kiss." She looks at him and says "What is kiss?" He smiles as he says "We touch lips. Here, I will show you.” He then softly kisses her on the lips. She feels a charge through her body as he kisses her. She is not sure what it is, but it feels good. She looks at him as his eyes are closed and wonders what he is doing. He keeps kissing her slowly on the lips. She pulls away and asks “Why do you close your eyes?” He laughs as he says “I don’t know. It is just what we do when we kiss.” He then puts his arms around her and slowly moves her onto the bed. “Now we do what is called foreplay.” As his fingers work their way to her breasts, she feels strange sensations. She has never been touched there by another person. She heard stories of how men violently squeezed and bite them, but Scott is doing neither. What he is doing feels really good. As the night moves on, she finds that sex is not as bad as her mother described. It is not the horrible experience she expected. Rather, it is very good and while there is some pain, being her first time, she really enjoyed it.
