Odalisque
“Yet another door opened and a stranger stepped into the arena. He was young and looked unsure of himself. Behind him came an even younger bearer, carrying a white linen cloth upon which lay the fierce Viper’s Nest. It was so called because the whip comprised six leather thongs, which currently curled around each other somewhat harmlessly but when unleashed could snap against a man’s back so fast and viciously they were akin to the movement of a viper. The cruel instrument was nicknamed the Snak...e; each thong forked into two, like a serpent’s tongue, and on the tip of each tongue was a tiny silver bead, sharp-edged and crafted deliberately to break skin.
Lazar swallowed hard, but to the onlookers he seemed unmoved by the arrival of the weapon. He had never seen the Snake used but he had heard of the intense injuries it could inflict. No wonder Salmeo was all but shivering in anticipation. Well, he would put on a good show for them and he would bleed hard but he would not cry out for mercy—he would sooner bite out his own tongue than vent a plea to these mongers of pain.MoreLess
