The slave, blindfolded and bound to a St. Andrew's cross, shudders as the two mistresses circle him like predators. Their heels click on the stone floor, echoing ominously in the cold, damp room. One mistress, her voice as harsh as her touch, commands, "Kneel!" The slave complies, his body tensing as he awaits the next act of their cruel game. The other mistress, more refined but no less sadistic, runs a gloved hand over the slave's cheek, whispering, "You will learn to obey, slave. In every way."
