Whatever strength I have left is channeled, every nerve cell charged and focussed, and I bend my knee, drawing my foot toward me??.and then fire it up and out. I barely hear the sharp crack of my sole?s impact upon your jaw when my side of the circle explodes in cheers, and as the cries rise to the Great Spirits above, I feel your body become flaccid, all fight drained from it.
I know it is over, even before the chiefs decree it, and I release your legs from my grip, rolling over your thigh and springing to my feet. You lay below me, eyes closed, chest rising and falling slowly, a defeated warrior, and a humbled princess. As I glance to my father, his face remains stoic?-it would be inappropriate for him to express his pleasure or pride at this moment, lest he appear to gloat. The Caiapo king instead kneels before my father, removes his chieftain?s necklace and headdress, and places them at my father?s feet. Cheers again explode from half of the gathered, and at that moment, our nation has more than doubled, and the tribe known as the Caiapo ceases to exist.
My eyes return to your unconscious, nude form at my feet. You fought well, but not well enough. Yet you earned my respect, well, as much as I could have for a weak slut. Wedging my foot under your side, I kick you over and watch you flop to your stomach. It is within my right to humiliate you now, no one would stop me or judge me for doing so. I place my right foot on your back, and then stand upon your beaten body. My left foot slides to the back of your head, my toes tangling into your matted hair. As i continue to stand atop you, I lift your head from the ground with my foot, and then SLAM it back down into the sand, continuing to press on the back of your head, grinding your face into the fine powder below us.
?Kroika!? bellows my father. He has seen enough, evidently, and wants to move the tribes into healing mode. I step off you, and saunter to the circle side, where a swarm of onlookers from both nations greet me, offering fine silks, jewels, and perfumes as they begin to worship their new Princess.
The End
