Yena and The Ying and Yang By Mike Yena had time to watch the young Amazon Gabrielle perform in the Squat Smother event ... CHAPTER I This story takes place when Yena was young. Yena, as with most people, was neither all bad nor good. She had this complex internal conflict between good and evil. Like the Korean symbol of two tear drop like shapes, one black to represent evil, and one white one to signify good. Each symbol chases the others tail into eternity. All of us, as we go through the monotony of our daily lives, are constantly torn by this internal conflict of good versus evil. We now look at a young Yena prior to her fall and turn to the, borrowing a Star Wars term, "Dark Side". This journey takes her to a place deep in ancient mythology "Atlantis!" Yena waited patiently at the dock along with the other passengers. The passengers, an assorted group of families and merchants, watched in boredom as a large number of slaves were led onto the ship. Most of us, in our modern world look upon slavery as horrible, which it is. However, in the ancient world, prior to the industrial revolution, slavery was a common accepted fact. People had slaves right up to the American Civil War. Slavery still exists to this day in parts of Africa and Asia. One women standing near Yena remarked, "salt mines." This sent a cold shiver up Yena's back. The salt mines of North Africa were the worst fate any slave could contemplate. Today we might conjure up the images of a slaves as some poor household servant of a Roman senator. Yet, for every household slave there were literally hundreds or thousands of slaves consigned to backbreaking labor in remote mines or farms. Yena felt particularly sorry for the young frail slaves, they would die a slow agonizing death in the hot unforgiving glare of an African sun. Yena was in an adventuresome mood. She had just turned 20 and was looking for excitement and travel. Her warrior skills had not been fine tuned yet, though as a young girl, often bested the males of her village in wrestling. Her outstanding swordsmanship and acrobatics had not yet been developed. During the voyage to Crete many of the passengers got seasick - then there was the storm. A violent storm arose the tossed the frail ship about like a log. The sails were quickly torn to shreds. The captain, a wise old sea dog, had no choice but to put in at an Atlantian port. Atlantis was a remote and mysterious land. Atlantis maintained trade with the Mediterranean countries but that was all. They avoided all other contact. Everyone in the ancient Mediterranean cultures was aware of Atlantis but few had actually set foot on its soil. Yena was thrilled and excited at the prospect of visiting this mysterious land. Slowly the creaking hulk nudged its way towards Atlantis. The captain was particularly anxious to put into a port for numerous pirates lurked in the area and a fat, hulking, badly damaged merchant ship would be easy pickings. Days later a lookout shouted excitedly that he spotted land. Yena strained her eyes. The sun was so bright and full that she had to squint hard. Then a vague fog shrouded shape began to take form. She then made out two sleek Atlantian warships coming out to challenge them. The cargo ships' captain, after much haggling, managed to secure three days for repairs. The price would be the slaves. Our old grizzled captain was glad to be rid of them, after such a violent storm they were so sick that they wouldn't bring much of a price in Africa anyway. One of the warships took them in tow and soon the island kingdom of Atlantis unfolded before them. Yena went forward to take in as much of it as possible. The harbor was so clean and neat. The Atlantian ships didn't use sails but some secret propulsion system the made a slight humming noise as they almost silently glided past. Gold adorned everything. Even the sailors, generally the lowest and roughest of a bread, had large gold belt buckles. Yena then looked up in awe. Five huge dormant volcanos dominated Atlantis. They were all massive and there peaks perennially shrouded in clouds. However one massive volcano stood out from the rest "The old man" it was called. The sight of such a monster frightened Yena. An Atlantian sailor standing near Yena had noticed her fear when looking upon such a massive monster. He was tall and blonde with deep blue eyes like the ocean that surrounded them. He was quite a handsome catch for any young women. "Yeah, the Old Man is sure a terrifying sight". He stated while coiling up the tow rope. "Lucky it's dormant otherwise." he added then let his sentence trail off. Finally the passengers were allowed to disembark. Yena was one of the first off. With eyes full of wonder and excitement she walked the crowded streets of Atlantis. The first thing she noticed was how beautiful the people were. They were tall and mostly blonde. Yena was just as tall but had long jet black hair which set her apart from the rest. Many women walked about in public topless or even nude. This raised no concern. The human body was revered in Greece and even the Olympics were conducted in the nude. People in the ancient Mediterranean cultures quite often walked about nude. Yena had been to Sparta and it seemed "everyone" went about naked. Some of them, she mused, she wished had been clothed. The women that were clothed wore very short pure white skirts that barely covered all their "charms". Intricate brocades of golden thread were woven into these loose fitting skirts. In today's world their cloths resembled an abbreviated tennis dress embossed with beautiful gold designs. Yena was determined to buy one of these striking skirts. Her first project was a bath. The huge heated public baths were free and open to both genders. Yena noticed attendants positioned around the springs to hand out towels to bathers. No one glared or leered over her body when Yena removed her cloths. If anyone looked at her it was because of her long black hair that labeled her as an outsider. To her right some small children were romping and having great fun splashing in the warm water. To her left were two young women about Yena's age -twins. "Hi" One of the twins said to Yena. Yena then exchanged pleasantries and small talk with them. "I've just got to get one of these sexy little outfits you Atlantian women all wear." Yena stated. "No problem, we know just the shop," The other added. They all dressed and headed to the central part of town. The twin's names were Hipparete and Xanthippe. Both were tall blondes with long sexy legs. They kept their long blonde hair tied up and piled high which added to their height. Yena immediately took a liking to these blonde beauties and soon they were laughing and joking with one another like old friends. Haggling over merchandise, be it skirts or swords, has traditionally been common throughout the Mediterranean and Atlantis was no different. After much arguing and several "let's go someplace else" or "the same one is cheaper at another shop down the street" Yena secured her skirt. She changed into it right their in the shop. Several tops were available but she decided to go topless for the time being. Hipparete asked her newfound friend Yena what her plans were. Yena didn't really have any. All she knew was that her ship sailed in a couple days. The twins then presented Yena with a job offer. The twins worked for their mother whom employed a number of women and girls as Goltars. Yena was familiar with the term and even went to a Goltar arena in Athens several times. Goltars were specially selected women and girls that eliminated unfit slaves as offerings to the gods. The victims were, at least in the arenas Yena had been to, wrestled down sat on and slowly smothered. Atlantis didn't have arenas but did have several Goltar houses that smothered slaves. Sitting on and smothering young males was an accepted part of everyday life in the Mediterranean cultures. Many women and girls, even Yena, had partaken of this delicious pastime but never in a professional capacity. Goltars were a bit different, they smothered slaves for a living. Because they offered constant sacrifices to the gods they were revered throughout Mediterranean society. It was an old and ancient tradition and such positions were eagerly sought after by many young women. The slaves, for that part, were ecstatic to be selected. They would be cleaned, given good hot meals and slowly smothered by beautiful women. What a majestic and beautiful death they faced. Much better than some lonely death coughing out your lungs in a dark mine or slave pen. True, slavers could easily put a sword through the chest of an unfit slave but, being a superstitious lot, they preferred to turn them over to the Goltars as a sacrifice. Also, the young of any politician or military leader that fell from power would have their sons turned over to the Goltars. Yena didn't hesitate but immediately agreed. As they made their way to the Goltar house Yena thought of those poor dirty slaves being led onto the ship. Perhaps she might smother some of them. The thought cheered her up immensely. Yena's recollection of the Goltar arenas of Athens wasn't very clear. She did remember a lot of betting going on in the stands and the wrestling quick and violent. A victim would be quickly brought down and smothered to the cheers of the crowd. She surmised that Goltar House would offer more refined, relaxed smothers. The Goltar House was spacious with an inner courtyard. The women and girls were arranged in various large rooms along its perimeter. Yena glanced into some and noticed women of all ages astride victims. Some of the girls were quite young. She wondered how could they ever make a kill of a male sometimes twice their size. Then she noticed one young girl atop a male. She was frantically pumping hard on him. That answered Yena's question. Having performed numerous smothers herself back in her old village Yena was familiar with the positions the women were using. The common straddle smother, reverse straddle smother, full body smother or "69", upper thigh head scissors, squat smother (forward and reverse) and breast smother. Yena saw every one of these positions being used and a few new ones she'd never tried yet. As expected the victims were laying still and hardly resisting, they didn't even need to be bound. Young girls, probably slaves themselves, were busily removing bodies and directing fresh victims to the various rooms. A tall middle-aged women was hunched over a young victim with her back to the door in a straddle smother. Yena couldn't help but notice the heaving chest of the adolescent male. Though obviously desperate for air he lay still, accepting his fate. The women kept up a steady pumping hip grinding on him. One of the twins whispered to Yena that this constant pumping, besides feeling really good, would put the victim in a drowsy, dream like state and make the kill go that much easier. Suddenly the women tossed her head back and sighed deeply. Yena was experienced enough in the ways of the world to know what "that" was all about. The victim gave one short violent twitch then lay still. The women stayed on him for a minute or two longer then stood up. The twins then introduced Yena to their mother, Polymius. Yena immediately noticed the similarity to the twins. She was a very pleasant women and showed genuine pleasure to add a raven haired beauty such as Yena to the house. Pay would be quit generous and after a year the job included Atlantian citizenship. Yena was pleasantly surprised over that revelation. Atlantian citizenship was not easy to attain. The twins seemed anxious to get to work and showed Yena to their room. The room was well lit and offered a panoramic view of the city. It also offered an unobstructed view of The Old Man in all its terrifying glory. Yena couldn't put a finger on it but the sight of this huge old dormant volcano frightened her. The room contained several large colorful pillows and a mysterious glowing bulb. It put off yellow/white radiance but didn't have anything attached to it. Yena noticed a glowing crystal of some sort inside. Everyone knew that Atlantian science and engineering was well beyond anything in the known world but to see such secrets close up was awe inspiring. A timid and overworked young girl led three young males into the room. The victims were frightened but otherwise seemed pleased when they looked over Yena and the twins. One handsome brown haired lad lay down almost at Yena's feet. The two other captives quickly did the same and lay at the feet of the twins. Xanthippe turned to Yena and stated simply "enjoy". Yena carefully removed her new skirt then sat high on her victims shoulders with his handsome face framed between her perfectly formed thighs. She spread her legs wide, put a hand atop his head then slid over him pressing his nose deep inside her. Slowly she began pumping down hard on him, working his nose around inside her. It all felt so delicious, the bonding of their two bodies as one. It was like a warm sensual bath. Then she felt the rising tide of an orgasm swelling up in her. Like a huge wave in a violent storm it shook them both. For a second, just a second, she felt his soul and hers united. It was a majestic and emotional bonding, two souls entwined as one, locked tightly together. Yena savored the moment for as long as she could then it passed and she felt her young captive go limp. The kill had taken twenty minutes but it seemed like only a few minutes had transpired. Both twins were pleased with Yena's smothering abilities and no doubt were going to pass it along to her mother. Victim after victim, in quick succession, succumb to her awesome hip actions. Something primitive and sensual had now been awaken in Yena. This deeply repressed female smothering had at last matured. Yena knew that no matter where life took her with it's various twists and turns, she would always be dedicated to smothering. Perhaps it was an addiction, who knows, all Yena now cared about was keeping a victims nose pressed deep into her body. The twins knew for they, as with the other women and girls of the house, were also addicted to this most intimate and pleasing profession. During her first day "on the job" so to speak, she had smothered 25 victims. After dinner Yena excused herself and wondered the beautiful streets of the city. It was well lit, no litter and very little crime. The tremendous and magic like advances in technology were evidenced everywhere from streetlights to strange circular flying ships. Yena had felt she had now discovered paradise. She returned from her walk to find the twins stretched out atop victims in a "69" smothering position. They explained it was customary to select a victim to sleep on and smother during the night. Seldom would they survive to see the dawn. Yena noticed that one of the twins was atop a girl. Yena hadn't seen many females among the victims. For one they don't last long in the mines and another they are usually reserved for the sexual pleasure of the ruling class. Yena called to a sleepy-eyed attendant that she needed a fresh victim. She quickly returned with a cute male. He made an audible gasp when he looked on the sensually curved body of Yena bathed in the bright Mediterranean moonlight. Without saying a word he lay down at her feet. Yena then lay down on his face, carefully inserting his nose deep inside her. The feeling was so overwhelming delicious to have a victims nose pressed deep into her and his heaving chest pressed tight to her body. She then began a slow deep grinding circular pumping on the male. After her first month of work Yena had accumulated a large number of kills. She would still have a long way to go to even get near the 35,000 or more that the twins had each accumulated or the 120,000 that there mother had accounted for. Even some of the youngest Goltars had accounted for several thousand victims. The twins recounted that they had made their first kills as very young girls and that the victims had been full grown men. Hard to believe but Yena had seen some of these young Goltars in action. One mere wisp of a girl, Magnera, was incredibly aggressive and would take on any male. Some of them would even go so far as to laugh but within half an hour an attendant would be seen dragging his inert body away. Though the smothering was habit forming it did stop during a women's period. Yena found she now had about a week off. She used this time to write to old friends and explore the wonders of Atlantis. Yena was amazed at the huge hanging gardens, the rich lush green rolling farmland of the interior and the mysterious flying discs. One day she wondered over to a field where several of these discs were parked. The captains of these ships were all gathered about talking. About half of them were women. They all eyed Yena suspiciously - an outsider. Yena introduced herself then told them she was a Goltar. This broke the ice. They, as with most of the ancient world, held the Goltars in deep respect. One of the aircraft's pilots seemed to take a special interest in Yena. His name was Demetri, handsome, polite and even a bit shy. Somehow he gathered up courage and offered Yena a brief ride over Atlantis. The words were hardly out of his mouth when Yena raced up the ramp and onto his ship. He briefly tried to explain how the craft worked. With a slow patient voice he began to explain. Yena was thinking "he would make such a nice father, slow and patient with the children - ah but in bed she wanted wild uncontrolled passion. Would he be up to it?" Yena forced herself to listen to his words but she kept looking into his soft blue eyes. Basically what he told Yena was that the earth is surrounded by a huge unseen force, the same force that surrounds a natural magnet. Yena, as with most of the ancient world, knew about naturally occurring magnets. Atlantian scientists had developed a simple way to enhance the earth's force field in one small tiny spot. This spot, directly below the craft, could then be repelled by even a natural magnet. This contact between the craft and unseen force caused the craft to spin. Through various means the inside, however, was kept calm and flat no matter what the speed. Yena listened patiently then it hit her, "the earth is round!" "Yes" the handsome Demetri replied and produced intricate maps to prove it. These maps showed huge unknown lands far off across vast expanses of water. Yena noticed one area far out to sea. It had a red triangle drawn around it. "What's this?" she inquired. "The link" he stated, "it's like a door and a way for us to travel to far off places not even charted by us - the stars" Yena gasped "the stars. You mean you can travel up into the heavens." The pilot nodded. Perhaps he felt he was telling her too much or, not really knowing the details himself, he put the maps away and started the ship. It made a deep hum just like the sea going ships. A large crystal located in a glass jar centered in the middle of the craft now began to glow. Manipulating two long metal rods the craft began to rise. Yena took a seat near a window to look out onto the moving countryside. It was so beautiful to glide effortlessly and silently between huge soft white columns of clouds. Perhaps it was all a dream. She couldn't control herself any longer and went over and passionately kissed her handsome pilot. He was pleasantly surprised by this sudden and unexpected kiss from a magnificently beautiful Goltar. Yena, not wanting to overplay her hand returned to the flight. "Where are we going now?" "To fly over the peak of the Old Man," Demetri replied with a smile. "No, anyplace but there." she heard herself say almost instinctively. Demetri then maneuvered the craft to fly low along great expanses of beach. Yena saw many young lovers lying on beautiful white beaches. Some were making love, others just content in each others arms. "Uh Yena, maybe when you have some time off.maybe you'd like to go for a walk along the beach?" he asked. Yena, now playing coy replied "maybe." Soon her thrilling flight ended and she walked away from the craft on wobbly legs, like she'd been at sea for a week. At the edge of the field she turned and waived as the bright silver craft rose and sped away into the distance. Her heart virtually leaping with joy and she skipped along like some starry eyed school girl. Two days later her period ended and she returned to the delicious task at hand. One day she was about to mount a young victim in a squat smother when he cried out "Yena". "Yena, do you remember me Celon, from your village." Yena thought for a second and remembered a small obnoxious boy that used to throw stones. "Well you've grown up," she said kneeling next to his head. They talked briefly, even laughed over the ridiculous pompous mayor, the antics of the village drunk and other amusing things of their past. Though she knew the young male laying at her feet she also knew she had to smother him. Xanthippe was nearby, astride a victim and asked if Yena wanted to switch with her so Yena wouldn't have to smother Celon. "No please, Yena you do it. I couldn't think a more beautiful death than to be smothered by you." Young Celon stated looking up at her. "All right Celon, but I'm going to work on you for a long time. You'll be my long term victim." Long-term victims were just that. Sometimes a Goltar would come across a particularly handsome victim and they would smother them when not otherwise on another victim. Long-term victims could last for months. Celon's handsome brown eyes came alive with excitement at the prospect of having Yena's beautiful body continuously astride him. One hard and fast rule of the Goltars was No Sex With Victims! Yena firmly stated this to Celon right away so he would know right where they stood. She also casually informed him that she would smother him to death whenever she felt like it. It could be tomorrow, next week or two months from now. Celon seemed content with the rules. He was assigned to help out the attendants when not otherwise under Yena. Looking over one of the cute attendants Celon whispered to Yena. "Does that no sex rule apply to the attendants?" Yena smiled and whispered "No" to the mischievous Celon. Later that night Yena had to go looking for Celon. She found him in the garden making out with one of the attendants. Yena grabbed him by the ears and led him away. But first she apologized to the bewildered young girl for interrupting such an intimate moment. Once she had him positioned under her she settled on his face in a squat smother. His nose fit perfectly in place. Yena had to remind herself not to get too carried away with her passions and restrain from smothering him at the height of an orgasm. Yena had been on him for over an hour, using a number of positions when a worried young attendant came in. She was the same young girl Celon had been with in the garden. "Oil?" the young attendant asked. Various lubricating oils were available to the women to help speed along and make the smothering more enjoyable. "Sure" Yena replied and climbed off young Celon. At that particular moment she was laying on him in the traditional 69 position. He looked around and blinked while gasping for breath. "You apply it to him" Yena stated to the attendant. She was cute with long brown hair and a nice body. Yena could see why Celon chose her for his affections. It was a sad doomed love affair for Celon, as well as, the girl as they would eventually both be smothered to death. Slowly and carefully she applied a thin layer of oil to his nose. With her task completed Yena remounted him. Now well lubricated Yena really went to work on her handsome victim. Yena noticed the young girl looking on with a pained concerned look. "Don't worry" Yena said, "I'm not going to kill him just yet." Two days later the house learned that a huge supply of victims was just unloading at the docks. Everything was thrown into turmoil. All attendants and long-term victims were to be smothered immediately to make room for the next consignment. Poor Celon and his girlfriend were to die. Yena directed Celon to her bed. Before she smothered him she decided to try one last appeal directly to Polymius. Much to Yena's surprise she found her mounted atop Celon's brown haired beauty. This would make her plea for their lives even that much more difficult. Polymius had the girl down in a reverse straddle smother, tracking her nose deep up her butt. Yena briefly explained the circumstances. None of the Goltars were deliberately cruel or cold blooded but they did have a duty to perform. Polymius stopped her pumping then climbed off the girl. "Do you love this Celon boy?" she asked. The girl, though being furiously worked, managed to gasp "yes". "Then by the holy powers of the Order of Goltar I hereby excuse you and Celon from the smother. However, I train a number of young girls as Goltars. You two will be practice victims for these young girls. They are told not to kill but practice only. Sometimes things get out of hand though. We've lost a number of victims in that manner. Tomorrow you will report to the Novice Master." Polymius stated. She went on to explain that, though still slaves, they would be granted some freedoms. Also, they were to help the new Goltars by offering suggestions on better smothering techniques from a victims perspective. Celon was quite excited about the surprising outcome and hugged Yena. Yena felt good, she had united two young lovers. Probably they would both eventually be killed during a practice session or perhaps not. Anyway she did all she could, the rest was up to fate. With the arrival of the new victims the smothering accelerated at a tremendous pace. Yena and the rest of the Goltars were furiously working victim. She must have smothered 50 victims in one day. Several times her handsome Demetri came calling but Yena had to turn him away. Yena got so disoriented that she almost climbed back onto a victim she just killed. "This has got to slow down," Yena said climbing atop a fresh victim. Hipparete, thoroughly exhausted, turned nodded in agreement. Because of the massive influx of victims Polymius had to take on several more women and girls to help ease the crush. Unfortunately Yena and the twins had to take in a mother-daughter team of Goltars. The mother, Effenie, was in her mid to late 30's. She was pleasant and about 4 months pregnant. Smothering was not new to her as she had accumulated 45,000 or more victims. Her daughter, Indetrus, was a pert young thing and quite eager to start her new career. Yena watched while the mother carefully instructed her daughter on smothering techniques. As with most girls her age she wanted to take on older victims - to demonstrate her women-hood. Finally the mother relented and a handsome tall male victim was led in. He humored Indetrus, though you could tell he was very skeptical as to her supposedly deadly smothering abilities. Indetrus looked him over like someone looking over a fine meal. Technically that was true. Since the Goltars were hopelessly addicted to smothering then victims were really "food" for a Goltars body. Indetrus immediately climbed atop him in a squat smother. Seconds later she was furiously pumping away on him. She was working him so hard that she almost fell off a few times. Her furious pumping had been going on for some time when Xanthippe said softly "look, his chest." Yena then observed the uneven rise and fall of his chest as he tried to take in air. Soon his body was twitching. Vainly he tried to pry her off but by now was too weak from the incessant pumping. Desperate for air he tried one last time but to no avail. Indetrus's continuous pumping was quickly putting her victim into a state of atrophy. He arched his back, gave one last twitch, and died. Indetrus stayed on him a little longer to make sure he was dead then she climbed off. Everyone was so proud of her, especially her mother. Word of young Indetrus skills spread and she was quickly accepted into the fold. The tightly packed room soon became a deadly smother chamber. It was like that throughout the whole Goltar house. According to Polymius this was the way things were going to be from now on. Athens had just defeated several archenemies and were now in custody of millions upon millions of slaves. Naturally a number of them would be too young or unfit for the mines so the Goltars would get them. Though all crammed in together they managed as best they could. On occasion one of the women would receive a kick from somebody's victim in his death throws. Eventually Yena got a day or two off and dated her handsome pilot. They made passionate love on lonely stretches of beach. Other times they would just walk along in silence sharing a burning passion for each other. Demetri proved to be everything Yena had dreamed of in a man. He then told Yena he'd gotten over his apprehension of Yena being a Goltar. It seems that parents, in-order to curb unruly children, would threaten them by saying they would turn them over to the Goltars if they didn't behave. Yena laughed, she was now the "Boogie Man!" Yena, in the depths of love for Demetri, even went so far as to broach the subject of a married Goltar to Polymius. She had no problem with that, though it was well known that but a pilot was gone a lot and she'd have to get used to long periods of separation. She wished Yena luck in her quest to capture the handsome Demetri. Several months later Effenie had her baby, a handsome girl. She had maids take care of her during the day while Effenie continued at her smothering. It wasn't an uncommon sight to see the new mother, astride a victim, while she breastfed her newborn. Giving life and taking life, all within the same cycle. Everything had gone along so wonderfully, the women had even adjusted to the frantic pace of smothering now demanded of them. Yena found she could easily put away 50 to 60 a day without feeling exhausted. Due to this constant smothering Yena and the other Goltars were now in an almost continuous state or orgasm and they loved it. Life was now so beautiful to Yena. She didn't feel the least bit remorseful smothering so many victims. She, and the rest of the Goltars, were sparing them a slow horrible death in the mines. Yena couldn't smother any victims at all if they cried and begged for mercy. Each victim, without exception, gladly submitted to the gentle, sexual death the Goltars offered. The IT happened. 1 2 Chapter II It was a typical morning like many others. The sun was streaming in. Yena was laying on the face of a cute victim in her favorite position the "69" when a sharp jolt shook the earth - earthquake! The people of the Mediterranean area were well familiar with earthquakes and instinctively knew they had to leave the building immediately. Yena raised up off the lad and looked down into his blinking eyes. "You ok?" He gasped for breath and replied "yeah, what's happening?" He even seemed a bit perturbed at his delicious smother being so rudely interrupted. "Earthquake, let's get the hell out'a here." All of the other women were quickly climbing off their dazed victims. Effenie's and Hipparete's victims didn't stir as they were near death. "Everyone out" Yena shouted. They then all managed to climb out one of the large open windows. Since the Goltar House was at ground level and sturdily built they had no fear of it collapsing on them. They were all out in the street standing away from the building when another more violent jolt shook them so hard they all fell down into a heap. Yena was untangling herself from the arms and legs of Goltars and victims when she saw a large two- story building slowly collapse. Standing in the street below were perhaps 30 or 40 people. They didn't have a chance as a deadly rain of brick and mortar buried them. "Quick" Yena shouted and directed her companions to the rescue. Working furiously they dug into the pile. Some citizens were horribly crushed while others showed signs of life. A mother and her baby were pulled from the wreckage dazed but otherwise unhurt. Effenie, seeing the small infant safely in her mothers arms, began to cry. The rescue went on for hours. Soon the Goltar House emptied of victims and Goltars, as they all contributed to the rescue effort. Yena couldn't help but notice that each victim stuck close to and worked with the particular Goltar that had been smothering them. Right at Yena's side through the whole rescue effort was the youth that she had previously been smothering. His young nose still glistening from the lubricating oil she had generously applied to him. Just minutes ago she had his nose pressed deep into the depths of her body killing him. Now they were working side by side in a valiant effort to save lives. Yena, having the untapped qualities of a leader, stood out as the most valiant worker. With her young victim as a faithful assistant they rescued countless people. An official finally ordered her and her victim to take a rest. Naked, sweaty and covered in white dust she sat down next to her youthful helper. They drank some water then returned to the rescue. Hours later the rescue concluded and Yena, as well as, the remainder of the women and their victims returned to the Goltar house. During the rescue the attendants had been busy clearing away debris. Everyone had a quick bath and something to eat before the women resumed where they had left off. After applying a fresh coating of oil Yena quickly laid back down on the face of her victim and reinserted his nose back into place. He had shown such bravery during the rescue that she decided to give him the full smothering treatment and worked him in every position imaginable. The youth loved it and cooperated as best he could while she furiously worked him. Her young victim couldn't hold out much longer. Yena was preparing to go for the kill when an emissary from the queen arrived. "The queen" thought Yena with shock. The ruling royalty of Atlantis generally kept to themselves in a massive and ornate castle high on a hill. The beautiful yet aloof Queen Antara was well loved by her people. Yena was deeply engrossed in the process of killing her victim when she had to suddenly stop. Her young male, lay still for several minutes while he caught his breath. He sat up and looked around curiously. Once again a most delicious smother had been interrupted and he wasn't happy. Neither was Yena for being deprived of a kill. But, orders from the Queen had to be obeyed without question. Yena thought of the queen. She had a reputation for smothering tens of thousands of victims. Thought not officially a Goltar she, as with most women, loved nothing more than a good long relaxing smother. Many women, be they Goltars, Greeks, Atlantians or barbarians, often enjoyed a good smother. Yena remembered one of her young friends while growing up back in her village, a cute lad, being led away to be smothered. It was just an accepted way of life, one of those hazards a young lad has to get through. Though the women leading him away was Yena's own mother. Yena recalled the constant creaking the floorboards made as she worked him. Sometimes Yena would hear a long gasp or moaning then silence, seconds later the constant squeaking would resume. Not having the luxury of a bedroom all of the smothering was done on the cottage floor, usually in front of the fireplace. It did bother Yena a bit to watch as her mother slowly smothered her friend. Yena would miss him but then again this was a normal everyday hazard of any young male. One day the victim's mother came calling. She was a pleasant lady that didn't seem the slightest bit disturbed that Yena's mother was working her son. Yena's mother directed Yena to mount him while they visited. Though the lad had been her friend the thought of mounting her first victim was exciting. Yena pumped hard and fast on him while the women visited and reluctantly turned him back over to her mother when the guest left. Eventually Yena's mother made her kill and days later selected a young lad from a large destitute family that was traveling through. The family was glad to get rid of him, one less mouth to feed. It seemed that whenever a large family or even stray street urchins wondered into town the women of the village would be out looking them over deciding which one would make a good smother. Yena's neighbor, Tamera, had an insatiable appetite for victims. She was always hard at work pumping away on a young male. Yena liked her and would often visit while she furiously worked a chosen young lad. The lady was tall and rather thin with a lot of nervous energy. She was in her mid 30's and had several rowdy children. Her husband had been killed in one of the innumerable wars that swept the land. For his services she received a widows pension. This pension allowed her to concentrate on her true passion - smothering! Her favorite position was the "69" which was, while Yena thought about it, now her favorite. Several incidents occurred that stuck in Yena's memory. Once while Yena and Tamera were talking they heard the voice of a local women calling for her son. Her son, at that particular moment, had his nose pressed deep into Tamera's body. The lad, upon hearing his name, put his hands on the women's hips. Tamera ignored him and continued her pumping. She then called to the women and informed her she was smothering her son. The women didn't act upset about it and replied in a joking light hearted manner, "That's two of my sons you've smothered so far. You've exceeded your limit!" She then added "when are you going to kill him so I can plan for his funeral?" Tamera momentarily stopped her pumping and thought for a moment. "Not anytime soon, I'd like to work him for at least a month but I don't think he's going to hold out that long." No doubt the poor victim was quite upset to hear of his death to be so casually discussed. Yena remembered how brave her mother had been. One day some rich high official was traveling through and stopped in their small village to water his horses. There the family sat it all their finery and gold surrounded by a cordon of soldiers. Then Yena's mothers eyes lit up - a victim. He was a cute young lad sitting high in the coach. Yena tried to talk her mother out of it but to no avail. Somehow she made it through the cordon of soldiers and boldly told the lad's mother she wanted her son for a smother. The women looked down at her in disbelief "The smother.my son."she thought for a moment. It was universally accepted that any young lad was "up for grabs" so to speak - even a high officials son. Besides this women had probably smothered countless young victims herself. She immediately informed her husband. He seemed shaken by the whole matter but was well aware of a women's right to select a young male as her victim, no matter how rich or powerful. To go against such a basic right might even cause rebellion and much more dire consequences greater than loosing a son. The lad was shocked when his mother ordered him out of the cart. He was even amazed more when he was led away. The village women cheered and congratulated Yena's mother for her determination and bravery. Once back at the cottage Yena's mother directed the lad to remove his shirt and lay flat on the floor. She then slipped out of her cloths and put on a loose fitting robe. The lad was completely terrified as she slowly squatted down onto his face in a reverse squat smother tracking his nose deep up her posterior. She'd hardly started on him when the village women came in, one by one, or in small groups, to visit and complement her on such a fine catch. A number of women marveled at his fine cloths still others looked at his trembling callous free hands. They had never seen such a finely dressed or delicious victim. Eventually the parade of well wishers trickled off and Yena's mother could concentrate on her handsome captive. He proved to be a rather nice adolescent male and tried to cooperate in any way possible. A bonding began to grow between Yena's mother and the victim. They would sometimes play little jokes on each other. He knew she was going to eventually kill him and she knew she would kill him - this was a given fact. But, none-the-less, a close friendship did flourish. She was continuously sitting on him in one position or another working his nose around inside her. He would tap her on the side of the leg in some little secret code known only to them. While squat smothering him she would look down into his bright blue eyes. Though being furiously smothered and his view obscured by a thick mat of pubic hair, he would somehow manage to wink up at her. He proved to be a rather sturdy lad and lasted much longer than most of her victims. They all got along well together and Yena remembers relaxing evenings during the winter with a howling storm outside. Yena's mother would be totally nude straddle smothering him in front of a roaring fire. Sometimes she would stop and ask if he wanted anything or her to change to a different position. He was always polite and asked for no special favors. One of those relaxing evenings she smothered him at the height of a massive orgasm. Both Yena and her mother cried as they drug his body out into the cold dark night. A grave had been prepared for him and they solemnly lowered his still form into the ground. Yena's village was no different from hundreds or thousands of others throughout the ancient world. Young victims were constantly being smothered day and night by the rich and poor. Even the Atlantian queen herself had an unsatisfied hunger for victims. Yena looked outside and say a much smaller version of the craft her handsome Demetri piloted. It sat motionless several feet above the ground. The craft was flat with a railing to hang onto while airborne. The pilot was impatient, obviously when you're summoned by the queen you waste no time about it. The quick flight to the castle was thrilling. They zoomed silently above housetop and trees. Being out in the open with the wind in your face gave a sensation of tremendous speed. The castle was a massive marble structure adorned with exquisitely crafted statues. Gold virtually dripped from every possible location. Few people were about and most of them were either nude or wearing only a purple sash to denote royalty. Without much fanfare Yena was led into the royal court. Yena was nude and, for the first time in months, felt like she probably should have put on some cloths. Slowly she walked toward the throne. A lone figure sat in regal splendor surrounded by richly adorned guards and royalty. Queen Antara was a tall stately women, even an inch or two above Yena's height. Yena was relieved to see she was nude except for a bright purple sash she wore in her beautiful golden hair. Though in her late 50's her body was magnificent. "A swimmer" Yena surmised noticing her well developed shoulders and powerful legs. The queen went right to the heart of the matter. Yena, for her bravery and leadership, was to be granted Atlantian citizenship. A man then stepped forward with what looked to be a branding device and permanently branded Yena on the right shoulder with the symbol of Atlantis. Yena also received another smaller brand, the symbol of a Goltar Master. She was now an Atlantian, one of the highest honors in the ancient world. And, a Goltar Master, another high honor. Both positions at the same time; it was so overwhelming. As a Goltar Master she could start her own House, though she had no intentions of doing so. Now, as an Atlantian, she would be more accepted. No more whispers behind her back or stares and the hushed - "outsider!" Polymius organized a large party to celebrate. Demetri attended and was virtually bursting with pride over Yena's high honors. The party did have a cloud hanging over it. Demetri seemed troubled by something, it was as if he knew some terrible secret but couldn't share it. His love for Yena was very intense and hadn't wavered. This secret, as best Yena could guess, involved his position as a pilot or perhaps involved Atlantis it's self. The next day the new citizen of Atlantis and newly appointed Goltar Master resumed her smothering. While atop a squirming adolescent male Yena wondered what it must be like for the victim. True, her constant and sometimes violent pumping would put the victim into a dazed or even euphoric state, but she was afraid she might be hurting them. She could never smother any victim if she knew that he was suffering. Young Talmarus waited patiently for him to be led in by one of the cute attendants. It had been a long and difficult journey for the youth. He was a Helot, born and raised by an indifferent peasant family along the Greek coast. His father was a brute that drank up the families small income. His mother took to drink herself and left he and his 11 brothers and sisters to fend for themselves. Her only diversion from drinking was smothering. In one of her rages she smothered one of his younger brothers. It didn't seem to bother her in the slightest that she was smothering one of her own children. One day a slaver came to town and young Talmarus, along with two other brothers, was sold for a few loaves of bread. He remembers how happy and gleeful his mother was as she tucked the loaves under her arm and ran back to her dilapidated cottage. She was accompanied by a swarm of begging street urchins. Just as she entered the cottage she grabbed one of the boys and pulled him inside. So far nothing of young Talmarus's life had been fun. His only joy was to look out onto the vast expanse of the blue ocean and imagine himself as a brave sea captain rescuing beautiful women from evil pirates. Now he faced a slow, painful death in the mines of North Africa or the oar pits of Laurium. All of the slaves were sullen and resigned to their fate. It was as if they were already dead and just their body hadn't gotten the message yet. After being feed a horrible tasting gruel they were loaded on a large cargo ship. Being slaves they were stuffed into the black cramped depths of stinking cargo holds. Rats abounded and several slaves died, suffocating on the stench. At least the gently rocking had a soothing effect on him for he, as with most of the slaves, and they soon went to sleep. Talmarus's mind went blank. When put in a position such as this, beaten down, unloved and forgotten by the world you turn inward. His young mind was virtually blank. All thoughts of escape were laughable. The slaves were barely alive and defenseless. How could they overcome well armed and perfectly healthy guards. He was jarred awake when the slavers opened the hatches. Bright sunlight, like a searing intense beam, penetrated into their stinking lair. All chained together at the ankle they slowly filled onto the ships deck. A big fat greasy brute of a slaver looked them over one at a time. Every so often he would select a slaves and one of his assistants would unchain the slave and make him stand in a separate group. Finally it came Talmarus's turn. All he said was "This one" to his assistant and moved down the line. Talmarus found himself separated from the main body of slaves. He heard a whispered "Talmarus it's me Markus". Talmarus didn't want to take a chance and turn and look but it was a younger brother of his. There were perhaps 50 of them chained together separate from the rest. All of them were quite young and many of them small boys, obviously unfit for the mines. Talmarus didn't get his hopes up for the lot of slaves was a very cruel one and any unspeakable fate could await. Much to his surprise they were loaded onboard a sleek golden encrusted ship. As with the slave ship they were led into the ships hold. Much to Talmarus's surprise it was clean. They were even fed a decent meal. Hundreds of other young slaves were already in the hold. The ship seemed to glide through the waves and emit a low soft humming noise. For the first time in his life he felt a spark of enthusiasm. Then he heard the word "Goltar" whispered from slave to slave. "Goltar" - he was to be smothered. His spirits soared. No slow death in the mines or a dog like existence in some dirty hot dry North African slave pen. The slaves began to talk amongst themselves. They were all excited, elated in fact. True they would die, ah. but such a death for a young male. A slow sensual smother by a beautiful women was not such an awful fate. They all were happily looking forward to it even more so since it would be performed by some golden haired Atlantian beauty. After docking they were unchained and led in large groups to a bath. This was the first time young Talmarus could ever remember such a warm relaxing bath. A stern matronly like women checked each boy to see if he was clean enough and many were sent back. After the bath attendants handed out new cloths. It was nothing more than a white cloth that went around their waist. Then they were fed and what a feast. Talmarus had never seen such a display of food. A long table covered with the most delicious food his mind could ever imagine stretched out before him. The young lads ate like wild animals and Talmarus was no exception. They all knew this food and decent treatment would end in their smother but they welcomed it. It would be the crowning moment of a fantastic dream. A majestic smother would tie it all together into one beautiful package. Talmarus and several hundred companions were led through the clean and neat streets of Atlantis. Slaves being led to a Goltar House was a normal everyday sight and the Atlantian citizens showed no interest in them at all. None of the lads were chained and there were occasions when a slave could have made a break for it. This was the furthest from their thoughts. They welcomed the sensual deadly embrace of the Goltar. Each of the youths tried to take it all in, to look with wonder on all of the Atlantian technology with awe. A hush came over them when a bright metal flying ship glided silently overhead. The column stopped momentarily when an Atlantian housewife indicated to the guards she and her two teenage daughters wanted to look over the lads and select victims. The women, though in her early 40's, was very beautiful. Her beauty was also enhances by the fact she was totally nude. Both her daughters, also nude, had immaculate bodies any lad would gladly go under. She and her daughters briefly looked over the slaves and made their selections. Talmarus passed the door of the women's home when one of the boys, the women's captive, turned and smiled. He was obviously pleased to have been selected and was evidently looking forward to the smother. The large group of slaves was further broken down into groups of two to three hundred and led off to the various Goltar Houses throughout the city. Now and then the column would be halted by an Atlantian housewife or young maiden so she could select a victim for her smother. In most instance the selected youth would turn and smile or waive to his companions. Talmarus, through all the confusion, had lost sight of his brother. He had hopped to perhaps catch sight of him before the smother. Once again the column shuffled to a halt as two young women looked over the victims. A tall sexy blonde pulled his brother Markus from the line. His young face was radiant. Talmarus felt a strong tinge of jealousy especially when she and her companion turned to lead the youths away. Both young women had the most magnificent and perfectly formed posteriors you could imagine. As Talmarus passed he called to his brother. Markus turned and smiled. The women seemed nice and patted Markus affectionately on the head. Markus waived and shouted "good luck!" The column moved on and soon the young women and their victims passed from sight. At last they arrived at their destination. Talmarus didn't get to see much of the building. An attendant came around and offered them water or fresh fruit. Young Talmarus had never at any point in his brief life known such kindness. He knew that he would pay for this with his life but that was of no consequence. He thought it was much better to be smothered by some majestic beauty than to suffer for years as a nameless slave. One attendant, a young girl, was making her way amongst the slaves, putting a light coat of oil on their noses. Over the next few hours an older women or young attendant would come in and select a few victims to be distributed to the Goltars. At last it was Talmaruss turn. His short journey through life would come to an end. He was led down a long hallway. Along the hall were a number of rooms, or rather more like open stalls. He looked inside and saw some intense smothering going on. Many of the women were being quit loud about it and moaning in pleasure as orgasm after orgasm swept over their bodies. Attendants were frantically dragging body after body away. "Here" the women said pointing to a stall. Talmarus's breath was taken away when he saw her. She was a tall beauty with long black hair. Muscular yet retaining all of her feminine charms. "Over here, lay down here" she said impatiently. The youth regained his senses and obediently lay where indicated. He placed is head on a large soft purple pillow. She then lowered herself down over his face for a "69" position. This raven haired goddess had a glistening thick mat of jet black pubic hair. She was well lubricated probably from all of the kills she'd performed so far that day. He had watched in almost slow motion as she lowered herself onto him. He felt her gently wiggle her hips, working his nose deep inside her. Next she spread her legs wide and began a slow circular hip grinding. He could see out from under her just a tiny bit. Talmarus wanted to giggle for her soft pubic hair was rubbing against his face tickling him. Gradually her pumping and grinding was making him dizzy even though he was desperately trying to remain conscious. With a precision of a Goltar Master she worked his nose around inside her. Then he could feel it, the often talked about ethereal bonding between a women and her victim. It was beautiful - they were uniting as one. It was like some warm hot erotic sensual bath. He couldn't believe it. Young Talmarus had never experienced such beauty in his life. Wave after wave of savage passion swept over both of them. With each wave they rose to a new level. Then, at the height of the most intense emotional experience of his young life young Talmarus died. He surrendered willingly. Yena, well satisfied, climbed off his inert body. A young attendant quickly drug his body away. When dragging away Talmarus's body she had noticed a slight smile on his face. She had seen the same smile on many such victims. CHAPTER III The smothering had gone on very intensely for several months when Hipparete casually mentioned the Goltar Olympics. Yena had heard of them but never dwelled on the subject much. The interesting point was they would be held in Atlantis. Polymius was going around trying to get all of her women and girls to participate. Effenie, her daughter, as well as, the twins Hipparete and Xanthippe virtually begged Yena to participate. They praised her "69" as the best performed on any victim. Yena finally agreed and decided to participate in the Straddle Smother, "69" and Artistic Smother events. Everything was thrown into turmoil. Victims were now being smothered "artistically". A victims nose that casually might slip out of a women's body was now a major mistake. Effenie was very upset when this happened to two of her victims. The judging was very specific, a simple everyday occurrence like that might cost them valuable points. Yena, while pumping away on a young lad, also felt his nose slip out of place. Quickly she reacted to correct the error. She had always felt pride in her smothering techniques and now some twerp of a judge was to watch closely for flaws. At last the great day arrived. Atlantis had seven Goltar Houses and all of them would be represented. As with custom the host nation sat in the arena stands while the visitors paraded in. The stadium was huge and adorned with flags and colorful banners of all types. Each Goltar House had there own symbol and banner. It was an exciting and colorful affair. The arena, unlike the Athenian ones, had a grassy floor, not sand. Not many men were in the stands. They were free to watch but smothering was looked upon as one of those mysterious "female" pastimes. The Greek Goltar Houses from Athens, last year's winners, paraded in, all fourteen of them. One House, was particularly prominent, holding a golden standard. They had over 60 women, and everyone of them a stunning beauty. Next Goltar Houses from Sparta, the fledgling village of Rome, as well as, Goltar's from Britannia marched proudly under streaming banners. Next came wild looking barbarian women from Germania and Gaul. Tall feather bedecked Nubians now entered. They strode in; tall and stately. "Watch out for them" someone whispered. It was an impressive display of beauty and deadly smothering. The final, and largest contingent now paraded through the arena - the Amazons. They had a furious and well known appetite for victims. Yena was feeling apprehensive about entering such a difficult event. The city slave pens were virtually bursting with delicious victims of all smotherable ages. Everything was now it place when Queen Antera, the officiating hostess stepped forward. With a loud powerful voice that all could hear she shouted "Let the smothering begin!" Such a huge cry rang out that probably everyone in Atlantis could hear it. Yena's heart jumped when someone pointed out her handsome Demetri sitting not far away. Now she HAD to succeed. Her handsome lover would be watching. At last individual events were beginning to take place. The first was a run. Young victims were turned loose in the open area and run from the predatory Goltar's. One by one they were caught and smothered. After the smothered the women had to drag the body to a collection point. The women with the most kills won. The Nubians seemed to excel in this as their long legs gave them an advantage in running. Laughter erupted in the stands when one small lad managed to outwit his purser, a tall and powerfully build Gaul. She had a lot of muscle power and could have crushed her victims skull between her thighs - if she could catch him. She was angrier and angrier by the minute and even stopped long enough to shake a fist at the laughing onlookers. At last she caught him and pulled the lad down for a breast smother. Finally the body was the last victim was drug out. As expected the Nubians won without question. Yena was anxious for action and it finally came. Now it would be Goltar House against Goltar House in the run. At last they were all lined up. Over three hundred Goltar's wearing only an identifying scarf representing their particular House. Yena looked up into the stands and could barely make out her handsome Demetri. With a loud shout the victims were released. The adolescent males ran in all directions like small fish scattering from a predator. Seconds later the women were set loose. It was a thrilling and exciting moment as the women whooped and yelled in all languages. Victim after victim was being brought down all around her. Yena concentrated on one particular youth. Finally she caught him and was about to pull him down when a young teenage girl, an Amazon, pulled him down. She quickly tucked him under her in a squat smother. Just at that second a young lad, fleeing a pursuer, ran headlong into Yena. She then brought him down to the grass in a reverse squat smother. The young Amazon shrugged her shoulders about grabbing Yena's victim. "Don't worry Yena said" its such a mess out here it was bound to happen." Yena said while keeping up a steady stoking on her victim. It was too early in the smothering for a kill to have taken place so the women could relax a bit while they smothered. Many of them spent their time visiting and talking to whomever was near them. "What's your name?" the young Amazon asked. "Yena, what's yours?" she replied. "Gabrielle." It was a nice pleasant name. Somehow the pretty Amazon looked familiar, it was as it they had known or would know each other. She was a nice pleasant girl with an expert and well developed squat smother technique. "Kill many victims?" Yena asked. "Tens of thousands, that's all we do between raids." Then the girl then made a curious statement. "Do I know you? Somehow I think I know you. It's weird." Yena was surprised by this question especially when she was about to ask the same thing. Their pleasant visit came to a conclusion when the girl's young male expired. Yena hurried to complete her kill as well. Frantically she half drug and carried the body of her victim to the collection point. Young males were swarming all around when Yena reached for one. She caught him by the hair and spun him to the ground. He landed with a thud, the wind knocked out of him. Just then a tall blonde barbarian laid down on his face in a "69" working his nose up tight into her. She looked up at Yena and laughed. Yena was furious at this blonde giant, she was contemplating knocking her for a good one but this was the Goltar Olympics and she had to maintain her composure. There was no time to stand around and argue so she made a dive for another small youth. She caught him by the wrist and pulled him down. She then mounted him in a "69". She was behind the blonde barbarian and got a close up view as the women furiously pumped hard on her captive. She was a big powerful women with a strong grinding hip motion. Very little was visible of her victim's head. She had all but consumed his small head up into her body. Just then Yena heard a familiar voice, the young Amazon Gabrielle, she had a victim and was preparing to mount him in a straddle smother. "She's the reigning "69" champion." Indicating to the giant blonde barbarian. "I'm scheduled for that event," Yena said. "Well good luck, you'll need it, she's a terror. Champion 3 times in a row. Not even any of my sister Amazons are as good." The young girl replied while she worked her victims nose deep inside her. Yena asked the girl what events she was scheduled for and would make an effort to watch. Gabrielle was very proud of her squat and reverse squat smother and had entered those events. Their conversation was interrupted when the blonde giant completed her kill. She casually tucked the body of her victim under her arm and walked over to the collection point. She flung him on top of the pile like he was a rag doll. The smothering continued furiously for the next two hours. It was exhausting and everyone was relieved when a trumpet sounded to cease the event. When the final tally was made an Athenian Goltar House won the event. They were so tired they hardly had the energy to celebrate. Later that afternoon Yena participated in her first individual event, the straddle smother. Events such as this were not measured on how many victims could be smothered but on how expertly it was accomplished. She would get three victims and three victims only to demonstrate her skills. The first kill went off without a hitch and she received a high score. Next a pretty Athenian Goltar did a magnificent straddle smother on her victim. Many other fine Goltar's racked up impressive scores. Then came the second round. Yena was stroking hard on her prone victim with a judge watching intently then tragedy struck. Yena felt his nose slip out from inside her. The judged frowned and made a note. Yena was allowed to complete the kill but she knew she'd screwed up big time. "Disqualified" in big letters was posted next to her name on the Master Listing. Next came the Artistic Smother event. Contestants had to dance and sway to music while periodically smothering various victims. Though she tried her best Yena couldn't match some of the graceful moves of the competing Goltar's. An Atlantian from a rival Goltar House captured this event. As the day drew to a close Polymius was very disappointed with her girl's showing. Only young Magnera had won a gold medal for an event. Yena had time to watch the young Amazon Gabrielle perform in the Squat Smother event. She carefully squatted over the lad's head then pressed herself tight to his face. His well oiled nose vanished from view. She then pumped down on him to the cheers of her fellow Amazons. Various other Goltar's participated in this event, even Polymius and the twins. None came close to the expert move that the young Amazon demonstrated. Amid wild barbarian like yells she was declared champion. Yena didn't have a restful night. Tomorrow was the deciding event - the "69". The vision of the powerful blonde barbarian grinding down unmercifully on her victim was fresh in Yena's mind. Her Goltar House had not done very well and only Yena's "69" event could save them from disaster. The next day dawned bright and colorful. Yena didn't have time to watch her Amazon friend in the Reverse Squat Smother event as she had to prepare for her "69". Demetri had to work so she wouldn't see his handsome face in the stands. She was surprised to see Gabrielle watching from the sidelines. Many of her Amazon friends were with her as well. They say if you befriend an Amazon then all Amazons become your sister. Yena was surprised to find she had her own cheering section of fired up young Amazons. Yena looked over at Gabrielle and asked about her Reverse Squat Smother event. Gabrielle made a sour face and a thumbs down gesture. Goltar after Goltar now demonstrated to the judges their expertise in the "69". Some did very well but Yena knew she was the best. Finally it came down to Yena versus the blonde barbarian. Yena, gathering all her inner strength, won the coveted Gold Medal! The blonde giant gave Yena a hug and congratulated her. She didn't turn out to be such a brute after all. Hildara was her name and respected Yena as the best. Later that night, amid wild celebrating and drinking Yena felt truly at home. Her new friends the Amazons, Hildara and her barbarians, and the sophisticated women of Yena's Goltar House celebrated as one. Chants of "WOMEN POWER!" rang through the night. This was perhaps the high point of her life. To have so many warm and caring friends yet they were so different and diverse from each other. Tears streamed from her eyes as she stood on the podium and the gold medal was hung around her neck. The memory of that moment would be savored forever. She vowed to never, as long as she lived, forget the friends she'd made or the glory of the Olympics. At last Yena felt an inner peace, she could accomplish anything now. A young women had died at that moment and a valiant brave warrior was born. CHAPTER IV Though it was hard to come down from such a high the everyday task of smothering victims had to continue. Yena's love affair was turning to marriage. They even went and examined a small cottage. Yena wanted a bed large enough to accommodate victims. Demetri didn't mind her occupation but, when he was around, he indicated that he was to be the only male in her bed. One bright clear day the earth shook hard. It was a deep rumble, far in the interior. Yena, squat smothering a young male, heard people comment about the smoke. She looked outside and to her shock saw wispy clouds of black rising from one of the, until now, dormant, volcano's. The people were terrified, and should be. The volcano's were all monsters and dominated the whole Atlantian landscape. Finally one night while she and Demetri were walking along a romantic moonlit beach he told her everything. Yena was virtually cold with fear when she was told the complete story. Atlantian men of science had determined, almost to the second, when the giants were to explode. Atlantis didn't have much time left. Sacred and well kept secret after secret came pouring from his trembling lips. Atlantians were not of earth, they had originally come from the stars. He reminded Yena of the red triangle he'd shown her on the map. It was a portal for his people to return to their original home. Five huge air ships had secretly been built to carry the Atlantian's away before the cataclysm. Naturally he assumed his beloved Yena would be among them. So many things were going through her mind now. Her beautiful new home Atlantis was to be no more. The artwork, intricate gardens, beautiful homes, and sun lit bays would be forever destroyed. Soon everyone knew and began packing. Laborers were hard at work removing the most beautiful of statues. The usually calm streets were not crowded with people rushing about. Almost every citizen of Atlantis turned out to see the first airship depart. It was a massive silver disk with thousands of multicolored lights dancing around the edges. Slowly it rose in the midday sun then, with the blink of an eye, vanished from sight. The next ship was accepting borders when Effenie informed us she would be on it. Yena inquired about victims on the homeworld and Polymius informed her that there were as many victims as she could possibly imagine. Many tears were shed when Effenie, her daughter Indetrus, and a number of Goltar's from the House when they boarded the huge silver disk. Three more craft were left. Yena was besides herself as to what to do. These were all her dear friends. She was now an Atlantia. She had her handsome Demetri to consider. So much more waited for her out there in the heavens. She had nothing to hold her back. Yet, something was eating at her. She truly was not one of them. Earth, with all its defects, was her home. Perhaps a perfect life on some far off world as "too perfect" for her. She craved adventure, excitement not stability and security. Her mind was made up - she would stay. No amount of persuasion could budge her from this decision. News of her decision soon reached the royal court. Queen Antara summoned Yena. The castle, usually an orderly place, was swarming with busy workers and Atlantian men of science, packing all of the important documents and papers. The queen was naturally saddened by Yena's decision but respected it as well. "Perhaps you can still serve Atlantis while on earth." She went on to explain that a number of people besides her were staying back, some had enemies on the homeworld, others for reasons only known to themselves. Each was to be implanted with the exact location of dozens of cavers. These caverns contained samples of the greatest of Atlantian achievements. Also, several small airships were positioned in the caves. When activated, they would automatically follow a course to the homeworld. Yena could then rejoin them in the heavens. The caverns would be well protected from robbers by various deadly traps so Yena would have to tread carefully. Knowledge of these treasure troves of Atlantian culture and science and how to avoid the traps would be implanted in Yena's mind. It would be in her repressed memory and only under extreme duress or longing to return to the Atlantian fold would it be activated. Also, Queen Antara told her of a rich merchant living in Athens. The man was trustworthy and had always been friendly to the Atlantian people. A number of years ago his family had been saved by the timely arrival of an Atlantian warship. Several pirate raiders were about to descend on their helpless merchant ship when an Atlantian warship intervened. The kingdom of Atlantis had deposited a vast fortune with him. He would gladly give Yena as much money as she wanted. Yena's eyes lit up - a Goltar House. She could start up her own Goltar House! Yena was told to sit down. Several men then pressed brightly colored crystals to her forehead. Swirling images of well-lit caverns filled her mind. She saw three small circular craft resting on solid gold ornate cradles. Artwork, paintings and crate after crate of untold treasure lay stacked in orderly rows. Next she saw various prominent landmarks that led to these treasures. All of this was etched deep into her mind. When she came out of the trance like state she remembered nothing of what they had told her. She did have a vague feeling of some vast knowledge or secret. Next the queen then presented Yena with a large ring. It was gold with a light colored stone of some sort. The queen told her that the stone was a weapon. It would turn varying shades of red when confronted with danger. It could read the intentions of any person. Light orange might mean that they intended to only rob her or even make violent love to her, however bright red meant they intended to kill. There was one spot on the ring, when pressed a certain way by and adjacent finger and a high intense beam of red light would shoot out. The queen then demonstrated it by destroying a pure golden ornate vase. Within seconds it was reduced to a molten pile. The queen made one last appeal for Yena to join them. Her personal airship would be the last to leave and the queen added that Demetri would pilot it. Yena was given another chance to join her friends but she was adamant on staying. Yena and Demetri had many long and sometimes violent arguments. He virtually begged her on his hands and knees to come with them. Eventually he became resigned at losing his raven haired beauty forever. They had one last lonely walk together along a pure white deserted beach. He then kissed her with such intense passion and emotion that Yena virtually melted in his arms. With tears streaming down their cheeks they said their goodbyes. The next day Yena watched as the third craft silently departed. With half her women gone or departing Polymius began shutting down her Goltar House. Yena, for once, had nothing do so she went about collecting small souvenirs of her life in Atlantis. The people, though assured a seat on the craft, were nonetheless scared witless. There was near panic when the remainder climbed aboard the fourth craft. Yena was assigned to depart on a fast Atlantian warship that would deposit her at a Greek port. The passengers were the remaining Atlantians, each imprinted with the "secret". The captain and crew, not wanting to let Atlantian technology pass to some barbarian culture, would scuttle the ship in deep water. A small, bright disk rested firmly in its cradle on the stern to carry the crew to the heavens. The deadly volcanic explosion was drawing closer when the last passenger ship rose high in the bright Mediterranean sky. No vast throng was there to watch, just Yena, waving and wishing her friends well. Atlantis was now deserted. Rubbish and fine art lay strewn about. Slowly Yena collected her things and walked through the now deserted Goltar House. Many ghosts whispered to her as the wind made an eerie whipping sound through the abandoned structure. She looked into her old room. Many beautiful memories of delicious victims filled her mind. She closed her eyes for a moment and could hear the laughs of or friends. It was all empty and deserted now. Yena heard the sharp shrill blast of the Atlantian ship calling for the passengers to board her. While walking along the abandoned streets a dark shadow come over her. It was Queen Antar's craft floating gently above her beloved Atlantis. Within seconds it disappeared into the distance. Yena felt she had enough time so she stopped by the abandoned arena. For a lark she stood on the same podium where she'd received her gold medal. The memories were too intense for her and she quickly climbed down. Then she heard it, a second blast. The third one would be the last so Yena hurried up her pace. Panic had overtaken her as she ran through deserted street after deserted street. While running she surmised that she was perhaps the last person to walk the streets of Atlantis. Stride of stride of her powerful legs brought her ever closer to the docks. She heard the last and final blast as she ran down the dock and jumped on board. It was a fine sleek ship and no doubt the captain would find it very painful to send such a beauty to the bottom of the ocean. Quickly the ship put to sea. They had hardly left port when everyone noticed a vast number of ships lying just off Atlantis. "Pirates" the captain shouted. "Man the weapons. All passengers below." He shouted with authority. Yena found an inconspicuous hiding place on deck to watch what would happen next. Pirates throughout the whole Mediterranean were aware of Atlantis being abandoned. No doubt tales of vast treasures and gold lined streets blinded them to the dangers. Though the Atlantian ship was fast and sleek and not dependent on sails it still was no match for a huge armada of pirate ships that blocked their path to safety. A dozen pirate ships drew nearer. Yena, as with the rest of the crew and passengers, knew with cold certainty what happened to those poor unfortunates captured by such brutes. Two crewmen stood next to a long metal device. On it was a red crystal of some sort. The sailors took careful aim at the bow of the nearest pirate ship and fired. A bright beam of red light silently shot out and blew the whole front end of the pirate ship off. The brigands were dumped unceremoniously into the ocean and left to drown by their fellow pirates. Another beam of red light split the next pirate ship in two. One pirate, completely on fire, dove headlong into the waves and vanished from sight. Seeing what happened to their companions the remaining ships gave the Atlantian craft a wide birth. Clear of the pirate fleet the sleek craft put as much distance from Atlantis they could. The captain and crew laughed out loud at the thought of the greedy pirates looting their beloved Atlantis. They would soon pay dearly for such greed. Yena made many friends while on board the ship. She gave the captain a small lock of her beautiful black hair to present to Demetri when he returned to the homeworld. The captain invited Yena, and any of the passengers, to come with them. About a third of the passengers had a change of heart and took him up on the offer. Not Yena, her mind was made up - she would remain. After a day at sea they put into a small Greek port. The sight of a fast and beautiful Atlantian ship pulling into a little backwater port drew a large crowd to the docks. Yena quickly disembarked and said goodbye, perhaps forever to her beloved Atlantians. CHAPTER V After disembarking from the craft Yena stretched her long sensuous legs. She was glad to have the feel of solid earth beneath her feet. It had been all so painful for her, to say goodbye to the many friends she'd made in both Atlantis and her fellow ships passengers. She hoisted up her heavy pack and began a slow long journey to Athens. The year and half she'd spent on Atlantis had spoiled her. This small seaside village stank; the people stank and were often drunken louts. Several sailors smirked and leered at Yena's naked body. The sun was hot and a long lonely journey awaited. Slowly she trudged her way up the steep slope of the main road to Athens. Her mind had been in a constant turmoil, had she done the right thing, maybe she should have gone with them to the stars. Right now her Goltar friends were no doubt pumping away on delicious victims in idyllic surroundings while Yena struggled with a heavy pack on a lonely Greek road. Suddenly a mighty blast knocked her flat to the ground. She stood up and looked out onto the vast expanse of the deep blue Mediterranean. A massive ominous black cloud was billowing high into the clear sky. Atlantis, her beloved Atlantis, was no more. The Old Man had finally rid himself of mankind's intrusion in one final eruption. All the art, the beauty, the intricate buildings and technology was all gone in one second. Yena dropped to her knees and cried. She suffered such a deep searing pain in her heart that no amount of consolation or passage of time could ever heal. She felt alone now, truly alone; only her beautiful memories and some small souvenirs were left. Yena would treasure them all for the rest of her life. Yena had enough money to pay for a ride into Athens but she needed time alone, to think of her future and what would she do with her life. As the day wore on Yena was aware of a growing need for a kill. She had passed any number of suitable males loitering around the road. Then up ahead she spied him, a cute young lad walking along unaccompanied. Yena quickly caught up with him. He smiled up at her and they exchanged small talk. He was a likeable young male with soft light brown hair and deep brown eyes. She had to have him. Yena stated plainly her intention. "I want to kill you. I want to sit on you and smother you to death." The youth looked up at the tall beauty. Perhaps he had guessed at Yena's intentions all along. Yena was aware that there seemed to be some unspoken connection or mutual mind link between a women and her intended victim. He shrugged his shoulders and sighed. She led him not far off the road to a small grassy field. He immediately laid flat on his back to await Yena's smother. He didn't have long to wait. Yena stood over his up turned face then slowly settled down on him in a squat smother. She closed her eyes as the familiar pleasure of his nose rose deep into her body. The exquisite feeling of his young nose resting tight inside her reminded her of the Goltar House and Atlantis. She took him, slowly at first then building to an overwhelming orgasm. He had been a most cooperative victim so far, so, with great restraint, Yena decided to postpone the kill until later that night. After working on him for a few hours she decided to give the lad a break. She, with great reluctance, climbed off him. The youth laid still for a moment in a dazed state. Then his chest heaved deeply as he gasped for air. Being under Yena's pumping hips for over two hours had all but exhausted him. He was quit surprised to discover that he was still alive. In fact, he seemed anxious for Yena to re mount him. The lad seemed happy to hear that Yena was going to save him for a long relaxing smother later that evening. Yena gathered her things together and she, and her youthful companion began a long walk to Athens. They hadn't gone far when a women called to them from a small cottage off the main of the road. "Polemo where the hell have you been? She yelled. The women was of typical peasant stock, rugged, a bit crude and unpolished. It was obvious that all she had known her whole life was constant back breaking work with few pleasures. She was in her early 40's with a tangle of unwashed brown hair that had a few strands of straw sticking from it. The young lad at Yena's side was obviously the missing Polemo. "Hi my name is Yena and I've been smothering him for the last few hours." The women looked at them for a few seconds and said softly "Oh I see. That's fine. Why don't you come in for a cup of wine, I don't often get visitors, especially an Atlantian. They're a rare sight in Greece." Her name was Altora, just a common pheasant women with no exciting past. Her husband was a sailor, perhaps she surmised, a pirate. He hadn't been home in six months. The only good he ever seemed to do was send her a tidy sum of money now and then. Yena remembered the pirate fleet poised to invade Atlantis - if he was with them he would never be coming back. Her hut looked very familiar to Yena for it resembled her own home she had been raised in. The only furniture was two rickety chairs and a well used table. A large stone fireplace dominated the room. As was typical to peasant homes it didn't have any rooms. Just one open wooden cottage with bedding spread out along the sides. She had two small cute girls and a young boy that walked around with his thumb in his mouth. The children were all dirty and un-kept. Off to one side lay a young boy. He just lay still breathing hard. Yena then inquired. "Your son over there, is he sick?" The women shot a bored glance in his direction "He's not my son he's my victim. I've been smother'en the hell out'a him for the last few weeks. This is probably the most he's seen of daylight for a long time." The thoroughly exhausted boy turned toward Yena. He was in a very bad way. No doubt the constant smothering by Altora was having a devastating effect on his frail body. He tried to sit up but couldn't and just slumped back down moaning and taking in air in small raspy gulps. Yena noticed that he was especially young for a victim. But then this was not Atlantis. Greek women couldn't be choosy. They had to take what was available and be thankful at that. Yena's mother, as with the rest of the women of her village, had no hesitation to smother a young boy. Many a time she had seen her mother stretched out atop a small male. Yena had made only 23 kills as a young girl. They were mostly young village boys. This was normal and expected of a young girl. Some of the more aggressive girls of the village accounted for hundreds of smothers. You might expect that with all the smothering going on a shortage of young males might develop. The peasants bread like rats, each family might have 12 or more children and there was never any danger of a shortage. Yena remembered one time while out playing with her friends she looked at one of her playmates. He was a young boy several years younger than her. She had only made a few kills so far so and smothering was a new adventure for her. He had always been a playmate now it suddenly dawned on her that he would make a nice smother. They wrestled playfully for a few minutes then Yena pinned him to the ground. She remembered the surprised look on his face as she carefully hiked her dress up and slid over his face. It took her four hours of hard work, including a lot of grunting and groaning, before she made her kill. Yena thanked Altora for the wine but explained she wanted to put some miles behind her before dark. She tried to pay for the drink but Altora wouldn't accept any money. Young Polemo paused at the door and looked around. He knew he wouldn't ever be coming back. Yena could tell that Altora was anxious to start again on her victim. As Yena and Polemo prepared to leave Altora pulled up her skirt to her waist at sat firmly on her victims face in a reverse straddle smother. She then smoothed the dress around herself so only the boys small feet protruded out from under her. While walking toward the main road Yena asked Polemo if his mother did much smothering. Yes, a lot, she was always sitting on a victim. All of the women seemed to have a young lad in their bed. The nights were long and lonely, their men were often gone to war or to sea so a relaxing smother was a nice reward after a hard day's work. Yena's long powerful legs were not match to Polemo and she would often have to wait for him to catch up. Mile after boring mile passed behind them. Several large bulky farm wagons passed by dropping a few delicious oranges and other fruit. Yena and Polemo would then grab up all they could. At last dark was coming on the land and Yena began looking for a well protected site for a camp. Before she left Atlantis she'd purchased a number of items that would make her life easier. One was a small compact tent and a whole sack full of utensils. Gander had great fun looking over the mysterious items. He was intrigued when Yena took out a blue rock from her sack. She casually hit it hard with a rock she found on the ground and the blue rock began to glow. Not only glow but put off warmth as well. Yena would miss Polemo, he had been a nice well behaved lad and traveling companion. However, a women's needs had to be satisfied and Polemo would fulfill those needs amply. With the campsite all arranged she directed Polemo into the tent. He, quite naively, lay down with his head on the pillow. Yena stripped then entered the tent. "Polemo" she said in mock irritation, "the other way round." Then it dawned on the youth she wanted him the opposite way round. "Sorry" he said with an embarrassed laugh. Yena then lay down on his face, spread her legs wide and wiggled her hips around, working his nose deep into place. Once satisfied she pulled a blanket over both of them so they would be protected from the cold. They then began deep pumping circular hip grinding. A flood of warm erotic sensuality swept over her almost immediately. She rode him like a ship riding a violent flowing sea. She traveled to new heights of orgasm, time and time again her body trembled as she was swept away in the sweat embrace of passion. She hadn't put any oil on the youths face but she was giving him a very wet ride none the less. She violently worked him long into the night, then, at the height of a majestic orgasm, he died. Her body ached from such an ordeal. Now completely exhausted but well satisfied, she drug the body of her latest conquest from the tent. A small ravine was nearby so she tossed it in. Completely relaxed, Yena slipped off into a peaceful sleep. Next day dawned bright and cheerful. Yena looked around and found a stream to bath in and relax before she "hit the road again." It was such a warm beautiful day that she decided to go nude. Other than the delicious Polemo, it had been a long and boring journey. While on the road she kept a look out a suitable victim to liven up an otherwise lonely journey. Often her thoughts would drift to Atlantis, the twins, Demetri, and the Goltar House. How she missed them. She'd given up all that beauty and security and for what - a lonely hot walk through miles of nothingness to a hot smelly city. Apples, an apple tree sat off to the right. A nice ripe apple would be a pleasant snack. Then she saw the boy sitting leaning against the tree eating an apple. Yena immediately looked him over. He was just a mere boy much too young to be taken for a smother. Yena then thought of the women in her village. They wouldn't have hesitated for a second. Yena's own mother would have had him under in no time. The possibility of taking him for a smother intrigued Yena. She would look him over, talk to him and perhaps build up her courage to mount him. He was very cute with jet black hair and a small round face. His name was Balak or something like that for he slurred his sentences and ran words together. According to the lad he had been abandoned by his parents a few days ago and he'd been living on apples since. While they were talking Yena carefully took note of the tall warm grassy field behind them which would make a good location for a long smother. She sat down next to the lad and brushed the hair out of face. He had big round dark eyes. She gently pushed him flat to the warm grass a swung a leg across his chest. Yena was contemplating which position to use on him when an old women approached. She was one of those "colorful people" or an eccentric. Her ragged cloths was nothing more than various patches of brightly colored cloth sewn together. She had a big colorful floppy hat that made her whole appearance comical. She was tall and thin with a rugged weather-beaten face. "Well sister, ya gon'na plant your bare butt on his face or not." She said, getting right to the point. "Yena ran a fingers across his small bare chest and said thoughtfully "maybe. Do you want him?" "Damn right I do, I ain't had a nose up the old puss for over a week." Yena hadn't quite gathered up the courage to sit on the boy - perhaps, she thought, theirs a victim more to her choosing right around the next corner. Besides, this poor old lady had gone for a week without a smother. "Take him if you want, he's a little too young for my appetite." Yena said sitting up. "Well thank you. Names Jabberbar" she said extending a hand. She then stood over the boys head, hiked up her skirt and lowered down on him in a straddle smother. She spread her legs really wide and began to slide slowly over his head. The lad arched his head back and looked out on the world for the last time. He had a frightened look in his eye. "Come on little one, cooperate with granny" Jabberbar said as she held his head straight. She then slid over him and his nose slowly disappeared into a dark mat of pubic hair. All that was now visible of the boy was a small wisp of his black hair now mingling with Jabberbr's dark brown pubic hair. Satisfied he was firmly in place she began working his nose around inside her. "Ah, oh, this feel SOOO damn good. You shouldn't be so damn fussy. Ya got'ta take your smothers were ya finds e'm. I've had many a young nose up my butt. Hell, a lot a them younger than this." Jabberbar stated as she smoothed her dress around herself. Yena and the eccentric old lady talked for sometime. It seemed that a band of Amazon raiders had recently swept through the farmland up ahead. They didn't do much damage but concentrated on smothering every young male they could find. Even small babies were not exempt from their smothering frenzy. By stripping certain areas bare of young males they reduced the prospect of them becoming warriors when they grew up, warriors that the Amazons would then face in battle. By keeping the male population down to a more manageable level they ensured their own survival. Yena then excused herself and wished the old lady a good smother and moved on. The thought of a whole vast area stripped clear of victims was frightening. It was about mid noon when she came across two women arguing over a small boy. Both of them were claiming him. It was quit a heated exchange that might eventually lead to a fight. The women of this area, deprived of victims, would soon get desperate - who knows what would happen then. Yena passed a field where the rotting bodies of several dozen victims lay. She had to put a cloth over her face to cover the stench. It was getting late in the day and she hadn't seen one victim. For the next two days she marched on - still no victims. By now her body was virtually crying out for one. Things were getting desperate, just how big an area did these Amazons devastate anyway? Why oh why hadn't she gone with the Atlantians, she thought to herself. Rounding a bend she almost stumbled into a young boy. He was even younger than the old lady Jabberbar's victim. Yena was not going to hesitate but quickly ushered him off the road. It seemed like in no time at all she was sitting on his face, stroking his nose up her butt in a reverse straddle smother. With each stroke she began to feel her female needs satisfied. Aside from being young he was also very frail. Yena had to be careful and not get carried away. With choice victims in short supply she wanted this one to last a bit, to get the most out of him. After two hours she decided to climb off the lad and look over just what she'd captured. He gasped for breath and coughed. His soft blonde curly hair was all matted down. "Sorry about his." Yena said apolitically. He didn't say much then looked up at her. "You an Amazon? He asked rubbing his nose. He was terrified of them. He had been playing with his brothers and sisters when the Amazons swept in. They wore frightening masks, feathers and held long swords. Somehow he managed to dive into a pile of hay. The boy watched from safety as they smothered his brothers to death. Some of them then went into his house and drug out his mother's victim to smother as well. She was begging and pleading to spare the boy but they ignored her. Now, well satisfied, they grabbed his sisters to take them away and raise them as Amazons. His mother tried to fight them but was instantly killed by a sword thrust. He was now alone and subsisting as best he could. "Well you'll have a new home of sorts deep inside me." Yena said gently stroking his hair. Holding back tears he nodded in agreement. About that time a farm wagon approached. An old peasant women was driving it. Yena asked if she could pay for a ride. With the exchange of a few coins Yena and her fresh victim climbed onboard. Yena immediately noticed the body of a very young victim stretched out underneath the old lady. Yena then directed her young victim to lay down in the same position so she could sit on his face while the cart bounced and bumped its way along. The old lady handed Yena a large blanket. "Better cover him up good" she said pointing to Yena's victim. "Them's scarce around her and lot'sa women gonna get REAL excited over a cute one like that." She said. The old lady then raised up slightly off her victim. "You want water or something honey?" she asked looking down at him. The victim, as much as Yena could see of him, had light brown hair and was about the same age as Yena's captive. A small weak voice replied "no thank you." "Suit yourself," replied the old women sitting back on his face. With Yena's victim safely concealed under a blanket she sat securely on his face. The old wagon made a lurch and moved forward. The motion of the cart constantly massaged the victims nose's up inside the women created a most pleasing sensation. After a few miles the road separated. The old women explained she was going to the left and Athens lay to the right. Yena thanked her and helped her exhausted victim off the cart. The lad was in a bad way so Yena decided to kill him. She led him to a small grassy field and mounted him. The smother didn't take long and soon she was back on he road. Not far ahead five ordinary looking men blocked her path. Yena was nude and carried no sword so she felt very vulnerable. Carefully she fingered the ring given to her by Queen Antera. They didn't look threatening or particularly dangerous. Maybe they were just fellow travelers on the way to Athens or local peasants. Just to make sure she looked at the ring. To her horror it was glowing bright red. They intended to kill her. This was crazy for they looked innocent enough. What would she do, what if the ring was wrong? Yena didn't want to murder innocent people. She had seen enough of Atlantian science to know that the ring was not lying. No words had been spoken when Yena aimed her ring at them and methodically fired blast after blast. The men didn't have a chance. She aimed for their chest and sent them flying some 20 to 30 feet. It was all over in seconds. Yena never gave them a second thought and resumed her journey. Mile after tedious mile stretched out in boring repetition. The she perked up when she noticed many delicious young males about. At first just a few then more and more. She was now out of the devastated area. While walking along she noticed the bodies of three freshly smothered young males on the side of the road. A women in her mid 40's was struggling with a heavy pack. She was nude. A tall blonde with her hair piled high on her head - an Atlantian! She had two girls with her, they were also nude and in their early teens. Evidently they had just completed kills and were resuming their journey. Yena approached and said "Hi." They looked at her with suspicion until they noticed her backpack and Atlantian symbol burned into her right shoulder. Their whole mode changed. To meet fellow Atlantian on a lonely stretch of Greek highway was a heartwarming experience. Yena was about to broach the subject of Atlantis when the women casually stated she couldn't wait to get back to her home in Atlantis. Evidently she and her daughters hadn't heard. As carefully as she could Yena told her the whole story. They all broke down crying and screaming. Yena couldn't blame them. Their home, security, friends and family was now gone, vanished from the face of the earth. They were now trapped on this world and in an alien culture. Yena told them of the merchant in Athens and her plans on setting up a Goltar House. This seemed to liven up their spirits. Perhaps they could make a living as a Goltar. The young girls were especially excited over such a prospect. Then again they could find other Atlantian women and create a little of Atlantis right there in Athens. Yena and her traveling companions walked on until he came to a top of a small hill. Ancient Athens lay before them, and a whole new adventure was about to unfold. To Be Continued.
