Tessa by Hamlet The Whipmistress stood over the prostrate body of Her victim Sergeant Gonzalez. Once more She had totally defeated him as he laid there his whole body covered in indelible sword marks and weals from Her whip and sword. Every single centimetre of his body was covered in marks and bruises that left him in permanent pain. All over his body there were huge marks from Her sword with the letter W that covered both his eyes, his stomach, his arms, hands and legs. Their swords had clashed once again as he lunged hopelessly at Her as She easily deflected every single blow. . As usual She looked as stunning as ever dressed in full fighting regalia in shiny black leather that struck terror into Her enemies. She wore a black leather Stetson, a skin tight face mask so that only Her moth with shiny red lipstick was visible. She wore a silk scarf, a skin tight leather jacket long leather gloves, skin tight leather trousers and knee length boots with 6" heels Around Her She wore a long shiny leather cape. Around Her waist She carried a long sword, an array of daggers and the most terrifying weapon of all a 20 feet long whip cat o nine tails with steel thongs that were razor sharp and could rip Her opponent's faces to shreds. .At Her knees were two soldiers whom She had given a good whipping to as they writhed in the ground in agony their bodies covered in blood from the thongs on Her whip screaming as they .clutched their bloody faces YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! '!Madre de dios ! Curse you Norsi witch! You have crossed my path and sword for the last time!!'he yelled in impotent rage at Her. "!Madre de dios! Maldigo Vd. norsi bruja! !!!Vd. habe cruzado mi camino y la espada por #ltima vez!!!!" Even though She was a Bothnian and a Norselander She spoke perfect Spanish having lived in California for five years during She had spent the whole time pondering, raling and pillaging enjoying every moment of Her victories over the Spanish dogs!. 'And my dear Gonzalez we meet again and I can see you are covered in scars and bruises from our previous confrontations! You know how I treasure our earnest encounters!' 'Mi querido Gonzalez nos volveremos a ver y veo que usted est# cubierto de cicatrices y briuioses de enfrentamientos anteriores pour! !Sabe Vd c#mo atesoro nuestros encuentros en serios!' 'Go to hell you mangy Norsi bitch!' 'IVa al infierno perra Norsi sarnosa!' 'Art politics philosophy? With whom else can I discuss the finer aspects of life?' She said enjoying humiliating him # # #Filosof#a pol#tica de arte? #Con qui'n puedo discutir los aspectos m#s finos de la vida?' 'I will destroy you!'he screamed in fury. #Vd destruir'!' He made a desperate attempt to attack Her but She easily parried him as She always did. 'If this is to be our final tete a tete!' '#Si esto debe ser nuestro final tete un tete' She parried his sword with expert precision as he went flying back against the wall letting out a piercing scream of agony YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! 'Allow Me to leave you with this small token.' 'Perm#tanme que dejo con este peque#o obsequio.' She brought down Her sword as his sword went flying out of his hand. Once more he knew he was utterly beaten 'Of my affection! '!De mi afecto! With that She lunged forward with expert skill drawing a huge W for Whipmistres right across his stomach as blood came spewing out of his stomach. This was added to all the other W symbols that covered every part of his body. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! 'You Norsi bitch I will I will peel of my skin with my bare hands!!' '#Usted hembra norsi voy me desconchar' de mi piel de mis manos desnudas!!' She laughed at his ridiculous empty threats as She whistled for Her horse Tornado being a brilliant Horse Mistress amongst all Her other skills 'Adios amigo! I'm sure the Californian peons send their thanks for the return of their overtaxed wages!' #Amigo de Adios! #Estoy seguro que los peones californianos env#an su gracias por la vuelta de sus salarios gravados en exceso!' Gonzalez stood there clutching his stomach lying on the ground in abject pain as more blood came spewing out on the ground 'I will pluck out your eyes you Bothnian witch!' !Arrancar' le observa bruja de bothnia!' He groaned in more pain writing on the ground in abject torment. She rode off into the distance clutching the bag with over a million pesos to return to the poor downtrodden peasants of California The year was 1819.The Whipmistress whose real name was Tessa Alvaheim came from the Bothnian islands a chain of eight islands located in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Southern California along the Santa Barbara Channel under the sovereignty of The Queen Dom of Norseland.( (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_Islands_of_California) In the 1ate 18th the century there was extensive settlement from Pacifica now Norseland a Swedish colony that lay over 1000 miles away .The Settlers The Norse Folk mainly settled in the islands of Santa Cruz and Santa Catalina where they developed agriculture and created towns and settlements. .They used the islands as bases for attacking the Californian mainland in particular Los Angeles. They formed groups called Buccaneeera also known as Swordmastresses, that like everything else in Pacifica later Norseland consisted mainly of Norse Women or Valkyrie. Yet there were plenty of Swordmasters who loved raping and pillaging and debauching Spanish women with Their gigantic Norse Cocks. The Swordmastresses or Buccaneera were expert Sword and Whip Fighters and would terrify the local inhabitants, just like the Vikings did over a thousand years before when they piaged the whole of Europe. To the Buccaneera like Tessa who was a Chief and Regent, the raids were a normal and desirable consequence of the pressures on a growing society especially the lack of natural resources in the Iand of the religious beliefs of the Norse People that held that their religion and ways of life were superior to all other peoples. What made the Buccaneera raids so notable were their success due in large part to the superiority of Their long ships and fighting skills and their ability to attack right across the whole territory of California. Raiding was a desirable occupation for a young Woman or Valkyrie, although a more mature Woman was expected to settle down and raise a family and teach Her children the Noble Arts of fighting and Gym Kata Raiding increased a Woman's stature in Norse Folk society. A successful raider returned home to the Bothnian Islands Pacifica with wealth and fame, the two most important qualities needed to climb the social ladder. The loot that Buccaneera desired was anything of value that was compact enough to carry on-board their Long Ships back to the Islas Canalos which soon had a majority Norse poluation the few Spanish being ejected from the islands. With Norseland attaining independence in 1815 a whole series of towns and forts has been built notably Lulea in Santa Catalina and Vesterhavn .On September 15 1817 Norseland took control of the islands in one day ejecting and renamed them the Bothnian Islands ethnically cleansing the islands of the Spanish population . Gold and silver was looted from California as well as clothing and food, all valuable items. Captured livestock was often slaughtered on the spot to provide fresh food for the raiders. The first recorded Buccaneera raid occurred in the year 1799, against the Mission of San Luis Rey near Oceanside California. Missions and cathedrals were frequent targets of Buccaneera raiders not because the raiders were particularly anti-Catholic, but rather because that's where the money was. The tithes collected by the church concentrated the wealth in the monasteries during this period. The raiders recognized that fact and took advantage of it. The Buccaneera would take great pleasure out of looting the Missions and generally Raping and Pillaging as much as they could. The friars could be raped by the Swordmisteerses using the strap on which had been developed in Norseland as a means for women to debauch Spanish men in the most ruthless way, while Spanish women would be debauched by the thousands by the Swordmasters with their enormous Norse Cocks. The friars and the women and the local peasants could then be chained together to be taken back to the Bothnian Islands and to work as slaves. Tessa revelled in Her power as a Buccaneera .She loved to humiliate and defeat the Spanish troops and if necessary kill as many as possible. At the same time She was aware of the misgovernment in California under Spanish rule at the end of the Napoleonic wars and the misery suffered by the peons many of whom welcomed the Bucanneera as their liberators and saviours. Everywhere She went Tessa was known as the WHIPMISTRESS AND MASKED AVENGER!! LA VENGADORA ENMASCARADA!! Comments for future episodes welcome to norselandic@hotmail.com
