I could hardly understand what he was saying, what he wanted from me, and he shouted, ‘Get undressed! God damn you, and go to her!’


And I don’t remember how I did all that, I was begging the Gods for only one thing, that he’d be pleased with me, or at least satisfied, and wouldn’t beat me, lock me in a dark room, whatever, I just wanted him to let me go as soon as possible. That slave girl was all shaking in fear as much as I did, I got on top of her somehow, I’ve seen couple of times in the garden during the summer how the servants did it. I was hoping that I understood correctly what he wanted from me…


He said: ‘That’s right, atta-boy!’, and I started poking into her, everything was so terrible…


He was standing and staring…


I just remember thinking with horror, what should I do next, and when will it all end…


First my penis rose, out fear more than desire, I think. And then it fell, I didn’t even feel that I came, didn’t feel that anything oozed from me and into her, that everything was finished.


He said: ‘That’s enough! Get out!’ I bolted, but he held me up, grabbed my shoulder and started staring at me…


It was unbearable, the contempt and disgust he was staring at me with, like at some bed bug. And then he said, ‘My son is good for nothing! Why do I deserve this punishment! And this one’s blood is too dirty, he’s so dirty, punishment from the Gods!” Started muttering, as usual, about the curse of Gods, and then turned to Arel and yelled at him so terribly… I would die on the spot, but Arel didn’t even move a muscle.


He yelled at Arel: ‘you are going to sit in this room till you become a man!’ And locked them up in there.


And that was it” – Vil froze, looking down.


“Yee-ah… not fun again” – Tol muttered after a while. The friends were silent.


“Well, now we know how Arel became a man” – Enriki finally said. “Who has left?”


“What makes you think it was then that I became a man?” – Orel smiled, like nothing happened. It seemed he was the only one completely unimpressed by Vil’s story, – “Actually, by then I’ve fucked every made and slave girl in that castle about a hundred times”.


“So why the fuck did you…” – Enriki shouted, surprised.


Orel laughed: “Just to piss father off! He thought I was good for nothing, and I didn’t feel like dissuading him.
