“Hope you do not mind a dirty knife. Like I said, that corpse you just tossed aside decided she did not wish for a clean kill. Oh well, all blood looks the same really,” he presses the tip of the unnecessarily large blade right where her hip bone protruded the most then dragged it closer to the middle of her torso, gradually increasing pressure on the blade until it pierced through her skin.
Brazen Bull or the Sicilian Bull is a execution device designed in ancient Greece.Perillos of Athens, a brass-founder, proposed to Phalaris, the tyrant of Akragas, Sicily, the invention of a new means for executing criminals. Accordingly, he cast a bull, made entirely of brass, hollow, with a door in the side. The condemned were shut in the bull and a fire was set under it, heating the metal until it became yellow hot and causing the person inside to roast to death. The bull was designed in such a way that its smoke rose in spicy clouds of incense. The head of the ox was designed with a complex system of tubes and stops so that the prisoner’s screams were converted into sounds like the bellowing of an infuriated bull. It is also said that when the bull was reopened, the scorched bones of the remains shone like jewels and were made into bracelets.
Does one speak inclusively?
“…mayhaps. We do not care much for your tone…or your expression, though we can hardly see what is underneath. What concern is Loki’s smile to you, hm?”
Oh, do you find my mind hard to read? And yet, an open book this one so oft is even. There is no concern from me. Though curious I am to the behavior you seem to display.
Such is not unfamiliar behavior to this one, no. Another this one was so familiar with. Lips once sewn shut with a thick golden needle.
The thread unforgiving of release for he, it was. One could not cut it, but the flesh one could. What a fun toy he was. Dead now, unfortunately. No matter, this one has other toys to play with.
This is a form of torture used first by Persians in 401BC.
The word scaphism comes from the Greek word skaphe, meaning scooped or hollowed.
The naked person was firmly fastened within a back-to-back pair of narrow rowing boats (or a hollowed-out tree trunk), with the head, hands, and feet protruding. The condemned was forced to ingest milk and honey to the point of developing severe diarrhea, and more honey would be rubbed on his body in order to attract insects to the exposed appendages.He or she would then be left to float on a stagnant pond or be exposed to the sun. The defenseless individual’s feces accumulated within the container, attracting more insects, which would eat and breed within his or her exposed and increasingly gangrenous flesh. The feeding would be repeated each day in some cases to prolong the torture, so that dehydration or starvation did not provide him or her with the release of death. Death, when it eventually occurred, was probably due to a combination of dehydration, starvation and septic shock. Delirium would typically set in after a few days. Death by scaphism was painful, humiliating, and protracted.
