2: marked by, exhibiting, or carried out with courage or determination : HEROIC
For Lady Amanda and Lady Ariel it was to be another day at the office. It was unusual to be called to the same shoot. For a year management had to keep them separated as the intense dislike between them spilled into the films. No suspicion arose when they were told a submissive known to be unreliable was late for the shoot. In an unexpected turn, Amanda and Ariel were soon before the Cards of Pain on side reserved for subs.
They were offered the opportunity to win life changing money. They stood back-to-back to declare who would pick up the gauntlet. If both did, they would duel. When the host asked if their decisions were final, only Lady Ariel's hand was raised. Only she would test her resilience against the cards and her enemy, Lady Amanda.
A powerful lioness, long blond hair pulled back in a bun, piercing eyes and ruby red lips stood before the Cards of Pain. Her ego was as big as the room as she accepted no shelter from the rule that allowed her have one card tossed from the deck prior to picking.
The first round body part was breast. In her right hand, Amanda held a whip and in her heart, three years of hate ready to erupt. Ariel, tied helplessly to a beam, had only a sharp tongue, defiant attitude and want of treasure. Twenty strokes were in order and the lucky card compelled Ariel to count backward. Any mistake would require the round to start again.
The subtle difference in pronunciation between the words 15 and16 in Hungarian became a dispute as to whether Ariel made a counting error triggering a restart. The host sided with the domina. Amanda was energized. Ariel's spirit was fractured. Every stroke from then on seemed more painful. Amanda mocked Ariel at the sight of her first tear. Later, Amanda would say "Come on! Just cry! I want to see you suffer." For the entire film, tears rolled down Ariel's cheeks, she screamed, her body swayed and shuddered in pain, but she never cried.
The second round was 25 strokes and the lucky card was "Full Body". Ariel was tied AOH allowing Amanda to spin her like a top several times. Harsh words between them followed. Ariel screamed loudest when her hips and lower belly were attacked. Amanda also continued to savage Ariel's well striped breasts.
Hubris is excessive pride and the gods of kink brought the "3X All" card to light for round three. Twenty five for back became 75. Ariel felt the weight of the task in front of her. Again harsh words were exchanged then Amanda commanded, "Count!"
Amanda was relentless. She landed big full-force strokes every time. As they moved deep into the round, Amanda waited in vein after every stroke to hear the words "I give up". She seemed to become more furious each time she heard only the count. Ariel screamed, moaned, breath deeply but choked back every urge to cry. The count was barely audible at stroke 66. At 69 Amanda urged her to give up. At 71, Ariel could barely speak. Amanda screamed, "71. I help you." "72" fell from Ariel lips as her head slumped and she swung in her bonds. Stroke 73 cut through the air, found it mark and the lioness was silent. Amanda screamed "Count!", but there was only silence.
After the third round, an exhausted Ariel sat meekly at the board as the host turned the card for her so she did not need to walk to the far end of the board. The Dom’s Choice card was revealed. When Amanda stepped on to the set, she disputed that Ariel completed round three. As Amanda scanned the body parts from which to choose. Ariel contradicted her by saying that 80 strokes had been enough. Lady Amanda penalized Ariel only once for disrespectful behavior but she would tolerate no more. "There is room for 60 more on your back".
Hunters carry out the "coup de grace" as an act of mercy towards their prey. Amanda would execute this "coup de grace" with the intent of stomping out her enemy. Everyone in the room, especially Ariel, knew she could not survive 60 strokes to the back. They urged her to quit. The lioness however, does not feebly quit the game while at the interview set. She stepped courageously to the arena where Lady Amanda would have to rip the game from her.
The boldness Ariel showed during the opening interview was torn away by Lady Amanda in round three. Perhaps appropriately, the lioness was positioned on her knees with her arms tied 45 degrees to her torso. She stared with unfocused eyes forward into the abyss. Beaten yet unbowed she awaited her fate. Amanda stated the terms of the round and concluded, "I would not be in your place". Ariel responded, "I did not expect sympathy from you." Amanda whistled the whip toward Ariel's already brutalized back. The sound of the impact echoed in the room. There was a scream from the lioness and then, "One”.
For Ariel and Amanda it was not business, it was personal. This may have been the most real of all Pedro's reality films. Buy it 100 times if you can. Grade A.
