Faridah's morning quickly gets worse.  A pair of minotaurs, whose badges name them Moose and Rocco, arrive shortly after she awakens.<br/><br/>"You know what is expected of you," says Moose.<br/><br/>"If you disobey, we are to beat you half to death and ravish you the rest of the way.  Feel free to disobey," leers Rocco.<br/><br/>So saying, they detach the net from the pulley system and set it gently on the floor, pulling it open so that Faridah can crawl out of the trap.  At the same time, Mellisande enters, pulling a naked girl along on a leash--and to the princess's horror, the leash is attached to a chain that runs between two heavy and uncomfortable nipple clamps.  The girl's arms have been tied behind her back at the elbow, thrusting her chest out.  Around her slender waist is a belt, from which a number of whips and paddles hang.  Another girl follows behind, and Faridah can recognize her as the poor toy from last night.  She carries a tray piled with ropes and other restraining gear.  The little parade halts at the central couch.  Mellisande takes a seat, and the other two kneel beside her.  Giving the leash a wanton yank, which makes the first girl squeak in alarm, the sorceress cooly regards her guest.<br/><br/><strong>"How is my newest bitch toy this morning?  Is she prepared for a whipping?"</strong>
