Enslavement Ritual
A record fragment of a uraz ritual to enslave a human.
A Record of enslavement in 1762
There are very few accessible direct records of Pre-Imperial Ur society, so one such rare document is an eyewitness account written by a Englishman who witnessed the Enslavement Ritual, and wrote of it:
“… and so bound, he (the human to be enslaved) was brought to the (slave) stones and several witnesses gathered, the bull that claimed him led him around the ring three times and announced in his native tongue -so loudly that my ears hurt- that he was going to claim a man. Several more bulls came at the call to witness, standing outside the ring they watched in silence. The ring was already prepared for the late afternoon ritual, a fire burned in the center of the ring, and small alcoves in each stone had a lit candle and some small item. The center of the ring had a small table as well, covered with a cloth and prepared items for the ritual."
The bull brought his captive to the table in the middle of the ring, and the Uraz disrobed, took a curved ritual dagger from the table and cut the clothes and rope from the boy, leaving him shivering in his nakedness.
The boy, a human of twenty-one years, was led over to the first stone by the nude bull. This was the stone that promised water, and the bull spoke to the captive primarly, but to the witnesses also: “You shall only thirst if I thirst." As he did he took an iron cuff from the alcove in the stone, this with the mark of 'water' engraved on it, and locked it to the boy's left hand. Then the uraz took up a chalice from the alcove and spoke: “drink from my cup." And the bull put the chalice in the human's left hand and the man drank the water in it. The bull returned the empty cup to the alcove.
As they moved, the witnesses did too silently watching the ritual. The man was brought to the next stone, where his captor picked up a iron cuff marked with the glyph for 'provender' and spoke: “you shall only hunger if I do" as he locked the cuff to the boy's right wrist. Then taking a piece of bread from that stones alcove he handed it to the captive placing it in the human's right hand saying: “eat from my plate." The shivering man ate the morsel of bread in silence.
Moving to the next stone of protection, the bull spoke loudly as he took two iron cuffs “in my home you may find comfort"
and the bull knelt by the humans left side, and placed a cuff on his ankle with the glyph mark of 'hearth'. Standing and moving to the mans right he said: “In my care you shall be safe." and the bull knelt by his side and placed a cuff on his ankle with the glyph mark of 'warding'. Rising the bull placed a blanket on the humans shoulders, providing some warmth but not hiding any of his nakedness.
They moved first to the central bonfire, and the human was warmed. Sunset was close at hand and small snow flakes fell in ones and twos. The bull stood close, pressed to his humans back, sharing body heat as the human faced the fire for warmth. The assembled witnesses murmured a tiny bit but were otherwise still.
Once the master was confident in his human's warmth, he took the blanket from him, thenlead the man to the next stone. Taking the iron collar in his hands he approached his human face to face. “In my care you shall have guidance." The bull said closing the collar around the humans neck. “Kneel, Slave." It was a command, and spoken like it. The last word cut down the humans ego. With the tiniest hesitation the human knelt, no longer just a captive, no longer with a hope of freedom. “You kneel before your owner, your master." He attached a short woven leather leash to the iron collar. “Now stand, slave." The deep bull voice boomed over the silent air.
The man gulped nervously but stood. The bull lead him up to the stone and guided him by the lead to face it, then raised and fastened first the human's left, then right arm. The humans wrist irons clipped to iron rings embedded on each side of the massive stone. The bull addressed the nude form with arms spread overhead, back side bared, and face pressed against the rock: “in my care you shall have discipline." He said taking up a strap of leather. 'Crack!' The strap hit both cheeks leaving a stinging red stripe and the human cried out. The bull continued with strikes, leather reddening the boy's ass, one stripe for each year the human lived before being enslaved. Twenty one powerful stripes left the human shaking and whimpering softly. His master set he strap aside and touched the reddened ass softly with his hand while his snout nuzzled and whispered something comforting in the humans ear.
The human seemed to gain resolve and steadied himself. The bull smiled, tail swishing, pleased. Releasing the clips on the wrist irons, the bull and human walked back to the fire side by side, the bull's arm over the man's shoulder affectionately, but also supporting the man. The human warmed his front, facing the bonfire. After five or so minutes the ritual continued. The sun was moments from disappearing behind the horizon.
Approaching the final stone the bull spoke: “in your submission to me you shall not feel the needs of lust. Slave, approach." The bull said as he took the humans left hand and and raised it up to the right side of the stone. Clipping the iron cuff to a ring embedded in the stone. He then took the slave's right wrist and spun the man's back against the stone and fastened it overhead as well. Now standing with both arms overhead and back pressed to the standing stone, the slave fretted some. The bull reached to an alcove between the humans legs, while spreading them some. The small cloth pouch he removed and opened, showing the contents to the slave as he readied it. Shiny steel ring and what looked like a tiny cup, or maybe a large thimble were separated. As the bull placed the ring around the slaves cock he spoke: “this ring is my promise to you-"
Then as he readied and applied the tube over the slave's penis the human looked down in stunned awe and confused horror. The bull continued: “this is your sacrifice to me-" He said as the tube fit into place.
The human tugged on the wrist irons frantically as the meaning and purpose of the device set in “no, please, no!" The slave begged quietly in hushed voice close to tears. The bull continued his ritual, ignoring the whines of the slave: “-and this lock is my will." He said as he locked the parts together with a tiny brass key hanging from his necklace.
“I will keep my promises, and honor your sacrifice, and hold fast my will." The bull said taking a hand full of grease from a bowl in the stones alcove and first applying it to his massive hardening cock with a stroking motion, reading himself to care for his human's needs. He reached between the mans legs and wiped off a bunch of grease on the man's pucker, then gripped both of the boys legs and hefted them up, spread around the bull's hips. The human was stammering and begging the bull not to, but the bulls hands just grasped the boy's hips and the now hard bull part pressed into the pucker. A wailing cry rang out in the frosty night. Both male's breath could be seen in the cold of night. The bull jackhammered the boy's ass in a rapid and powerful fuck that would turn a even experienced slave to jelly. The human's sobbing moans and sharp crys lasted for a bit before he became quiet as he finally surrendered and accepted the fucking passively; a man brought to the point of just laying still, keeping his legs apart and letting the bull fuck him. His face was blank, his eyes closed, he was just waiting for the bull to finish.
After a minute or two of quiet gasps, a different moan sounded from the human… pleasure. A confusing feeling grew in the human, his eyes opened and he looked confused at the bull before him.The bull now held a slower steady pace, until the man, though his cock was locked in steel, moaned out long and low as he dribbled semen from the opening at the tip of the penis tube. The bull slid out of the man, both were exhausted, the human sobbed softly and seemed dazed. The bull took a moment to compose himself, but then turned and released the human's cuffs, careful propping up the trembling and weak figure. Taking the blanket from earlier he wrapped the man, and picked him up, hefting him like a sack over his shoulder, ass up and first, face and arms hanging down the bull’s back, out of the ring to cheers and stomping of the witnesses. Snow was falling now, The bull would cary his new slave off to bed to 'keep the slave warm' after the long nude ritual.
