Flame Dance

"Surely it is better to have a true man on any terms than to have half a man or no man at all! Men are masters; if the man be strong, the woman must submit. Given the opportunity to relate to a true man, few woman will settle for less. Indeed, true women, in the belly of them, desire to submit to true men. It is an ancient instinct bred into the bellies of beautiful, feminine women."
John Norman, Slave Girl of Gor, p. 154

"Romantic love, in pornography as in life, is the mythic celebration of female negation. For a woman, love is defined as her willingness to submit to her own annihilation.... The proof of love is that she is willing to be destroyed by the one whom she loves, for his sake. For the woman, love is always self-sacrifice, the sacrifice of identity, will, and bodily integrity, in order to fulfill and redeem the masculinity of her lover."
Andrea Dworkin

In Gor, a slave's need to serve is said to come from her belly. This need is likened to a fire burning in the belly of the slave; a question this one commonly asks new girls who are in doubt as to whether they belong in Gor is, "Does your belly burn?"

The tradition of dancing with a fire, a candle, or a candelabra, is a very old one on Earth. There are references to such dances being done in India, Morocco, Armenia, Egypt, and the Phillipines. The meaning of these dances varies from a procession leading the bride to her wedding, to warding off evil. arani chose to have the flame symbolize the fire burning in her belly to serve the Free.

{arani}CsA enters the room in a swirl of silk, long full skirt flowing to her ankles the color of a flame...bright yellow at her tiny waist then gradually changing to bright orange and red toward the hem, she wears a bra of the brightest red-orange covered with tiny gold beads that catch the torch-light as she moves, with gold beaded fringe hanging down to her taut belly...she enters on bare feet, carrying a small clay bowl in both hands.

{arani}CsA soars lightly about the perimeter of the room, lifting the bowl high to one side and then the other, her skirts billowing out around shapely legs as her fine golden mane floats about her slender shoulders, she pauses and gently lifts the bowl to the top of her head--careful not to spill any of the precious liquid inside--she continues her airy movements about the room, then pauses in the center to spin gaily, skirts rising to reveal slender muscular legs.

{arani>CsA stops her spinning, she takes a deep breath and moves lightly to a torch on the wall, she takes a slender reed from its hiding place in her bra, lifts the reed to the torch until it catches fire, then lifts it to the bowl above her head and holds her breath as the oil in the bowl ignites, slender fingers of flame extending above her head, she purses full ruby lips to blow out the burning reed, moves once again around the room, stepping gingerly so she doesn't disturb the flame.

{arani>CsA takes dainty steps to the hearth, the fire burning there not matching the smoldering in her own belly, she keeps her head still so the flame remains steady, she reaches up to a shelf and grasps two slender candles, taking one in each hand she steps back from the hearth and lifts one candle to the flame atop her head and lights it, she holds it before her face as the tiny flame dances before her, then stretches out her arm and balances the candle on the flat of her palm.

{arani}CsA holds her breath as she lifts the other candle to the burning bowl, as it ignites she slowly stretches out that arm and turns her palm to the sky, balancing the candle delicately...she remains in place for several moments as she balances the candles, carefully regulating each breath she takes so the flame does her no harm, she then turns back to the room and begins her circuit once more.

{arani}CsA becomes more confident, moves once again to the center of the room and spins in place, her flame-colored skirt flaring out and echoing the tongues of flame on her head and palms, she breathes a little faster now and casts smoldering eyes around the room, she flashes a brilliant smile as pearly teeth reflect the light from the fire, pale cheeks flush with exertion.

{arani}CsA spins faster and faster, candles balanced precariously on her open palms, she gradually slows her movements until she is standing quiet again, pear-shaped orbs rising and falling as she catches her breath, she slowly brings one candle before ruby lips and blows gently to extinguish the flame, she then brings the other candle close and blows it out as well, she holds her hands to her sides as she moves about the perimeter of the room again, the flame rising high above her golden mane.

{arani}CsA lifts slender arms high and gently removes the bowl from her head, she draws it down and cradles it to her taut belly, then sinks to her knees, she lifts the bowl again in an entrancing pattern of flame, then presses it to her flushed cheek for a moment and then her collar before returning it to her belly.

{arani}CsA lifts the bowl above her head once more, sinks forward so that her heaving breasts are pressed to the floor, she pushes the bowl out before her as her forehead kisses the stones, she trembles softly as she offers to the Free the flame that represents the inferno that is her own belly, closes her eyes blissfully in the knowledge of her slavery as her dance is completed.
