>>9923120The woman who would eventually become Matrona was born some 30.000 years ago into a tribe of Kozaki (fictional people from the Russian steppe in Robert Howard’s Hyborian stories) raiders.
Her people were wiped out by a rival tribe when she was just a girl and she was sold to a group of Stygian spaghetti cultists.
By day she toiled away in temples devoted to abominable eldritch gods and by night she spilled the blood of her fellow slaves as a gladiatrix for the pleasure of her depraved Stygian masters.
Eventually she and a number of other talented gladiatrices was taken across the sea to pre-Colombian America.
She was marched for many days across a treacherous land filled with ravenous beasts and bands of savage men even more primitive than her own tribe, most of her companions died horrifically during the journey.
In time the Stygian spaghetti cultists and their captives arrived at their final destination, a cyclopean city inhabited by pasta-esque abominations from an before man’s ancestors had descended from the trees.
The pasta-monster’s culture seemed to center around combat sports and at the city’s center was a massive arena where women were made to fight every night, Matrona was made to fight for her life over and over and over again.
