Chapter 2
The galanfetzcan hunter Gaoveel and Availon always slept together and seemed quite chaste to the femehans since they did not have sex while the femehans were in their company. The femehans, then again, had sex with each other quite freely, regardless of the galanfetzcans. They did have some issues, though, since they had along them one geniwacod, four nicods and one fairly inert gecod. No one really wanted to have sex with Tarkavinel, and ey did not seem to want to have sex at all. The two nicod ex-soldiers sometimes had sex with em, but Tarkavinel never seemed to particularly want or enjoy it—ey expressed eir unwillingness by attempting to shove them off but not really trying to and then lay quietly while they did what they wanted. The geniwacod, then again, was the far-walker, and it was usually creepy for other-walkers to have sex with a far-walker.
Availon was initially quite worried about Tarkavinel since ey seemed to dislike having sex in the first place and no one seemed to pay attention to contraception—
They had two four-person tents to sleep in. One night, Availon, Gaoveel, Tarkavinel and one nicod called Karerrun were sleeping in the same tent, and Karerrun had just finished having sex with Tarkavinel and settled to sleep. Tarkavinel seemed annoyed above anything and was pulling on eir clothes. Ey had a lean, badly scarred body and eir right ear had been cut off a long time ago.
"Tarkavinel?" asked Availon, in common Gomanian. Ey wanted to speak to the gecod mentally, but Tarkavinel sometimes had trouble registering even harmless mental messages and could never reply to them. Tarkavinel lifted eir head and looked at Availon, but did not reply. "Are you alright?" Tarkavinel looked at Availon for a moment without speaking. In time, Availon spoke again: "You don't seem to enjoy ...that too much. Is there some reason why you let em do it?" Tarkavinel still did not reply and now ey also turned eir attention away from Availon. Ey fingered eir right breast a little and then pulled on a tight shirt.
Gaoveel joined the discussion: "Can't you just push em off or tell em that you don't want to do it?" Tarkavinel stayed quiet.
"Or you could tell us... or Plietti. We would make em stop. You don't have to feel bad." Tarkavinel pulled on the rest of eir clothes and still did not reply. "Karerrun can't hear what we're saying, ey's asleep. Why do you let em do it? Aren't you afraid of becoming pregnant? We can't afford that now." The gecod stayed silent. "Please, reply something..."
Tarkavinel was still quiet for a long time but eventually replied: "Don't have anything to say."
"But, but... why do you let em do it? What if you become pregnant?" Tarkavinel was quiet again. "You frustrate me. Why won't you reply?" After a long moment of silence, Tarkavinel lay down next to the nicod. The galanfetzcans sighed frustratingly and gave up.
Tarkavinel said one more thing, however: "I won't get pregnant."
Availon sat up abruptly and went: "What? Why? You don't use any contraception.
Chapter 3
Tegafel was sleeping in the bed of the other geniwacod, Fairani, since ey had said ey would be elsewhere that night. Fairani came back, however, and instead of asking Tegafel to climb to eir own bed, ey just climbed on top of the wacod. Of course Tegafel woke up in the process.
"Uhhmm... hey... what? Hey!" ey whispered.
Fairani smiled. "Hi."
"Uh..." Tegafel stared at the person on top of em. "...Do you want me to move now?"
"Heh, not really. I'd have waken you up for that." Tegafel was quiet, and Fairani thought that the absence of "no" meant "yes," therefore attempting a kiss. Tegafel turned eir face away. "What's wrong? Don't you like me?"
"I don't like this activity."
"What? But it feels good! And it's not like we'd be condemned for it or something."
"I don't want to get pregnant."
"That's why I have condoms. See?" Fairani produced a proto-condom to show.
Tegafel frowned. "But I don't... I just don't want to."
"Have you ever even tried?"
"No."
"How can you know then?"
"I can't, but I doubt it would feel good if I got to it with this attitude. Now please get off me. I'll go to my own hammock."
Fairani saw that ey was about to be brushed off and ey wanted to get at least something out of lying on top of Tegafel, but the last thing ey wanted was to wake up the whole squad because of the issue, and it was better if Tegafel would still like em even somewhat, too. "Well... How about just one kiss, then? Just a small one."
Now Tegafel was quiet. Fairani was fairly literally lying on top of em—the design of the general hammock meant that eir back was bent, but that did not seem to be bothering the geniwacod. Eir arms were outstretched beside Tegafel's head and Tegafel was doing eir best not to try shoving em off since that would probably lead to both of them dropping on the floor. Tegafel did see the small kiss as a quick way to get the situation over, so ey replied, obviously with slight reluctance: "Ehm, fine then."
Fairani smiled and pressed eir mouth against Tegafel's. Tegafel did not do anything, but ey thought that it was a medium kiss and not a small one. After it was done, Fairani lifted eir head but did not get off. Tegafel felt something pressing against eir crotch and then just tried to forget it.
"Will you get off, please?" Fairani got off then, and Tegafel followed, climbing up to eir own bed. Ey settled in the hammock and lay quietly with eir eyes open, somewhat shocked over what had happened. Ey listened to Fairani breathe, and as soon as ey thought the geniwacod had fallen asleep, ey heard eir voice:
"Tegafel... I'm sorry if you wished that would not have happened." They both fell asleep some time after that.
The first half of the next day was free time, so they woke up lazily and many stayed inside for some time. However, once they noticed that the day would get very warm, people started going outside. As usual, Nehinou, the other geniwacod, did some whoring for a small price, and the nicods and nigecods were pretty happy and content with that. Especially those who had previously been in all-ni(ge)cod squads were having fun—they were nearly always saying stuff about how they had to play around with each other, which always caused instant yuks.
Instead of whoring, Fairani tried paying attention to Tegafel. "Would you like it if I just held you? Or petted?" Tegafel was quiet. Ey did not really know what to say—back in Ailanihi ey probably would have told such people to go screw themselves, but here ey would not rather do that, even if just to preserve good relations. Tegafel was standing by a window with Fairani behind em.
"I'd rather not..."
"How come? Have you had some sexual traumas when you were small or do you dislike touch? Or are you just scared?"
"No. I'd rather not talk about that."
Fairani was quiet for a moment. "Then... why couldn't I touch you a little?"
"I'd just rather not."
"Could I just pet your back?" Tegafel did not reply anymore. Ey was annoyed and wanted to go outside. Fairani, however, again interpreted the silence as an affirmative and started stroking Tegafel's back lightly. Tegafel felt uneasy, but did not make em stop or move away for now. Fairani grinned and started gradually getting more physical, but not going to extremes. Tegafel did not really notice anything.
After some time Tegafel thought ey would finally go outside. Ey gave Fairani an indifferent glance and moved away. Fairani was fairly turned on, but Tegafel did not notice that. Fairani moved on to whoring then, while Tegafel went outside and walked around a bit, spotting a figure far away near to the edge of the forest. Ey had seen the figure from the window as well, but nothing much was distinguishabl
Chapter 4
[Note: Tegafel is not underaged.]
It was another bunch of days for free time. This time it was a bit longer, and some who were from around Ailanihi went home to visit old friends and family. Tegafel, however, did not. Instead, the sergeant came to the barrack one evening and took Tegafel with em. Fairani had a slightly concerned expression on eir face, even though the others were smiling or grinning. Tegafel thought that it meant bad.
Neret took Tegafel to the sergeants' lodge and in there to a smaller room that had just a bed and some closets—it looked a bit like a room where ill people were taken to be healed. Neret closed the door and grabbed Tegafel's shoulders lightly, after which ey hugged em. Tegafel got quite uneasy.
"Uh, soni? What's going on?"
Neret stroked Tegafel's arms and nuzzled eir hair. "Hm, I thought that was obvious. I want to sleep with you. Take your clothes off."
Tegafel startled badly. "But uh... uh... I... I can't... I won't. I don't want to..."
"What, you don't want to feel pleasure? Nonsense! Now take off your clothes!"
"But I..."
"Silence, soldier! Clothes off!"
Tegafel sobbed and started shaking. Ey took off eir clothes slowly while thinking that now it would finally happen. Ey started wondering whether it had been such a good idea to come to the army after all, that the townsfolk might have been a bit more friendly. Ey remembered eir alhem then and how ey had told Tegafel to submit to someone's will when finding a partner or having sex, and figured that this was a similar case with the exception that ey was truly commanded to do it. Maybe this was better after all, since ey was just obeying and ey had no choice in it. That did not make the idea of raping any better, but perhaps it would be easier to accept.
Tegafel lay down on the bed and rested there, tensed, tearful and worried. Ey was always afraid of becoming pregnant. After a short moment, Neret came next to the bed and looked down at Tegafel. Ey was now naked as well. Ey settled emself on top of Tegafel and stared down at the wacod's face. Tegafel looked very worried and still shivered.
"W-will I become pregnant?" ey asked shakily.
"No, I have a condom. Don't be such a coward, you'll become pregnant some day anyway."
"I don't want to! I hate kids!" Tegafel squeezed eir eyes shut and grimaced, forcing a few tears out of eir eyes.
"Is that the only reason why you're such a prude with the other soldiers, eh?"
Tegafel turned eir face away and tried to keep emself from crying out loud. "I... I... it's my body..."
"Hmph. Turn your face this way." After Tegafel had done that, Neret pressed eir mouth against Tegafel's and kissed em. Tegafel felt terrible and shook even more. Ey had to break away from it because ey could not breathe through eir nose much, since the tears had gone up there as well. Ey sniffed and some more tears fell down eir face as ey tired to turn it away somehow without breaking the direct order of turning eir face Neret's way. Neret was slightly hesitant. "...Open up your legs now."
Tegafel did as ey was told. "Will it... hurt?"
"Hurt? Why would it hurt?" Neret pressed eir genitals against Tegafel's soft crotch and Tegafel startled again and whimpered.
"Aih! I-I've heard that it hurts... at least the first time... uhmgh..." Tegafel wriggled a bit, trying to somehow get away from Neret's genitals and failing miserably.
"What? Are you serious? This is your first time?"
"Y-yeah..."
"Don't you wacods usually have sex the first day you hit teenage?"
"I've never... met other wacods... I-I don't know... I didn't want to... I-I hated the way my alhem t-tried... to make me have sex," mumbled Tegafel. Ey was shaking pretty badly now and ey had some serious trouble keeping eir crying in control. Ey wanted to cry out and let it out of eir ribcage, but ey was scared of what Neret would do if ey wept. One should not weep in the army.
Neret, however, did not do anything for a while. Ey just stared at Tegafel's teary eyes and felt the sobs and whimpers being suppressed down in eir lungs. Eventually ey said: "You know, screw this. I'm not going to rape a little kid virgin because of this. Even I'm not that indecent." Neret got off of Tegafel and instead lay next to em, wrapping em up in the cover and hugging the little shaking body.
Tegafel was in shock, but got somewhat integrated in a few minutes. During that time, Neret only hugged em and stroked eir shoulders very lightly. "Well, maybe you just lost all trust you had toward me. That's not good, but I suppose I can't blame you. You probably hate me now, too. Do you want one of the other sergeants to come here to comfort you or take you back to the barracks?" Tegafel could not speak then. "Or maybe I'll just hold you for a bit more then."
Several more minutes went by. Tegafel's breathing got calm and regular again and ey started getting responsive. Neret noticed it and moved a bit closer to Tegafel, placing eir other hand on Tegafel's head now. "Listen, I'm really sorry about this. I honestly wouldn't have even tried if I'd known that... you really don't do this stuff." Tegafel managed a somewhat shaky nod before breathing a sigh of relief. It took a few minutes and ey finally fell asleep. Neret was unsure of what to do, but eventually just decided to stay where ey was. Ey would get to literally sleep with Tegafel anyway.
In the morning Neret woke up first, to see a cute wrapped up Tegafel sleeping. Ey was not exactly proud of emself right then, got up, pulled on eir clothes and went to the sergeants' lodge. Two of the other sergeants were up already, and they asked em:
"Had good sex with the wacod, eh?"
"Seriously, that was one of the worst things ever I went through."
"Oh? How so?" asked the gewacod.
"The kid's never had sex before and ey cried so much I just couldn't do it to em."
"Doesn't that prove your moral compass is still working at least a bit?"
"Ey cried eh?" said the other sergeant, a nicod. "What a cowardly crybaby! A nearly adult wacod who hasn't had sex! You should've popped that little thing."
"Shut up. That's exactly the kind of stupid thing you'd expect from a nicod like you," the gewacod went on. "Is the kid okay?"
"Ey cried and didn't talk much after that. Ey fell asleep so I didn't bother doing anything else except the same. Ey's still sleeping there."
"Want me to handle that?"
"Hm... I don't know... I suppose it'd fix up the kid a little if ey saw me being nice to em again."
"Yeah."
Neret drank a bit and went back to the room where Tegafel was. Ey sat on the bed and watched the wacod until ey woke up. Of course Tegafel had managed to totally wrap emself up in the cover by then.
"Are you alright?" asked Neret while touching Tegafel's shoulder.
"I... I suppose."
"And I'm sorry. I won't do it again. ...Unless of course you want to," ey added with a smile. Tegafel replied with a slightly uneasy smile-like thing and started unwrapping emself from the cover. Having done that, ey lay on eir stomach on the bed for a while. "Anything you'd want me to do to make you feel better? ...I heard you like stroking on your back or something, would you like that?"
"Y-yeah... stroking and rubbing..."
"I'm good at that. Just lie there." Neret rubbed and stroked Tegafel's back and shoulders for a while and Tegafel got fairly euphoric. "Feel better now?"
"Mmmmm... Yeah..."
"Maybe you should go and eat now. Still have a few free days." Tegafel started getting up and Neret handed eir clothes to em. "I can go outside if you'd rather dress up alone."
"Well, you've already seen me naked plenty of times," said Tegafel, trying to sound carefree but not really managing in that. Neret petted eir hair a bit and then got up and turned. Tegafel dressed up and Neret took em outside.
Tegafel walked around a bit and eventually went to eat. As usual, ey ended up eating with some people from eir squad and they started bombarding em with inquiries.
"So, how'd you like Neret? Is ey really as harsh as Nehinou claims?" asked Poretel.
Nehinou exclaimed: "I'm telling you, ey has a dick the width of my wrist and longer than your span. It's INVASIVE."
"What? It's bigger than mine?"
"By far."
"You're a gzoozzing liar!"
"Am not!"
"Shut up," said Julta.
Fairani still looked a bit concerned. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah... I guess," replied Tegafel. Ey did not want to speak of what had happened.
"So mind telling us just how invasive eir little dickie is?"
"It was huge, right?" added Nehinou.
"I suppose," said Tegafel.
"You suppose? How can you not feel that log inside your crotch?" said Nehinou with an amusedly stupefied face. Eir grin disappeared, though. "Unless ey... didn't do it."
"...So Neret didn't screw you?" Julta went.
"Uh, no... but it was close."
Fairani looked slightly surprised. "How'd you avoid it?" Tegafel looked at eir food and did not say anything. Ey continued eating. "Tegafel?"
"I'd rather not talk about that."
The others were a bit quiet after that, and when they started talking and asking again, Fairani told them to leave Tegafel alone. Tegafel finished eating and Fairani came along with em. They walked around a bit without talking, but eventually Fairani just got too curious.
"Would you tell me what happened with Neret?"
"Mhm." Tegafel thought about it for a bit—the only downside in telling about it was loss of face and credibility because ey had cried, and though Tegafel really could not have cared less about it, the others thought it important. A soldier did not cry. Preferably even when tortured, but it was allowed then. Tegafel thought that maybe it could be seen as torture. "I cried..."
"...That's all? Nehinou cried too, but that didn't help."
"Well, ey saw that I was shocked and believed that I hadn't done it before."
"Really?" Fairani seemed to be contemplating a great deal for a while. After a moment ey took a light and hesitant hold of Tegafel's shoulder and turned the wacod to face emself. What happened after that was quick and half-violent: Tegafel ended up lying on the ground with Fairani on top of em, the geniwacod pressing eir crotch against Tegafel's. Tegafel's face immediately twisted into crying mode and ey was completely tensed and still for a whole of two seconds before ey started whimpering and shoving and pushing the geniwacod off of emself. Fairani got off and sat still a meter away while Tegafel curled up into a ball and started sobbing.
"How could you! I thought you... were my friend!" cried Tegafel, shaking again. Fairani looked somewhat helpless and nervous. Ey did not know what to do. "How could you... how could you... how could you..."
"I... I'm sorry." Fairani moved closer to touch Tegafel's shoulders, but the wacod just flinched and sat up in a defending position. Fairani hesitated and did not know whether ey should try again.
"Why did you do that?" asked Tegafel between sobs.
"I... it was a test. I wanted to see what Neret felt."
"A test?! You did that because you wanted to test me?!"
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have."
"Stay away from me! I don't want to be near you anymore!"
"I will never do it again! I will never touch you again unless you want me to!" Tegafel sobbed. "Now I know why Neret backed off, though. If you ever want to know, ask me." Another moment went with Tegafel sobbing and Fairani trying to come up with anything nice to say to em. "Tegafel, I promise I will never do that again. You can ask me for anything and I'll do it. I'll rub your shoulders and stroke your back." Tegafel just shivered and did not reply. Fairani was getting a bit desperate. Ey lay down on the ground, sprawled eir limbs and spoke quietly: "I'll lie here an' you can do whatever you want to punish me. I won't report it to anyone or anything. Just do what you want... beat me with a stick or something..."
Tegafel huddled on the ground for yet another long moment while Fairani lay on the ground, waiting for something to happen. Eventually Tegafel got up, and Fairani followed em with eir eyes, seeing what ey was doing. It seemed Tegafel was looking for a stick. Fairani turned eir face upward and wondered whether this was such a good idea after all. Ey saw Tegafel walk near em, carrying a broken branch about as thick as eir upper arm. Fairani closed eir eyes and grimaced, trying not to tense eir body too much, but that did not really succeed.
Tegafel knelt beside the geniwacod and swung the branch at eir ribcage. It struck em with a fairly sharp thump, smacking em across the chest and the misplaced tip making scratches on eir face. Fairani whimpered and twitched. Tegafel swung the branch again and this time hit em squarely on the chest. This time it made a bit of a cracking sound, and Fairani had tried to lift eir arm so the sharp splinters at the tip tore eir skin fairly badly on eir arm.
Throwing the branch away now, Tegafel turned around and flopped sitting on the ground. Fairani got slowly up and groaned very slightly with the pain. Ey stared at Tagefel's back for a moment, thinking whether to walk away or try to talk some more. Ey then compromised that and slowly walked behind Tegafel, touching eir neck. Tegafel startled, but did not withdraw, so Fairani spent some time rubbing and stroking eir back.
Eventually Fairani spoke again, softly and quietly: "It's because you react like a child. The people here may be overenthusiast
"Are you alright?" asked Tegafel, sounding a bit sobby.
"Yeah," lied Fairani. Ey lied some more: "Well, my arm has little tiny wound but nothing else."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. I asked you to. I'm sorry." Fairani still petted Tegafel a bit, but got up after a while—the bleeding and pain in eir arm was not getting any better and eir ribcage was hurting more than ey thought it should. "I'll leave now. I hope you'll start feeling better... and forgive me." Fairani walked away.
Chapter 6
[Note: They just had sex.]
"You know, I've really come a long way since I joined the army... and it wasn't even that long ago!"
Roinynin smiled and petted Tegafel's hair. "I'd be more amazed if you didn't."
"Even just considering, well, this stuff." Tegafel wiggled a bit against Roinynin. "I had no idea that having sex could feel so good. I never really thought why people would do it, other than to have kids."
"Didn't notice that nice chafin' even, when you were excited?"
"I hadn't been that excited! I was always discouraged when I felt like it because I became afraid of getting pregnant... Mhm... do you... do you remember Krezagon? That ancod who —"
"Yeah. Hard to forget, I'd never seen one before."
"I was just thinking... that ey was so safe. Ey was like the perfect friend for me at the time. I mean, I could go to em an' be with em without having to fear that ey'd try to rape me or even try to have sex! And, do you remember when I told about how Neret tried to have sex with me and then Fairani did that... An' I went to Krezagon an' ey let me cry and then held me an' let me kiss em."
Roinynin stroked Tegafel's back. "I could've used a friend like that when I was your age."
"Yeah." Tegafel smiled, remembering the few stories Roinynin had told about eir first months in the army. "I really admired em you know. Ey did eir job there well, even though ey didn't train with the others or spend time with them. Ey was so good with bows... and woodwork, you should've seen em do that. I didn't pity em then because I thought it would've been great to have my own tent and not bother with the others. But after I got to know you, I figured what ey's missing..."
"Well, ey's an ancod. I doubt ey even realizes what ey's missin'."
"Well, I know ey was missing a friend. Ey was so happy when I spent time with em. I wish I hadn't forgotten em when you came... Actually, ey might've been allowed to join with our squad, I wonder why ey didn't?"
"...Heh, see how long it took for you t' figure that! Prob'ly ey thought of it too late too."
"Ehheh. I hope we'll get to go back. I'm sure ey'd like to hear about you too." Roinynin smiled a bit uneasily. Tegafel did not notice any uneasiness. "I feel so sorry for em now... ey can't ever know how good it feels to have an orgasm. Or even just excitement. Can ey?"
"Heh, no. Ancods are sexless, they can't feel anythin' there. Yeah, poor thing... I wonder what keeps em goin'..."
Tegafel coughed. "Well um, even feeling excitement isn't all there is to life..."
Roinynin grinned. "Oh yeah. Oh-huh, a bit silly t' forget, I mean, I came to the army to get away from it in a way." Roinynin wriggled. "Ehehem. silly-y-y..."
Tegafel grinned back. "At least ey liked kissing. Ey was pretty good at it, too, I think."
"Better than me, eh?"
"Heh, I don't know. You're good too. But you're different, too."
"Y'know, I can't imagine not feelin' sexual excitement. How's it like?"
"How should I know?"
"Wonder if that Krezagon would mind if we asked em when we got back."
"Heh, I... I'm not sure really. But maybe ey'd just say that ey can't imagine feeling it so ey won't know how to explain it either."
"Right! Hee hee!"
They continued fingering each other until they fell asleep.
Chapter 7
"This one'll live for a bit. Lift em." Tegafel was lifted to stand upwards. Ey felt very dizzy and would have fallen if the two homehans had not been holding onto eir arms. "Strip em." The two homehans and one other started pulling Tegafel's equipment off of em, piling it all on one place. "What the... what kind of freak is this thing?" No one replied. After a moment the leader-seeming figure continued: "...Put em in the cage." Tegafel was dragged and thrown into the cage, which was fairly small and dirty. Tegafel still felt like fainting, so now that ey was momentarily left alone, ey did just that.
Tegafel woke up later. The wagon in which eir cage was moved along the terrain. The forest was less thick and there actually was enough space to maneuver a fairly narrow wagon as the one ey was in. Eir arms, shoulders, right thigh and lower legs ached from the wounds and eir muscles were getting sore. Ey felt miserable and just lay there, moving slowly to look at the wounds on eir arms and particularly the one on eir thigh, since it was so big. It would get infected. Ey would probably limp for the rest of eir life if the leg healed at all. However, no matter how much that worried em, ey was still exhausted. Ey looked around a bit and saw a smallish homehan sitting next to the cage, in front of em. Ey heard another walking behind em. Some animal was pulling the wagon and it sounded like there was someone driving. Tegafel stared at the homehan for a while, and eventually the homehan turned.
"Hey, ey's awake," ey said. Tegafel felt like demonstrating eir liveliness, but moving hurt too much. Ey did turn eir head though, and looked around, not seeing much new. There were some homehans following them and some walking before them. Many seemed to be in bad condition and there were no bodies along, so everyone who was killed was left wherever they had been. "What are you?"
"...What? Um... I'm a femehan... Was my... my squad killed?"
The homehan looked a bit put off, but seemed to be glad when Tegafel asked about the other femehans. "They sure were. Lousy scum an' freaks on top o' that."
By now Tegafel had learned better than to question people who had an edge over em, so ey was quiet. The homehan was somewhat amused, though, so ey took a spear, shoved it between the bars of the cage and started poking Tegafel. First Tegafel thought ey should just not care, but quickly went through the procedure in eir mind. If ey would try to ignore it, the homehan would just keep coming harder at em, and even if Tegafel after that gave in and showed signs of being aggravated, the homehan might want to get more of it and start poking with a sword. Therefore, Tegafel started to display irritation fairly soon, trying to do eir best to keep the homehan entertained enough while not inviting more pain.
The homehan managed to prod Tegafel's huge wound on eir thigh, though, which hurt terribly and Tegafel screamed. It startled a few homehans and while they went through a quick covering about what had been going on, Tegafel clutched eir thigh.
The days went by and Tegafel barely got any food or chances to go relieve emself. Ey spent the days crying and mourning over eir fallen friends and trying to overcome the nightmares ey had about them. Ey tried to forget it and focused eir efforts on trying to clean up eir wounds by licking—which greatly amused the homehans since Tegafel was able to lick the huge wound on eir own thigh.
The homehans pretty much just mistreated em and did not ask too much questions, save for inquiries about whether they were being followed. Tegafel could not really know and the homehans did not like that. They kept poking and prodding em and even cut a few small wounds on em. Ey was very grateful of the pouring rain that came down a day before they reached the homehan settlement, since it allowed em to clean up eir wounds a bit more thoroughly. Eir leg was well on its way to being infected, but Tegafel thought that the cleaning helped to prevent it a bit. That did not change the fact that most of eir wounds badly needed stitches.
The night they arrived at the homehan settlement, Tegafel was thrown in a smallish windowless room that served as a prison cell. It was not much, but at least there was some hay and a blanket, so Tegafel could actually get a relatively comfortable night of sleep—though ey tore a bit of the blanket to tie up the wound on eir leg.
In the morning, some homehans came in, tied em to a chair and started interrogating em. They asked questions about how near the closest cities were, why there had been a fight in the first place and how many armed and trained forces there were around. Tegafel of course knew very little since ey was not from around here and ey still had not been told much about the army camps around the area. The homehans were not pleased, so they tortured Tegafel a bit, mostly by tearing open the wounds on eir face and arms. Tegafel was in pain and terrified, and thus tried to come up with something that would please the homehans so that they would just leave em alone.
The next day ey was left alone for the most part. The guards, however, started getting a bit more interested and came in to peek at em. Eventually they started talking as well.
"Hey, femehan."
Tegafel was trying to clean up the wound on eir face but looked up almost instantly, since no one had talked to em that day yet.
The other guard continued: "We're talking with the other guards about what you are, but no one can tell. So what are you? Some kind a' deformed pervert or something?"
"...What? Why do you think that?" Tegafel managed to mumble.
The guards snickered. "So you think you're really normal or what?"
"What?"
They still snickered a bit. "Has yer cock been cut off or are you some freaky sick eicod or were you born deformed?"
"...What? I... I have a cock..."
"Doesn't look like that!" they laughed and pointed at Tegafel's crotch.
"It's just not showing..."
"Not showing? What the gzoozz?"
"...Do your cocks all show then?" Tegafel glared at the other guard's crotch since it was not covered by loose clothing and it indeed seemed like eir genitals were just hanging there. Tegafel knew that nicods could go either way, either their goninjin was retractable or it just hung outside. Even wacods sometimes had unretractable genitals, but that was rare and Tegafel did not know that. Apparently these all had their genitals outside.
The guards laughed. "That's freaky! An inside cock! How does it come out then? Do you pull it out or does it just swell?"
"Uh... I guess it swells..."
"You must have trouble telling yer eicods from iocods!" the guards roared.
Tegafel could not quite place the words they used. They sounded like old words for some sexes, but it did not make much sense. Tegafel thought to ask what they meant, but figured that would just get em beaten. So ey just looked down.
"You femehans sure are weird. In the battlefield I saw a whole bunch of you an' there were a lot of different colored ones. Why do you come in so different colors? The few bluish ones sounded like eicods!"
Tegafel eyed the homehans and noticed that they were the same color—actually everyone ey had seen had been approximately the same color: fairly tanned with dark brown hair and lots of fur. Ey would have wanted to stay quiet, but thought that the guards would just keep on asking, so ey said: "How do you tell your sexes apart then?"
"What?" the other guard shouted. "So you tell 'em apart by skin color eh? Well, heh heh... I suppose that's one way. So your iocods are brown, right, an' eicods blue? ...Wait a minute. You're gray."
Tegafel felt a bit cornered. Ey was still unsure what they meant and did not want to display eir ignorance by asking. Ey was sure that they would not approve of wacods in the army either. However, ey thought that they would find out the inconvenient way unless ey told them, so ey went: "That's because I'm a wacod."
"A what-cod?"
Tegafel looked up, and all three of them looked confused. "A... a wacod..."
"Well 'wacod' doesn't sound like anything!"
"You don't have wacods at all?"
"Well if wacod means an iocod with a retractable cock, gzoozz no!"
"Uh..." Tegafel was very hesitant to speak since ey was in fear of getting beaten or slashed again.
"What? Speak up, little freak."
Tegafel gave a short glare at the guards but dropped it soon. Ey did not want to aggravate them. "You've just been talking about iocods and eicods... is that all you have? Two sexes?"
Now the guards were silent. "...What else?" Tegafel stared at the guards and was quiet. "What else? Do you have MORE sexes?" the other guard went, emitting a mixture of curiosity and hostility.
"We... Fourteen..."
"FOURTEEN?!" Tegafel startled a bit and looked down. Ey was scared. "What for do you have FOURTEEN sexes?"
Tegafel wanted to stop talking. "How come you have two?"
"What the groshje. What do you do with all those sexes anyway? Where's the point in that?"
"I don't know... I don't know why we need sexes at all. Garandals and galanfetzcans get along great without having any..."
"Garandals? Galanfetzcans? You just made that up."
Tegafel glanced at the guards again, and they looked truly confused. They had not heard about garandals or galanfetzcans. "No, I... I've seen a galanfetzcan before. They're pretty... they're rather small and have long ears and lavender skin..."
"You've drunk too much shish. I've never seen anything like that."
"...Garandals are even smaller and red-skinned... I hear they live in the mountains but I've never seen one..."
"You're just trying to groshje us aren't you? Tell us about those freaking fourteen sexes of yours instead!"
"I'm not... uh," went Tegafel, but then figured ey should better just do as they told. "Well, gecods have black skin and straight hair... they have breasts and they can get pregnant if they have sex with someone that produces sperm. Gewacods have dark blue skin and straight hair and they can get pregnant too. —"
"So those blue-skinned ones in the battlefield were 'gewacods'? That means eicod, right?"
"I... I'm not sure what eicod means. We don't use that word..."
The guards laughed again. "We're iocods. We have cocks and we screw eicods. Eicods have breasts and a pussy and they give birth to babies."
"Uh... by that eicods sound like they'd be like gecods. There um... there weren't any gecods in our squad... they aren't allowed in the army."
"So what makes them different from the blue-skinned ones?"
"The blue-skinned ones are gewacods... they don't have breasts. They're stronger and have a great mind for strategy, I guess that's why they're allowed in the army or something."
"So 'gecods' are like eicods and 'gewacods' are strong breastless eicods?"
"I guess."
"Okay, so that's two sexes down. This is damn freaky, I'm telling you! How about the rest?" The guards seemed fascinated and amused.
"Uh... okay, wagecods have dark blue skin but they're pretty grayish... I suppose a bit like me but bluer. They can have breasts but not necessarily and they can give birth an' transfer babies ."
"What the heck does that mean?"
"I... um... well, transferrer is like... they can have sex with someone who produces sperm an' then they can transfer the babies that resulted from the sex to a carrier."
"That's so damn freaky!" Tegafel looked down and was quiet. "Well go on! That's three down!"
"Uh... annicods have dark gray skin and they're just transferrers. They don't have breasts. ...Then there's genicods, they're dark brown an' just transferrers too but they have breasts. Niwacods are transferrers too an' dark gray, but they also produce sperm so they can have kids with gewacods or wacods for example. —"
"You said you're a wacod, right? What do you do?"
"I uh... wacods produce sperm and we get pregnant."
"That's like..." The guards looked at each other. "An inemcod?"
"No way!"
"But see, if they have fourteen sexes, they gotta have them!" Tegafel was very uneasy. "Well, go on! That was like, what? Six down? Six to go!"
"Mhm... Well, nicods just produce sperm. I guess they're like you, they have brown skin too. Nigecods are more gray and they produce sperm and have breasts—"
"What? Iocods with breasts? Ew! That's just sick!" Now Tegafel just shut up and looked away. "Well, go on! What?"
"I'm not going to speak if you just interrupt me and say it's sick. I think YOUR stupid two sexes are sick!"
The other guard immediately took a few steps toward Tegafel, ending up next to em, and smacked em with a small club. "Why don't you talk when I tell you to, you prosht!?"
Tegafel squirmed a bit but then went on: "Then there's geniwacods... they have brown skin and they can do it all, they get pregnant an' can transfer an' produce sperm an' have breasts—"
"Wow, that's the sickest one this far! Ew!"
"Anwacods are dark gray too. They just carry babies if a transferrer gives them one. They might have breasts..."
"Wait... so those ones couldn't become pregnant if some normal iocod had sex with them?"
"No..."
"Wow, awesome! That's like a perfect whore!"
"Well, there's one more to go!" said the other guard.
"That's... the ancods... they have light skin and they... they don't do anything."
"So they're like... like... uh..."
"Kids, except grown up? Sort of?" added the other one.
"Uhm. I guess."
"Wow, that's gotta be useless."
Tegafel breathed slightly angrily. Ey still was not too glad about people calling ancods useless since one was eir friend, but probably more so because ey had been called useless because of not agreeing to have sex.
"It's damn freaky. ...Hey, you'd think... wanna take a peek?"
"At em? Heck yes."
Tegafel had no trouble guessing what they meant. Ey got up, figuring that they would have to fight em to get any look, but the two guards caught em quickly and held em still.
"No peeking eh? Wrong call." The other guard caught Tegafel's arms and then they pressed em down to the ground. Tegafel kept eir legs tightly together. "Now listen, you little freak," said the other guard and grabbed Tegafel's knees. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way. If you hurt us, we hurt you. An' that'll be a lot worse for you." Tegafel felt desperate, but could not see any easy way out of the oppressing situation, so ey did as was told, though obviously not willingly. Ey was not too far from starting to cry, either, but this far ey was able to keep it down. The homehan holding Tegafel's knees pulled eir legs apart. "Heh, one interesting smell, definitely. Much clearer now." The homehan poked around a bit and gently pulled on the hair to get it out of the way.
"So, how's it look like?"
"Kind a' weird. I think it's sort of like an eicod... but there are two nub-thingies here an' the cock's going to swell out somewhere here right?" the homehan looked at Tegafel, who managed a nod.
"Well then, make it come out!" The two guards still looked at Tegafel.
"M-mh... I can't uh... force it out."
"Well then, it'll swell out." Having said that, the homehan pressed eir thumb against the little nubs in Tegafel's crotch, making em startle.
"You... what're you..."
"I bet this'll just feel good to you, little freak." The homehan started rubbing Tegafel's crotch, and after a while, it did indeed feel vaguely good. Tegafel felt eir genitals swell, somewhat similarly to what had first happened when ey had spent a lot of time kissing Krezagon. It was slightly different and obviously more intensive on the physical level, close to what ey and Roinynin had often done to each other. Ey was still worried, however, and could not forget that ey was restrained and basically the living toy of two sadistic homehans.
"Well, well, look at that!" said the one holding Tegafel's arms. "Ey wasn't lying!" The other guard looked very amused and fingered the little bit of Tegafel's genitals that had swollen to protrude from eir crotch. "Hey, you hold em now. I want to look too."
"Fine. But hey, what's this other nub thing?"
"...It's... if I was a transferrer, I'd have a gowanjin there an' that would swell out."
"An' you said there was some sex who could do it all? They'd have two gzoozzing cocks AND a hole! Ha ha ha!"
"Ewww!" went the other one.
"Indeed! Gzoozz, even this is kinda disgusting! Come on now, let's move em." The homehans rose slightly and instead of moving themselves, they rather moved Tegafel. They made Tegafel step on eir hurt leg.
Closer toward the night, three homehans entered the cell. Among them were the two guards that had raped Tegafel yesterday, and an older one who seemed to be a leader figure. Tegafel could not tell if ey was supposed to be a lieutenant or a sergeant or some other rank. Tegafel raised eir head when they came in.
"Say hi to my cock," said the leader. Tegafel's face immediately twisted into crying mode, though ey was not about to cry quite yet. Ey tried to crawl away while the two guards caught em and lifted em up. "Turn around and bend." Tegafel just futilely tried to pull emself away.
"Sorry, soio, I don't think that'll work. We couldn't do it that way because of eir leg. Ey can't stay up."
"Well, isn't that unfortunate?" The leader grabbed Tegafel's crotch and squeezed it a bit. Tegafel tried to pull eir legs closer to prevent any advancement. "Hm. Can you lift eir legs up and hold em like that?"
The guard bent over and grabbed Tegafel by the backs of eir knees while keeping eir back against eir own stomach and lifted em. Tegafel's crotch was quite obscenely exposed, though for the moment Tegafel groaned because of the pain the lifting had caused on eir thigh.
"Yes, very nice. Hold em there." The leader glared at Tegafel's crotch for a bit, poking at it. Ey got bored soon enough, though, and therefore opened eir pants and screwed Tegafel as well. Tegafel wept.
After the leader was done, ey just mumbled something and left. The guard that had been holding Tegafel let go of em but did not just drop em, instead letting em fall softly on the ground. "Whuh, it's hard work holding em."
"You wanna screw em again too?"
"Heck yes. You?"
"No..."
"Huh? Why not."
"I kinda rather prefer eicods."
"Huh, ey has a nice eicod bit to take advantage of and you don't have to worry about getting accused of rape!"
"Well, I just don't think it's nice to see em cry either."
"Coward," the guard said at Tegafel. Turning back to the other guard, ey went: "Well, whatever. Hm... I feel kind of tired, I wonder what I could do to minimize work on this one..."
"Just have em lie on the ground?"
"Nah, that's too much." The guards thought about it for a while.
"Hmh, I can't think of anything good unless you make em do the work."
"Hey, that's a good idea!" The guard sat with eir back against a wall and pulled Tegafel to sit on eir lap so that they faced each other. "Now, little freak, please me." Ey fingered Tegafel's crotch a bit and put eir goninjin inside. "Now, move. Mmmhm." Ey put eir hands on Tegafel's hips and rubbed gently.
Tears fell down Tegafel's face and ey was barely staying upright. Ey looked down at the homehan's chest and tried to move, but ey could not use eir right leg to lift emself. Ey then moved eir hands on the homehan's shoulders and tried to use them to lift emself, but that did not work either. The homehan looked slightly confused. "What the heck now?"
"I uhm... my leg..."
"Well, move just your hips then?"
"Mhm... I... how?"
"However you think I can feel it?" Tegafel let the tears drop on eir own chest and held the homehan's shoulders while trying to move eir hips around. Ey could not do it on a very large scale, though, and it felt disgusting to em. "Ah, groshje. Just lie down." The homehan grabbed Tegafel by the ribcage and lay em on the ground. Having done that, ey just screwed the wacod until ey got what ey wanted.
Again, the guards just left Tegafel crying on the floor.
Chapter 9
After the first day, Krezagon had been considerably behind, and when ey caught up with the others, ey just flopped down on the ground and lay there, breathing and resting. The sergeant Derekl did not approve of that—straightf
"Lazying around. That's a good way to be in the army, Shynderfolter.
Krezagon startled and rolled on eir stomach. Eir whole body ached and ey just wanted to lie. "Mhmh..."
"Mumbling now?" The nicod got more aggravated by the second and ey just wanted any reason to start yelling. Ey kicked Krezagon again. "Get up, you worthless piece of meat! I'm not going to watch you lie around idling!" ey raged, and Krezagon got up. "You're a stupid, useless undeveloped BRAT! Now move and do some REAL work for a change! You're WASTE OF SPACE! Not to mention food!" The other team members eyed the screaming a bit, three of them snickering and grinning and two seeming a bit long-faced.
Krezagon got to work and started setting up the tents, then looked for firewood and finally set up the campfire. Ey was exhausted and could barely eat, and after ey had eaten, ey felt excessively sick. Ey could not set up eir own tent, so ey just lay down on it and fell asleep, not hearing Derekl's insults anymore.
In the morning, ey woke up to yet another sharp kick on eir side. At least ey did not feel sick anymore and the food had stayed down.
Derekl looked down at the ancod. "Sleeping ON your tent? You're one incompetent nutwit." The sergeant had an evil idea and stepped on Krezagon's crotch. Krezagon let out a short groan and waved eir arms around a bit. Ey was still fairly groggy. "USELESS!" Derekl pushed down with eir foot and Krezagon spent a few seconds clutching eir crotch after Derekl had stepped off of em. "Get up!" Krezagon staggered upright. "Take off your clothes."
"...What?" mumbled Krezagon.
Derekl smacked the ancod across the face. "TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES!" After that, Krezagon did not waste time and took off eir clothes. After ey was done and had dropped the clothes on the ground, Derekl stared at em with a mockingly amused expression. After a few comments about how sick, disgusting and deformed Krezagon was, the nicod said: "There, you can walk the whole trip today just like that. Naked and displaying your uselessness to the whole world!" With that, ey picked up Krezagon's clothes and took them away.
Krezagon felt disgustingly humiliated, but it was yet another thing ey should not care about, so ey tried not to. After packing up eir tent again, ey moved closer to where the others were eating. Derekl, however, said:
"Stay away, Shynderfolter. You're not going to ruin my breakfast with that revolting corpse of yours."
Krezagon was angry. "YOU took away my clothes, soni!"
"Silence, Shynderfolter! Don't try to come nearer!" The other team members reacted much like last night: three of them giggled and two were just quiet.
Krezagon was annoyingly helpless. Ey knew ey would not make it if ey did not get even that little bit of food that ey needed. Ey sat down, leaned eir arms on eir knees and eir head on eir arms, staring at the others.
After a moment, Riyhneon, the only gewacod in the team spoke: "Permission to give food to the ancod."
The sergeant was quiet for a moment. "Granted." The gewacod started piling up food on Krezagon's plate. "That's enough." It was just a bit over half of a proper portion, but the gewacod did not start arguing. Ey did, however, put in the spoonful ey was already holding, though Derekl had not meant that to be added. The nicod did not say anything, though.
The gewacod turned then and walked over to Krezagon. Ey gave the plate to the ancod. "Hold." Ey then scooped most of the food ey still had on eir own plate onto Krezagon's plate.
"Thank you," whispered Krezagon. Ey ate the food and did indeed march the whole day with only eir cruddy shoes on.
In the evening, ey went through another load of insults from the sergeant, but this time managed to set up eir own tent at least. Some time after ey had fallen asleep, one of the team members poked inside Krezagon's tent and shoved eir clothes in eir face.
When the morning came, Krezagon was woken up by the sergeant yelling general orders. Ey dressed up and got out of the tent to eat. However, the sergeant started again insulting em and this time concentrated on how Krezagon was slowing them down by walking always so slowly.
Krezagon listened to the rant and let it go out of eir other ear. When ey thought Derekl was done, ey said, with a slightly faltering voice: "May I say one thing, soni?"
"...What, worm?"
"Your loads are barely more than half of my load. I've been able to keep up with you even though I walk behind."
Derekl smacked Krezagon in the face again and then slapped em on the chest, shoving em forcefully backwards. "Insubordinate stinking useless corpse, Shynderfolter!
"Yes, soni."
After a while, a whip was found. Krezagon had already prepared for it, but the sharp pain always struck hard and ey could not help whimpering. Derekl only whipped em thrice though. Krezagon cowered and shook for a while as the others went to have breakfast, but got then dressed again and moved toward the others.
No, no... I don't mind. Don't be sorry. That was the past and the past will never change. My view of it might, but that's not important now." Tegafel tried to lift Krezagon to see eir face, and Krezagon raised emself. "I'm so sorry. If you... if you still want to have sex with me, I will, too."
A smile appeared on Krezagon's face again. "I do. But only if you honestly want it too and aren't just submitting to it because you know now that I want it too."
Tegafel was quiet for a while. Ey thought whether ey was just trying to make up for eir ignorance or if ey really wanted to do it. Ey figured that the sudden flow of blood to eir genitals answered the question for em, therefore pulling Krezagon's body against emself again and starting to kiss em and fondle eir body. They did not speak for a while and instead regained their excited states. They still had their clothes on and started to feel that they should lose them. They took only their trousers off since Tegafel had bandages across eir chest anyway. Krezagon could have taken eir shirt off, but did not, probably because the rag was so loose that Tegafel could just slip eir hands under it.
[Sex happens.]
They lay there for several minutes, but Krezagon broke the silence and spoke without raising eir head: "I have... I have wished for this to happen ever since I was... since I was almost as old as you. I was eleven." Krezagon paused for a while and continued: "I was lonely and depressed. The other kids wouldn't have me near them just because I wasn't going to be fertile or... 'useful', ergh. I always hate to say it... So I sat there and watched them. I wasn't jealous though, I didn't really want that development thing happening to me. But I was sad because I was alone. So I thought maybe I should just kill myself." Krezagon fingered Tegafel's shoulder and seemed hesitant. "One night I stabbed myself in the chest, but it hurt too much and I couldn't even push it past my ribcage. I thought I was so ...useless that I couldn't even kill myself and stabbed myself on the arm instead. I cried because of the pain and because I thought I was... that I was just what the others said. After a while some middle-aged wacod who was staying in the camp came in and asked if ey could talk with me. I was really surprised and I wanted to talk but I didn't want em to see I was bleeding, but ey didn't wait, ey just came in. Ey tied up my wounds and talked with me a lot then. One of the things ey said to me was: 'The others always give the impression that ancods can't have pleasure from sexual interaction or that they're just overgrown kids. I'll tell you now that that's a load of groshje. You will grow up and be an adult and you can take as much pleasure from your body as anyone else and no one has the right to call it wrong. Maybe they can restrict who you can marry, but you can walone anyone you want and as long as it's mutual, no one should tell you that it's wrong or force you apart. I hear it's even acceptable for ancods to stick together that way, but there aren't too many of you, like there aren't many of us wacods...' That's what ey said an' after that I didn't really think of killing myself again. By saying that, that wacod saved my life and gave me enough strength to come all this way. I just hoped I would find someone who cared enough about me." Krezagon paused again and lifted eir head, looking straight at Tegafel, with wishful eyes gleaming in the fairly dim indirect light of the tent. "And I have. I've finally found you!" Tears fell from Krezagon's eyes and ey was undescriptivel
Tegafel just absorbed what Krezagon said and was genuinely glad for both Krezagon and emself. Ey felt so good that ey did not even have one single negative doubt about eir role in Krezagon's personal goal in life; not even the memory of Roinynin came in between. Ey was content and stroked Krezagon's back with eir hands.
After a while, they regained some energy and cuddled and touched each other, smiling, and said some small insignificant and funny things. Tegafel was still sweaty all over, but Krezagon seemed almost fairly dry. Even eir blush had went away while Tegafel was still very much blushed, though it could not be distinguished from the wacod's dark skin.
Tegafel got a little more serious. "Have you done this before much?"
"Heh, Tegafel, silly you." Krezagon kissed the wacod. "I had never. With anyone else, I mean. Of course I had to try it myself right then when I was eleven... and I've done that ever since."
Tegafel smiled slightly surprisedly. Ey had never even thought about the possibility of masturbation, mostly because ey had thought ey would never have sex and when ey finally did, ey had no need to perform it alone and only on emself. However, now that ey imagined it, it did make sense. "How come you're so... not sweaty?" ey said with a grin. "You weren't even out of breath. And you moved yourself so much, I wouldn't have been able to do that!"
Krezagon just smiled. "Well, I am in good condition... It takes a lot more than great sex to get me out of breath."
Chapter 11
Krezagon lay on the ground for a fairly long time before anything happened. What did happen was footsteps coming closer, and when Krezagon turned eir head to see what was coming, ey saw Derekl, walking angrily toward em. The ancod became agitated immediately and startled before getting up.
Derekl did not even call for attention. "You useless piece of rotten wood!" Ey kept on slinging insults while ey grabbed Krezagon by the wounded arm and made the ancod whimper. Derekl pushed Krezagon around, trying to make em fall and did not let em run away. Krezagon fell down a few times. Ey tried to escape as well, and after ey had almost succeeded, Derekl caught em more firmly and grabbed eir crotch.
Krezagon startled exaggeratedly and stared at Derekl. "What the —?!"
"Silence, prosht!" Derekl groped Krezagon's crotch a bit and stuffed eir hand deeper. Ey was holding Krezagon's arm with eir other hand, but let go and instead grabbed the ancod's buttock.
Krezagon was very disturbed. Ey did not dare to do anything to Derekl in fear of getting executed, and ey stared getting slightly tearful. "Soni, please stop," ey asked.
"No I won't! I don't even see how you care! It's not like this would FEEL like anything to YOU, you useless slave!"
"It does!" Krezagon whimpered.
"You're just saying that." Derekl squeezed Krezagon's crotch, making the ancod grimace in pain and suppress a groan. The nicod let go of Krezagon's behind and smacked em in the face. Krezagon stumbled a bit and Derekl let go of em, but caught em before ey could even try to run. After a few insults and some shaking, Derekl grabbed Krezagon's shirt and pulled down forcefully, tearing it off.
Krezagon was jerked down. "Agh!"
Derekl discarded the torn cloth like it was air and grabbed Krezagon by eir hair. Krezagon could not help but bring both eir hands to hold Derekl's arm to prevent injury, but ey did it in a way that was not restricting the nicod, since it was more likely that Derekl would punish em worse if ey did. Derekl pulled off the bandages as well and pressed eir other hand against Krezagon's chest. "You know, I've heard that even the sexes who don't have breasts can sometimes breastfeed children. But you can't, because you're completely useless. What for do you even have nipples? I know! They're a some sort of mockery to your monument of total uselessness!" The nicod squeezed one of Krezagon's nipples between eir fingers, making the ancod scream.
"Please let me go!" Krezagon shook and again did all ey could to keep emself from attacking Derekl.
"You want to go, do you?! Not so fast, you prosht." Derekl looked around and yelled at the first people ey saw: "Hey! You three! Come over here." The two nicods and one nigecod jogged over while Derekl grabbed Krezagon's arms. "Hm... okay, you, go get a whip. Let's go over there." The three soldiers were obviously quite delighted in getting a chance to partake in some torture. Krezagon put up a namely resistance while the two soldiers and the sergeant dragged em to the edge of the camp where there was an almost vertical rock formation. Once there, the two soldiers grabbed Krezagon's arms and even restricted eir legs. Now Krezagon might have not been able to get away even if ey had to, so ey went fairly quiet. Ey stared at Derekl, scared. Derekl stepped very uncomfortably close to Krezagon and then moved both eir hands to grab the ancod's behind. Krezagon made a desperately uneasy face, and Derekl obviously enjoyed it. Ey continued groping Krezagon's private parts until the soldier who ey had sent to get a whip returned. Derekl moved some distance back and instructed the two soldiers to do the same. Krezagon could not help but submit, so ey pulled down eir suspenders, moved eir hair to the front and was about to turn. "Don't turn, Shynderfolter!
Krezagon almost panicked. "But — but —"
"You better cover your useless face, you prosht!" Derekl prepared to fling the whip.
Krezagon agonized for two seconds before ey covered eir face completely with eir arms and tensed eir body. When the first whiplash came, ey screamed and bent. As soon as ey had straightened emself, the second whiplash struck em neatly in the wound Derekl had cut earlier. It also went across Krezagon's nipple, which was that much more painful. Krezagon screamed again and stumbled because of the pain. It took em a bit more time to get upright and ey tried to delay it, but did not risk Derekl whipping em totally randomly like the nicod threatened, so ey straightened again and the whip struck em on the lower belly. Krezagon whimpered and heard that Derekl walked toward em again, having handed the whip to the third soldier. The two other guards came to Krezagon as well, and this time Krezagon put some more resistance in being restricted but did not hurt the other soldiers.
Derekl held Krezagon by the chin and saw the few tears that the ancod had in eir eyes and face. "Gzoozzing coward of a child! Weren't you taught that soldiers don't cry, prosht?!" Krezagon jerked eir head away and let out a sob disguised as a cough. Derekl quickly grabbed eir hair and pulled on it. Krezagon grimaced and tried to do whatever the sergeant wanted. Ey listened to yet another list of insults and profanities, and Derekl thought it would be a great idea to pull open the wound on Krezagon's chest as well as the whiplashes.
After eir wounds had been through some more violence, Krezagon was shaking fairly much. Ey was leaning eir head back in order to prevent the others from seeing just how badly ey was weeping. Derekl had gotten bored with pulling on Krezagon's wounds, so ey pulled on the ancod's hair again and got eir final bright idea. "You know, hair that long is just about as useless in the army as you are." Derekl turned to the one who was not holding Krezagon. "Do you have knife?"
The nicod reached to eir belt, but noticed that ey did not have one. "Sorry, I don't. I left it in my tent, soni..."
"Hm well. Take this," said Derekl and handed the soldier eir own knife. "Now, cut eir hair off."
The soldier grinned widely and got to work. Derekl's knife was not exactly in the sharpest condition, so it took fairly long to get Krezagon's hair short. It did not even succeed too well, since hair could not be cut very short with such a dull knife. Krezagon's scalp just hurt, but it was not the kind that would make em groan, so ey kept quiet, though tears certainly fell down eir face. Eir hair was the only beautiful part of eir body.
After the cutting was over, Krezagon had a bad headache and a terrible haircut. The other soldiers laughed, and Derekl spat out some more of eir unoriginal insults. Finally, Derekl just spat at Krezagon's face and the guards let em fall down on the ground. They walked away.
Krezagon could not sleep, though. Ey was in pain and very depressed, so ey kept on playing with eir knife. However, ey heard some footsteps outside and it sounded like they were getting closer. Adrenaline raced through Krezagon's body and ey put the knife away and stayed still, as if sleeping, so as to seem very calm and non-offensive. However, doing that did not prevent Derekl from opening Krezagon's tent.
"Wakey!" the nicod shouted. Krezagon startled and looked up, afraid of what would follow. Derekl smirked and said something to what seemed to be another person outside the tent. Having done that, Derekl stuffed emself into the tent.
"...Hey! Soni, please... this is my tent."
"Right, and this is your camp. Ha!" Ey pulled the blanket off Krezagon and grabbed the ancod's shoulder. Ey then loomed over Krezagon, pressing down on the shoulder. "I'm guessing not much people have been in this tent. It smells like... you. Pew..." Krezagon had no idea what the sergeant thought ey was doing. Krezagon just lay still and did not say or do anything. Derekl grabbed em by the chin. "Got your hair cut, huh?"
"Uh... yes..."
"Who did it?"
"The medic." Derekl did not answer anything to that. Ey fingered Krezagon's throat, which obviously made the ancod nervous and worried. "Soni, could you leave?"
"What? I just got here!" Derekl grabbed Krezagon's wrists and moved emself over the ancod. Krezagon was startled and scared. Derekl enjoyed seeing eir expression. Krezagon looked away. "Embarrassed, eh? How's this feel for you? Confused?" Krezagon was quiet and did not look at Derekl. "Answer."
"...Disrespect
"Hah! Disrespectful!
"...It's... still disrespectful.
"Disrespectful ey says! Do you expect respect? For someone as utterly useless as YOU?"
"I am NOT —!"
Derekl was slightly taken aback, but in an amused manner. "Not useless, eh? Hah hah! As if! You're the epitome of uselessness! You can't do ANYTHING!" Derekl pushed eir body down harder and squeezed Krezagon's wrists so hard that it hurt. It was not too much of a pain, though, so Krezagon just grimaced.
"Soni, please stop."
Derekl laughed and tried to kiss Krezagon, who just kept turning eir face away. "Stop turning away!" Krezagon left eir head sideways. "Turn your face this way." After Krezagon had done that, Derekl kissed em. "Have you ever done that before, huh?"
"...That's personal."
"Hah! As if! You'll tell me now!"
"...I... I've... yes."
"Let me guess, that little murdering buddy of yours? That wacod rookie."
"Ey didn—" Krezagon could not even finish saying it before Derekl had punched em on the face. Ey let out a slightly muffled scream.
"I wasn't asking that!"
Krezagon was quiet for a short moment. "...Yes..."
Derekl grinned. "Now that's more like it. Anyone else?"
It took a while for Krezagon to reply. "Yes."
"Who?"
"Another ancod..."
"Heh, imagine that! Double the uselessness! How does it feel like anyway? Is it just nice to get touched a little, eh?" Krezagon just stared at the nicod. "Huh?" Derekl smiled evilly and started stroking and fondling Krezagon's face and neck. Krezagon frowned and looked away—the stroking should have felt nice and it would have, had the circumstances been different. Of course that fact made it worse when Derekl inquired more: "So, how's it feel like."
Krezagon was quiet again. "I don't know..."
Derekl laughed. "Figures!" Derekl spent a moment prodding and poking Krezagon's head, which felt unpleasant and embarrassing. "Say, when exactly did you realize that you were never going to be anything but a useless crazy prosht?"
"Never."
Derekl laughed once again. "Still in denial! You're crazier than you tell! But at least you haven't completely lost it, like some... Where I'm from, there was this useless ancod nutwit that was completely groshjed up. When ey wasn't in prison, ey sneaked around at night, stole paper and ate it. Ey tried to mutilate children twice and that was when ey was executed. I got to hang em myself! And the world was immediately a better place!"
Krezagon was desperately angry. Ey did not want to talk or explain, but ey also wanted to tell Derekl that crazy and useless was not what ancods were. "I've met two ancods before. They were both gardeners, they weren't crazy at all, just sad because so few accepted them. They did honest work and did it well."
"Right. You made that up," grinned Derekl.
"Well, so did you then."
Annoyed, Derekl poked Krezagon in the eye lightly, making the ancod protect eir eyes, and then leaned on eir chest with one elbow. Krezagon shouted in pain, afraid that the elbow would crack eir ribs. After it was fairly clear that Krezagon's ribcage was tougher than the pressure created by Derekl's elbow and a part of eir weight, Derekl started explaining, with devotion, what exactly Krezagon was missing since the ancod could not have children and how useless it was. Krezagon just listened and felt bad. When Derekl was done, ey asked: "So...?" Krezagon was quiet. Ey did not want to say anything. "Hey, you prosht! Speak when spoken to!"
"I have nothing to say."
"Oh really? Your face is telling something else!"
"I don't want to say anything."
"I'll beat you if you don't."
Krezagon was suddenly struck silent, but then figured that there was no way out of it. "...You'll beat me anyway."
"Well then I'll beat you worse if you don't speak."
"Yeah, right." Without saying anything more, Derekl sat on Krezagon's stomach and started pounding em. After a while, the nicod stopped and looked down at the bleeding ancod.
"Do you want some more of that?"
"No."
"Then hm..." Derekl had forgotten why exactly ey had started beating Krezagon and it took a while for em to remember. "So tell me how do you feel about being so gzoozzing useless."
Krezagon just made something up that ey thought would please the sergeant. "I don't think about it most of the time. When I do, I'm sad..." Ey realized that it was actually true up to a point. "But I'm not useless. I'm good at what I CAN do! Even the captain said I'm good." Krezagon started sounding defensive.
"Hah! Hah! Either you totally imagined that because you're a nutwit, or then that gewacod just pitied you so much! Or you're a big gzoozzing liar!" Derekl laughed and pressed Krezagon's head down at the ground.
After a moment, Krezagon thought to ask the nicod leave again. "Soni..." Ey did not finish the plea, though, since ey figured that if ey asked, Derekl would just stay that much longer.
"What?"
"Nothing..."
Derekl slapped Krezagon on the face and then moved off of the ancod. Glaring at the half-naked body in front of em, ey grinned and said: "Take off your pants." Krezagon knew better than to resist by now, so ey just complied. Derekl moved eir hand to Krezagon's crotch and groped em a bit. Krezagon just tried to not care. Eventually Derekl moved close to eir feet and wanted to see what ey had between eir legs. Again, Krezagon complied and mostly wanted to lose consciousness. Ey leaned eir head back and covered eir face with eir hands.
Some time later, Derekl got bored with playing with the ancod's crotch. Ey lay on top of Krezagon again and held em by the wrists. Krezagon was very sad. Derekl enjoyed it and kissed Krezagon again. Krezagon did not even try to resist this time. Derekl seemed amused and said: "Have you ever tried to have sex?"
Krezagon was quiet and confused for a short moment, before lying: "No..."
Derekl amused emself by groping Krezagon a bit more violently. Krezagon had a hard time not resisting, so eventually ey brought eir hands to push the nicod by the chest. Ey did not push Derekl off, though, and the sergeant did not seem to mind too much. After a moment, Derekl stopped groping Krezagon and held em by the shoulders before lying down next to em and simultaneously turning em to eir side as well. Krezagon had a chance to turn away, so ey did and turned eir back at Derekl. Derekl grabbed Krezagon's shoulder but eir attention was momentarily drawn to the very ugly, long since healed gash on the ancod's back.
Krezagon could not wait anymore. Eir voice faltered a bit and ey said: "Soni, could you please leave me alone now?"
Derekl let out a short laugh and pulled a finger down Krezagon's back to eir crotch before hugging the ancod to emself. Derekl moved eir other hand to Krezagon's crotch again from the front, and after having gotten bored with it, started fondling Krezagon's face again.
After a few moment, Krezagon had had enough. "Soni, please stop!" ey shouted.
Derekl caught em by the wrist. "What?"
"Please stop! I don't want you groping me! Please leave!"
"Getting angry now, are we?" snapped Derekl and tried to turn Krezagon around again, but Krezagon finally put up some resistance and Derekl failed. Instead, Derekl started beating Krezagon's arms and back furiously. "You insubordinate prosht! Getting all resisting now are you?! I could have your useless corpse executed!" Derekl lay on top of Krezagon's back and looked at the ancod's face. Krezagon was weeping. "You're crying?! You cowardly BRAT!" Derekl tried to turn Krezagon again, and succeeded this time, because Krezagon's arms were hurting. They ended up lying on their sides, facing each other. Derekl was holding onto Krezagon's other wrist and squeezing eir ribcage with the other. Krezagon was holding the front of Derekl's shirt.
"You'd weep if you were tortured!" yelled Krezagon.
"Tortured!" Derekl spat out, mockingly. Ey kneed Krezagon in the crotch and the ancod screamed. "There's some reason for you to cry about, you useless piece of rotten wood!" Krezagon tried to curl up and rub eir crotch, but Derekl would not let em. Some tears ran down eir face. Derekl tore off most of the bandages, shouted some more insults at em and eventually shouted angrily: "For once you can thank the gods and your ancestors that you're an ancod, because otherwise I'd rape your gzoozzing useless corpse!" Derekl hit Krezagon on the hips and rear end while twisting eir hurt arm. Krezagon whimpered and tried to suppress all the sobs. However, after a few spanks, Derekl's eyes lit up, ey stopped hitting Krezagon and instead took eir face close to Krezagon's. "You know what? I CAN rape your useless corpse. And I will do it!" Krezagon whimpered and did not think Derekl was serious. Derekl twisted Krezagon's arms a bit and then held them with one hand while ey dropped eir trousers and took out a condom. Ey took eir face close to the ancod again and whispered suggestively: "See, a gogenjin isn't the only hole that's big enough for screwing..."
Now Krezagon figured what Derekl meant. "WHAT?! — No! No! Soni... please! Please! No!"
"Shut the groshje up!" Krezagon continued pleading and trying to turn, and when ey almost succeeded, Derekl hit em in the mouth with the hilt of a sword. Krezagon felt a tooth come loose and screamed because of the pain. Blood flowed from eir mouth. "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" Krezagon managed to cry quieter, and in the meantime Derekl set em into a position. Krezagon was on the ground on eir knees and arms, with Derekl behind em.
It took some time for Derekl to get eir goninjin into Krezagon, and when ey did, Krezagon cried and trembled in pain. Derekl had eir way and tore Krezagon's back while ey was at it.
When Derekl finally came, ey clawed Krezagon's shoulders, sinking eir nails into the ancod's flesh. Krezagon screamed louder and fell down as Derekl crashed on top of em. Derekl lay there for a while and did nothing, all the while Krezagon cried and tried eir best to suppress it since ey did not want Derekl to beat em one bit more. Derekl discarded the used condom somewhere in Krezagon's tent, turned and shoved the ancod around a bit, groping, and gave a final tearing strike at Krezagon's chest before getting out and leaving.
Krezagon cried for several more minutes and tried to sleep, but the pain was intolerable. Ey got up, wrapped emself in the dirty blanket ey had bled on and and wobbled off toward the infirmary tent. Expectedly, the medic was not there, so Krezagon lit the little lamp in the tent, sat down, curled up and cried some more.
Chapter 13
The femehan was unconscious for almost a day and the jinhaliares became more inconvenienced by the hour. However, ey did wake up finally and ate and drank without trouble. The jinhaliares found it very strange that ey had jumped off a cliff to an almost certain death, and still ey agreed to eat, even though not eating would end eir life right then and there. Ey did not reply any of their question, no matter how much they yelled and how badly they threatened. Then they raped em and did not ask any more questions.
They spent over a week on the journey to a specific place and it was not the prison nor Aolkheine, the city close to it. Once they arrived, they got on a wagon and were taken away. The femehan was always kept restrained and the jinhaliares kept on raping em—ey might just as well create some new offspring for them if ey was not going to be otherwise useful.
Drength and Jenneft took the femehan gecod to a distant and badly kept femehan village at the edges of some nation whose name did not matter to them. Two jinhaliare far-walkers awaited them there. Once they arrived, Drength broke one of the gecod's shins to prevent em from escaping. After that, the far-walkers finally got to work.
Strange as it may have been, even the powerful jinhaliare far-walkers could not retract any information save for the gecod's name: Tarkavinel Airahankio. They broke em in so many ways and yet ey never managed to tell them anything. The more crazy they made em, the less sense ey made. When they finally gave up, Tarkavinel was perfectly delusional and had to be restrained at all times. Even after all the torture and hallucinations
The jinhaliares left to discuss the situation further. The femehan lackeys in the village were instructed to keep Tarkavinel alive and less harmed than ey currently was. The village was located close to a hiding place of jinhaliare assassins, so the jinhaliares could keep an eye on em—they did not want to bother with taking care of em. After all, though an extremely curious case, Tarkavinel was not important to them in the least as long as the information in eir head could not be retrieved.
Against everyone's expectations, in a few weeks Tarkavinel started regaining eir sanity. However, since ey did not speak, eir caretakers only noticed it after ey had started staring intently anyone who raped em. The staring bothered them and they blindfolded em since they had been told that ey should not be permanently harmed.
When Tarkavinel's leg showed signs of healing, the villagers broke it again.
Chapter 14
Eventually Riyhneon spoke: "I'm just... rather tired of the others asking me to have sex with them. They've even grabbed me a few times." Krezagon frowned. "That's a reason why I rather sleep with you, you know. You don't 'accidentally' wake up with your hand in my crotch or anything," said Riyhneon with half a grin.
Krezagon made a small grin as well. "I could talk to them."
"I don't know... it's okay when I don't sleep with them."
"Well, they still ought to stop, right?"
"Yeah." They were quiet for a moment. "Hm, I guess that's one lucky part being an ancod, right? People don't even try doing anything like that to you. Well, except Derekl..."
Krezagon let out a short and slightly uneasy laugh. "I don't know. I suppose, kind of. But it's bad too, since everyone just thinks I don't want sex. Or can't have any."
Riyhneon was quiet for a moment. "And uh... you... want it?"
"...Well, sometimes." Another short pause followed. "Did you actually know that I'm able to have sex?"
"Um, I kind of suspected... because, you know, I have undeveloped parts in my crotch that are... sensitive, so why not you?"
Krezagon smiled slightly surprisedly. "Wow, that's smart." Riyhneon smiled a little. Krezagon lifted eir hand and stroked the gewacod's hair. Riyhneon fidgeted and then leaned closer to Krezagon, settling emself so that the side of eir hip was touching Krezagon's hip and eir other shoulder was over the ancod's chest. Krezagon was slightly surprised, but decided to just hold Riyhneon's shoulder and lean back on em.
They sat there close to each other for some time. Riyhneon thought about things and started feeling better. Ey thought about how Krezagon was so safe—the ancod was fair, competent and not sex-crazed. Riyhneon went fairly smiley and turned eir body so that ey could hug Krezagon. Krezagon was a little confused first, but moved so that the hug was accomplished more easily and then hugged back. Not too long after, Riyhneon started feeling like having some "safe sex". Ey snuggled eir face against Krezagon's and kissed the ancod after a while.
Krezagon was still confused, but went along with it. However, after they stopped kissing, ey said: "I'm a little confused here."
Riyhneon fidgeted a little. "Well, see, after all those requests for sex I've been a bit scared to submit to it at all... even when I'd like to do it too. Besides, they're more rough than I'd like so it's just... mh, awkward, maybe?"
"Oh."
"But uh... Do you want to do it with me at all?"
"Well, I... I don't see a reason why I wouldn't," said Krezagon with a slightly surprised smile.
Riyhneon smiled and they continued making out. After a while, Krezagon stood up, lay down on the shore and pulled Riyhneon down on top of em. They continued fondling each other until they heard some ruckus from the place where the others were. They were momentarily startled.
Taikehel gradually and carefully suggested that idea to Krezagon, being glad that Krezagon seemed to go to the conclusion almost without eir help. Krezagon's fear pretty much went away and ey grinned at emself. Ey would be fine, whatever ey did. Ey raised emself a little and looked at the far-walker. Ey lifted a hand and started stroking Taikehel's face and body. Taikehel sensed that Krezagon wanted to do all the touching for the moment, so ey kept eir hands down and enjoyed the pleasure.
After a while, Krezagon got on top of Taikehel and the far-walker started touching Krezagon's back and sides. Krezagon was slightly amused at the fact how lightly Taikehel touched em, but figured that the far-walker really was that wimpy. They got excited and were about to start rubbing their genitals against each other when Taikehel stopped for a moment and pushed Krezagon aside a bit.
"Listen... Do you know what it's like to have sex with a far-walker?"
"Mhmhm... isn't it the same as with anyone else?"
"No. When I get more excited, I sort of lose control of my abilities... I'll read your mind a little and read all your pleasure. I'll add my own to it and then reflect it back to you. We'll be sharing the whole thing, pretty much. It's... more intensive for you." Taikehel did not mention that even other feelings and memories might be shared.
"Really?" Krezagon wiggled a little and was fairly curious. "I want to try that." Having said that, ey continued fondling Taikehel.
They continued making out, kissing and rubbing each other's crotches. At reaching climax, Krezagon felt like a channel was opened to eir mind and Taikehel had then turned eir brain upside-down while making sure that ey would register every bit of pleasure they felt. Krezagon had mental flashes of Tegafel and Taikehel. Ey was momentarily completely out of it and when ey came to, ey was grabbing Taikehel's shoulders, with eir nails sunk in the far-walker's skin. Taikehel was holding Krezagon tightly as well. They both let go and lay there, regaining their composure.
Krezagon wiggled and kissed Taikehel fairly affectionately
Chapter 17
It was night again and Tegafel was sitting at the bow with Availon. Ey was rubbing the galanfetzcan's shoulders. "Availon, I keep wondering this thing..."
"What?"
"You know, Gertkeret. Ey gave me that sword and is acting so friendly... an' I just wonder if... if ey's just doing it so ey can get to have sex with me."
"Oh."
"Is ey?"
"I've invaded eir privacy enough. I'm not going to dig eir mind for that."
"But you have to know, it'd have been in eir surface thoughts because ey's been with me so much an'..."
"Sorry, Tegafel, but no. You can decide for yourself."
"Uh." Tegafel felt a little helpless. "What would you have done?"
"What?" Availon was a little surprised by the question, but replied nevertheless: "If these people were galanfetzcans or maybe even garandals, I would have had sex with at least a couple of them already."
"Garandals?"
"Yes—wait, you have heard of them. They are slightly smaller than I am, I can easily have sex with them. It's not a big thing."
"But... across races like that?"
Availon shrugged. "Half-breeds are not possible. What does it matter even if you had sex with an animal, as long as it's enjoyable for all parties involved?"
"Animal?!" Availon was quiet. "That is sick! Have you—?!"
"I'm sorry I mentioned it."
"Have you done it —"
"Do you understand that I would just lie to you?"
"Then please do!"
"Yes."
"Koimel! How could y— I can't b— ...What?" Availon was quiet. "You said you'd lie and then you said you had done it?"
"Go away."
"But..." Tegafel got up and took a few steps but returned then. "Availon, please tell me the truth and don't lie. You swore you would."
"...No, I have not had sex with an animal." Tegafel stared at Availon for a moment and walked away.
The night after the next, when the sailors were going to sleep, Tegafel spoke to Gertkeret:
"Do you have the rest of that wine?"
"Oh, yeah I do."
"Can we go outside?"
"Yeah." Gertkeret smiled, fetched the wine and they went out.
This time Tegafel decided the spot and they went to the bow. Availon was asleep on the left side of the equipment box behind the small front mast, so the two femehans went to the right side. They sat on a pile of looped rope and drank the bottle empty. Tegafel thought about Gertkeret being eir personal pleasure slave again and got excited. This time Gertkeret noticed it, but ey did not say anything. After they were done with the bottle, they half laid and half sat inside a coil of rope right next to each other.
Tegafel turned eir face at Gertkeret and looked at em until the nicod did the same, after which they kissed. Gertkeret was very quiet. "We can have sex if you want to," said Tegafel quietly and added: "If you have a condom."
Gertkeret ran a finger across Tegafel's thigh quickly—ey did not want to seem overeager by starting to grope right away. "Yes... I'll go get one. Ya know, Dasdenu an' Tylhenon have some... they won't mind. Please wait." Gertkeret ran off and returned soon, carrying a blanket as well. They settled on the pile of rope and under the blanket and tarpaulin. Tegafel held Gertkeret rather mechanically while they kissed and worked up an excited state. Gertkeret was slightly unsure of how ey should touch Tegafel. "Mhh. Could you... tell me what you'd like me to do?"
"I... uh. Well, I like light touching... stroking..."
"Alright." Gertkeret smiled and got to work, brushing Tegafel's body in all the right and sensitive places. "Won't Availon notice this? I mean, we're right next to em an' ey's a far-walker."
"Ey can't not notice it, so it's the same where we are..."
"Oh. Well."
Eventually the two femehans got out of their clothes, continued stroking each other and pushing each other's buttons. They performed intercourse, were satisfied and fell asleep in a bundle under the covers.
They woke up some time before sunrise because Tegafel's leg had poked outside the covers and was cramping. After a few painful moments and trying to rub it warmer, Gertkeret suggested another method to get it warm, and so they had sex again. They managed to still fall asleep and only woke up when the other sailors got up.
Tylhenon, Dasdenu and Availon were looking at them and smiling. Availon seemed rather sickly, but there was no sign of it in eir voice when ey said: "Score, Tegafel."
"Oh, I'd call that even," went the ship captain, grinning. Availon waved eir arms and laughed.
Chapter 18
One night Tegafel and Availon were sleeping together in the tent, like they usually did, and Tegafel was having a particularly sex-filled dream. First ey had sex with Roinynin, then with Krezagon and finally ey made all eir friends pleasure em, long deceased or not. And when that was not enough, ey turned to Availon and forced em into having sexual intercourse. Availon's goegen tore open and ey bled and cried.
Availon sat up in the tent, all sweaty and nearly screaming. Tegafel was startled as well, but ey was still feeling sexual pleasure and eir goninjin was swelled, standing up under eir trousers. Availon did not see it but ey knew it. Ey whimpered.
"Availon? Are you... um... I'm sorry, are you alright?"
The galanfetzcan's voice faltered again. "Y-yes."
"It was just a dream. I don't know —"
"I know. Don't mind it."
Feeling a bit bad, Tegafel gave up and settled again. Ey fell asleep soon. Availon was not calmed so easily, but was eventually able to fall asleep. Ey did not sense Tegafel dreaming, at least yet.
In the morning, Tegafel was excited again and Availon felt violated. Neither of them could remember anything, however. Availon was uneasy. They did not talk much during the day, and when night came again, they both wondered whether they would fall asleep.
They slept and dreamed and this time the dream did not even start out with Tegafel's friends, it started with Tegafel chasing Availon. Tegafel was a faster and more durable runner, ey just played with the galanfetzcan, only barely letting em get away before almost catching em again. A few times ey poked eir goninjin into Availon and then released em again. Availon was quickly losing eir will to get away. The dream went on for a long time before Availon gave in. Tegafel pressed em against a rock face down, held em by the hands and hair and raped em from behind. When ey reached climax, they both woke up.
Availon jerked upwards into a sitting position, screaming, and then curled up into a ball and bawled. Tegafel felt pleasure before starting to feel bad, inconvenienced and uneasy about what just had happened. In addition to that, ey had to clean up the mess in eir pants.
Tegafel reached out to touch Availon's back. "Availon? I —"
Availon startled, shivered and shouted no before Tegafel's fingers even made contact. Ey swayed a little, crying and hugging eir legs to emself. Tegafel stared at the bare back for a moment before deciding to go outside. The air was cold and the wetness of eir trousers did not make things better at all. Ey grimaced when the cold, moist fabric came into contact with eir sensitive parts and then spent some time trying to rub the cloth dry. Ey was cold but did not come up with enough boldness to go back into the tent with Availon.
When Tegafel was just about cold enough to finally go back into the tent, Availon came out instead and immediately walked straight away from Tegafel. Tegafel waited a bit more but went back into the tent eventually, warmed up emself and fell asleep.
In the morning, Tegafel was not sexually excited at all. Ey came out of the tent and saw Availon some distance away, under a tree, half-crying. Availon looked miserable; after all, ey had spent the rest of eir night crying there. Figuring that Availon probably still wanted to be alone, Tegafel took down and packed the tent, performed a few more morning rituals and started making breakfast. Availon did not move. Finally, when the food was done, Tegafel said:
"Would you like some breakfast?" Ey stood there, waiting for Availon to move or say that ey did not want it. However, Availon did nothing and eventually Tegafel merely put down Availon's portion and started eating. After a while, Availon got up hesitantly, walked unstably toward eir portion and started eating it.
Availon finished eating. Ey glanced fleetingly at the femehan and said: "Please don't talk to me. I couldn't bear it." It was fairly clear that ey was not angry or malicious toward Tegafel, but that ey just could not handle it emotionally. Tegafel thought ey understood it. They continued walking. Availon was tired and they held fairly long breaks.
"Why can't you just stop it?" asked Tegafel at some point during the day. "You're a far-walker, you should be able to."
"I-I can't. It worries me... but... there's nothing wrong."
"You have to know I would never do anything like that."
"Yes... I know."
"Where can those dreams come from?"
"Don't... don't."
Availon slept the next night alone outside. Tegafel remembered no dreams, but Availon still felt tired and violated in the morning. Ey almost remembered eir dream, but not quite. Ey did not explain anything of it to Tegafel.
The next night, they slept together again and dreamed that after Availon had given up running away from Tegafel, the femehan thought it was too easy a victory and proceeded to cut off or mutilate Availon's limbs, sensitive places and sensory organs. Then Tegafel raped em again.
They both jolted up this time. Tegafel was disgusted, disturbed and yet sexually excited. Availon shrieked in horrified panic and almost thrashed the tent but ended up curling up into a ball and bawling again. Availon did not sleep that night.
As they advanced slowly the next day, Tegafel thought about how ey had wanted to make up all the injustice that Krezagon had been subjected to. Ey was quite certain that it was not eir fault if Availon got abused, mutilated and raped in eir dreams, but ey was also certain that ey did not want it happening. Ey tried to think of any ways to make it stop and did not really come up with any. The group of two did not make it far that day. Availon could not sleep. Ey sat awake in the tent and watched Tegafel. Tegafel had no dreams about sex.
They did not even start walking the next day. Availon was not in a condition to travel. Far-walkers were rather dependent on sleep. Ey tried to sleep during the day but could not.
The next night they settled in the tent again. Availon managed to finally fall asleep along Tegafel.
They woke up in the night once again. Tegafel had had no dreams and Availon merely twitched and started crying.
"Availon? ..." Tegafel tried to touch Availon, and again the galanfetzcan flinched and whimpered, not wanting Tegafel to touch emself. Tegafel was frustrated. Ey touched Availon's shoulder nevertheless, however lightly. Availon seemed to become even more upset. "Availon, I don't know what this stuff is, but it's obviously not my fault. I didn't even have a dream now." Ey grabbed Availon's shoulder and turned em toward emself. Availon put up a little resistance but felt too helpless to really prevent Tegafel from doing it. "I'd honestly never do those kind of things to you, or to anyone. I'd protect you." Tegafel pressed Availon against eir chest and the galanfetzcan did not resist. Ey grabbed Tegafel's shirt with eir hands, buried eir face in Tegafel's chest and sobbed. "You're safe with me..." Tegafel was reminded of the few days after Availon had helped em escape the prison—Availon had been so comforting, so stable and reliable. Tegafel was not a far-walker, but by now ey knew ey was not completely helpless either. Ey continued holding the little body, and eventually Availon calmed down. Tegafel grew bored and fell asleep.
In the morning, Tegafel woke up because Availon had startled and started moving. However, Availon did not start crying or even sit up. Ey turned to look at Tegafel.
"Are you okay? Did you have another nightmare?"
"In a way... I... I was having a nightmare, but this time you came in it later and saved me."
Tegafel was a bit flattered. "I didn't have a dream." Availon smiled weakly and pressed emself closer to Tegafel.
They traveled a small distance that day and talked about the reasons for Availon's nightmares.
"Have you ever had dreams like that?" asked Tegafel.
"No. Of course I've had the few occasional nightmares and some about my youth, understandably
"Is there anything that's different now that wasn't back then?" Availon looked fairly contemplative, but said nothing. "Maybe all that killing is getting to you or something."
"Ehh. I... I doubt it."
"Why? Is violence and murdering really a thing you get used to doing? Can you do that without feeling anything?"
"Most often I could, I think."
"Maybe your subconscious is punishing you or something."
Availon felt slightly amused, but did not want to smile. The issue was not funny at all. "I doubt that too. But I don't know what it is."
"Will you be alright from now on?"
"I sincerely hope so."
Night came and they settled to sleep again, this time nearly cuddling. Availon did indeed feel safer that way, and Tegafel was happy that eir comforting worked. Neither of them remembered any dreams.
The next night started out similarly, but this time they dreamed again. The very beginning of the dream was similar to Availon's nightmares; this time two jinhaliares chased em and caught em, but Tegafel came in between and killed the jinhaliares, saving Availon. Then they figured that the best thing to do at that time was to have sex, so they had sex—no raping, forcing or even anything unpleasant; everything they did felt awesome. Just as they were about to have an orgasm, they woke up with a gasp.
Tegafel's thigh was over Availon's legs and eir goninjin was pressing against eir hip. Tegafel was embarrassed and moved a bit so as to not touch Availon. Availon was excited as well, but Tegafel did not notice.
Availon turned back at Tegafel and hugged em. Tegafel was not very receptive. Availon turned eir head a bit upward so they could see each other's faces. Tegafel looked slightly confused. Availon snuggled closer to Tegafel and only stopped after ey felt Tegafel's swelled goninjin against eir thigh. Tegafel was about to move away again, but Availon grabbed eir head and kissed em.
Tegafel had some controversial feelings about the kissing: on the other hand it felt nice and they were fairly close friends, but then again, Availon was of a different race and considerably smaller as well. Ey kissed back for a short moment, but pulled away.
Availon was quiet for a moment, looking away, but then ey looked into Tegafel's eyes and said: "Please."
Tegafel did not reply at first. "You... Do you want to have sex?"
"Yes, I do."
"With me?"
"Yes."
"But we're different race... and size!"
"Race doesn't matter, Tegafel. Neither does size, unless your goninjin is too big to be enjoyable for me. But it's not obligatory to perform intercourse while having sex."
"What? Do you think we're... compatible like that?"
"I know we are."
"You know —"
"I know how femehan reproductive organs are supposed to be like. I haven't secretly spied you or anything though," said Availon, a bit amusedly. Tegafel made half a grin. "But if you don't want to, for any reason, let's not do it. It's not... we should only do it if we both want to."
"Yeah. Uh." Tegafel started thinking again.
Availon felt a bit agitated. "So, do you want it or not?"
"Aren't you hasty now," giggled Tegafel and pressed Availon's lower back with eir hands. They kissed then and continued fondling and stroking each other. Tegafel's thoughts mostly trailed to the mythical qualities of galanfetzcans—
[Sex happens.]
They lay there for a long moment, breathing and resting. Tegafel started soon being full of questions, however. Availon ran eir fingers across Tegafel's face and started replying: "Sorry, I forgot you hadn't had sex with a far-walker. I should have explained it before. I... when we have sex, our minds connect. For far-walkers, sex isn't intimate just physically, it's intimate mentally too. Mostly it means that we'll be sharing the whole experience. It just happens, I can't prevent it. I hope you weren't too weirded out?"
"No, I... I just wondered why it felt like that." Tegafel did think that it had been a bit creepy, but the extra pleasure had been worth it.
"And yes... I also forgot that you only have one orgasm. We have two, the first one prepares the release of the sex fluids and the second releases them."
"The second one was kind of painful..."
"Yes, I'm sorry." Availon petted Tegafel's hair.
"Which one feels better for you?"
"Well, doing it with you, the first one. But if it's with another galanfetzcan, I'm not really sure. I guess they both feel just as good, but sometimes the other is better and I don't know why, though." Tegafel pulled a blanket over their bodies and they cuddled there for a few moments until they fell asleep again.
Availon and Tegafel had sex somewhat regularly after that. Availon had a few more nightmares, but they faded eventually and stopped coming. It was the brink of autumn and the leaves of the trees started getting yellowish as the days grew shorter and air colder. They made it to the Great River and paid for a ride on a riverboat. Availon felt slightly seasick again, but the river was somewhat better for em—the traveling was either smooth or rough and the visual always agreed with the feeling.
Availon and Tegafel were only a few days into the meadows when a strange incident happened. Tegafel was away hunting some animal for food—they usually ate plants, but meat was nice to get at least occasionally. Availon, in the meantime, was setting up the tent and preparing a fireplace to cook the meat. However, as ey was gathering dried branches from bushes and the rare trees, ey sensed the presence of two vile creatures. Ey looked up and saw two jinhaliares some distance away. They noticed Availon as well. Availon was terrified. If they were both far-walkers or if the other one was a strong far-walker, Availon would be done for if ey could not find Tegafel in time. And even Tegafel was no match for two jinhaliares.
Availon screamed, dropped the wood ey had gathered and ran into the direction where Tegafel had went. The jinhaliares ran after em, shouting to em that ey would be less severely harmed if ey gave up now. Though Availon was nimble, the jinhaliares reached em fairly quickly due to their size. One of them had ran beside em and stopped em while the other prevented em from turning back. Availon was panicking but managed to try to prevent them from seeing em by using eir far-walker abilities. One of them was relatively easy to distract, but the other one was a far-walker as well, and though ey was not a very powerful far-walker, ey could for now see through Availon's tricks. Availon was too distracted by eir fear and Tegafel's abilities to save em to stop the far-walker jinhaliare. Availon spent a few moments circling and dodging the jinhaliare, but eventually the big creature got a strike through, hit Availon in the stomach and knocked em to the ground. The jinhaliare grabbed Availon by the throat and was about to smash eir face in when the other jinhaliare's head dropped to the ground in front of em. Looking up, the jinhaliare holding Availon saw Tegafel starting to run toward em, but ey could not stop Tegafel before it was too late. Tegafel ran eir longsword through the jinhaliare's chest just as ey let go of Availon. Availon rolled on the ground, away from the two. The jinhaliare screamed at Tegafel who was quite demoralized by it. Ey let go of eir sword and the jinhaliare punched em in the face. Tegafel had fortunately managed to sidestep enough so that the hit did not shake eir brains too much, and since the jinhaliare was strangely confused, Tegafel took eir chance and tried to cut deep into eir arm with eir short sword. The jinhaliare screamed again and eir right arm was rendered practically useless—many of the muscles were cut. The jinhaliare continued thrashing about and though ey got some blows through to Tegafel, they were not very serious, while Tegafel's sword-slashes were that much more devastating. Eventually Tegafel had managed to mutilate both the jinhaliare's arms and had to cut some tendons in eir legs to make em stop moving. When that was done, the jinhaliare lay on the ground, bleeding and in serious pain, obviously trying eir best to control emself somehow.
Tegafel ran over to where Availon was. "Are you alright?"
Availon seemed to be fairly paralyzed. "Y-yes, I think so. I... I was just badly startled. Really badly. I thought... that I was going to die." When Tegafel lifted Availon's arm, it shook uncontrollably
"Shouldn't we interrogate em first? Besides, with those wounds ey'll die in an hour."
"Jinhaliares are very resilient. But... yes, I suppose you are right. But I can't do that now. Can you disable em more and tie em to some tree?"
"Disable more? I mutilated eir arms and cut the tendons of eir legs."
"Please. It is just a safety measure, but I trust eir healing abilities as much as eir ability to move when wounded. Also, ey's a far-walker, so we need to keep eir mind occupied."
Tegafel realized that Availon was very likely the expert on the issue and did as ey asked. At least torturing the jinhaliare did not feel repulsive to Tegafel—while it was horrid to be tortured, knowing how it was like did not seem to bother Tegafel at least too much. The jinhaliare did not scream in pain, though ey groaned suppressedly. When Tegafel was done, ey tied the jinhaliare to a tree some distance away from the tent. The jinhaliare was in pain and started to get a little messed up with it.
"Who are you? Are you one of those femehan rebel scums?! Why don't you kill me?!" ey shouted.
"Shut the groshje up! I don't want to hear anything from you!"
"Who are you?!"
"Who are YOU?"
Surprisingly enough, the jinhaliare replied: "Drength, a spy! And it won't be of any use to you, all the information has been extracted and removed from my mind! Kill me, you hiyrskoori!"
"Hork you! Maybe you should wish that some predator comes and eats you!" Tegafel finished tying em up and left as ey kept on shouting insults and killing requests.
Availon managed to eventually gather emself and move. Ey was still very startled, shook and could not eat much.
Tegafel was a bit concerned about the jinhaliare. "When can you interrogate em? I'm sure that with those wounds ey will not survive a day."
"I can't do it right now. I have to rest a little. But if ey's in that bad a condition, I can just rest a few hours and do it in the night."
"Alright. I'll stay up and keep watch... I'm a bit too agitated to sleep."
"I hope I can sleep a little."
They finished eating and Availon went into the tent. Tegafel sat outside wrapped in the blanket and kept watch. However, once eir system had recovered enough, ey grew very tired and after one eyelid-resting session ey did not open them any time soon again.
Tegafel woke up to a vague feeling of pleasure and some sounds. Ey was fairly confounded first, but then saw the empty tent, realized that ey had been sleeping and got another adrenaline burst. Ey ran toward the place where the jinhaliare Drength was.
Ey could see from a distance that Availon was standing or sitting over the jinhaliare's lap in a way that definitely looked like they were having sexual intercourse. Tegafel could not really believe eir eyes, but could not question it either. Availon moved and wriggled about while Drength tried to do eir best to move eir goninjin around.
"Availon! Stop! What are you doing?! Availon, what the gzoozz are you doing?!" Both of them seemed to ignore Tegafel and started getting orgasmic just when Tegafel made it to the spot. Ey stabbed the jinhaliare in the chest while shoving Availon off of em. The two shouted. Tegafel pulled eir sword out and went over to Availon. By now, Tegafel could tell that Availon had had eir first orgasm, but the second one was on its way. Tegafel felt the galanfetzcan's pleasure much more clearly now. "Availon, don't! You have to stop it! Don't!" Tegafel grabbed and groped Availon a bit in an attempt to stop eir second orgasm and Availon groaned a bit, but Tegafel failed. Availon's body discharged and ey pulled Tegafel along as well.
After a few moments of recovery, Tegafel said: "What on Earth was that? You people hate each other! Why...?"
"I— I don't know. It's... it was like a dream... I just didn't see anything wrong with it... I-I don't understand." Tegafel could sense the disgust that was building up in Availon's mind. Availon let out a frustrated shout, rolled about and then started pawing eir crotch, trying to clean it.
"Do you think —"
Availon sensed the question immediately. "NO! Half-breeds are not possible! Especially ones between us and them! And ey would need another jinhaliare in order to use me as some carrier!" Availon immediately looked around emself, very concerned that a jinhaliare would spring up and rape em now.
Tegafel got up and went to check on the jinhaliare. Ey was dead now, and after detaching the rope, Availon and Tegafel went back to the tent.
"You told me once that garandals and nacrans make a lot of half-breeds... Why wouldn't it —"
"That is because they are so similar. There is nothing in common with galanfetzcans and jinhaliares. Our reproductive systems are incompatible, we can't produce offspring." In reality, Availon had no clue about it; ey knew well enough that a long time ago galanfetzcans and jinhaliares had been the same but ey could not even guess what was different now and what was not. There was a good chance that their gametes could combine. However, Availon did not want to even think about it. While ey did not even try to make emself believe that it was impossible, ey was so disgusted that ey prohibited emself from thinking about it.
Tegafel did not even have a clue that the galanfetzcans and jinhaliares might have been of the same race a long time ago. "Are you sure?"
"Shut up!"
Tegafel was a bit surprised and taken aback, but figured that it must have been a very disturbing and revolting experience for Availon. Besides, ey had not gotten pregnant from being raped, so ey could not really argue against Availon.
Chapter 19
Ey searched for any person who would need to repay a favor to the chairperson of the ruling council and then sent Tegafel to the chairperson as the repayment. Slavery was was a well-fueled institution in Gaoranola, and even Availon figured that a good-looking whore who could perform bodyguard duties would be a fairly good asset. Ey had to have Tegafel learn to walk without limping, though, and try to hide the huge scars that distracted from eir beauty. Ey then slapped another made-up set of memories on Tegafel's mind—it was very crude, but would do in this situation, since Tegafel would very likely only be scanned enough to find out that ey was not a traitor or far-walker. Availon conditioned em to sneak around the chairperson's residence in the night and let em in.
One definite problem was Availon's far-walker abilities—near
The night came, Tegafel let Availon in and they sneaked around. Tegafel was fairly mindless and did not give cues even to far-walkers. As expected, the chairperson summoned Tegafel into eir bedroom to have sex with em. Availon could not get in so easily since the place was guarded, though most of the guards were of course outside preventing people from getting in in the first place. Eventually Availon made it in, however, and spent a while in hiding and shadows while trying to think up what to do and watching how Tegafel and the chairperson conducted their complicated mating ritual.
Having sex did not require any rituals or much anything, but people of high caste liked to have them whenever possible. Tegafel had not been raised in higher castes and certainly had not ever taken part in any such ritual, but ey knew about them nevertheless, having heard stories about them and been taught about them.
Eventually Availon crept up to the bed while the two femehans were distracted and then touched both Tegafel and the chairperson and made them stop their actions. Ey could still use eir far-walker abilities via touching, though it was very inconvenient and weird. Ey started feeding their minds with more ritualistic love-making while trying to modify the chairperson's views about jinhaliares and the alliance.
Tegafel went once to see Availon in the prison and was fairly happy to see a mistreated, naked and huddled body restrained and crying on the filthy floor of a cell. Availon's hair had been cut off and ey had an X-shaped wound on eir face. Tegafel shouted out some insults that made Availon cry worse. Ey left then, but the image of Availon's slightly grown belly haunted em for a long, long time.
Tegafel spent a couple of days at the hospital being treated, mostly for eir mental injuries. The gecod doctor insisted on treating eir scars as well, covering them with the cooling substance that was supposed to make them better and less visible. Tegafel did not resist.
One of the people in the ruling council decided ey would shelter Tegafel at least for as long as would be required for the judges to decide on the matter with em and Availon. Tegafel did not really care about the issues and instead did something quite radical for em: ey played around and along with the councilor's genicodda who was well on eir way into adolescence and was rather interested in Tegafel. The councilor had originally planned to seduce Tegafel emself, but agreed that the wacod was a more fitting companion for eir children, what with being still quite young and all, so ey did not object and was instead happy for eir genicodda whose virginity Tegafel took in a dark room after a few glasses of wine.
The following day they all celebrated the young genicod's passage into adulthood.
