Rhaya
"Get the hell out of there," the man yelled, poking her with a stick.
He reached into the cage as she coward into the corner, but she had nowhere to run. "Fucking Khavi piece of shit," he shouted, snatching the shackles at her wrist before he yanked her out violently
She tried to use her tentacles for support, but they were mere lumps of flesh after they had cut all four when they captured her a few hours ago.
She kissed the floor hard, her cheek cut by a sharp rock before the man yanked her up on her feet. She was roughly half his size, but she should have been much taller for her age. There was something wrong with her and that's why she spent so much time outside the Khavi's secret underground city. This is also why she got captured.
"Khavi!" the man yelled, holding her shoulder firmly. "Rare young Khavi for sale!"
"I'm not young," she muttered through clenched teeth.
"How much," a man wearing fancy clothes said.
"Five Crowns! Only Five Crown for this incredibly rare Khavi."
"I never heard of those," the fancy dressed man said.
"That's because they are rare my friend," the man said, yanking her head back.
Her mane like fins almost joined at the back of her head and pulling on them was painful. She yelped.
"Look at this cute little face," the man said. "Isn't she the prettiest little humanoid you ever saw?"
"I must admit she is quite a delight for my eyes," the fancy dressed man said. "What are they good for?"
"When you take them young enough like this one," the man said, shoving her to the ground before putting his feet on her chest to pin her. "They can be tamed easily through sex. These little fuckers are insatiable and once they get a taste of you, they'll keep asking for more. It's a treat to them and they'll grow so fund of you they'll become loyal for it."
The man pushed her loincloth aside. "She will grow a penis soon as well," the man said. "When she does, she will be a beast in bed."
The fancy dressed man snarled and walked away.
"They have tentacles too! I cut them so she wouldn't run away, but they grow back fast!" He sighed angrily. "Do you see what you did?" The man shouted as he stumped at her crotch hard.
She puffed and curled up as he stumped at her again, hitting her hips instead.
He kicked her twice in the flank before tossing her back in the cage.
She crumpled as far back as possible, curled into a ball and cried.
'Why is this happening to me,'
she wondered.
'Why am I so different?'
She wiggled the four lumps in her back as though it would help them grow back any faster, but mainly to brush off the constant pain of them growing. It would take roughly three days for them to reach full length, growing just about one centimeter per hour. They were roughly twelve centimeters long now.
"You're a freak Rhaya," her sister always said to her. "Mom shouldn't have done it with a Dragon, it's forbidden!"
Unlike most creatures across many worlds, the Khavi is one of the rare that can procreate with almost any other kind that produces bodily fluids with DNA in it.
Rhaya never found anyone who could tell her exactly 'why' Dragons were on a very short list of exclusion, but her thirty years old body locked in Khraliss phase was the obvious conclusion.
All Khavi undergoes three stages in life; Khra, which is the same as what human calls a newborn baby. They come out the same way as humans, although the process is apparently a lot less painful for them than it is to human, some say even enjoyable.
The Khra's skin color is sky blue and glow faintly in the dark, just like their bodily fluids. They have no gender at all and no butt holes either. Their body consumes everything they are fed, usually breast milk, a lot of it and the occasional fruits or vegetables the parent would feed them.
They grow almost three centimeters per day until they reach approximately one meters in height with a variation of no more than five centimeters. Their tentacles will grow at the same time, always matching their height in length, but never more, never less. The cycle ends after approximately one month, when the vagina and butt holes appear during the last two days of this period, but no penis. Their skin also darkens a little and shades of green appears within.
Their height and weight stay the same, as though locked for a decade afterwards. They call it Khraliss; teenagers for the humans, but it also means a sponge in their language when not referring to a living being.
Their capacity to learn is unmatched during this period. Their brain is like a sponge for knowledge and they will remember everything with perfect clarity. Their capacity for reasoning and logic varies greatly, just like it does in Humans, but that ability gives them quite an advantage for fast learning.
Most of them will learn magic spells, fighting techniques, war strategy, history and more. The Khavi historians are known to be the best in the world, but only if they dedicate their Khraliss time to read and learn everything about the world's history before they mature.
A single decade. That's all the time that they have at their disposal to learn anything before they mature into the age of passion, they call this phase: Khwaaty.
The Khavi will wake up one day and find his breasts and penis had grown overnight. They will crave an enormous amount of food but will yearn for sex even more. They will seek any other Khavi in their Khwaaty phase and have sex ten to twenty times per day, stopping solely to feed and sleep. They will experiment in all forms of sexual pleasure with various partners, tasting each other and getting to know each other at the same time until they find what, and who make them tick the most.
Sometimes it means two Khavi will become exclusive to each other, but they will usually form a small Pack of three to six members, which will become their family until they die.
This lifestyle of passion will last for another decade, and unless forced to work for food, most Khavi will rely on their parental pack to take care of them during this period. They are completely infertile during this phase of their life. The nature of the Khavi causes them to become addicted to the ones they experiment with during that time, but that addiction can still happen at any later time if they discover a new partner, or partners.
During the Khwaaty phase and mostly after, since they don't really mind it during, their learning capacity simply fade away. It's the opposite of the Khraliss age. They can't remember anything pertinent and it's a constant struggle to remember even a person's name.
Everything they say, everyone they meet, everything they are told and everything they learn will fade away within a few days, unless they repeat it, read it from notes they wrote down for that purpose, or stay in contact with that person before the memory fades.
Their body changes one last time around their twentieth birthday and they will grow twice as tall, reaching an average of two meters in height, give or take ten centimeters, and their weight will triple. Their tentacles will grow as well, matching their height. Their sex drive will almost completely disappear, reducing them to the average human like craving for sex, some more than others.
In that last phase, they are fertile and can procreate with each other or with just about any living beings.
