Chapter 1
I did not enter the village. I waited for an invitation.
An older hermaphrodite walked up to me, leaning on her walking stick.
She looked like an older woman with well used muscles. I imagined her standing straight up from her hunch, and I could see she would have towered over the two guards standing beside her.
I clicked on my translator and put it in my ear. We had a few local languages analyzed while in orbit over planet Futanari.
When the old hermaphrodite spoke, the speaker translated the words to English in real time.
She said,
"I am the father of this tribe. In my years, I have made five generations and have spent a hundred wives to make them."
The chief cast her hand towards the village and said,
"What you see here is only my personal settlement. There are many more across the grass. Who are you stranger who spies on us from the tall grass?"
It worried me that they made me before I was ready to reveal myself, but the fact they decided to leave me be while I slept gave me some comfort.
I took out my phone.
I typed what I wanted to say, and the translator remade it in her language.
I said,
"I am from a tribe very far away. I would like our tribes to be friends. I have brought you some obsidian as a humble gift."
The guards stepped back when my phone said these things.
I laid out my pack.
One of the guards stroked the pack, astonished by the texture of the vinyl fabric, and then took out the obsidian eggs.
The chief looked at them and said,
"You are welcome to visit with me. This is an honorable gift."
I said, "Thank you."
The whole village wanted a glimpse of me as we walked down the dirt road obviously made by foot traffic rather than any intentional labor.
I could see distinctions between the hermaphrodites which I could not make out when I was back on my ship looking at satellite streams or even in the grass spying on the village in person.
The young ones all looked as ours do, and the adult ones looked just like women except very tall and with a lean muscular build. They had testosterone enough to make firm jawlines, but not enough to create much more than bushy eyebrows in terms of facial hair. They had enough estrogen to furnish large breasts held up by leather braziers.
The dirt road I walked down divided two plots of yurts densely positioned by one another.
A yurt about twice as big as the others sat in the middle of the road. The Elder opened the flap and gestured me to enter.
Inside, a bunch or naked hermaphrodites moved about the carpeting and around the rock fireplace which was not lit. The sun shone down through a round hole in the top of the yurt illuminating some of the carpet's mosaic design and the fact the fire place was obviously a temporary construction, for the rocks were not cut or mortared.
The chief said,
"My name is Deer Bringer. These are my wives. If you want, you can humiliate one of them."
My earpiece said,
"Humiliate may be a euphemism for sodomy according to our records."
I noticed one of the wives did not have male genitals, which confused me because these people were supposed to all have both sets of reproductive parts. I looked closer, and then I saw the round scar tissue with a symbol branded into it.
She had been castrated.
When I realized this, I panicked for a second, but regained my composure when I realized I am a woman and have nothing to fear of this practice which was evident from the satellite streams.
Deer Bringer pointed at my phone and said,
"We must discus this talking obsidian."
I explained it is a device my tribe has which can translate for us.
Deer Bringer said,
"If you show me how to use that, I will let you take your pick of my wives for yourself."
I said,
"I am honored, but that would be impossible. This is not mine to give you."
Deer Bringer smirked and took a wife from the pile in the dark corer of the yurt and undressed. When the tunic dropped to the floor, it revealed Deer Bringer's body which had full but drooping breasts, which went down into a few rolls of loose skin at the belly which terminated at a penis hanging over a set of testicles.
The penis began to twitch and grow from the size of a well endowed man to a phallus the size of my forearm.
The wife began to struggle against Deer Bringer's grasp, but Deer Bringer brought her down to the rug and began fucking her.
Deer Bringer said,
"This is one of my favorites."
The wife moaned loud and began crying from the penetration.
I affirmed my decision.
Deer Bringer pulled out of the wife, who ran back into the dark corner of the yurt.
The erection pointed at me, and I stepped back in defense against any possible interest Deer Bringer had for me.
Deer Bringer said,
"Very well."
She sat on what looked like a throne, her cock slowly waning back to human proportions.
I asked, where Deer Bringer got these wives.
She said,
"We have been at war with a new tribe from the southern forests."
I said I was interested in buying slaves if Deer Bringer could spare them, but my tribe needed them in tact.
When I said this, Deer Bringer seemed disturbed and asked,
"How will you keep them from breeding with each other?"
I said,
"My tribe is not concerned about that."
Deer Bringer looked at me with a suspicious scowl.
I said,
"I have weapons which can be useful to you. They could help you control this entire steppe."
Deer Bringer said,
"Really? Bring me such a weapon, and I will give you first pick of the captives of our next raid."
I agreed.
Deer Bringer snapped her fingers, and one of the wives started a fire in the hearth.
Deer Bringer said,
"We shall have a feast tonight to celebrate our agreement. Come back by sundown."
When we finished, I left the village and returned to my spying spot.
I called the headquarters and Mark, my manager, answered.
I explained to him what had happened and what Deer Bringer wanted.
He said,
"Great job, Amanda! We'll send down a shipment of tranquilizer rifles tomorrow, and we'll leverage our ammo as a means to keep this agreement self enforcing."
He asked if there was anything I needed, and I said no. That was the end of my report.
When the sun set, I walked back into the village, and saw everyone dancing.
They stopped and stared at me. My white t-shirt, camouflage pants, and synthetic leather boots must have been a confusing sight in the red moonlight.
Deer Bringer came up to me from the crowd and said,
"One of my daughters stole from you. She did not return your bag which was made of a strange grass."
A few hermaphrodites came into the road and brought the guard who had my bag.
I said,
"Oh, I didn't even miss it."
Deer Bringer said,
"Perhaps tonight you may take part in the punishment ceremony."
I asked,
"What kind of punishment?"
Deer Bringer said,
"The village will take turns."
The woman cried out and begged saying,
"Sire! I am your flesh and blood! The stranger does not even miss her bag!"
Deer Bringer smacked her and said,
"You have brought us shame in front of one so powerful as the stranger! You shall suffer the punishment of thieves!"
The hermaphrodites tied Deer Bringer's daughter to a statue of a reared up deer. Her legs were splayed apart and bound up to the statue's hind legs. Her arms were bound to its antlers.
Then, Deer Bringer announced to the village and said,
"Crow Follower has stolen from our guest! Her waste hole is yours for the night!"
Crow Follower cried out in protest, but Deer Bringer initiated the punishment by sodomizing her first.
Deer Bringer ejaculated inside Crow follower's rectum, and another villager had her turn.
I stood in shock.
I said,
"Wasn't she your daughter?"
Deer Bringer said,
"As long as no broken born are made, a father may punish her daughter this way."
Deer Bringer took me on a tour of her camp and we sat in her Yurt, and ate meat from a deer-like animal. The meat was tender and tasted like a stake which had been cooked in garlic that was a little off. I would purge the food later because it was mirror life which would kill me if I ingested it fully.
Deer Bringer asked,
"Why do you want these wives to be in tact?"
I said,
"We need their seed."
Deer Bringer asked,
"Ar your people unable to produce seed yourselves?"
I said,
"It isn't that. The semen of people here takes away pain from my people. I need -- livestock."
Deer Bringer asked details about how this worked, and I told her about the drug my company isolated from hermaphrodite semen and breast milk.
She did not understand.
Deer Bringer said,
"Remember short one, we do not have any extra wives now, and you have not brought us any weapons. I shall keep the next batch of wives we take uncut, but I will castrate you if you try to betray me.
I said,
"We have a deal."
Deer Bringer said,
"I've arranged a place for you to sleep tonight so you don't have to bear the wind."
I said,
"Thank you."
Deer Bringer took me to a small yurt.
I opened the flap and found a bed covered in fur. I could feel the straw packing crunch under my weight as I laid down. I could see the stars through the open top and wondered where Earth was among them.
From outside, I heard fires crackling and laughter, and it all put me to sleep.
I woke up to screaming.
I looked out of the yurt and saw fighting in the dawn lit village.
Deer Bringer clubbed a pale hermaphrodite.
Another pale hermaphrodite flanked Deer Bringer, and struck her on the temple, knocking her out.
I ran out to take Deer Bringer to my yurt, but I felt a blow to my head and blacked out.
