The sun rises much earlier here, and sets much later. I finish my final extraction in the evening though the sun still hangs high in the sky. The queue of people to be bred is gone, and I see Acerva and the technician talking to each other. Acerva sees me and walks to me.
"How was it?" she asks.
"Good, as always. Hope they are fruitful."
"I hope so too. Do you feel prepared for the festival tonight?"
"I'm dead tired, but it would be rude of me to not show up, wouldn't it?"
Acerva laughs.
"Your attendance isn't compulsory. But it would be nice if you did."
"Well, let's have a look anyways."
The Selurian commune consists of several Houses, which were basically villages spread out over the valley. In the center of the valley is House Renerva, where the festival is to be held.
"So uh...what do you actually do during this festival?"
"Well, there's lots of food..." Acerva says.
"Oh great, because I'm starving,"
"And there is the Arousing."
"The what?"
"Arousing. A ceremony dedicated to the Breeder. A display of our most fertile women, meant to arouse and excite him."
"Jesus. I'm not required to breed them right?"
"Of course not. Just relax and enjoy the show."
By the time we reach the center of the valley the festivities are in full swing. I hear a chorus of noise as I approach. People gather to see me, and I smile awkwardly and greet them. This kind of treatment sometimes made me feel like a zoo animal rather than a celebrity, but I am slowly getting used to it.
"Welcome, Master Breeder," a woman says as she slowly walks up to me. She is completely nude, her body glistening with either oil or sweat or both. There seems to be some sort of vine tied around her waist, and small berry like fruits hang from here. Right, I thought. Fertility. Fruitfulness. Pretty easy to guess what this is about. A coterie of women, all garbed in the same manner join her and bow to me.
Prime examples indeed. They were all perfectly proportioned and very fuckable. My cock, though tired from the breeding today, seems to stir to life. I walk to a verandah that has been set up for me and sink into the soft cushion.
"Aroused, Ryan?" Acerva asks, clearly noticing my erection.
I laugh. "They're hot," I say.
"They are all fertile and available for breeding should you wish to take any one of them as your chattel," says Acerva.
"Chattel? Like what, uh, a slave?"
Acerva nods.
"A tradition from long ago. Males were always in short supply this far north, and as such were afforded great privileges, including the ability to take possession of whoever they wanted."
"Jesus. They want me take them? What am I supposed to do with them?"
"Anything you wish, I suppose."
Even though Acerva assures that I am not required to do so, the thought is tempting. Everyone begins to quiet down now. The Arousing is about to begin.
I see the group of fertile Selurians lining up in front of me.
"May you find what you see pleasing, and may you claim those who you wish," they all chant in unison.
They begin their dance while singing a song in a language I do not understand. It is an old tongue, Acerva says, very few still speak it. But she explains it is the story of when life was first created from the seed of the first Breeder. They link their arms and gyrate their bodies in synchronicity.
So they really did worship breeders, I think.
They turn their backs to me now, their asses facing me. It is truly eye candy of the highest order and my cock is twitching hard now. I am sorely tempted to claim one of them right there and then.
They drop to the ground, arching their asses up. Their pussies are on display to me now, and they start to masturbate. Their moans fill the air as they finger their pussies, as if in a competition to see who comes first.
I turn to Acerva to ask her what the deal behind this is when I see that she too is fingering herself. Her fingers are pressed deep into her clit, vibrating rhythmically. Her eyes are closed and her body contorts. I have never seen her like this before.
I look around me. Everyone else is either sitting or lying on the grass now. Even Renerva, the Leader of Seluria, is doing the same, looking at me with a look of lust, fingering herself and rubbing her tits.
Fuck, this is crazy. I can't contain myself anymore at the sight and sounds of them. I retract my suit and walk up to the nearest dancer who is still masturbating, move her hand aside and slip my cock right into her. She lets out a loud moan and then begins singing in that strange language again.
This is new to me. I have never fucked someone who was singing while I was pounding her. Her song ocassionally breaks and wavers as my force grows. The cacophony of moans and screams fill me with a primal lust. I reach out to pull both her hands from behind, pulling her deeper into my thrusting cock.
"Fuck!" I yell out. I drop her hands and slap her asscheecks. This isn't just breeding now. This was me having my way, showing what a Breeder can do. I am close to cumming.
I look at the Selurian I'm fucking. Her eyes are half open, as if in a trance and her song now is barely a whisper. Her face is full of dirt and grass. I am literally fucking her into the ground.
I come, and moan out load. My thrusting stops as I let out a deep breath. And with that, they all begin to slow down and stop pleasuring themselves. I look around. Many of them are lying down, writhing in the grass.
"Th-thank y-you, Mm- Master Breeder," the Selurian I fucked says. My cock is still inside her and I gently caress her ass, satisfied with my work.
"You're welcome. May you be fruitful," I say.
I withdraw my cock and she slumps to the ground. Renerva walks up to me. I can see she is very tired, her face is flushed. Behind the lines on her face and her grey hair, I can see the resemblance to her daughter.
She kneels down and cups her hands around my balls. She whispers what I think is some sort of prayer.
"Are you pleased with the Arousing?" she says after finishing it.
"Yes, I am."
"You may choose anyone of us to be your chattel. It is a privileged offered by Selurians to the Master Breeeders in our land."
"Thank you, I will consider it," I say.
Renerva bows again and leaves. I see others slowly getting up, stumbling away. The woman I fucked is carried away by others. I must have something still left in the tank because she is clearly still in the throes of a seed-induced orgasm.
I return to Acerva, who is sitting on the grass and waiting for me.
"First time I saw you pleasuring yourself," I say.
"It is tradition for everyone at the Arousing to do so," she says.
"Oh, you seemed quite turned on though," I say, teasing her.
She smiles.
"I was, yes. The dancers are indeed attractive, and their movements do excite me."
"I should learn to dance like that too."
"That would be something rather unsuited to you, Ryan."
"Ouch," I say and notice now she seems tired.
"Need some help?" I offer. She nods.
I help her up and we head back to our hover transport. The sun is now setting and the air cools. Lights start to flicker to life from the houses around us.
"Your mother...is she well?" I ask Acerva.
"Why do you say that?"
"She just seems a little ill."
Acerva is silent for a few moments.
"Yes, she is. She has an illness that is common among those who are older."
I know that they naturally had a really long lifespan, equivalent to our hundreds of years. But that did not make them immune to dying early from sicknesses.
"Don't you have medication for that?"
"We do, yes, but Seluria is far away from the Capital. My mother is stubborn. She will not leave her land to seek treatment there."
Our transport lands. I see my home for the next few months - the commune of Jeresha. It is a small collection of rustic looking houses that seem to be made half out of wood and half out of metal - boxes of two contrasting halves fused together.
Acerva and I step out and are hit by a cool breeze that rustles the leaves in the thick forest we are now in. I can feel my suit heating up to compensate for the sudden chill, but my face and hands are exposed and they numb slightly at the blast of cold.
A woman walks up to us and we both greet her.
"Greetings, Master Breeder and Intermediary Acerva. We are humbled to have you in our commune. I am Unaceal, Head of House Jeresha."
Unaceal looks much younger than the other House Leaders I've seen, and as she extends her palms to greet us her fur coat slips aside and reveals her breasts. I see tattoos on them - the very first I've seen on the people here. I make a mental note to ask her about this next time.
"Thank you for having us. I hope my request has not inconvenienced your people."
Unaceal laughs.
"Aside from having to turn away scores of people from trying to see you, no, you haven't inconvenienced us much."
"I see. Thank you, once again."
"You will be placed with one of our commune residents," Unaceal says.
A woman walks up to me, holding the hand of much younger girl.
"I am Thealu, and this is my daughter, Setralu."
"Greetings and thank you for allowing me to stay at your home," I say to Thealu though I am eyeing her daughter. This is my first time seeing the child of an extractor. Her skin is much fairer than her mother, probably the result of her father.
Her mother, I guess, would be around Renerva's age. I see a strands of gray in her hair, but still an amazing, flawless body. Setralu's body is just as incredible with well-developed breasts and a wisp of hair in between her legs. I look at her with a smile, trying to look as friendly as possible, but her eyes glance elsewhere, avoiding my gaze.
