Author's Note: First of all, I looked back over my Humanoids of the Deep tribute and noticed that there were a lot of words missing, as apparently some things got lost in translation, and I sincerely apologize for that. This is my first attempt at a Warcraft porn story, with a bit of a plot thrown in there just to confuse people.
--------------------
It had started as a niggling of an idea, buzzing in the back of her mind like an errant fly she couldn't shoo away, brought to life by an off-hand comment by one of her sisters. The comment hadn't been anything special, more of a slur than anything about how far the mortals were willing to go for pleasures of the flesh (to be polite about it - her sister had actually said something far more derogatory), but for some reason it had gotten her thinking, thinking about how the mortals races - humans and night elves and such - did seem so taken with mating.
Even the mortals that worked so closely with her and her kin seemed obsessed with lust and mating, oft times slaking their lusts on either each other or a prisoner. After hearing her sister's remark, she had secretly watched several such couplings, noting how the prisoners' hadn't enjoyed it, but the jailers' most certainly
had
. Then she had done the same thing when the mortals who worked with her brethren had mated with each other, noting a marked difference between the two kinds of mating. And that had gotten her thinking even more, so much so that she had even slipped out of the caves and searched out the nearest mortal settlement, spying on it closely until she saw two of the mortals mating.
Yes, there was definitely a difference between the first couplings she'd watched, the second kind she'd observed, and this third kind that she had uncovered. She couldn't make sense of it, really, and that made her start thinking even more when she had returned to the cave. Her thoughts were churning, constantly distracting her with thoughts and questions, observations about what she had seen, and with her curiosity surging, she had begun listening in on the conversations between the mortals working with her kin.
She had stayed hidden during her eavesdropping, and she had learned much, a great deal more than she had suspected, none of which helped in answering her new questions, however. After several weeks of covert listening, she had stumbled upon a conversation that
was
relevant to her thoughts - namely a conversation between two zealots about the various 'attributes' of several of the new female prisoners. It had been...enlightening, to say the least, and she had tried to put her new curiosity over the mating habits of mortals out of her mind.
The curiosity didn't seem to want to leave, however, and soon more thoughts came to her, questions and half-thought ways of answering those questions that she tried to hastily shove out of her mind. Unfortunately the thoughts themselves seemed disinclined to leave her alone, and so she had no choice but to pay them heed, delving deeper into those musings. The thoughts soon and questions soon changed into an idea, and that was where she was forced to draw the line, as the idea was simply preposterous!
She had tried to shove the idea out of her mind, had done everything she could possibly do to ignore it in fact, but no matter how busy she kept herself, the unwanted thoughts kept trickling in. They distracted her, and she soon found herself more preoccupied by her ideas than by her duties, and she had found herself drifting to the side and staying out of the frequent battles that occurred when agents of the Horde and Alliance attacked the caves, instead watching the mortals' movements and taking mental notes on what each gender looked like. No one noticed she hadn't actually participated in the defense as long as she projected the image of being tired and worn after each battle.
Before she knew it, she had compiled a mental list of the things she would need and the best of kind of specimens to get started with, and she had to resist the urge to actually follow through with the idea. There was no possible reason to, aside from sheer curiosity, and for a time she was able to ignore the persistent thought...at least, she had been able to until she made the mistake of spying once more on a zealot's mating with a prisoner, and that brought to mind the differences between the mating instances she had seen once again.
And then she simply couldn't ignore the fledgling idea any longer, and so she had, the next chance she found, slipped out of the caves and got to work on making her idea a reality. She had had to travel far away, to a place where there were none of her kin or other mortals to see what she was doing, but still close enough to mortal settlements and roads that there would be an ample amount of subjects to choose from. The distance from the cave was actually a boon, as none of her kin would have ever thought to search for her in the place she chose to follow through with her idea.
Once she had selected a location, she had begun gathering supplies, taking a few potions, ingredients, and supplies from the stores in the cave one or two at a time so as not to arouse suspicion. She had time to get everything ready, after all, and she had to make sure that none of her kin caught on to what she was doing.
And then the attacks by the Alliance and Horde against the caves became a boon; after all, in the heat of battle who would notice one or two of the enemy vanishing? She had quietly spirited off two females of the race called 'night elves' and three human women over the course of four of the attacks, and those attacking the caves also did her the favor of diverting suspicion away from her.
She had made the mistake of taking too many supplies at once, and some of the zealots in charge of operations in the caves had become suspicious. Fortunately there had been an attack by a group of Horde adventurers the next day, and she had silently planted some of the supplies she had taken on the bodies left behind as the battle had moved further inside the cave. Not all of the bodies she had planted the ingredients on had belonged to the enemy, and when the attackers had withdrawn and the bodies were searched, the zealots in charge had come to the conclusion that the adventurers had looted the stores and some of the lesser-ranked zealots had been skimming from the supplies.
And now, a week later, she smiled slyly to herself as she slipped away from the caves, spreading her wings and taking flight towards where she had set up her little testing ground. She kept to the heavy clouds that covered the sky and promised a large amount of rain so that the violet glow of her form couldn't be seen from the ground, and her mind was already turning over several new ideas that she had come up with while forced to lie low to ensure the suspicion over the missing supplies had abated. Adjusting her course slightly so that she could stick to the clouds and take a slightly circular route to her hideaway, she couldn't help licking her lips as she thought of the experiments she had already performed and the research she had gathered.
Because, when she had first begun observing the mating practices of mortals, she had had no idea of how their bodies actually
worked
