Crypt looked at the mark, trying to understand what it means. He's never seen a female marking a male before. But more than that, he felt...owned. Somehow. But he didn't feel disturbed by the feeling, he felt safe. And the mark, with it's bright yellow colour shined like gems in the sun.
He smiled and turned around to go back into the cave. Inside the cave, Bloom was still asleep. But something appeared on her as well.
A small mark on her forehead. It looked like a small gem, like the one on his mark. The color of the mark was the same as his eyes, and the mark was between her brows.
He approached to look closer at it, but the small mark grew slightly before disappearing. In it's stead, a small snake like rune appeared on her left side, half coiling below her soft mound.
He knew that it was his mark. His heart beat faster. He didn't understand why he was also marked but he couldn't ask her while she was asleep. Thus he decided to wait.
Inside her space, Rhaëlya struggled to understand what was going on. And also, why she felt like that when she orgasmed last night. It was a new sensation, one she wasn't used to.
[Well of course, what you released last night was seeds. Not simply fluid like what you're used to, but something similar to sperm.]
"...care to explain how that's possible?" She asked, even more dumbfounded now.
[Remember when I told you that here males can get impregnated? That's how it happens. Of course, you can choose to carry your offspring yourself, however, after I analyzed your files, it shows that you're strongly against carrying a child in your womb. Thus leading to us making a small modification in your body while you were unconscious in my office so that you can impregnate your mates.]
"And how will the men get pregnant? And the women as well? You said that my mates' gender doesn't matter right?"
[Indeed. I'll simplify this as much as I can. Here males are born with both constitutions in a way. They can both impregnate and get impregnated. All of this was decided by the gods of this realm after the great extinction millions of years ago, in order to keep this realm alive.
And since females are rare here, males had to adapt. Some males cannot get impregnated but you're special. Regardless of whether they were born with a womb or not, they'll still be able to carry and give birth to your offspring as long as you wish for it.]
"That doesn't truly answer my questions..."
[Aish let me finish!]
"Okay okay grandpa go ahead." She rolled her eyes while muttering.
[(｀_´メ)] The screen showed an angry keyboard made face before Ariel sighed and started typing again.
[When you release yourself on one of your male partner, your seed will enter him through his meatus* then it will forcibly open his womb before installing itself in it and start growing into an offspring combining both your features and his.]
"Oooh...then what about my future female partners?" She asked, curiously.
[...You surely don't sound the slightest bit surprised nor hesitant about this whole situation huh?]
"Well, what would it change? If I were completely closed off to what you were telling me to do about spreading my seed or whatnot, would it have allowed me to get home faster?" She asked in an annoyed voice.
[Fair. But still, aren't you at least a tiny bit scared? Panicked?]
"No. Simply because it wouldn't change anything to my situation. What I need to do now is to focus on the missions given to me while actively thinking of a way home. If I find a way home before completing the missions, great. If I don't, at least I advanced in the mission. Good." She rambled, in a cold and monotone voice. Her eyes calm and calculative.
She cannot be blamed. She's always been like this, different. When she was a child, her mother told her that she wouldn't cry unless she was hungry. Whether she was hit, bit or put in a scary situation, she'd only silently observe. And as she grew up, it only got worse.
Loneliness didn't bother her. And her parents could see that she was capable of interacting with other children and make friends but she'd only do it when she wanted something, and she preferred to stay back and observe instead of participating in anything.
When they took her to get checked, they went to multiple specialists just to make sure. They put her on an antisocial disorder spectrum. They couldn't find what was truly wrong with her, well, they couldn't find a name for it, so they put her on a spectrum.
She wasn't diagnosed with ASPD but she wasn't considered neurotypical either.
[Anyway, to go back to your questions about how your future female partners will be able to get impregnated by you.
Basically you have two choices. The first is that you perform a typical intercourse between two women without any penetration and in that case, your seed will still get inside her as long as you do it often enough.
Or the second option, we give you a pill that will make you have a male genitalia for a few hours in order to mate with her and impregnate her.]
"...Well that's...weird..." She remarked, a bit shaken. She wanted to try that second option solely out of curiosity. She was still a science maniac in the end.
[That's the best we can do to help make this journey as easy on your spirit as possible.]
"Yeah sure. Saying that after forcing me into this is insane actually but it can't be helped now I guess."
She sat up from the grass on which she was sitting and took a long look at what was around her. She truly didn't feel like leaving this space. It was peaceful here.
But she had to wake up and get on with that stupid quest now. After all, winter was just around the corner.
Just as she was leaving her space, Azrakai came to her cave entrance with a basket full of fruits and a fresh prey on his shoulder.
Crypt wasn't annoyed by his presence this time since he was already mated. That didn't mean that he liked him, it only meant that he tolerated him.
