The Primitive King ~ ON HOLD ~

NINETEEN

THE KING

"We spotted a female residing with the Makokclao clan" He began, his bony cheeks sucked into his face.

Huc was a loyal subject, but I didn't enjoy the news that he brought.

"it's been years since we found one... How did we miss her?" He reported his findings, and for this, I wouldn't punish him. 

"Tell me what you've found out," I demanded.

He was nervous, and only managed to explain their investigation with a severe stutter. It was highly impacting my ability to focus on whatever the hell he was trying to get at.

"This is UNACCEPTABLE!" My chest swelled as I bellowed, and found my cheeks red with fury. We couldn't have unbred females walking about when we had the survival of an entire species to consider. Old or young, they would tend to the young or produce them. 

"Gather the men and bring her to me. Feel free to break her in, we can't have any virgins!" I laughed maniacally and decided that I'd help with their endeavor. After all, it had been quite a while since I'd had a new woman. Even the forty breeders we managed to collect from the clans could become tiresome after many years!

After dismissing my subject, I turned to Janu. My favorite whore as of late, who was well studied in the art of lovemaking.

"Janu, my sweet. Give me one of those massages... You know, the ones that start with the feet?" I smirked as her strained smile lit up her face, and reveled in the humiliation it caused her. 

These women were my special sexual pawns. I was successful in increasing the population with my policies, and a man was entitled to compensation for such a brilliant mind. A fun game of chess never hurt anyone...

"Alvara, remember don't touch that!" Cuby shouted right as I was about to collect a particularly eye-catching fungus. I reared back and watched as it ejected a cloud of dust into the air, luckily not close enough to my fingers. The dust cloud weirdly resembled an oil spill with its iridescent circles of color.

I was surprised to learn that many of the flora and fauna was similar to what I've studied of earth, but each had their own unique characteristics that differentiated them.

"Those will eat away your flesh, though they are great for composting. We are looking for happy mushrooms today, not angry ones." He scolded. I rolled my eyes and chuckled at his antics, just because I was naive to this planet's dangers didn't mean I was a child!

It had been a week since that night in Iden's dwelling, and things were heating up between us. It was plain as day that the man was good. Through and through, he had character. He probably was an even better person than me, and it encouraged me to be better...I never saw the appeal of friends in the past. Nevertheless a partner.
