You have offered me your fire. I offer you a story.
You asked of the mad river first. They say the souls of the dead are trapped in its currents. Lost and driven insane with loneliness and despair, they entice thirsty travellers. When the unwary pilgrim touches the water, the dead take their hand and pull them into the river to join them. Their living souls are entwined with the dead and washed together into the haunted sea, trapped for eternity.

Unnatural Instinct: Amazon
In your world, women are the dominant sex. You fight, hunt and defend while the men nurture your children and keep you happy. That is until an Earth man stumbles into your camp and turns everything upside down. It is common knowledge that women are the more capable sex: powerful, ambitious, intelligent. Big and strong, you're built to hunt and fight, while the men make good nurturers and loving partners. It has been this way for generations. On a scouting mission, you capture a man lurking around your border. He is not like the others, strangely dressed and spouting ridiculous claims that men should be treated equally with women. Nonsense, as far as you're concerned. But when the marauding Northerners threaten your tribe, you are forced to reconsider. Perhaps the stranger is right; perhaps men are much more than what they seem. The problem is, have you realised it too late? Part 7 of the Unnatural Instinct Series: the hard and fast, wacky and naughty sexual encounters between humans and their monstrous or magical lovers.
