Near our home village lived a tribe of beautiful but savage and deadly women. They granted us mercy but demanded that every moon we leave out a male tied to a tree on the outskirts of the village. No male ever came back alive.
I was the last one left. I volunteered, but my poor distraught mother had to be held back she was so upset. I tearfully said goodbye to everyone as I was tied to the tree and they went back to the village.
The moon rose and so did the women from the tribe. They surrounded me and greeted me all friendly and warmly. I was surprised. I thought they were savages! One thing the stories didn't get wrong though: They were extremely beautiful.
They brought me back to their home and took off all my clothes. One by one they got on top of me and moved around really strangely. It made me grow down there when they did it, and when that happened they would quickly swallow it up and move in a fast frantic way until my body froze and I felt something drain from me. I had no idea what it was.
When one was finished she got off and the next one immediately got on top of me and started the whole process again. This happened dozens and dozens of times. They started talking about me. They started saying stuff to me like "are you sure you're not tired?" and I would shrug, not knowing what they were talking about. They would then smile and giggle with glee. They looked so happy.
They kept me for days. At one point they came up to me and said "It's time" and I suddenly remembered something. After a few days of a male from our village being taken, they would come back but as a pile of clothes and bones. I started getting scared.
I was confused when they treated me even more nicely. "Here take this letter" they said, "When we bring you home, give that to whoever is in charge". I scratched my head and nodded. They never sent a letter back before...
When I got home everyone thought it was a miracle! Then they saw the letter which said "Please bring this boy back next moon". It was very strange but I went back out next month.
The women came for me again and were delighted to see me. They pointed out that many of them were now bearing my children and they wanted me to give them even more children. They brought me back for another round...
