AC: This is the first short story of Chaotic I'll make. It will focus more on the M'arrillian tribes since most of the others focused on the other tribes.


Short story 1: Who laid eggs?

After chapter 17

A while passed since Remi became friend with Blak'drin. They were currently talking together. They always spoke alone in the place their first met. They do this time to time when Gal'Drad was busy working and arguing with the other members of the Council than had some moment with Remi.

"I have to thank you again for what you have done for me," the M'arrillian said. He was more cheerful than the first time they've met. He wasn't completely over it since he still didn't try to find a mate.

"I just did what was right," Remi replied.

"You are a weird Chaotic player Remi," Blak'drin learned his name after a while.

"I know. A lot of people said that."

Remi chuckled.

"Do you have a mate?"

Remi coughed at the question. He didn't expect the question at all.

"No. I don't have a mate," Remi cheeks turned red.

"At least, no one broke your heart," the M'arrillian commented.

"I don't really search for one, to be honest. I just haven't found the right one and I'm easily distracted when someone needs help."

"You shouldn't do that." Blak'drin commented. "You should find someone who will love you back, not like me who followed the heart, it is blind and it ended up broken in pieces."

"...Maybe you're right." Remi said looking down.

"That's just personal experience. The right one is still waiting for me."

They said nothing for a while. They were taking about mate and that brought a question in the mind of Remi.

"I am curious about your tribe Blak'drin. I have a question, but let's forget about it. It's too personal. I don't even dare ask Gal'Drad." Remi said. He felt stupid to think about it now.

"You can ask. I have survived a war, your question will not be that bad," the M'arrillian replied.

Remi hesitated. His mouth moved, but no words were coming out.

"I was wondering how you have child." Remi said looking the other way.

"Just that," the M'arrillian replied surprised. He chuckled and wondered why he was hesitating. "I thought it was more. Of course, you don't want the gruesome detail. I was wondering it too, about every tribe and especially Chaotic player."

"What do you mean?" Remi asked uncertain.

"A few M'arrillians were wondering about it. How human sexuality works. I heard a lot of rumor and supposition about your kind," Blak'drin said with his own set of curiosity. It was clear some of them were ugly when the M'arrillian had a spasm.

"What...kind of rumor?" Remi asked unsure of what they might imagine.

"You don't want to know the worse one. The one that seemed to reach a consensus is that one: you laid eggs."

Remi coughed for a while when he heard that. He couldn't say anything.

Blak'drin laughed when he saw his reactions.

"Guess they were wrong. They based that because you are so fragile that having a formed being will kill you."

Remi stopped coughing.

"We are mammals. We don't leg eggs." Remi said not over what they guessed.

"Closer to most of the other tribes except the Danians." Blak'drin noted.

"Anything else they might got wrong. I don't want you to have bad ideas about me." Remi said his face completely red.

"Female had kids. It is easy to see it when compared to the other tribes." Blak'drin said.

"Yeah," Remi hoped it was over.

"About the mating process, how do you-"

"I won't go in there." Remi cut him in midsentence. His face was red and covered in sweat; it was the worse subject of his life.

"Virgin too."

Remi nodded.

"I forgot about the question you ask." Blak'drin said.

Remi eyes went smaller. He forgot he asked the question and he knew the worse was coming when he said about what they believed about humans. If they imagined that, he didn't want to know. He still went over the question about mating.

"Forget about it." Remi said.

"Nono. You told me, I'll tell you." Blak'drin said. Remi hated for a moment the definition of being fair. "The Kha'rall had kids by laying eggs. Not a lot of eggs, around five to ten, that's how we do it. M'arrillians doesn't all reproduce the same way. Fluidmorpher are different than use and Chieftain too. There is no crossbreed between us. The reason is pretty clear."

Remi was glad it wasn't that abnormal and he didn't explained more with the other tribes. He didn't want to know how Gal'Drad did it.

"There is one major difference with the danians." Blak'drin said.

Remi didn't want to know, but curiosity won over his desired of ignorance. He didn't stop him.

"The big difference is about who laid eggs. For Kha'rall, we males are the one who laid the eggs." Blak'drin said. "Of course, the female jumped on us and (Censured) us when it's mating time."

He looked at Remi and he had his mouth opened. He was silent. Blak'drin passed his pincer in front of his face.

"Remi. Remii. Helloooo."

Blak'drin tried to gain his attention. He obtained nothing. He gave a small push and Remi just slipped on the ground. He didn't move.

Remi was traumatizing by the image in his mind. He was there for half hour before he just finished processing it. If Gal'Drad was there, he would have obliterate Blak'drin.

Remi learned something that day. Never ask a creature how they have children. It might be a very disturbing answer. It wasn't like last time with Aval'par.


AC: This is the end of the first short stories.

Next short stories: Explain Hentai to Aval'par and he'll...

The title is self-explanatory. It's the reference at the end.

The third one also in mind: You caught something.

Flashback when Gal'Drad and Remi were in the village of the Overworld.

The fourth one: The wonders of hamburgers.

Gal'Drad, Aval'par and Blak'drin tasted some human junk food.

I'll put some of them when I had ideas or suggestions.
