"No, beast is not a good name," Khell replied. His long tail twitched behind him, expressing his agitation. So, Embersoul here was a guardian of the planet. It made sense now why the forest transported him to that glowing oasis. The plants more or less offered Khell to the guardian as a sacrifice, and now here he was swollen with eggs.
Again, he tried turning his head away, but the mantis kept him firmly in place. Bit by bit, Khell was succumbing to the feedings, but he still had some fight left in him. The nectar pooled into his gravid gut. It surrounded his clutch of eggs, keeping them cushioned until they absorbed all of it and Embersoul had to feed him more. Granted, the nectar kept Khell fed as well. He'd not felt hungry or thirsty once since the mantis impregnated him.
"Womb of the planet?" he echoed after the mantis finished feeding him. The way Embersoul described it, Khell could look forward to a lifetime of giving birth to flora and fauna alike here on Drecuvis. "Can't the animals and plants on this planet reproduce for themselves? With each other? Why do I have to be the one?"
