Mosy brings the law. |
During the early years of her life, Tara had no idea that she would have to leave her homeland. Tara grew up in the area around what we know as Mount Elbrus in what Tara knew as "Eland". Sadly, "Eland" is a rather goofy mis-translation of a word from a lost language that originally referred to a folk hero known as Eolir.
Tara the Ta (Part 1 of the Mosy Saga)
Tara and Ila |
Ila was instantly there beside Tara, rubbing his face against her. Tara knew that Ila was thinking about apples. They had come to harvest apples from the orchard of Idari which had first been cultivated by one of Tara's distant ancestors. Tara began to bind Ila into his leather harnesses and she told him, "We'll grab a few apples but then, haste! In a dream I saw my aunt and cousins from Rata... I must speak to Brita before she sees mother..."
Hyhy the bryg'Dra |
While Ila ate, Tara wandered through the orchard, checking on the young trees. Each tender young tree was protected by what Tara thought of as a tree guard. As a Ta, Tara had been taught that these tree guards were an important import from Norsun; a type of wire mesh that protected the plant from grazing animals. With practice, Tara had learned how to resonate her mind with the Tree guards, allowing her to perceive them an a fine network of wires.
In reality, each tree guard was a sophisticated system that used nanotechnology to generate and release chemical repellents that protected the trees from both insects and the herds of deer that roamed the highlands. Also, the nanite components of the tree guards acted to channel moisture to the roots of the trees and they produced heat when tender buds were in danger from frost. To the eyes of an unsuspecting human, the tree guards might be perceived through peripheral vision as a fuzzy mist, but upon closer inspection by most Earthling, the nanite components of the tree guides were programmed to shift their shape and strive for invisibility.
As a Ta in training, Tara had been taught by her aunt Brita to unfocus her eyes and use her telepathic mind to perceive the shifting swarm of nanites the formed each tree guard. Now, under star light, each sapling seemed to be caught up in a faintly glowing network of nanites. Tara was delighted to walk among the faintly sparkling orchard, vaguely wondering about the mystery of nanites, but her mind was in flames, burning with the startling revelation of the future that had arrived in her dream vision.Hy the Rep |
In that dream vision, HyHy had shifted "his" form and took on the physical form of a human woman. Tara knew that sometimes Hyhy appeared among the people of Eland in the form of a Rep named Hy. However, as Tara's lover, Hyhy had -so far- only appeared to her and engaged in sexplay while using the physical form of the horse Ila.
In her dream vision of Hyhy, Tara had made love to the brag'Dra beside a pool in a desert oasis. Tara was vaguely aware of the idea that there were great deserts in distant lands, but having grown up in Eland, Tara had never actually experienced desert conditions. Tara suspected that in some future time she would visit a desert and at that time Ila would revel his true form to her. For now, Tara was content to occasionally slip off into the hills and engage in sexplay with Ila, who was quite gentle while thrusting his big penis into Tara's back-side vagina, her allzaurish.
As a Ta, Tara had never questioned the fact that she had two vaginas. That was convenient for her lover Ila, but all part of the larger mystery of how she was fed by nanites and her bodily wastes were removed by nanites. Tara had never defecated or urinated; she thought of her allzaurish only as an organ for the generation of sexual pleasure, which is what it had been carefully designed for. Similarly, Tara did not doubt that at least some of Hyhy's six breasts had been designed specifically for sexplay.
The Idari and Rata valleys. |
Tara had to guide Ila away from the home of her parents. "I need to speak to aunt Brita, but you'll be home by this evening, my friend." In her thoughts, Tara adjusted that; replacing "friend" with "lover"... but she had vowed to never speak of the Ta practice of using the sex hormones from horse semen as a way to stimulate Ta telepathic powers. Now the sun was high in the sky and finally Tara saw her relatives coming up the trail. Tara told the horse, "It is Alay and Paya!" Her two cousins had seen Tara and were running towards her. When the two young girls were within reach, Tara threw her arms around them. After a flurry of childish kisses, Tara boosted Paya up onto Ila's back.
They continued down the trail to where her aunt Brita and her cousin, Rawa, were leading the pack animals up the trail. Alay told Tara, "Rawa told us you were coming."
Brita, Rawa, Alay and Paya. |
Paya called to Rawa, "Ila is here, too."
Rawa called to Tara, "No, I did not tell them that you were eating Ila, ah, with Ila." This was the talkative Rawa that Tara never knew how to deal with. Fortunately Alay and Paya could not imagine the sexual relationship that Tara had with Ila.
Rawa and Brita deployed their pack animals along the bank of the river where they could drink and then they hugged Tara. When Rawa kissed Tara on the mouth, they became telepathically linked. Their thoughts swirled with the sensations of their memories of recent orgasms and the spicy taste of Ila's semen and that of Rawa's husband.
While Tara and Rawa slowly pulled their tongues out of each others mouths, Brita asked Tara, "Have you told your parents?"
Tara had seen in Rawa's mind that Rawa had also received a recent dream vision and knew that Tara had selected her own husband. Tara replied, "I have not. I need your help. If you bless the union then my parents will finally accept it."
Brita told Rawa, "Take the children and the animals on ahead." As soon as the little caravan was on its way, Brita told Tara, "There can be no doubt in what you saw?"
Banduy |
Brita took hold of Tara's arms and demanded, "You are claiming the Min Orne?"
"Yes, this will be the Min Orne. But even that is nothing!" Tara lifted herself up on her tip toes and told Brita, "I have seen far into the future. Our mind powers... the powers of Ta... are needed far away, far in the future. It will be many generations before my mission is complete." Tara faltered, then resumed in a quiet voice, "I think I am immortal."
Brita was stunned. "Immortal?"
I have seen myself in a future time... I don't even know how to explain what I have seen..." They began walking up the trail towards the home of Tara's parents. Tara tried to explain her dream vision. "I will have many husbands, but eventually I will meet a man named Mosy. That is... my life, my task. I must change the fate of Mosy and... the whole world."
Brita was struggling to accept that the prophesy of the the Min Orne had arrived during her lifetime, in the form of Tara. She wondered: was immortality possible? Brita laughed nervously and suggested, "Maybe you have been eating too much horse semen."
Tara laughed. "Too much? Is that possible?" As part of her training as a Ta, Brita had tutored Tara on the art of semenphagy. There was something in semen that amplified the telepathic abilities of the Ta, making it possibly for the Ta to share memories and thoughts and even have visions of the future.
Brita reminded Tara, "If you depart from Eland for the Min Orne, then I will have to make Rawa the Tarawa. You will lose the thread of Ta."
In the future that Tara had seen, the thread of Ta moved with her, to the south and away from the land of El. However, Tara could not bring herself to say that to Brita. "Do what you must with your daughter, but do what I need you to do with your sister. Zule must be my husband... I have seen it... Zule is my husband." She added in her own thoughts: Zule has always been my mate.
Tara in Norsun |
Brita shook her head, causing the sunlight to shimmer on her dark flowing hair. Tara had seen herself in the future, but she had never seen herself with dark hair. It was a feature of her tribe that the children often had golden hair, but then their adult hair darkened, as had been the case for Brita.
Brita had raised her sister's son, Zule for the past five years. "Banduy is not going to want to hear this." Brita could telepathically sense that Tara's emotions were burning like fountains of sparks and the girl was enthralled by her dream vision of the future. Once again, Brita tried to imagine how Tara had, at a young age, discovered for herself the importance of the hormones in horse semen. Normally a Ta was not initiated into the art of sexplay with horses until the age of twenty, but Tara had begun to engage in equine semenphagy before the age of fifteen. Brita had done her best to provide sexual training to Tara, but she feared that Tara often could not control herself and frequently over-dosed on the potent hormones in Ila's semen.
And what could be said about the tale Tara had told... how a mysterious woman had haunted Tara's dreams and inspired Tara to engage in sexplay with Ila? Now everything that was odd and unprecedented about Tara made sense..... she was to make the prophesied journey to Norsun.Now they were coming up the rise out of the flood plain and towards the house where Tara and Zule had grown up together. Brita saw her sister, Banduy, drawing water from the well for the animals.
Tara's mysterious initiation. |
Brita had not argued with her sister. In her case, Brita simply did not want to imagine a future in which Tara would leave Eland. So Brita had conspired with Banduy to keep Tara and Zule apart. Now Banduy called to Tara, "Why so few apples?" She was holding a half-full sack of apples and a half dozen empty sacks.
Tara hugged her mother and explained, "I had another dream." She gathered together the unused apple sacks, feeling no shame for not completing the mundane chore that had provided her an excuse to visit the remote orchard. It was only in isolation from the noise of other human minds that Tara could efficiently tune her mind to the mysterious flow of information from the future.
Banduy glanced at Brita who said, "We need to talk."
Banduy instructed her two youngest children (the boys Dale and Ook) to work with Alay and Paya to finish preparing the cookout dinner that had been planned in anticipation of the arrival of Brita and her children. Banduy took Tara and Brita into the cool sub-floor of the house. Brita immediately got to the point, "Tara has received the Min Orne."
Banduy lit an oil lamp and then looked back and forth between Tara and Brita. She placed a hand on Brita's head and closed her eyes. When in physical contact, the two sisters could share a week linkage of their minds. Slowly, Banduy said, "You seem quite certain."
Potina and Tara |
Tara asked her mother, "Where is Phry?"
"Your father was called off to the vineyards. There is some problem or debate over the sugaring."
Tara continued, "He should be hearing this, but I will tell you first. I have seen the future. Zule is my husband and we will travel to Norsun and make that our new homeland."
Banduy hung her head and quietly wept. After a time, Tara asked, "Mother, will you give us your blessing?"
Banduy wiped her eyes and asked her own question. "How can I give you to your brother? I have already wed him to his cousin, Potina."
Brita explained, "Zule and Potina are lovers, but I have never wed them, so Zule is still available to Tara. And remember, Tara and Zule claimed each other long ago... before you tried to create a match of Zule to Potina."
Tara proclaimed, "I have seen it; Potina will be like my sister! She will travel the Min Orne with Zule and I." Tara had seen herself as the Ta of Norsun and knew that she would give Potina to Zule as his second wife. In fact, it was Potina who would give birth to Zule's first child, soon after their arrival in Norsun. However, Tara did not want to explain any of those details to her mother. And there was even more swirling in Tara's mind; the idea that Potina was like Hyhy, an alien creature with extra breasts. Pushing that absurd dream vision away, she simply told her mother, "I have seen it; Potina will be happy in Norsun with her husband."
Brita said, "Then it is settled. And now we can celebrate." She left the house and went to help prepare the dinner.
Banduy and Tara put an arm around each other and slowly went up the steps. Banduy asked, "How far is it to Norsun? Will we be able to visit?"
The Three Seas; west, east and south. |
They stepped out into the late afternoon light. Banduy looked at Tara's young face. "You are still a child. I can't believe you are going away."
"Relax, mother. It is five years until the Min Orne. Now, let's eat... the children are hungry."
Banduy took hold of Tara's hand and held her back from approaching the cookout. "Will you ever be able to forgive me? I tried to control your fate for my own selfish reasons." Banduy had grown up jealous of her sister Brita and had come to view Tara as her great accomplishment in life. With some telepathic linkage to her daughter during the pregnancy, Banduy had named her Ra. Then when Ra had begun speaking sentences at six months of age, Banduy had begun thinking about the prophesies of Trysta and had renamed her daughter to Tara.
But then Brita had gone through a similar pregnancy and named her daughter Rawa. There had always been a mysterious connection between the minds of Tara and Rawa and it quickly became clear that the two little girls could share dream visions. Now Tara told her mother, "You have always loved Rawa like she is your own daughter. She will always be here with you and she will be the next Ta of Eland." Tara wondered if she would be able to maintain any linkage to Rawa's thoughts after she moved to Norsun.
Now Tara's grandparents arrived from the family's vegetable gardens along with a large number of workers who had spent the day preserving and storing food in jars. Pla came to hug first Banduy then Tara. Pla placed her hands on Tara's face and asked, "What is wrong my child?"
Tara opened her mind to Pla, but they could only really share thoughts if they were sharing an orgasm. "I've just told Banduy... I will be the one to undertake the Min Orne."Tara and Potina on the Bronze Road |
Tara replied, "After dinner I will share my vision of the future with the whole family, but now let us eat." Tara had been too excited and nervous all day to even think about eating. As a Ta, she had no physiological need to eat. Nanites constantly attended to her biological needs, bed her and cleaned her body. But after having sex with Ila, Tara always ritually bathed. Now she forced herself to eat with her family.
Watching the workers as they tended the grill and served food and drink, Tara reflected on the fact that in her dream vision she had seen workers at Norsun, but none who she recognized. Still, those workers had the distinctive look of the worker class. As a Ta, Tara knew something of the origin of the workers who had always served the families of Eland. Legend had it that they were a gift from Trysta, the first Ta of the far past. The people of Eland called these workers the Rep.
The Rep were like slaves, but they never complained. The Rep lived in their own camps, close to the houses of the families of the tribe of El. The Rep never complained and seldom had to be told what to do. As the seasons changed, the Rep simply did the work that needed to be done. During the dinner, some of the Rep had taken turns, singing the ancient songs.
The sun had left the sky and the children were playing in the hay field to the side of the fire pits. The Rep were clearing away the remains of the feast and feeding the many birds, cats and dogs that lived in close proximity to Ida House. Tara felt sad that she would have to abandon her life at Ida House and her way of life in the Ida valley, but she was also excited to know that she would be the prophesied one to undertake the Min Orne.
As the sky darkened and the stars emerged, they danced behind high clouds that were moving in from the west. The young children were laughing and playing erotic games in the grassy field among a cloud of fire flies. Pla told her maid to bring the children back to the central fire. Alay, Paya, Dale and Ook came running to Krys who gave them sweets. Then Krys rose to his feet and spoke so that all could hear. "Rawa has told me about her recent vision." He gestured towards Rawa and said, "Tell everyone what you told me."
Potina and Tara at Norsun |
Now Tara stood up and hugged Rawa. Tara told her family, "You must now call Rawa by a new name... Tarawa. Yes, I will go away and so I will not be the next Ta of Eland. Five years from now I will depart from Eland and Tarawa will become the next Ta of Eland." Rawa, now proclaimed Tarawa, sat down beside her mother.
Tara raised her hands above her head. "I have seen the future. My children will be born in Norsun, far to the south. Fear not! In the past, other folk of Eland have departed and gone on similar journeys. They are still out there, spreading the ways of El and Ta to the rest of the peoples of the world." Tara knew of two other past 'Min Orne', one that went to the northwest out of Eland and one that went northeast.
As a Ta, Tara also knew that as people moved out from Eland, they also spread death. Tara knew that her body carried death that would spread to people of the south. In her vision of the future, Tara had seen that her descendants would fill the lands that were depopulated in this way. However, this knowledge was only for the Ta. Tara lowered her hands and began to undress. "Yes, I now claim my husband, Zule. We married each other long ago, but now Banduy has conceded the match. Zule and I are now wed! Let any man who thinks otherwise claim me now!" Tara took of the last of her clothing and stood naked and glistening in the firelight.
Jyct the worker and Tara at Norsun |
Pla brought Tara her skirt. "I have made love to you, my child, but now I pass that duty to Zule."
Tara pulled her skirt back on and looked at her mother who was again weeping. Slowly Banduy got to her feet and handed Tara her jacket. "I taught you how to achieve orgasms, my daughter, but now I concede that your sexual pleasure and the seeding of your future family is a task for Zule, my son." Knowing that sometimes brother and sister could not produce children, Banduy added, "May you have many happy children."
Krys returned to his feet and announced to the group, "Knowing of Tara's great love for Zule, I have have never carried out my fatherly duties and I have never had the pleasure of sexual intimacy with Tara." Krys placed a hand on Tara's head. "However, I wish you well my dear-"
Krys fell silent as a group of five workers, two male and three female came forward and finished dressing Tara. One of the female workers, Jyct, said, "As is our duty, we of the Rep have often made love to Tara. We will always be here for you, my love, whenever you need some care and attention." Each of the five workers kissed Tara rather passionately. For a moment it seemed as if Jyct was going to undress Tara again, but then she pulled her hand out of Tara's skirt and returned to her place in the shadows around the fire.
Tara was eager to go to the Rata valley in search of Zule. She asked her aunt Brita, "Will I find Zule at home?"
Brita nodded. "You should. I left him and Potina in charge. Sasp went to help with the wine making and Prov is hunting a mountain lion that got into our corrals. But surely you are not heading for Rata right now? Wait until morning."
Tara and Ime |
Trudging up the trail through the Rata valley, Tara and Ime finally came to the house where Brita lived with her two husbands, Sasp and Prov. By tradition, the people of Eland paired off, but the Ta was always allowed to have more than one husband. A noisy chicken announced Tara's arrival and while she was feeding and watering Ime, Potina came out of the house. She told Tara, "I thought the lion was back."
Tara and Potina embraced and got into some heated kissing. Now in close contact, the telepathic minds of Tara and Potina began to resonate. Tara could not stop herself from thinking about the mysterious vision -from the future?- of Potina in which Potina had the physical form of a bryg'Dra. In that dream vision, Potina had explained, "This is our true physical form, Tara. Yes, when on Earth we are made to have the form of Earthlings, but that is a trick... forcing our bodies into an un-natural shape."
In the dream vision, Potina had bared one of her lower breasts and explained, "These lower breasts are for sexplay. They produce sex hormones like clytykynyn. Try some!"
Potina's true physical form. |
All those visions flashed quickly through Tara's mind. Once more, Tara was left wondering if her own true physical form was that of a bryg'Dra hermaphrodite. Tara finally pulled her mouth away from Potina and said, "I have to tell you something."
Potina nodded. "Why else would you be here? Did you really walk all night?"
"Yes, I left your mother at Ida. I've had a revelation."
"What was in your vision?" Potina placed both her hands on Tara's head. "I can sense that your mind is burning with wild emotions."
Tara reached up and took hold of both of Potina's hands and they interdigitated their fingers. "I've always loved you, since I was very young."
"And I love you, too. I enjoy making love to you, but am I in your dreams?" Potina laughed. "Surely you did not walk all the way over here tonight to provide me with a sweet orgasm."
Atarte and Tara |
Potina laughed again. "I've told you... you can make love to Zule any time you want to. You don't need to worry that I'll tell your mother."
"Don't worry about Banduy. In my vision I saw our futures. We will live together as Zule's wives. We are going on the Min Orne. I saw that you will give Zule his first child, a boy... his name, Ked."
Potina began to laugh, but saw that Tara was serious. Tara added, "Banduy has recognized that I am Zule's wife. And now, I make you his second wife."
Potina asked, "Can you do that? My parents have resisted..."
"We are going to form a new tribe... a southern tribe of the Ta. I've seen our future. You and I will each have many children."
"You have seen your children?"
"Some of them. My first born will be a girl, Atarte... she will become the husband of Ked."
"Come, we must tell Zule." Potina led Tara into the house. With Potina's parents gone, she and Zule had made use of the big bed in the master bedroom. Zule was there, still sleeping. Potina lit a lamp and Tara could see that Zule had a magnificent erection. She said, "How convenient." Tara and Potina sat down on either side of Zule and began putting little kisses on his erection.
Zule, Potina, Tara and Atarte |
Tara told Zule, "My husband, you are going to have to get used to dealing with both of us... all the time."
Potina added, "Your mother has finally agreed that you and Tara are mated."
Tara put an arm around Potina. "And I have made Potina your second wife. It is done."
