Hormones & Mercenaries

 ⭑A Children’s Tale⭑

By Felipe Lohan Pinheiro da Silva

Foreword: This isn't a LGBTXYZ tale.

***

There's a large island that is just beginning to be colonized by the hardest men of the Kuloshian Empire, because the men of other Empires aren't hard enough for that. There's no consensus yet between them about what name give to the island.

The most dangerous part of the island is being explored by a very small group of high-skilled mercenaries headed by called a mercenary called Mayra Walo (MAH*-Y-RAH WAH-LO*). She's a mercenary that killed many men stronger than her, and she was on the verge of the death a lot of times.

She uses a full plate armor set. The breastplate have the shape of a pair of real women's boobs, w/ nipples on it.

The armor haves a [libre-designed helm] (see the “Literary Shared Libraries” section in the Volume Zero/0).

She uses a giant two-handed double edged “butcher’s sword”: the blade is 25cm (10 in) wide, 140 cm long (55 in), starting at 105cm (41 in) from the base of the blade, it becomes smaller to form an acute tip. The handle is 45 cm (18 in). The handle is a bigger version of the [Libre-designed sword handle (saber version)] (see the “Literary Shared Libraries” section in the Volume Zero/0)

Mayra is beautiful, tall, strong and have a long hair. But she haves non-human ears, hair color, pupils and irises, because, albeit she's humanoid, she's not quite human.

One of the Mayra’s men is a mercenary called ˙Ժoahan (˙ԺO-AH-HAN*). he killed many men in melee/close combat in naval battles (when men from one ship board the other). His weapon is a two-handed [libre-designed club] (see the “Literary Shared Libraries” section in the Volume Zero/0). Those who see him w/out his [libre-designed helm] can see a red bandana in his head. He's green eyed and uses a goatee.

The Mayra group hunts a kind of monster to extract their glands, because alchemists discovered that they could extract from it a substance that can later be synthesized to make a hormone used in the MTF (male to female) transition to transsexuals. Children that use it grows w/ a feminine voice and body, and even grows breasts like women.

That part of island have a terrain w/ VERY diƒƒіcult access. The monsters uses the cave systems to make ambushes against the group. The weather is VERY inclement there.

One day, the Mayra's group was ambushed by a large group of monsters. She and ˙Ժoahan fought in a so ferocious way that each one killed one monster alone. The group was nearly killed, but they succeed. Returning to the base in the island, they were ambushed by a large group of other species of monster, that they spotted before, but never really confronted. As before, Mayra and ˙Ժoahan killed one monster alone each one. The group fought at the limit of their forces to don't die, and killed them. After killing him, they took their corpses to the Kuloshian Empire. Alchemists discovered synthesize the gland’s extract to make a FTM (female to male) transition hormone to transsexuals. Children that use it grows w/ a masculine voice and body, and even grows beards like men. The autopsy on the corpses allowed them to know better the habits of this species of monster. Since that day, the Mayra's group mapped better the positions of this kind of monsters. Later, they began to hunt them too.

Some time later, they explored other part of the island. They discovered two other monster races, so they also hunted them and gave their glands to the alchemists. They discovered that one race’s glands could be used to extract a biological MTF gender changing hormone, so the result were normally reproductive females; the other race’s glands were to FTM hormone, to normally reproductive males.

One day, in the balcony of the base, ˙Ժoahan said to Mayra:

[˙Ժoahan, annoyed, looking to Mayra]: Environmentalists and animal rights groups are complaining about our hunts.

[Mayra, looking to the horizon, not worrying too much about them]: After all, don't forget that the interest of the gay supporters is involved in this situation. This time speciƒіcally, they will ƒіght for us in the Empire against them. İt will not take too long when people from our Empire will colonize this island and will raise some specimens of both species in farms. Let's proƒіt while we can.

[˙Ժoahan]: ¿ What we will do later?

[Mayra]: Keep working as mercenaries, as we always did, and we always will do. People like us, who born w/ the sword in the lap, don't know how to live other way...

She looked back to the horizon.

THE END

Note: Many people would ask how such theme could be in a “children’s tale”. But just remember, in the Alice tales from Lewis Carroll, the jabberwocky was beheaded. The Tales of the Land of Oz, from Baum, also have the thematics of violence and gender changing. See also the bibliography for the Albanian fairy tale about the theme of gender changing.
