Calista Skye [Skye - Caveman Alien’s Sword

The Abduction

Eighteen college girls were abducted by a flying saucer and dumped on the alien planet Xren.

They were abducted by the Plood, a servant race of the evil dragons.

Xren

The planet the girls were dumped on is a jurassic planet where huge dinosaurs rule the jungle. There are flying, pterodactyl-like horrors called irox and velociraptors called rekh. But there are also creatures the size of office buildings as well as more mysterious beings.

They all have one thing in common: theyre deadly.

The cavemen

The cavemen live in small tribal communities and are alien humanoids with colorful stripes and unusual features. They have no women of their own. The cavemen are very large and strong, but at the same time quite sophisticated.

The girls have uncovered that the cavemen are not native to Xren - they were placed on the inhospitable planet to harden them for generations before their ultimate mission: to fight the dragons.

Bune

Bune is an ancient spaceship that crashed on Xren about a century ago. It contains many of the clues to the mystery of the cavemen and of Xren itself.

It also contains a smaller ship that appears intact. The girls hope to make that spaceship fly, so they can go home to Earth. But the alien technology is extremely complicated.

The dragons

The dragons are the most fearsome species of aliens in the universe. They hunt other civilizations to extinction, including the species that built the spaceship Bune.

Several dragons have come to Xren recently, and most them have been killed or neutralized by the Earth girls and the cavemen, working together.

The girls suspect that the main dragon force is still on its way through space, coming to invade Xren and kill everyone.

The girls

The girls live in a village with their husbands and an increasing number of other cavemen who want to help fight the dragons. They form a tribe that is quickly becoming the most advanced on Xren.

Sophia, Heidi, Emilia, Aurora, Caroline, Tamara and Phoebe

These girls are all married to cavemen and have brought them into the tribe. Five of them have given birth to half-caveman babies.

Delyah

The unassuming genius Delyah is the elected leader of the tribe. She is married to Braxtan, her co-chief. She spends most of her time in Bune, trying to understand it so they can all go home to Earth. Shes now pregnant, with her due date approaching fast.

Ashlynn

Ashlynn is the best (and only) roofer in the tribe. She is also the only physics student in the group, and she suspects that a lot of the problems with Bune will become hers to solve.

But she dreads the responsibility - she was never a good student.

This is her story.

- Ashlynn -

Is that all of it?

Sophia strokes some hairs out of her face and takes in the sad little heap of stuff on the flat rock.

Weve all emptied our pockets and personal storage bins for anything that comes from Earth. When we were abducted by the flying saucer it was late at night, so most of us were asleep. Or in bed, anyway. Anything we were holding or had on our person was taken along with us.

The clothes we wore are long since reduced to sad, smelly rags. So, the heap consists mostly of earrings, scrunchies, lip balms, a couple of small tubes of lotions, and socks. Theres a cracked iPhone with no charge left and a plush kangaroo with a smaller kangaroo in its pouch. We could probably do decent business selling drawstrings from sweatpants, if there was a market for it.

Mia glances at me, and I give her an encouraging nod. I know whats coming.

Not quite, she says reluctantly. I will remind you all that it was late at night. And I was single. And Im a pretty healthy girl and theres nothing wrong with what I was maybe doing.

She quickly takes something out of a pocket in her primitive dinosaur skin dress, and a small pink vibrator joins the other things in the heap.

Nobody laughs or makes any rude comments.

Damn right, Aurora says. I just wish Id brought mine, too. I mean, caveman dick is fine and all. But sometimes a girl needs her alone time.

Theres a murmur of sincere agreement.

Eleanor scratches her chin. Is there any battery life left in that thing? No, right?

Nope, Mia says. All gone. And then some. Sorry.

All right, Sophia says and opens a large sack. Well put it all in here, along with the gun, all the gold, and the translator device. And the guys will put it in a box and bury it deep so the dragons cant get to any of this stuff.

Cant I keep that scrunchie? Camila inquires. I mean, no dragon is going to want that as part of its hoard. Its all dirty and greasy. And seriously, look at this rats nest thats supposed to be my hair.

Heidi takes her glasses off and carefully places them on the rock. Probably safer if we dont keep any of this. We dont know what the dragons value. These things are all from light years away. That alone could make them attractive. We just dont know. Shit, Im blind now.

Even my shitty map was enough of a hoard to turn Gorgoz into his dragon form, Phoebe agrees. It might not take much.

I squeeze something soft in my own pocket. Maybe the dragons value things based on the affinity they have to their owners.

Maybe, Tamara agrees and puts her highly treasured Cartier bangle on top of the heap. In that case, this has to be way out of sight. Just make sure the guys make a note of where they bury this stuff. If this thing is lost, Ill freaking murder someone.

Meanwhile, I point out, theres at least one tribe with a large store of gold, which the dragons appear to want more than anything else. And I dont know how many nice swords the tribes all own. Or jewelry. Or nicely woven fabrics. I mean, theres enough nice stuff elsewhere on Xren to make a pretty decent hoard for even discerning dragons.

There is, Emilia agrees. But I think were right to do this. At least the dragons cant build hoards from our stuff. Not on my watch and all that.

Be the change you want to see, Sopia adds.

Carrakz says the gold in his old tribe is being hidden well, Tamara informs us. All of it. Only the old chief was badly afflicted with gold fever. The others are shaking it off.

Its probably a fair assumption that there is a lot of stuff on Xren to make hoards out of, Aurora says. But the more of it is hidden, the fewer dragons can make hoards and so become strong. We dont know how many of them will come here. Its like denying an enemy food. They cant fight that well if they cant eat. Yeah, its probably a brutal thing to do. But the dragons weve seen so far havent been exactly nice.

Eleanor reluctantly tosses another drawstring onto the rock. According to Delyah, there is another reason. She thinks its the better reason, too: all these things are from Earth. Theyre mass produced. Each of them is proof of an industrial civilization. Any intelligent being will realize that theyre not from Xren. They must be from another, much more advanced planet. And the last thing we want is for the dragons to realize that Earth exists.

Shit, Emilia exclaims. I never thought of that. Earth is probably much richer pickings for them than Xren ever was. Yeah, Im convinced. Not that I have been treasuring this, of course. But sometimes I like to look at it. She carefully places an empty Snickers wrapper on the rock.

We all look longingly at it.

Can I can I smell that, please? Phoebe asks.

And me? Caroline adds hopefully.

Emilia shrugs. Its all smelled out. Trust me, I know.
