INTRO:
Dawn's Tale was inspired by several things ( among many others too numerous to
mention):
Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty books - I found it refreshing to read D&S/B&D
material that didn't have to resort to the things I said this story wouldn't
have; you don't have to be mean to force someone into a submissive
relationship... The only thing I didn't like was that I thought Beauty should
have returned to the castle at the end of _Beauty's Release_ and lived out the
rest of her life as a naked slave; after all being a naked slave was all she
really wanted... I'd like to see someone write a good continuation, or other
stories like Anne Rice's story. Same for Alice in Wonderland. If you happen to
have a story like that, I'll put it on my page if you want.
Jack Chalker's Well World books - for its incredible and fantastic science
fiction and wonderful descriptions of humans being transformed into centaurs,
satyrs and even more fantastic creatures. His books are so many and so good that
it would take this whole post to talk about them.
An unknown story by an author I don't remember published in a science fiction
anthology at least 10 years ago or more ( I think). It one of my first
encounters with erotic science fiction. In it, aliens came to Earth and gave us
much improved health care- all citizen's got notices to go to a medical center
for a checkup and emerged with very healthy and athletic bodies. Men wound up
looking like pro football quarterbacks, and women like Miss America. The
narrator became suspicious when his wife took a liking to lying ( in full view
of everyone) nude outside under a green sunlamp while growing lumps( it was
implied that they might become wings) under her shoulderblades. The narrator,
who finally had his body made over, changed his mind and managed to get his body
put back as it used to be, while it was hinted that the aliens were modifying us
to match their alien world. In the end his efforts were for naught, he found
himself back in line for transformation.
An another unknown sci fi book ( If you know the name please let me know) where
the lowest class of humans don't normally wear clothing in public. This class
of people would secretly meet to wear clothing normally forbidden to them.
The Miniseries and TV Show V - Because I found the scenes of broken and
submissive ( to the aliens) humans in flesh colored tights stimulating for a
show on regular TV in the 80's and at least the series part was a great aliens
exist and they come to Earth story.
Next, the role-playing game Werewolf: the Apocalypse for its very good and
detailed ideas about transformation and intelligent beings who still keep their
primal instinctive behaviors as major parts of their day to day lives not to
mention its great ideas for storytelling.
Earth: Final Conflict was not yet on TV when I first started writing this story,
but I'm sure readers will note some similarities. If you haven't seen it yet,
check it out, it's an interesting First Contact series.
Finally ( in no order) Ann D., Dierdre, and the many other good authors( and the
not so good ones who at least made good efforts) who've posted to a.s.s. as well
as the guy who asked for more chapters of My-Life-As-a-Dog which inspired me to
finally start this....
If you made it past my ramblings, please remember this IS a sexually explicit
science fiction story, it is NOT for those under 18 or who cannot handle mature
material. It also contains non sexual themes ( such as the fact that we might
have come from a lost colony starship) that might offend some too sensitive. In
any case if you are offended, under age or simply do not like it at all, please
simply quit reading it and delete it. The government does not think you are
capable of deciding what you or your children can read, so you have been fairly
warned.... And again, if you are looking for the sex, please be patient and try
to get into the story, and remember it is a FANTASY story, a lot of things that
are improbable in the real world happen here.

Preface:
Without further ado.... ( and one more thing- I must give you some background
info before we get to our story) It is mostly told by a human ( sort of) female
narrator to another human born on her new home world after the events described.
Some of the scientific stuff has been estimated or made up for sake of the
story; if anyone sees something blatantly in error, please tell me if you wish
but remember it IS only a story...
A few science facts needed:
First, remember its a story, I've fudged for the sack of the story; some events
in it are actually very improbable. It IS just a story.
The "aliens" are called Homo Sapiens Superior, they are an old race that
possessed slow ( several times lightspeed) interstellar travel when Homo Sapiens
were primitive savages. At that early time period, 100,000 years, give or take a
few millennia, their interstellar travel was limited, they did not have faster
than light travel yet; travel was limited to stars within 30 light-years or so.
Time between destinations often took 5-10 years or much more, and speed had to
be carefully watched to minimize relativistic effects. Interstellar travel would
not have been possible at all if not for their long lifespans, 250 to 750 of our
years.
They have no prime directive, at least as far as Homo Sapiens Sapiens is
concerned. They will be further explained throughout the story for now assume
they are what we might become if left to develop for 10,000 years or more.
Physically they are very similar to how they were 100,00 years ago, but
technologically they can do things we only dream of. Until our near future, they
left us alone, their own civilization rising and falling multiple times as they
spread out over the stars...
I have assumed ( actually probably true, but some people don't believe the
theory of evolution) that the time we have been here as Homo Sapiens Sapiens to
be around 130,000 years or so. Scientists think Homo Sapiens Sapiens has been
here between 100,000 and 150,000 years through at least several ice ages. I have
also made use of a fairly new theory that at some point in evolution (perhaps
before we evolved into homo sapiens), between ice ages, we went through a
amphibian period. More of the surface was covered with water, at least near
where we originated, and we had to spend at least part of our time swimming in
the water to survive. This had several effects: its why we lost our hair, an
extra body fat layer ( which only sea animals have), and our bone structure (
which had to be streamlined for swimming, and helped us walk upright later). The
story proposes an alternate reasoning for the results of that period in our
evolution.
Please note that passages enclosed in [ ] ( square brackets) denote that the
enclosed text was spoken/writen in Galactic standard, the language of the race
described above. Spoken, it is vaguely similar to Hebrew, Egyptian, Babylonian
or other ancient languages. Written it looks like hieroglyphics except most of
the hieroglyphics are letters, not symbols. It confuses many humans (within the
story) since some common symbols remain as single figures.
Place names, titles, names, and other descriptive terms are converted to English
for ease of reading. For example, "Captain" or "Epsilon Eridani" are actually
alien terms and names but I use the English equivalents for ease. Similarly I
use our scientific notation since its familiar to most. Remember that I'm really
referring to the foreign terms the aliens classify themselves and us as.
Statements enclosed in ( ) when used whenever the narrator is talking, represent
physical actions taking place as she tells the story.
Assume anything not in brackets or parentheses to be the narrator speaking. Her
speech, even though she is almost genetically human, is not quite English.
Smells, tastes, and body gestures are a major part of her communication at the
point in time she is narrating, her new "race" is quite capable of conveying
information without speaking a word. They use actual speech when convenient and
can communicate without speech when absolute silence is required or when
inconvenient such as under water.
