Epic of Bee

Chapter 13 What Do You Want To Bee?

"It's for you. The girls were right, you are silly. Hey! What about us? Aunty Messi and the other got the thing! When is it our turn?" Pixie asked while grabbing onto my arm and hopping.

Talli was on the other side, but she was just waiting patiently. It was cute to see their different personalities, but Pixie was right, it was their turn.

I squatted down fully, but slowly. I needed to bend forward a bit so as not to touch my tail on the dirty ground.

I used my bottom arms to put a hand on each of the sides of the girls and took their adorable little loli face in my hands. I cupped them both under the chins gently and then smiled at them.

"Yes my little girls, you have been very patient little Bees, and I have made you wait long enough. Do you both want to be my little warriors? Or do you want to do something else?" I asked them, and the two stopped rubbing their faces into my hands and started to think.

While I wished I could have given Riza more of a choice, the stations the others got were what they wanted as far as I could see. The girls were different, they were still small, cute, and deadly, but that didn't mean that they needed to be the special class or the others.

Queeny? Is it possible to get more than three class options?

'Yes, there is no limit to the different choice a subject could be registered to. Depending on the task, some classes can be gained from doing almost anything, but not all are useful or fitting for the subject. You will have to decide what is appropriate for your subjects. You are their Queen,' Queeny explained to me in her droning voice.

,m The girls were still thinking, and the others looked fine to wait, so I dug some more. Queeny, can I affect things other than my subjects? Are there any other parts to this system that I don't know about?

'Currently, you are at the first stage of your evolution, and all other menus are locked until you progress. Once you have ten subject's you will receive Hive Tasks. These will be things that you will need to complete to evolve, not just with the experience you gain," Queeny told me, and that was about the time the girls started to show signs of knowing what they wanted by their smiles.

"So?" I asked the two girls.

"Umm, I don't really like chopping people's heads off, but I want to keep you safe!" Talli told me.

"Yeah, that was gross. Can I try something different?" Pixie asked with a cute questioning look.

"Yes girls, take your time if you want to do something different. You just need to try it and see if you're good at it, and if you like it. There is no rush, none of this is a race, and I want you all to be happy with the things that you are doing," I explained to the girls and the two of them hugged me, and I squeezed them back.

I stood back up, and smiled at the rest, then looked at the Ferret's that were still lined up. Others had curled up as cute pairs to lie in the grass.

"Come, I would like to go for a walk over to the river while they nap, okay?" I asked, but everyone just smiled and followed.

This time I gave Messia a knowing look as I asked Riza to come, and walk in the front with me. Messia smiled back and took the two little girls' hands as they walked.

It was nice to see that she understood my intentions, and didn't misconstrue them. In my previous life, the few girls I did know never seemed to understand that not everything needed to be spoken.

It was just one more thing that made me smile about her, but I turned my focus back on Riza as we walked. I hadn't really had a chance to talk with her since we left the hive, and I wanted to check up on her.

"How are you feeling? Are you getting enough to eat?" I asked, not wanting to hound her too much.

"Yes, Leah is a very good provider even as a warrior now. I can see why you like it so much with Messia, it's… interesting. I thought that I needed a male, but I don't want that now," Riza said, slowing down a bit as she thought, but I looped my two right arms in her lefts.

"I kind of know what you mean, but I was a guy before, and I liked girls then, and not much has changed except my sex. I mean, it's a big change, but I am not going to start liking guys just because, hehe," I said as I walked.

"Yes, I still find it fascinating that that happened to you, and thankful. I know that's like me saying I am happy that you died, but because you died, I got to live, and a sister that no other Queen has ever had. I was talking to the others, and what you did has never been done before, you are breaking all molds," Riza said with a smile.

"Yeah, coming in like a wrecking ball! I got us all kicked out of the hive. You're right, I definitely have the breaking things down," I said with a weak smile, we were almost to the river now.

"I think you are just what the Bees need. One day, that queen will die, and the other evil Queen will take her place, and she will not forget what I did to her," Riza said while looking forward.

"What we did. You are my sister, but also my subject, and I was the one that gave you the power to hurt her. We are in this together, and you're right about her wanting revenge. So, we will have to work on getting everyone out of here. To do that, we are going to have to start getting people that know what they are doing!" I said with excitement as we finally reached the water.

???Wow! thanks for all the support and stones!!! Woot! ???

???Now... do you want some more? Every 100 stone we hit, I post another Bee-autiful chapter!???
