Epic of Bee - Chapter 254

[View of Tag, Sig, Pendra, Granthus, John, Miku, and Rixie]

“How do they get anything done?” Pendra complained as she and Granthus looked through binoculars he had made for them.

“I don’t think that they do. They don’t do anything other than eat, sleep, and breed, as far as I can tell. Their leader needs to be the one forcing them to work, but I have yet to spot him. All of the people look the same down there, and I can’t tell if there are ever ranks among them!” Granthus said in frustration as he pulled the metal tubes from his eyes.

The two were serving as lookouts to watch for any strange things happening. This meant looking for Goblins that were not doing the usual routine.

“There, on the left side of the mountain! There is one Goblin that seems to be wandering! Call him in, and get the others to give him a shot!” Pendra cried as she sat up and took the binoculars in both hands.

The Goblin in question was mindlessly walking through the thousands of goblins that we’re drinking and eating some kind of bread-like material. The rest of the goblins around him were walking around, having sex, eating, or talking to each other.

The thing that gave the Tellarider’s victims away was the fact that no goblin walked more than five steps without talking to someone. Goblins of Kadeon are peaceful and friendly creatures, but they are also sexually charged social butterflies.

Below, John received the target info and then stepped onto The Path. Now that he knew who he was looking for, the path would take him.

It was decided that the three Shadow Walkers would be working together. Miku and Rixie were not happy about this, but the rest of the party didn’t seem to care.

The last thing that anyone wanted was for either of the Queen’s wives to get hurt, so it was a unanimous decision that even Pendra agreed. She did it out of spite, but that didn’t make it any less unanimous.

“Done,” John said after he injected the Goblin with a small dose of BeeBliss Serum.

“There is another one, but you will have to hurry; he is going inside of the mountain!” Pendra called from the microphones they all had.

John nodded to himself and slipped back into The Path. In the shadows and in a place where the world was black and white, but the colors were reversed, Miku complained.

“This isn’t fair!” Miku complained as the world rushed by them in a monochrome blur.

While John followed the path, Miku and Rixie’s world sped by them, and they could not affect it or leave the Otherside. John knew this and forced both girls to enter shadows on his body to prevent them from going off on their own like he knew they would do.

“Why? You and I both know that we would not listen to them, and you would drag me into some kind of trouble! What would Ashia do if you got hurt?” Rixie said, and Miku made a shocked-looking face.

“What do you mean I would drag us into trouble?! And you know that you are just as important to me as Ashia! Just because you are registered as her wife doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about you!” Miku told Rixie, but she turned away from Miku and hugged herself.

“Do you really think so? We haven’t spent any time together, so how do you know that she loves me like she does you?” Rixie asked as she twisted back and forth.

“Because I love you, and if I love you, then Ashia will!” Miku said as she stepped behind Rixie, slipping arms under and around her waist.

Miku pushed her face into Rixie’s neck, and Rixie leaned her head into her neck, wanting to kiss it so badly. Rixie leaned her head into Miku’s head and put her hands over Miku’s.

The two were both starting to get feelings for one another, but both knew that they needed to wait to act on them. Ashia had asked them not to, but she hadn’t ordered it, but this was one rule that Miku was not willing to test as much as she wanted to.

“Do you think she is okay?” Rixie asked and then laughed as Miku’s laugh started to tickle her neck.

“Okay? I think we should be more worried about what is going to happen when she gets back and finds out that the Sky Folk is going to drop! A giant hammer from above the sky to kill everything! Ashia is going to breathe fire when she finds out, and the Sky Folk are going to become the Legend of The Idiot Race That Kicked The Hive!” Miku said as she started to tickle Rixie.

Up high in the clouds, there was a fight going on.

Tag and Sig were fighting with a fleet of Sky Ray Folk Pirates. While they weren’t very dangerous, they were very annoying and then continuously harried the men.

“What is wrong with these shovel faces?!” Tag complained as a cannon was constructed on Sig’s shoulder and then fired three shots of compressed air bubbles that exploded on contact.

The three shots exploded on the flat white faces that always wore stupid expressions, knocking them back.

Sky Ray Folk had flat diamond-shaped heads and flat bodies, but they also had long tails that could sting. Along with the natural weapons, they also were highly resistant to damage and were born with Wind Stones inside of them.

“I think they think we are some kind of machines, and they want to take us apart and then sell us,” Sig explained, and Tag gave him a dirty look.

“Then why aren’t we just killing them?” Tag asked angrily as he extended his arms forward and together.

They started to transform into the head of a dragon, but Sig pushed his hands down and then shot two more Sky Ray Folk out of the air.

“They are protected by the Sky Folk! If we start killing them, we will get the others into a lot of trouble!” Sig told Tag, but Tag grinned evilly.

“What if no one finds out?”
