Epic of Bee

The boy\'s words gave me goosebumps as visions of rockstars saving the future rolled through my mind. Tag and Sig were going to be essential people in the future; I could feel it.

"I am happy that you both have become stronger from your trial, but you both know that this is only the beginning. In the future, things will get harder, but as we grow, those things will become easier. I am very proud to watch both of you grow, and I know that one day, you both will help me change the world one day," I said, and both of the boys stood even straighter than before if that was even possible.

"Right-O, My Queen! Together, you, Tag, I, and everyone else will teach the world to be excellent. For us, it has been the most excellent ride to get here. No matter the bumps along the way, we are here with you till the end!" Sig said with excitement, but then Tag pushed him.

"Hey! Didn\'t you just give my crap about stealing other people\'s lines?" Tag complained, but Sig shot him a devilish grin back.

"No, I said you were bad at stealing them! I think that I used your most in the right place, and it\'s just one of those things that work!" Sig said, laughing, and Tag just rolled his eyes.

"Okay, let\'s get up to the top floor so I can take care of Leah or help Riza get started," I said, waving the boys forward.

"After, if we have time, do you think that we can go look at the new HexScape that Beezli created?" Xani asked as we followed Tag and Sig through the Honey Gate.

"Yes, I think that\'s a wonderful idea, but do you mind if we find Messia? I am starting to get hungry, and I have a date with her after this," I asked Xani, and she smiled up at me as we walked out onto the Navigation Room.

The place had a few people working with some experiments over where Talli had shown me her Nectar Booze plan. I wondered how it would go now that we had our own Rock Troll to brew it.

Thinking of Chipped made me remember Terrance, but those two could wait till tomorrow. I could see out the viewing wall that it was nighttime now, but I had no idea how late it was.

One of the downsides in this world was that I had yet to see a clock or any type of time-keeping device. I guess I could start the trend with a sundial, but at the same time, there must be races already using it.

I would add that to the list of things that I want to ask the SugaBee Queen tomorrow. For now, I would just shelve the idea, and I looked around again and then turned to my right.

The girls must have already gone down since the Levi-Stone pad was not up to waiting for me. I walked over to the hole and then called down to the girls.

"Coming!" Riza called from below, and I stepped back from the edge and turned back to Tag and Sig.

"Can the two of you go and collect some more guards so we can go out and visit the HexScape? I will never hear the end of it if we don\'t tell them and let everyone protect me," I said with a sigh, and both of them nodded to me and then headed back through the Honey Gate as Riza came up from below with the Levi-stone pad.

"Ready?" Riza asked with a smile that was too big for her face.

"Yes, are you? I will hazard a guess and assume that things between your wives went well?" I asked as we joined Riza on the Levi-Stone pad.

"Mhm, yes, but I don\'t know if they are my wives yet?" Riza said questioningly, and I leaned over to kiss Xani, who turned to meet my lips for a brief touch, but it still gave me a warm feeling.

"I will do your evolutions and Scans all at the same time. This way, you all can see each other\'s Classes, and then you will be able to work together more," I said as I turned back, and Riza clicked down on the Levi-Stone, and we started to descend.

Right away, I saw Leah and Joni standing together waiting, but Joni was holding one of Leah\'s hands and leaning against her. That picture of the two made me happy to see.

I could also see Riza started to get nervous, so I slipped my free left arms into her right ones. I pulled her close to me as we started to walk and then leaned over to whisper into her ear.

"You have no reason to be nervous; look at the two of them waiting. Both are ready for you, and Leah has been waiting long enough for this. I also heard that she is becoming insufferable on the training grounds," I said quietly, but not quite enough.

"You know that the echo in here is pretty bad, and I am not insufferable! The men just can\'t handle that I can still beat them with three arms!" Leah said while shaking her gibbled hand at us.

"That is because you are a poor winner! The men wouldn\'t be so mad if you didn\'t have to rub it in their faces so much after you did win," Joni said with a smile while rolling her eyes.

"Well, have you fought all the men?" I asked curiously as I walked over to the wall section where I kept my trinkets and pushed on the section that I usually did, and it opened up.

Inside was Riza\'s Honey, the special Kunia, and a couple other odds and ends like the tube for the dragon eggs and the Magic Bead necklace. I grabbed the Riza\'s Royal Honey and the Kunia along with the special Raccoon mask; I would make sure to give these out when the guards came out with us.

"Okay, who wants to drink Riza\'s Honey Pot Juices?" I asked, trying to sound as provocative as possible, but Leah made me almost swallow my tongue.

"Do I have to drink it from the jar? Can I just drink it from the source?" Leah asked seductively as she looked directly at Riza, who looked like her eyes were about to fall out of her head.
