Epic of Bee

I stared up at the inverted golden metal honey drop, none of the others had come to join me yet, but that was fine. I wanted to talk with Queeny or Hilda first about everything that had just happened, and I knew that she wouldn't have all the answers.

"I have lost all my memories of the time that I spent on this world, and I only have my precious memories before first coming to this world. I was a businesswoman before this working as a paralegal," Hilda explained to me.

"So then, at one point, you died in such a strange and random way and ended up here?" I asked her as she buzzed before me.

"I am not allowed to speak of the process that we all go through, but for my death, I was drunk, and I fell from a balcony, landing on a moving school buzz. That didn't kill me, but when the bus hit the stopped truck in front of it, I was catapulted off and flung directly into an oncoming and speeding cement truck," Hilda explained.

I recoiled at the story; wow, and it thought that I had it bad. Imagine if that wasn't enough to earn a spot?

"That is quite the death. I can see why you got picked like I did, but it was just a freak accident. Yours was the freak accident that defines the rest!" I said with paise, and that actually made Hilda smile.

"Yes, I was lucky enough to be shit-faced at the time, so most of it happened in a blur. None of those times matter, and yes, it seems I was the god of this world once before, but that means absolutely nothing for me now," Hilda explained.

"Well, we did it, though! We have… this is a ship that will fly, right?" I asked, realizing now that I had yet to.

"Yes, it will not move overly fast, but we can take some of the skunk's waste, but I don't know if that is going to solve the problem," Hilda explained to me.

"Yes, I know what you mean, but what about if I change them all? It will take some time, but if we can get everyone one the change over to the way Miasmas spray is, then we don't have to find a solution for the waste?" I asked.

"True, but what are the effects of her spray now?" Hilda countered.

"Ooo, damn! You got me there! I guess we will have to do some tests first to see if we are actually helping. That was really helpful, thank you. I need you and everyone else to jar my brain like that from time to time," I said, smiling and finally turning back to the massive group that had gathered.

It looked like every Weasel, Bee, and Ferret had gathered, and thankfully everyone had stood back up. I waved them all over, and my four Wives we the first to lift off the ground and fly over to yo me as fast as Bee-ingly possible.

Messia, the most experienced flyer, raced ahead of the others and almost tackled me as I took her into my arms. I stumbled back, but Messia kept me from falling by pulling me into a deep kiss.

"You literally just saw me, woman! And I was right over here the entire time, not that I mind kissing your pretty face, but why are you so clingy all of a sudden?" I asked after we finished kissing.

I hadn't got any jelly that time, and I was slightly let down, but only slightly. The passion-filled kiss sated most of my hunger, and that just meant I would get more later.

"You were just captured, and now you were arguing with a god! I was worried about you!" Messia said, shaking me like a rag doll.

The other Wives were here, and they were all smiling at us. Yeah, I guess I was giving her way too much worry, but it wasn't like anyone else could have done the things that I needed to do.

Yes, the first time was stupid, but this was just how it had to be for the Hive Tasks, and now we had a ship that was filled with rooms! That is what I wasn't ed to be doing right now; we could argue about how dumb I am later.

"I am sorry, but can you scold me later? I really want to go see our new home, don't you?" I asked innocently, and Messia rolled her eyes at me, but I grabbed her and kissed her again.

I pulled away and then danced around her to grab the other girls each by one of their hands and gave them each a kiss. I rubbed noses with Miasma, but then I pulled them all forward with me; I could hardly contain my excitement.

Then we got over it, and I was lost. There was no auto door and no clear way to get in.

"Hilda, how do we get inside?" I asked her as she buzzed along with us.

"Just walk up to the bottom of it, and you will be inside. It pulls up objects much bigger, but it has to be able to fit inside," Hilda explained, but then Messia pulled on my arm, and I turned to her, letting go of the other girls.

"What's wrong?" I asked, curious as to why she had a screwed up and stressed-out-looking face this time.

"Since when did you start calling her Hilda? It was queeny before, right? Why are you calling her Hilda? That isn't a popular name, or at least no one was allowed to use it! Why are you calling her that?" Messia asked as I could hear the stress just oozing out of her voice.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that we just found out that Queeny is actually Hilda, the Shy Eel Goddess, or she was, but now she has lost all her memories," I said.
