It took me a while to explain everything, but now that I had more information, I could explain it a bit better than I had learned it. There were still many things that didn't add up, and after I explained about meeting Miasma, I started to ask questions.

"Have either of you seen a black Bee before?" I asked them.

"Hmm, all black would be one of the SugaBee, but they live in the Tiptop Mountain range. What makes you ask about them?" Leah asked before taking a bite of her wafer wax BeesBread.

"Miasma had told me about one that was coming to visit Malodar, the Skunk Chief. Do you think that the SugaBee's would be trying to convince them to dunk the waste? I don't know anything about them or most of the races," I said with a sigh.

Starting out in a new world was hard when you didn't have time to grow up in it. Then again, Riza knew only what her instincts told her and the information she heard, but she didn't ask that many questions.

"The SugaBee are some of the nicest Bees, so I don't know why they would want to do that. They collect special clear pollen from Crystal Night Flowers that produce a special fluid that they use to make specialty sweets and glass-like structures," Messia explained.

"Yeah, they are really nice Bees, but they are some of the most useless Bees in the family. Barely worth the buzz to mention them. The flowers self-pollinate, and they just take and collect the mixture of dew and plant secretions. After they use the Sugaspree, the glass, and they make wired clear glass-like hexagon structures," Leah explained.

"Well, that tosses that theory out, but why would they be talking to the Skunk Folk?" I asked curiously.

"Not really sure, you would have to visit them and ask, but that is more than a day's flight from here. We would need to plan a trip to go and see them," Leah told me, but I waved her off.

"No, if they aren't the problem, then we don't need to Bee worrying about them right now. We have more than enough on our plate right now, but this does make me feel better about going to visit Malodor. I am starting to think that there is no bad guy here, and this is all just a series of events that are connected by chance," I said while drumming my fingers off the chiton shell of my tail.

The girls had made me a place to sit with a comfy back that I could lean into without hurting my wings. The best part was that they showed me that I could pull my tails forward between my legs.

The only awkward part was how it spread my legs open and made me feel like I was sitting with my penis hanging out. I lacked that part now, so the feeling was forgotten just as fast as I thought of it.

"I will come with you to speak with Malodor, and we can ask him, but you are right. I don't think that there is anyone evil, other than the weasels, but that only because of the old queen," Leah said after she started to massage my arms.

"What about this Miasma? She sounds really nice, and you didn't talk about her very much. Did something happen between the two of you?" Messia asked with a smile as she mimicked Leah, but she was a lot gentler.

"Yeah, she was really nice, but I think that she needs to get away from the village. Even her own family treats her poorly, and that's not right. I think that she will make a good addition to our group, but before we leave tomorrow, I want to give Pixie and Talli their points. Maybe getting specialized classes isn't something that we can just wait around for," I said to the girls as I yawned, putting a hand over my mouth.

"That is a good idea, but if I am keeping the girls with me, you will have to leave Riza here with us," Messia said, as she and Leah got up and then helped me get back up.

"Yes, that was the plan, but I am concerned with the trip. You can't fly, right?" I asked Leah after getting up.

"I don't think that you will have to worry, but you will have to stay near the ground. I can probably run faster than you can fly, so we will have no problem getting there," Leah told me as she walked over and crawled into her cell bed.

That only left Messia and me, but she took my hand and led me over to my cell. I was already having trouble forming complete thoughts, but I still had the sense to catch Messia before she crawled inside her bed.

I pulled her over to me and into a deep kiss that involved no food; I was still full. Not even the scrumptious Beesbread could have done the trick at this point.

No, all I really wanted was to sleep with the memory of how she tasted and felt. When we broke apart, both of us were smiling, and I was ready for bed now. Messia crawled into her honeycomb bed, and I turned to my own; but I peeked over to check on the girls, but they were fast asleep.

I turned back to my own bed and crawled inside, laying down on my stomach. Today really started to open up the world, but this was probably only one of the most minor parts of the bigger picture.

Tomorrow I would need to try to deal with the Skunk Folk dumping their waste? I didn't think that they would have something like waste disposal in this world, but nothing there was like that here as far as I saw and had heard.

I finally fell asleep; I slipped off into dreams where memories of the purple gemstones filled my dreams.
