Epic Of Bee Chapter 121

[View of Trent]
"I told you not to place all your hopes on the words of a Seer! Now, look at the mess you have made!" Growled Geth, the Fallen.
"We don't know that we have lost yet. This one did not see the Predators die, and it was ten to one in our favor! Why do you think that?" Trent growled back, pointing at the lifeless body on the ground.
The two men glared at each other, but the shrouded figure beside Trent did not move. Leavfa was not allowed to move, but at this point, her entire body was numb from never leaving this place.
The Sheep Folk Princess prayed that there might be a chance for it all to end, but the chances of that were minimal. The Lichtar had complete control of her every move, and it also prevented her from dying from things like hunger, thirst, or exhaustion.
"No! We have lost them all! Even Kena!" Geth raged, throwing his Purple Demon arms in the air.
Geth was a massive Demon Fallen, and his face was a twisted mass of horns and teeth. The creature's visage was even troubling for Trent to look at when it was pleased, but now it was horrifying.
"That is impossible!" Trent tried to counter, but the Fallen's face said that it was true.
"They have discovered how to remove the Lichtar. To make things worse, now they have gained most of what was left of your army! Now you have no way to make more!" Geth yelled at Trent, and the man shrunk back.
Pendra had been a failure, and now Trent had no way to create an army, but there was more than one way to shake a stick.
"It is not over yet. I am already working on securing the other Queen that is already fertile and is already creating more workers. The group I sent should already have gained access to the hive with the information that I received from Leavfa," Trent explained, slowly regaining his composure.

"This pathetic creature again! Have you not learned your lesson yet?!" Geth sneered.
"No! There is something about that Queen that affects her visions! Leavfa has never been wrong before this, and I have never had any reason to do so. You and I know we would not have come so far without her guidance!" Trent railed against Geth, and the Fallen relented but did not change his expression.
"Regardless, you have just fed the enemy with more troops, and now you have kicked the BeeHive. What do you think the Little Queen will do now? Leave you to continue your plans? The ones that are going to be all explained in the same detail that you made them in!" Geth snapped, and that forced Trent to close his mouth.
There was no denying that Kena and all the rest would tell all of his plans, but there wasn't really much to tell. Trent was going to overthrow the kingdoms, even though he had failed in his first attempt.
"Now, we must leave this place, or we will be found before we can recover our forces. What will you do with the Infertile Queen? She could be fodder, but she is weak and useless," Geth said as he turned to leave.
"I will just leave her. Considering the time that we have wasn't on her already, there is no point in trying to get blood from a stone. I will cover her in the Lichtar, and then she can be a little surprise from the Little Queen and provide another distraction," Trent said and then followed Geth out of the Cave.
Leavfa was left alone, as she always was, but something had changed inside of her. This was not the first change, but this one was the greatest that she had viewed.

Since Leavfa had been kidnapped, she lived a life filled with visions of horrors that she knew would come true. Trent forced her to tell him what would happen, and then we would alter his plans until they succeeded in Leavfa's visions.
That was until she had seen the Beautiful Queen, Ashia. Like a light that burned away the darkness Leavfa had condemned herself, visions of the Queen made hope leak into her souls for time.
The first time that Leafva was forced to make a prophecy for Kena to capture the Queen, something had happened. Leavfa had been able to lie and not explain the vision as it was.
Leavfa could not show emotion or move, so she had been allowed to silently cheer while Trent had raged when Kena had returned empty-handed. Now, The Queen had done it and freed so many of the trapped women.
For the first time since she had been captured, Leavfa could see a future where she would be able to run free. Leavfa would have new sisters in that same future, and she would be holding their hands while she ran.
[Ashia's View]
I walked over to the massive Elephant Folks body with Beezli's help and looked down at the woman. She was covered in a gold layer of nectar, but it wasn't as golden as my own Royal Honey.
"The Nectar will remove the Lichtar and heal most injuries, but I am afraid that some will die even after that. These poor creatures have been forced to start away the entire time that they have been controlled. On top of the ones that will die, there will be many that will not be able to recover from the things that they were forced to do," Beezli explained as she walked up beside me.
I was frustrated and angry. Even after winning, it still felt like we had lost, but I was not going to let this bring me down.
"No, you are wrong. They all will recover, and then I will return each and every one of them to their homes! Too many have been lost already; can you keep all the ones that are going to die in stasis until I can figure something out to help them?" I asked.
"I can, but what are you going to do to help them right now?" Beezli asked curiously.
"Right now? Nothing, but I will keep them safe until I can figure out something. Let's go and talk to Pellata, and I need to tear a strip off Ryan!" I said as I turned my smashed up QBee Drone to limp down the side of the mountain with Beezli's help

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!

MARY: The Dreadful
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] "You have to survive, Adam. You have to win." This is not a story starring Mary, because Mary is already dead. She bled out on her front doorstep following a sudden three-day absence. Seven years have passed, with her little brother—Adam—now standing at eighteen years of age. Following his sister's death, he lived the life of a delinquent, wandering the grimy streets of the city of Steeldale. All it amounted to was years of street fighting experience, no proper home and an uncertain future at a second-rate university. Unbeknowst to him, the day before university, he will be thrust from Steeldale into a brand new world. It is a world where a cherry red sky gazes down upon a fragmented continent, on which civilisations from other worlds have been dumped like refuse. The souls of man leak from their fingertips, coalescencing into superhuman powers and horrible fleshy monstrosities. Tribes of refugees clash against each other, attempting to carve out a place in this unrefined space. With no choice, Adam must traverse this dangerous new world, with Mary's shadow following him every step of the way. This is my entry to the April 2021 Writathon. Chapters will be posted as I write them.
