A baker who has never hesitated in a fight
Though he’s weak, he lacks the bravery of any knight
He’s proud to make the finest bread on any battlefield
Many injured heroes who eat his bread are soon healed
The two men nearest to the lazy bug were brave and bold
And Bob seemed even braver than Charles the baker was old
They, along with dozens of the their comrades circled round
Meaning to make quick work of the monster they had found
Achievement: I Forgot About That...
It’s possible I overlooked a very crucial fact
When they see a monster, this is how most folks react
It might be a good idea for you to go now
These jerks don’t appreciate you cuteness anyhow
“All those portals opening at once was quite a shock
I guess the gods’ warning were a lot more than just talk”
“It is lucky that most of them started heading west
There’s a little village there, but it’s still for the best”
Sting could understand them as they spoke about their day
How the whole town had gone to go chase monsters away
But for some reason they had all headed west of here
But right now those issues were the reason for Sting’s fear

Sting wanted to tell them he had not come there to fight
But the only thing his mouth could do right now was bite
They all tried to attack him with their swords and other things
And all that Sting could do was fly away on his quick wings
He looked behind as the bread cart grew smaller down below
And wished he’d taken a few more before he had to go
A mage had started throwing some attacks up at the bee
But he was quicker than any bug known to history
Sadly he flew higher, then toward a distant hill
Daydreaming about a place where he could eat his fill
But if the villagers he met refused to let him stay
How could he enjoy the taste of bread again some day
Achievement: Cheer Up
Don’t be sad my little friend, you’ll figure things out soon
Don’t let your dreams be dampened by one dark afternoon
Speaking of which, it sure has been dark for quite a while
Such weather would even make the God of Vampires smile
Everything was still so new and yet it changed so fast
The beautiful world he had found was not so overcast
He settled in a tree atop a lonely little hill
Hoping no more trouble would find him if he stayed still
He watched the portals opening, far away and nearby
And recalled his urge to fly through one, not caring why
He was glad he’d found this world but still couldn’t find rest
And knew of no place where he could safely set up a nest
For a while the big bee lamented his position
But soon there came another change to his situation
The portals started opening much faster than before
In every direction he saw a new open door
At first he didn’t panic, because he still had his speed
But soon he didn’t have the escape route which he would need
And those that came out of the portals were not weak at all
There were giant monsters wider than his tree was tall
