I was still reeling from Beatrice's suggestion that we intentionally bring mess makers into the castle. The very thought of it made me squirm with discomfort. The horrors! As scandalous as it first seemed though, ...
2023-05-19 14:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostBee looked on as Susan drilled their new members hard. She might have been a more demanding teacher than even Void, though she was definitely more hands-on. Void had just let Bee do her own thing while giving ...
2023-05-17 14:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostBee finally had brewed a dozen of her new acid attack potions. They weren't perfected yet, but she only had limited ingredients and vials to work with. This was the best she could do without a lot mor...
2023-05-16 14:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostBee felt reasonably good about leaving Tony to watch over the band of men they had just welcomed into the castle. Not that Tony would be able to fight five people close to his level, but she trusted that he wou...
2023-05-15 14:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostWhat's it like to be a god? I wasn't sure how to respond to such a question, even if the man could understand me. I didn't feel godly. But then, the system did tell me I had forme...
2023-05-14 14:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe five men outside of the gate looked at Bee with blank looks of confusion after her declaration. She couldn't tell if they thought she was joking or something, but she was starting to get a little insulted....
2023-05-13 14:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe report on the number of deserters was depressing. In all his time as a leader, Arthur had never had a problem with deserters en mass like this. Every commander had a few, of course. But this was well beyond...
2023-05-12 14:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe deer meat had lasted the humans a few days. Mary quickly seized the meat and rationed it out so that it wasn't wasted. People were very grateful to have the fresh food and went out of their way to thank ...
2023-05-11 14:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post"No? Really? I thought that one might have worked. Darn." Trent kept speaking, which only deepened the growing pit of horror in Bee's stomach. "How about… The Endless Cult! Ya know, 'cause Void's eternal?"

2023-05-09 14:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostBee, Tony, and Susan decided that they needed all needed to break for a little bit. Also, before they made any more significant decisions, they would need to talk to Trent and Mary. It would be best to see i...
2023-05-08 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostBee felt a slight bit of panic set in as she looked at Susan and Tony from across the desk. They met her stare calmly and assuredly. "I don't think I can lead all of this. I can be in charge of doctrine and...
2023-05-07 04:46:11 +0000 UTC View PostBee spent several hours working with Maranda to get her set up with the basics. It had taken longer than expected, but not by too much - the girl was laser focused on every word that came from Bee's mouth. ...
2023-05-06 04:29:14 +0000 UTC View PostHarold packed his belongings without too much of a rush. After all, he hadn't brought that much with him in the first place, and there was still plenty of time before the caravan moved out. Once he gathered his clothes fr...
2023-05-04 14:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostDo sheep need their coats? I hadn't thought about the possibility. Would I need to wait until tonight to harvest their fibers, or even longer than that? Still, I listened to the old man; he did know a lot abou...
2023-05-03 14:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostVoid went over to care for the sheep, leaving Bee standing alone with Tony and Susan in the middle of the yard. Looking around, Bee started to become aware of how much had changed since she was last here. The trip had only taken a few days, but so...
2023-05-02 16:09:22 +0000 UTC View PostRoscoe hurried back as fast as his rat legs would let him. What had he done wrong? He was sure that he had left plenty of troops back around the city to keep the humans boxed in, at least for longer than this. His recruitment drives were only part...
2023-05-01 14:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostBee watched the far-off bird move unnaturally fast in the air above them. It had only been up there for a few minutes, and it was really freaking her out. The speed was completely unreasonable, not to mention the zig-zagging direction changes; wor...
2023-04-29 19:59:06 +0000 UTC View PostThis patreon hosts more than one story and because I schedule chapters in advance each tier has their own post for each chapter.

2023-04-29 04:54:28 +0000 UTC View PostTalia was clearly having a panic attack. She frantically pointed at Cliff, Trent and Mary picking up their pace at her screams. Luckily, they were not far behind. Maybe they could help calm her down. Totally unconcerned by the com...
2023-04-28 16:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostBee looked up at Tony. That's right, he wasn't there for the whole infiltrator discussion with Susan. "Uh, you remember when I told you that she went to go tell people about us?"
Tony nodded. Bee looked at Susan to see if she wanted...
2023-04-27 14:01:02 +0000 UTC View Post"Lost sheep?" Susan froze. "Are you… Are you sure?"
Bee gestured towards Tony and the sheep. "I mean, yes. That's why we have so many of them."
"So many of them?" The taller woman frowned, noticing the flock of fluffy white beasts mi...
2023-04-26 14:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostI watched Felix's eyes as he tracked the arc of water I had sent hurtling toward him. With a smooth motion, he moved his stick inbetween his face and the incoming projectile. He had more than enough time to react as the spray struck the stick, spl...
2023-04-24 14:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostSusan took a couple of seconds to finish drinking the whole bottle. Afterward, Bee lowered her head back onto the ground. It wouldn’t take long for the potion to take effect, but the woman would still need to rest for a bit while it did. Still, ...
2023-04-22 14:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostPractice with my thrusters had gone well after the initial hiccups. After a day and a half of near-constant trial and error, I could maintain a consistent hover around six inches off the ground and move 75% as fast as I could on wheels. I had a fe...
2023-04-21 14:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostI was, quite honestly, in the slightest bit of a predicament. I looked down at the children below, staring up at me in awe. I was proud of them and sort of proud of my own achievement, but it really wasn't what I was going for. As I reached out wi...
2023-04-20 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe cat's extended claws barely missed the fluffy end of my mop. I had to act fast to keep the appendage from being ripped from my body. I started to back up, swerving one way then the other to keep the cat from catching the pompom, but no matter ...
2023-04-19 14:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe rising sun shot daggers of light through Bee’s eyelids. Reluctantly, they opened, glaring at the unwelcome intrusion. Glancing around, she saw dozens of headless, unmoving zombies scattered a stone’s throw away from their campsite. Another...
2023-04-17 15:19:27 +0000 UTC View PostArthur watched the streams of undead pour away from the city like a mold growing outwards. This was the worst-case scenario in his mind. Not only were the undead able to spread out over the countryside, but he and his people were still pretty much...
2023-04-16 14:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI wasn’t normally one to be self-conscious, but it felt like most of the castle had come to watch me cut the grass. What was so fascinating about it?
