Epic of Bee

In the end, we decided to head back outside with the other girls. Tita gave me the rough side of her rough for wanting to go off without dealing with the people I already had here.

She made a good point, and Thiamon agreed that getting our people all as subjects were our best course of action.

Now we were back outside of the ship and walking back to the village. Leah and Riza were walking with me, but the rest of my wives had said they were going to stay back.

"The three of Pixie and us will go start moving our stuff from the hut. While we do, Talli and Xani will work with Miasma to run some tests on her spray to see what other uses it could have," Messia had explained to me.

"Good, Then I will take Leah and Riza with me, and we will start sorting the village," I had told her, and now the three of us were almost back to the village.

After looking at my points, I was a little worried about how I was going to go about even doing this. Both Thiamon and Tita had gained a level from my idea's badgering, which was good, leaving me with five points.

The problem was that I would need a lot more than the five points to do both the Weasel and Ferrets! This whole thing was making my head hurt.

I wish that there was a manual or something that came with the system.

*Poof!*

"You need to create projects that you can get the people to do right away. To get to the first level, all the person needs to do is complete any task that is related to the Class that you have chosen for them," Hilda explained.

"So, do you mean I just have to get them to do their jobs, and they will level up?" I asked.

"Yes, the system isn't meant to bog you down with more responsibilities. The point of the Queen system is to make your life and role as a Queen easier. You just need to get everyone sorted into groups and then get them to do their jobs after that, easy," Hilda explained to me.

I still had a hard time believing that this was just going to be some easy walk in the park, but I wasn't about to start complaining. What she said made sense, and everyone else had received their first level without much hassle, so maybe it was really that easy.

Once we got to the village, I had asked Tag and Sig to work with Thiamon and Tita to sort everyone into working groups. I was brought something that looked like a backless bar stool, and it turned out to be a good place for me to preach while waiting for the groups to finish forming up.

I wanted to get everyone into their respective workgroups and sorted it out before starting to speak. Once I had everyone in lines, I planned on talking to everyone at once, so I just waited and watched.

Everyone was divided into three groups, from what I could see. Hunter, cooks, and others, but this seemed severely lacking. I looked over the groups and sighed, there was no real way to separate them from this without knowing each person's job, but I would have to work with what I had.

"I will help you with suggestions to speed the process along. When you select the first five, I will give you a simple task for them to complete. Once it is complete, they will receive their level, and you will get your points back. This will also give you enough experience to complete your evolution, but you also must get to the required level of thirty and five hive tasks completed," Hilda explained to me.

I nodded to her and turned to the gathered groups. It seemed that Tita and Thiamon had directed everyone to where they needed to go, so it was time for me to get started.

"Thank you all for coming and gathering into groups like this. I am sure some of you know what is happening, but there are others of you that still have no idea. For those that don't know me, my Name is Ashia, and today I would like to ask you all to join me as my subjects," I explained to the crowd but was cut off by the roar of cheers.

I had somewhat expected that, but it was still a shock when the people started to shout out of nowhere. I waited for the crowds to quiet down some before I continued.

"I am glad to see all of your excitement and enthusiasm, and I am also very excited to have you all join me and the others. In a moment, I will start activating something called Hive Points. When I give these points, you will each flash with light, and it is very bright, so do not watch the others as they change, or you will be blind by the time this is all over," I explained to everyone.

"Will we all get to be the same color?" Asked a tall and lanky Ferret man.

"Yes, I think that you will all have the home team colors when I am finished, but you will also have new skills and abilities that will be put to good use to help our new floating kingdom prosper. Now, when you come up and receive your point, I will ask you to complete a task, and I ask that you do it fast," I told the gathered group, and they nodded to me in understanding.

I nodded to Thiamon, and he got the first group of five together and brought them forward. As he did, Riza leaned in and squeezed my shoulder comfortingly.

"You did very well, my Queen," Riza said with a smile in her voice.

Yeah, sure, I did great, but now I will be stuck on this stool for the next unforeseeable future to get flashed. Honey pots of joy this one was oozing with, sigh, kingdoms didn't build themselves.
