As Keri and Jilly were talking, Veronica was watching them with interest. Coming to the keep with Kazz had been a split-second decision she had made out of loneliness and pure jealousy of her sister's relationship with the Master...Mex.
That part was still hard for her to remember. Candace and Veronica had known Mex as their master since he came to this island.
The two of the women, still girls at the time, had been running from a large group of Gnolls. Their mother had just been killed by the same group.
Both girls thought that they were going to die when they were chased into a corner. As the mangey creatures closed on the girls, that was when they had met their master for the first time.
Mex had been in his massive demon form and had come out of nowhere. A monster the same color as the sky and like nothing either of the girls had ever seen before.
As Mex had finished slicing the Gnolls into small pieces, the girls had both crouched back in fear.
Veronica was no longer embarrassed as she watched Jilly with Keri, but it was strange to watch. Considering the way Jilly acted so aggressively when Kazz was around, this was always a more interesting side for Veronica to see.Together, Jilly and Keri touched down into the water, but Keri didn't seem to notice at all as her shaking toes pierced the water. She was visibly shaking, and a thin line of yellow ran down the front of Jilly but was washed off as they both entered the water.Jilly made no complaint about it so as to not embarrass her further. Within moments, the two women were up to their chests in the water, but Keri was still shaking and was clenching her burning eyes closed.Jilly had to hold back her laugh and then leaned down to kiss Keri's forehead."How much farther do we had to go, and why did you do...?!" Keri started to ask but then stopped talking as she tried to grab onto Jilly more and splashed.Keri froze, and then slowly open
Fleeing for her life while Fearcania slaughtered her siblings, Lizy had frantically spun a sail as she ran and dodged. Strangely, Lizy had remembered that she had felt stronger each time more children were killed around her.It had almost been like she was receiving part of each of their lives as they died. It helped to strengthen and give her the energy to move faster.Lizy's scrambled with the others as she frantically created the sail her body was telling her to. The only thoughts at the time had been to get to the edge of the crater she was in.The Magenta Steel Silk cocoon was at the top of a volcano in the middle of the Hydralica Ocean known as Deaths Summit Island. It was a single massive Island that was all volcanoes that stretched up into the clouds.This would be seen as cruel and unfair to the outside watcher and her children. Yet, the ancient Queen didn't do this because she wanted to.Fearcania knew that this was the only way for the s
During the storm, Lizy and the surviving spiderling found the island she lived on now and had decided that landing on it was better than dying in the storm. The group of fifteen spiderlings landed on the island, and this was before the Demons had arrived.Lizy and her group had thought that they had finally reached safety, and in a way, they had; the creatures of the island left them alone. They found the lava lake that is controlled by the Demon Lord Dao, but Lizy soon learned the value of her mother's words.Things had been good for the first two weeks, and Lizy had even gotten close to one of her sisters, Mackenna. The two hunted together and even would share their meals before eating them or trading before eating.Then one of Lizy's brothers disappeared, but no one knew where he had gone. Mackenna and I, like the others, had just assumed that he must have left to go to explore.One day later, another one disappeared, and all the spiderlings started to
Once the girls were done with their bath and were about to leave the bathroom, Keri spoke up."Aunty, I have an idea for the boat!" Keri said as Jilly was drying her off."Hmm? What kind of idea are you thinking of?" Jilly asked after she finished toweling Keri."Since we can't really see the big monsters coming when we are on top of the water, what if we went under?" Keri asked, and Jilly raised an eyebrow forcing herself not to say exactly what she thought of the idea."Well, that might be a good idea, but there are only a few of us that breathe underwater. The most important one would be Kazz, and he can hold his breath for a long time, but not for a day. We would constantly need to come up for air, but I can see your point," Jilly explained, but that didn't take the excitement out of Keri."Yeah! I know that most can't breathe water, but I am sure we could figure it out if all of us worked together. We should go talk to Kieta! I saw her working
Every project turned out the same, and while at Mex's Keep in the hills of the state of Deslanitia, Kieta had fallen deeper into her sadness. Even though Mex didn't care if she created anything, Kieta cared and knew Mex was constantly criticized for keeping her around.Mex had noticed this but was not sure what to do about it. At the time, not even his wife or anyone had respected him, so he had no one to turn to for help.Then the ruling Rank C Demon Queen, Deslantia, forced Dao out of his Castle and Gardania.After discovering Doa's demon farms, the state's ruler was told by the Scourge himself to remove him. The farms would restrict the number of higher-ranked Demons the ruling King could produce to fill his own ranks.The Demon King, Scourge, was constantly under siege from other high Ranking Demon Kings, but this was normal. The battle rage the demons fed off was literally how they survived and trained the best fighters.Anyone that died wasn'
"Umm, er, no, I have a bunch of work that I must complete first!" Kieta blurted out as she turned away in embarrassment.Part of her did want to go, but there was still so much more for her to do, but seeing Keri had stirred up memories and feelings. The way she seemed genuinely interested in everything and how close in size she was to Kieta started to make her feel strange inside, but she was an old woman now.Or that is what Kieta still assumed about herself, but that wasn't true. Kazz's Ranching System had restored her to that of when she was a young woman.In all the excitement, she hadn't even looked at her own hands clearly. Her only worry was to be able to finally fix all of her creations, and Kieta never looked at her reflection anymore.Jilly had already figured that Kieta wouldn't want to come, and Veronica was disappointed, but Keri was a different breed than the other two. Unknowing of Kieta's inner struggles, Keri ran over before Jilly knew s
As Jilly started to explain what the plan was, Lizy screamed."NO! That is stupid, and I will be building the ship!"The scream had made the girls all go silent, and everyone turned to the black-haired woman to stare in wonder. Jilly turned her head slightly to the shorter woman and tried to hold back a groan, but failed, and Lizy's face started to get red with her rising temperature."No, you can come along if you want and help, or you can go build on for you to float around in, but we are going to work on this together. Do not test me right now woman, if it wasn't for Kazz, you would already be inside my belly," Jilly said in a dangerous tone and then turned back to the others.As Jilly started to talk to the other, Lizy started to shake from her frustration with everything. Lizy couldn't get anything to line up in her mind with all the voicing inside of her head.Even though Lizy knew she should stop, her mind was a mess. It prevented her from t
Lizy felt lightheaded because of all the stress getting to her, and her body shrunk down on its own. She collapsed on the ground in front of the tiny women, but now they were only slightly smaller than her.Suddenly, the women that weren't involved decided to find other things to do. All except for Nushi and Nixi, those two stayed to watch things unfold."Why does that Keri girl have Kieta with her?" Nixi asked, and Nushi looked through the page she was on."Do you know who Mati is? I guess Keri reminds her of that girl and is allowing herself to be dragged along. Hmm, this is strange," Nushi explained to Nixi but then became distracted as she started to read intently."You can read other people's minds? Can you read mine?" Nixi asked almost jokingly, but she was curious."You don't actually want to know the answer to that question, trust me," Nushi said, and then looked up at a glaring Nixi and asked, "Do you know Who Fearcania is?"Nixi's
