Chrysalis
Chapter 1019
I really hate this.
And when I say that, don’t think that I’m speaking lightly or any such thing. This isn’t one of those times when someone says they hate it when they put their socks on inside out, or they hate it when their food is a little cold.
I mean I hate this.
Currently, I sit, a sullen lump of sparkling carapace, in the centre of a vast formation of ants. There are scouts roaming and looking for threats. There are healers monitoring my condition. There are squads of soldiers and generals patrolling around the clock. There are teams of mages tunnelling beneath me and fortifying the stone.
Even the humans are in on it! I can see Beyn from where I sit, leading the gathered faithful in some sort of ceremony whilst his followers weep and point at me. Some even fall to their knees, raising their hands to the sky as if overcome with emotion.
I’m just evolving! This is what monsters are supposed to do, right?! It happens all the damn time… nothing special is going on over here.
[Do I really have to sit here and wait?] I complain for the hundredth time.
[Yes, Master,] Crinis says happily. [You aren’t allowed to move until the fortress is complete.]
I give her the evil eye, which she brushes off easily. The little murder-ball has been way too pleased by this turn of events. Having me under this absurd lock-down protocol seems to have finally relieved her of a deep-seated source of stress.
Namely, me.
She’s busy humming to herself and weaving her tentacles into fantastic shapes in order to practise her control, pleased as punch that, for once, I can’t get myself into trouble.
[What about you, Tiny?] I cast about for an ally. [You must be bored out of your brain, right? Want to break out and leave?]
My first ally on Pangera opens one eye lazily. Then he yawns.
[Sleepy,] he says, before he closes his eyes and rolls over.
[Traitor,] I grumble.
Invidia is my only hope now. The green eye blazes as he stares down at me from his position on top of Tiny.
[Give your levelssss to meeeee,] he hisses.
