Chrysalis

Chapter 1255

Master approached, an enormous core held firmly in his mandibles.

[Hey there, Crinis! Hope the consultation went well. Did the rock-heads have some good suggestions for you?]

Crinis writhed her tentacles happily as the giant ant approached and placed the core down in front of her.

[They did. Though I don’t think you should talk about them that way. I get the feeling they wouldn’t like it.]

[Bah. Granin gets mad no matter what I say to him. Ignoring them, I’m glad you were actually willing to correct me on my poor behaviour! That’s a step forward in your quest for independence!]

Held in a small ball with only a dozen or so limbs out, Crinis’ body froze in shock.

[Oh my goodness! I’m sorry!]

truly, she didn’t understand it. What she wanted? She wanted to serve her master, the one who had brought her into this life by using a core. It wasn’t any mystery, there wasn’t any doubt, not for Crinis, of how or why she’d come into this world. She was a pet, and she felt that bond to her Master
