The Bee Dungeon

Belissar stood before the Memorial. The wounded soldier with lightning stood before one of the others, who was standing on a bit of medicinal mana honeycomb. Medicinal workers hovered around while Belissar stirred up his mana as well. All the bees were looking at him. He took a deep breath and nodded.

A crackle filled the air as the wounded soldier’s lightning wings began to speed up, surge, and surround the rest of her body. A moment later, the lightning arced forward and out, striking the other soldier. The soldier began to convulse as lightning surged across her body.

Belissar quickly formed his own magic honey and brought his hand to the struck soldier’s face. Bits of lighting zapped his hand, causing sharp spikes of pain followed by numbness, but Belissar ignored it. The soldier slowly extended their proboscis and began to drink while the lightning soldier adjust the flow of the lightning, toning it down a bit.

The struck soldier flared her mana as she drank the magical honey. She rubbed her legs and remaining wings against the hairs of her body, trying to generate some static of her own. The lighting soldier backed off and let go of the lightning. That would make it easier for the struck soldier to take control of, but also meant that no one was currently managing the lightning surging across her.

Belissar held his breath as the soldier continued to convulse.

But then, Niobee landed by the soldier and began to dance. As she did, the Tower’s mana began to flow towards her. She then touched the soldier with an antenna and the mana flowed into the soldier. The soldier’s convulsing died down a bit.

The soldier’s mana flared as it was reinforced by both Belissar and Niobee. Her legs and wings moved faster as she began to generate lightning of her own.

And then…finally…the lighting across her body began to diminishing, instead pulling back and gathering to a point on her back. It slowly began to extended and curl.

Until it formed a pair of wings, just like the first wounded soldier.
