Chapter 1453: Wasps and Order
"What are you thinking about?" Mathilde asked as she noticed the waves of magic rushing around Plum.
Plum sighed and slowly turned around with a calm face, unlike her usual cheerful and joking self. "What we’ll find up there." She pointed at the clouds. "Even now, I still don’t know how to feel about it."
"Neither Yggdrasil nor Sylph would harm Arad, you, or anyone close to him. They know better." Mathilde shifted, "And if they tried, I’ll be here by your side."
Plum chuckled, her voice slowly changing, her eyes flashing with green flames, and her teeth shifting to resemble shark fangs. "You’ll betray your goddess just like that. Doesn’t sound right to me."
Most people saw fairies and spirits as creatures akin to bees, with hives of mostly female workers that serve one powerful queen, which was mostly right. It was right to the point that it was true that they’ll jump into death to protect the hive without a second thought, but one thing everyone misinterpreted about them was that fairies and spirits were more akin to killer wasps than bees, vicious, bloody, and outright psychotic when they needed to.
Fairies and spirits, even pixies, their weakest kind, are the kind of creatures that burrow into a man’s body in hordes to rip his organs out for fun. They attack in swarms of thousands, if not tens of thousands, at once and rip their enemies bit by bit.
What Arad and his family never saw was a spirit hive fighting; all they saw was the queens, Zephyr, Nar, Undine, Salamander, Plum, and the others. But Mathilde had seen the horrors; she had seen entire human cities eaten alive by the fairies and turned into a red mist of blood, she had seen demi-gods ripped cell by cell while they cried as the endless waves of blood-thirsty spirits tore them from every direction.
And right now, before her eyes, Plum stood, hundreds of thousands of spirits, fairies, and pixies all living inside her body, ready to jump out at any moment.
Like Yggdrasil, she was a massive tree that spread its roots through many worlds, and now, her main body is locked in the rift between Yog’s world and the mortal world.
The wood fairies had started to live in that massive tree, in Plum’s true body, inside that rift, and built their whole kingdom there. If Plum dies or is harmed, their kingdom would suffer, so they live with their queen, or die with her.
