A.N (Remember I'm not saying bees shot things from their backside, it's a novel, not necessarily based on earth. Enjoy.)
" so you have a storage magic power?" Asked Zara and I nodded feeling prideful about it" yeah , I told you that I have everything figured out". " You are very fortunate, with a power like that you don't have to worry about people trying to steal" yeah I guess he is right, he didn't have a backpack but was wearing a storage ring. While walking we smelled a very beautiful intoxicating smell , after walking for a bit we saw so many tall , big , wide spread flowers and they smelled amazing. It looked like a flower jungle and there were bees flying about, the bee's size was that of a normal size dog. Truly a weird but beautiful sight to see.
" Our luck has returned, there's about 20 something bees! come on Claudia we can actually finish this quickly but" said Zara and I stared at him while he gave me a sweet innocent smile " please borrow me your shield" I rolled my eyes and created an aqua shield for him then created one for myself. We walked in and saw how the bees noticed eyes, there was nothing special about them they just looked like over grown bees. My jaw dropped when they turned their backs on us, a rain of poisonous spikes followed being shot from their butts. While I trusted my aqua shield Zara did his spell " Dark magic circle, dark door circle " his dark circles swallowed all the Poisonous spikes that were shot towards him. The poisonous spikes that landed on my aqua shield jumped back towards the bees and what followed shocked me. The bees big eyes glowed and they created a yellow shield that absorbed the spikes.
Fired my Thunderstrike Cascade causing the shield to get destroyed. Again the rain of poisonous spikes descended on us , Zara had his dark magic door circle open absorbing every one of them. When the Spikes bounced back they created another yellow shield in which I destroyed it with my Thunderstrike Cascade. They shot another wave of spikes and I shot four aqua shields towards them, the spikes didn't do anything to them but bounce back to their owners and because they had no shield some were hit while some got out of the way. Because of that beautiful bouncing ability my aqua shields had, i was able to capture four bees.
" Good Claudia , when the spikes bounce back to them destroy their Shield for me" said Zara and I got ready kinda guessing his plan . They attacked and their spikes bounced back towards them causing the to create their yellow shield, I fired my Thunderstrike Cascade that destroyed the shield. There is more than 20 bees who are level 3 and they combined their powers to create this shield that I'm able to destroy with my Thunderstrike Cascade. Calestia wasn't joking when he said it's the most powerful lightning. As soon as the sheild was destroyed Zara shouted his spell that released all the poisonous spikes towards the bees, they didn't expect such a reversal, it looked like we changed nature making the rain ascend instead of descending...
23 bees in total , and to be honest hunting beasts sure is fun and exciting. Having to face different types of beasts with different kinds of abilities is definitely something I will devote myself to for the rest of my life. " Wipe that goofy smile off your face, we still have to worry about flies" said Zara taking a step forward but it resulted with green roots wrapping tightly around his legs. " what the hell!" They were fast already going up his waist and I saw him make a pained face, I freed him with my ice slashes.
Infront of our eyes the big tall flowers uprooted from the ground. There were seven of them and we coould see their mana stones that were protected by their roots that we're moving like snakes searching for preys. We got to see their faces that didn't have eyes only a mouth with sharp pointy teeth. " Be careful of those roots, they absorb energy very PAINFULLY" warned Zara , I barely have energy left in me. Like he knew what was on my mind he threw me a potion from his storage ring.
I drank it in one gulp, one of the flowers opened its mouth and we smelled a beautiful fragrance but what came out of its mouth is a green disgusting ball that I'm sure will definitely not make you smell good when it hits you. It headed for Zara and he jumped back leaving the ground to take the hit instead. It melted a hole on the ground making Zara and I to share a look. We nodded and took off without hesitation , we ran and ran without looking back. A wise man knows when to give up and we are those wise 'mens' !
Luckily the flowers didn't follow us and after seeing that we've ran quite a distance we stopped. " I have good news and bad news, which one would you like to hear first" asked Zara, " the good news" , " the good news are we can hunt for the flies tomorrow and the bad news are we can do it tomorrow, after tomorrow or yesterday we will still have to go through those flowers" no problem then , we will go through toda-morrow I'm tired and even though potions help, my brain still feels tired from experiencing all that...
Today I couldn't sleep, everything was rushing in and I was being flooded with all the terrible memories. It felt like the few good memories I had were erased and I'm now left with just the terrible ones, something was convincing me that those were the only memories I have. It was scary, I felt alone and neglected again. Even the lake monster memory has been changed somehow having a terrible ending where I don't tap to my magic by fluke and Calestia doesn't appear to save me. It was like a nightmare with my eyes open and I wasn't able to break out of this state until morning.
