I thanked Gamble, and after he left, I took Miku's hand and led her into Riza and Joni's room. M&M had gone up to organize the Snake Folk for me to meet with them, Serria was going to meet with Raine, and I asked Xani if I could go for a walk with her, Beezli, and Pelleta before I left.
I had a busy schedule, but things were starting to move fast now, and I had to as well. Pendra needed to be rescued, but I couldn't just rush down there; there were things that I needed to get in order.
Riza and Joni were waiting with the frozen Leah, and Miku and I walked over to join them. I opened the case that Gamble had given me, and inside were three crystal needles that each had a dark orangish golden liquid inside them.
"After I inject Leah, I will leave you two with her, and then come, and then I will call you to the Flower Garden to come and bring Leah for her evolution. I will get a scan of the before and after because I am interested in seeing just how well this goes using your Royal Honey," I said to Riza, and she smiled shyly at me.
"If I can help out in any way, then I want to. So, if my Honey will help improve our people, then I will give you every drop I have!" Riza said as her nervousness turned into determination, making Joni Laugh and grab her arms.
"Maybe save a bit for your wives! I think that I might want to be covered in your Honey if Leah comes out stronger! That won't happen if you give it all away, though!" Joni scolded her, making Riza blush furiously.
I smiled at the girls as I pulled out the needle and then pushed the tip into the Honey covering Leah. The needle quickly pierced the Honey membrane and then slid into Leah's shoulder, and I pressed the plunger down.
I emptied the contents into Leah and then removed the needle, waiting for something to happen. At first, nothing happened, and I was holding my breath, but then the Honey membrane started to look different and was slowly melting off Leah.
"There, now we will leave you two with her, and it will be best if you help her get cleaned off. The girls licked me mostly clean, but I am not sure if you want to do that, Riza, considering," I said, and Riza nodded to me.
"Thank you, my Queen, we will take care of Leah, and then we will wait for your call to the gardens," Riza explained, and I nodded my head to her before turning and leaving the room with Miku.
"Well, that seemed to go as you had planned, and now you will go see Messia and Miasma, right? Do you need me? I want you to evolve Rixie before you leave since she will be coming with us," Miku said, and I nodded to her.
"Yes, you can go, but I will be activating the Swarm Evolution Center before I leave. I want to make sure that everyone is in top fighting shape, but we need to make sure that everyone is ready, including the Snake Folk. Get Rixie, Will, and John, and then I will call you all to come and meet me when I go to see Gamble," I said to Miku, and she gave me a strange look.
"What do you want all of us for?" Miku asked.
"Gamble said that the BeeBliss Serum helps everyone get to the max level for evolution. I need you all to go and make sure that everyone that still needs it has it. Once that is finished, then I will activate the SES," I explained, and Miku smiled and nodded her head.
"Yeah, that is a good idea. We are the most mobile people on the ship, and I guess that Gamble will be giving us the serum?" Miku asked, but I shook my head.
"The serum is already ready, but I would like you all there when I discuss the Holistic Threads with Gamble. What I have seen and might see with his help will be important to your mission. I think it best that you all are there when we talk about it," I explained to Miku, and she nodded and then stepped up to me to give me a kiss.
I moved forward at the same time and took her into my arms as we kissed. For a moment, the world disappeared for us, and the only thing that mattered was the soft, smooth, warm press of Miku's lips.
Miku pulled back, giving me a warm smile, and then leaned back into me, disappearing into a shadow. Then she was gone, and I turned and walked to the Honey Gate where Tag and Sig were waiting for me.
"Hey there, most Queeniest of Queen's! We are both excited to be coming with you today!" Tag said with a silly grin.
"Yes, It will be most excellent to be by your side, fighting again. I really hope that we can save your sister," Sig said, his voice losing some of its vigor when he mentioned Pendra, so I smiled at him.
"Don't worry, that is why we are doing so much planning right now. I want to make sure that we can bring my sister home safely, but that won't be easy, and we will have to fight her. Are you going to be alright with this?" I asked, looking directly at Sig, and he gave me a firm nod with a determined look.
"Yes, not to worry. I will be fine; I want your sister to make it more than you know! So I will be giving my all out there!" Sig said, and I smiled a firm smile.
"Good. This is not going to be easy, and we will not do this without a fight. What I need you to remember is that we can't help anyone if we lose. That means, if we can't stop the Lichtar, then we will have to kill Pendra with it," I explained, but Sig nodded.
"Yes, I am aware, but I know that this will be a mercy for her. I will do what needs to be done," Sig said, and I nodded and then motioned for the Honey Gate.
