"What the heck was that? Are we under attack?" Jill yelled the mont I arrived to check on them, her voice cutting through the aftershocks of the city-toppling tremors. I had no idea what was causing them, only that they had stopped for now.
"How the fuck am I supposed to know?" I said, irritation slipping out. "I rushed over to check on you guys." My priorities one, two, and three were staring at like I had answers to everything. To be more accurate, I better have the answers for everything. Just the push I needed to rember that I might not know what was going on, but I had inkling about who might be behind it.
The Sky Blossom city was built on a terrain where a terra quake was least likely to happen, yet it had just suffered a series of city-toppling tremors, right when the Stone Supre happened to be visiting the city. What were the odds it had nothing to do with the Stone Supre?
"Hang on a minute. I’ll go check on sothing," I said, trying to excuse myself but I didn’t get the chance. I was imdiately bombarded with questions.
"Where are you going in such a hurry? Why aren’t you telling us anything?"
"At least tell us if we’re under attack, so I can manage the employees."
"That’s it. I’m going to get so answers."
Jill, Susan, and Anna shouted respectively. That was when I realized that I went from being my own boss to having three difficult ones. The funny part was, I’d chosen them myself, and they hadn’t even bothered to find a leash before yanking it tight.
I looked at the three of them and said, "Why are you asking and reporting to ? I’m just the figurehead here. You’re the ones actually running and responsible for all my organizations. Why are all three of you wasting ti hounding for answers? Go find them yourselves and make sure my investnts are safe."
"We were doing exactly that," Jill shot back imdiately, clearly irritated. "Then they rushed us over here saying you wanted to see us and started asking weird questions, like whether we’d received so kind of ssage or sothing."
The three of them looked pissed. They’d been told to drop everything and gather, only to be asked stupid questions about texts and posts. When the terra quake hit, they tried to get a handle on the situation, but their beloved’s sycophants stopped them. They wouldn’t let them leave and refused to listen to reason.
So they tried to figure things out from there. It wasn’t easy, but they still tried. Then they saw their beloved arrive and figured he’d either handled the situation or, at the very least, had so answers. Instead, not only did he fail to give them any, he also had the gall to tell them they weren’t doing their jobs. So, sorry if they ca off a bit too strong.
I understood where the three were coming from. Honestly, they were confused as hell, but they were still doing what they could. They weren’t to bla. The ones at fault were my calamity daughter gems. I’d told them to keep the three together and not let them out of their sight, and then I forgot to update their orders after dealing with Sansa. If a Bloodkin had been in their place, this kind of confusion and misunderstanding wouldn’t have happened in the first place.
"Hey, I’m your boss. If I tell you to drop whatever you’re doing and co over so I can ask you a bunch of stupid questions, you do it without asking questions," I asserted before turning to leave. "You’re dismissed. Stop arguing with and go. You’re wasting my precious ti."
The three of them hurried back to their stations, but not before throwing looks cold enough to drag straight back to Winter Valley in the Dark Realm. I coughed to hide my embarrassnt, then headed toward the basent.
Just as I reached the dungeon gate, a dangerous energy burst out from within. Hive Spirit reacted instantly, deploying my Limitless celestial domain. It expanded to cover the entire newly shared campus of the TSR Guild and Fine Gold, trapping the energy and force within my limitless domain until it exhausted itself.
Then, just as I was about to rush into the dungeon gate, it spat out the entire vein of blood rule rocks it had housed, along with everyone inside, before collapsing in on itself.
It was a dungeon break. To be more precise, they’d straight up broken the dungeon seal. Fortunately, Hive Spirit deployed my Limitless celestial domain in ti to contain everything. Otherwise, it would’ve been a massive disaster.
To my disbelief, in the middle of the chaos, I saw Lil’ Baem expand and try to swallow Dredre whole. Dredre imdiately phased out of the physical plane, reappeared above the greedy reptile’s head, and slamd it with a wave of Breath of Erosion. After taking the direct hit, Lil’ Baem began to writhe in pain. In that pain it sohow managed to spit out a white fog that expelled the Breath of Erosion eating away at it and forced it out of the physical plane.
Seeing that Dredre had scared the stupid snake away and could handle herself just fine, I imdiately checked on Bloodette and Cortney. Only after I was certain they were safe and sound, despite the dungeon seal being forcibly broken, did I begin compressing the entire blood vein of blood rule rocks within my limitless celestial domain. I stored the compressed limitless celestial domain in my dinsional storage card, filtering out the card apprentices, supre beings, and a pixie.
A heavy silence lingered as they processed the reality of what they had survived. Then, like a dam breaking, they burst into cheers for managing to successfully break the dungeon seal and freeing Bloodette.
