"Messia, your page fills up most of my view! Can you see this?" I asked as I read over the transparent page of information floating in the air.

"Yes, it seems I have many interesting tasks, but I am curious about the Surrogate Mother Trait. Does that mean I will birth your child like the mammal races? I am also your mate?!" Messia asked me with unrestrained interest and excitement that looked adorable on her and made me glitter inside.

"Me as well, but I am not sure about the specifics. Queeny, can you help us out?" I asked, and Queeny appeared.

"After you Mature at level five, you will be able to implant your Royal Wives with your eggs. Once you evolve, you will be able to edit the genomes of your Royal Wives Eggs you fertilize your own and give them up to three Genes before birth. Once you Mature, you will be able to eat on your own, and once you evolve, you will be able to chew solids," Queeny explained to me, but my head was spinning.

I could do what? Make two girls have a baby? Implant Messia? What?

"Okay, hold on, you said that I could do what? How do I implant her? Then I can make her have my baby?" I asked in severe confusion.

"None of this is important to a level two Queen. Do you not have something that you are supposed to be doing right now?" Queeny buzzed at me.

Dammit, she was right, but I would have some questions to be had when this Royal evolution business was over! Though hearing that I would be able to eat on my own was a relief, and then the chewing part was even better!!

"Fine. Yes, you are right, and I do need to get going. Let's go, my Royal Wife, and see what the rest of our merry little kingdom is up to, okay?" I asked, but then a message popped up.

"Did you see that?" I asked after closing the window, and Messia nodded her head and then pulled the door aside for me to leave.

"Looks like now that I have the skill, you get more information with it in case you haven't scanned the person. I wonder what she did to get the level increase?" Messia asked.

The two of us took hands and flew into the air, but less than a meter off the ground. Even in the village, I was iffy about flying up to two high, thoughts of Bee-eating birds getting me filling my head, but I tried to focus on the problem at hand.

"I would assume that it would have to be something to do with the Weasels and them breaking into the Cockatrice hut. Maybe she figured it out?" I pondered as we flew over, but a large group had gathered around the hut with the girls.

The two of us lighted on the ground and then walked over to the large group, but then we decided to stay back some. There was a lot of dirt flying around in the air, and the Ferret were the ones doing it.

The girls saw us, and then they came over to join us, pushing us back from the group and around the corner, where it was a lot quieter. Leah had dirty hands, and the rest of her didn't look much better, but Pixie, Talli, and my lovely Miamsa were all still clean.

"Leah, why are you so dirty?" I asked in confusion.

"Miasma found the Weasel tracks and tracked them back to a hole in the ground. We found it near the back of the hut. They were using it to get in and out with the birds. The hole was covered well, and I was astonished when she told me to start digging," Leah explained, but then Miasma piped up.

"I asked the men to go inside and block the hole so no birds could get out, but it was taking too long for just Leah to do it. The funny talking brothers came over as asked to help, and then when they started, the rest came with them, and now we have this," Miasma explained, pointing out to the crowd that was working furiously.

"What is the plan after that?" I asked.

"I am going to make a special stone wall I have been working on! I can take stones and force them into hexagon shapes with no centers. Then I go and drop them each into the trench that they are digging, and they will connect together like this!" Pixie said excitedly as she held two of the hexagonal hollow stone shapes she had just described.

I watched as she threw the pair on the ground, and the two snapped together and aligned perfectly on the ground. Pixie bent down and put a hand directly over top of each one and then started to lift her hands.
