Chapter 114 - Gaining A Queen.

--------Sondar POV--------

We took a few minutes to examine the newest spider companions, Shorunt says that he felt Vexsus mark on them so I can only assume that he tamed them. I could see the uses now that I've had a chance to calm down for a second, if these things can create the threads that stopped us dead in our tracks then we would have a great addition to our defense around the Base.

At the same time Kitsoma could only see Dollar signs as she thought the same thing except her thoughts were more along the lines of using the thread to make clothes and sell it.

"Shorunt are you able to communicate with them? Can they show us where Vexsus is." I shook my head to clear away the distraction and refocus on the rescue.

"Yes I can, but only slightly, it's like I'm trying to communicate through a thick barrier, only a few thoughts or even feelings are getting processed. But I'm making headway hold on."

A few seconds tick by before Shorunt sighs and then pats the spiders head.

"They said the last time they saw master was before he ordered them to run away and hide. Their queen was angered at Master for taming them and took master back to her nest. But that's not the bad news."

I looked at him waiting but he just stared at me. "Ugh, dammit man, what's the bad news?"

"It's mating season."

"Shit"

I knew what that meant, Vexsus was about to yet again create more hybrids.

"How long has it been since he was captured?" If it's been more 30 minutes to an hour than there is already a spider sack filled with dragon spider hybrids and who knows what happens after that.

"It looks like it's only been.... Yea, they say it's only been a few minutes. They were in hiding until they felt a similar connection with me and came over."

"Sweet, that's great, we have time to save him before he gets used as a baby gravy tap."

I started to hurriedly pick up dried sticks and leaves, anything that would burn, we needed to set this whole fucking thing on fire. These spiders were too high up in the tree to climb and up there they have the advantage. So next best thing.... Burn it with fire.

"Grayson, get over here and light this fire. Harper, Grace, Start focusing on some kind of wind spell. I want maximum coverage up there. I know Vexsus is gonna get hurt, but this little amount of fire wont be enough to kill him. He will be fine aslong as he eats alot."

They nodded and got to work. By now I noticed the spiders up top gotten sight of us and were curious to see what's going on.

"I see you up there peeking at us, So let My Brother go or suffer the consequences." It was Gaia who spoke up and I could see he was a excited for his first fight after being stuck in the base for so long. 

"Gaia, be prepared, if they shoot out those webs then it will be game over for us. I barely have the strength the brute force my way out of it."

He looks over at me and nods before grabbing a spear he had strapped to his back. It was the old thrown together ant mandilbe spear from back in the dungeon. It seems it has some kind of attachment for him but I've been over seeing his training with it and surprisingly he has show great talent. Only thing that is stopping him is this curse thing that he has that has mentally handicapped him from believing he can be strong.

"Uncle Sondar, it's done, Me and Harper decided on the Tornado spell, if we combine it with the fire it should cause mass damage in a wide area."

"Good work girls, wait for a few seconds, I have to atleast try and give Vexsus a warning before throwing him into a fiery inferno."

I stepped forward toward the huge spider nest and focuse magic into my throat.

"VEXSUS, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME BE PREPARED, WE ARE GOING TO LIGHT THIS WHOLE NEST ON FIRE TO SAVE YOU! IT WILL HURT BUT I KNOW YOU'LL BE OK!"

Not two second after I finished did I hear a loud female voice respond.

"DO NOT BURN DOWN MY HOME YOU MONSTROUS BASTARDS. YOU'LL KILL MY CHILDREN AND MY NEW HUSBAND!"

The Queen burst from the central nest and landed in front of me with Vexsus in tow. He looked drunk and was laughing with a goofy grin on his face. He noticed us for a few seconds but only gave us a slight nod before laughing again as he was carried like a bag.

"Leave this place and do not return, I will not repeat myself. The fact that you openly said that you would burn down my home is grounds for death, but in light of my new husband I will be merciful."

This Arachne was a damn good looking creature, Assets the size of Vexsus' Ego and a Queen Title to boot. This was going to be troublesome in just a few seconds. I sighed just as I heard a response that I knew was coming.

"Who the FUCK do you think you are? He was mine first. He was on his way to get us an exotic dinner, I laid claim to him long before you. Give him back or so help me I will destroy you and your family."

Kitsoma was fuming mad, I could tell because the flaming wisps were starting to merge and become a full blown cloak of flames around her.

"Little fox watch the way you talk to me. I am a queen that rules from above while you scurry around on the ground looking for scraps. You dare think you could be the mate of someone as majestic as my husband? He has the power to rule all. I feel it within my very soul, He and I will make the strongest children and rule the world side by side for eternity hahahahhahahah" 

The Queen seems to have a couple screws loose but not as much as Kitsoma when someone threatens to take away what's hers.

"I'll kill you." She utters with pure rage as the flames around her coalesce into a flaming armor with fox like features. I was honestly quite surprised to feel such power coming from her. She lost her powers but right now I could feel a power that damn near rivaled Vexsus when I first met him.

"Bring it little fox. Here Armadillo man hold my husband and don't run off, I'll get him back after this." Prescilla threw Vexsus towards me at such a speed that before I knew it I was gasping for air as we were both laid out on the ground.

-------Vexsus POV-------

As I laid there on top of Sondar still unable to move from being wrapped up in that queens thread I couldn't help but feel a tinge of pride at having two smoking hot women fighting over me. Granted one was half spider that made my skin crawl but hey I can easily over look that. And the other threatened to burn the world to ashes just with how pissed off she was. Both were powerful and I was their target, Gotta say.... I'm loving the attention.

"Care to get off me now you fat bastard. I can't breath."

"I can't dipshit, don't you see that I'm tied up right now? I can only move my head to watch this cat fight in front of me."

With a huff Sondar pushes me off and I roll a few feet away, I tried to stop myself but I was completely tied up except my head, you would have thought I was a mummy."

"Come untie me quick, I want to watch this."

"Ok, but it's gonna burn." Sondar said with a shit eating grin.

"Grayson, care to do the honors?" Sondar said as he looked over at my son who now had the same grin as he eyed me from above with a red hot fireball in his hands.

"Hold on tight dad, it's gonna get hot." Then like someone spiking a volleyball he hurls that damn thing straight into my gut. Yea it did a hell of a job burning through the threads. But at the same time it burned through me to. I had a scorch mark around a hole the size of a baseball straight through me. 

"MMMM you little bastard.... When did you get so strong?" 

"I been sparring with Uncle Sondar and getting fire mastery lessons from mom. Me and the others have been training like crazy to help out around the base so you don't have to risk yourself so much anymore."

With a breath I started to heave myself up, the hole visibly closing as the pain fades away. I grabbed the little shit by the shoulders and smiled.

"I think we should spar when we get home don't you think? It's time for a dad and kid fighting match. 1v4 sounds good right? But right now let your old man watch as these two smoke shows fight for me."

"You're an idiot you know that?" Grayson said with a smile.

"Don't talk about your dear old dad like that. Go punch a tree or something ya meat head."

Looking back at the action, I saw it was in full swing. I saw Kitsoma running around with a speed that was definitely close to Sondar's level when he uses his life magic. Her flame cloak or whatever it is was burning the nearby dried leaves trees while leaving scorch marks behind in her wake. Prescilla was a champ though. She would send out waves after waves of blue glowing thread that was would last for a few seconds before burning up in Kitsoma's flame. They did slow her down but just barely. Then Prescilla would throw out some kind of liquid from the same hole she produced thread from and sprayed it around to douse the fires that threatened her home. 

As the fight was going on I stopped seeing them as two women fighting for me and instead as two warriors with a balanced style that drew eachother to a stale mate.

Prescilla focused on slowing down her opponents for easy kills and poisoning but Kitsoma was focused on speed and using her flames to burn everything. As the fight went on they both started making subtle changes to their fighting style to try and one up eachother. Kitsoma burned hotter as she poured more magic into her flames, In turn Prescilla started enhancing her liquid that I know known to be her poison, and using it to douse the flames to an easier to handle tempature. This went round and round until eventuall both stopped and were on the ground panting in exhaustion.

"Ladies, that was fan-fucking-tastic. I never seen a more fruitful sparring session than this." I walked up to them and said while clapping. I could see anger still in their eyes but I didn't care about that. I had a plan to bring Prescilla into the base and add her to my side. She had uses, and I wanted to see where it would go.

"I want you both. Kitsoma you and me are in love, I will never ever leave you and I find this so heartwarming that you came to rescue me. Prescilla, I don't find being kidnapped with the intention of baby making a good first date. Why don't you relocate with me and my family back to my base, set up a home there, and we can see where it goes from a level playing field?"

Sondar and my children both facepalmed as they heard this.

*This guy is a moron.*

*How is he our dad?* 

I could feel the glares from them but didn't look back, instead I focused on the two women in front of me. One was huffing and puffing with exhaustion but was smiling, the other was looking at the former with a look of jealousy. 

"Darling, Do you intend to take more than one woman? Am I not enough for you?" Kitsoma said with a 'sweet' and 'gentle' looking smile, but behind it I felt like prey being looked at by a predator.

"Um... I mean.... Maybe? It's really up to destiny and fate?" I couldn't help but phrase it as a question as the intensity of her glares became more and more overwhelming.

"I will concede to this fox, what I did was uncalled for and seeing how strong my husba... I mean your wife is I will take this loss and follow you until a time in which I will claim you as my own."

Prescilla stood up with wobbly legs and declared without a care in the world. Even in losing she still had a sense of pride as a Queen.

I clapped my hands together and smiled.. "Great, then let me go grab some refugees I promised to bring along and afterwards we will all go back and find out a suitable living space for everybody."
