Wrapped in a sheet of mystic winter, out of season, and devastating to the flora and fauna native to those silvered shores. A rare ecosystem found nowhere else, now threatened. Flowers wilted, shrubs shrank, fruit pulled too unripe from vine. And the Loyal Beelot, our Illerir'suikayal held the lowest production since before they were liberated from those barbarians who kept them caged. It was only for the suddenness of this mystic storm that the Labourer's guild of el'Haelun'cihi had made the decision.To call upon all allies of Bee kind. Issuing word to all nations of the Beeliance, that time has come for a Roundup. Brave champions came from far and wide. Lasso and boots and hats in hand. The learned wee-folk of the land, the Halflings arrived already armed with tools of the trade, and Druii and great Krugmenistani philosophers. Even Balianic warriors who arrived from the lands of the south came to lend their strength on this which was looking to be the most difficult of roundups. At once we gathered. A great host of citizen Bee-keepers and now foreign friends, and off we went, following the heel of Pamphilos who first brought back the beelots and, lassos distributed, they ventured forth into the depths of the Great Wildlands. Where the flowers yet bloomed and the one by one, the great Rodeohalflings and Herdsmali returned, Beelot in tow. TAKEN from the places they fled to, and returned they were, to be counted and tagged. -Average 'Aheral Beekeeper It was ONLY through the great efforts of all the Beeautiful allies! From Honeyhill, to the Balianic honeyclub, and Long-standing Norland, and ceremony of the learned Krugmeni Shamans, that every Beelot was bagged and tagged! Though, fearing their escape, a tried and true Apiarial technique employed, one by one they were taken from above to the beetfields below, which remained unclaimed by snow, thanks to the shield of the mountains and the estates of High-walled Haelun'cihi, we roped them there; and as the EVER-LOYAL Beelots began their blessed toil, a deafening drone was heard above... Betrayal! A swarm of the Illerir'Suikayal poured over the hill! With violent intent, these insurgents came upon us! They bumbled with rage and fury as they barreled towards us. With rapidity our bravest citizens rose their arms to defend themselves and the fields! The Beelot swarm crashed upon the elven line, Urukhiim swung axes and slung curses, though the beelots swarmed over the defenders to face our magicians in the rear! Defenders, pierced deep by stingers like daggers, and mouthparts like hedgetrimmers, but quick thinking by our scouts lured away much of the violent swarm to be pacified... And just as the battle was thought to be won, an enormous Bee crashed through the line. -Buzzzzzbuzzz A fiendish JUGGER-BEE! A bee like a bear snapped and pierced and clawed at the defenders, but BRAVE VALAZAER! Slayer of many Beelots, stood 'Thill-to-Beelot. His blade clashed and slashed deflecting its attacks, and by the time the raging blows drove him in that stand, the grave magic crashed into its carapace, and the fiend quickly slain by piercing blade of that brave defender. Fighting even as his leg coursed with venom, and bees nipped his ankles. As soon as the swarm was dispersed, the beelots we held secured returned to full productivity. Through this cold, we can be assured our blessings through the efforts of great friends and greater comrades. Though the sting of betrayal yet courses through us, and our productivity restored, we must ask ourselves. How could this betrayal happen, for we, who give the Beelots nothing but privilege greater than those of the Bees held in other lands, show them nothing but love and defense within our great citystate 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
