Chapter 11

The morning after the night when Snow played the role of the 'Dark One' and dealt with the strange and horrible things that happened during those few significant hours. He wakes up in the tower vault which he has begun redecorating to be his bedroom. The flesh golems stand guard at either side of his bed and face the window as the sun rises and shines through the still broken glass. Snow sits up, and rubs the sleep from his eyes, and just sits there for a few minutes as his mind expands his mental reach across the still quiet network of just over a thousand minds. He travels from place to place seeing many of the fairies still sleeping peacefully, but a few have risen are preparing for the day, or are flying around lazily looking for anything of interest. He sends his perception across the desert and through the hidden nests where the fairies who are responsible for being the connecters to the two hubs of activity raise gardens, and amuse themselves by practicing magic, or by chatting with other fairies through the network. He stops when he sees one fairy sitting on a rock looking particularly sad.

This fairy has been assigned to an area in the grassy plains where there is nothing but yellow grass as far as the eye can see. She rests her chin on her knees and stares ahead into the swaying grass that rises far above her head. Snow decides that instead of simply speaking to her, he should bring her something to brighten her day. He expands his minds area of perception all around her while being careful not to pump too much power into her, lest she discover him. He finds nothing of interest, not even a particularly colorful insect, or a bird or mouse, the region is bare of everything except the occasional rock, and endless grass. 'No wonder she feels so sad, there is nothing here!' Snow thinks to himself as he puzzles over this lonely fairy's predicament.

Then he has a spark of inspiration catch fire in his mind. Crystals, towers, a better way to connect the networks of the east and west! "GENIUS!" Snow shouts in his room as he explodes out of bed, takes two strides and leaps out the window, completely naked. The flesh golems look at each other and burst into laughter, for the first time they genuinely laugh and make sound.

Snow dresses himself as he flies towards the lonely fairy. Light loose fitting pants, and a similar shirt with a vest. He swats his now shoulder length hair out of his eyes as he glides on wings made of ice, and freezes his hair back in place. He lands with his bare feet on the grass near where the lonely fairy lives and begins to look for her. He finds her not long after, laying with her back arched over the rock as she stares at the clouds. "Little one, here you are. I need your help!" The lonely fairy flinches horribly when she hears his voice and blinks unbelieving at him as he stands not 6 feet from her, his hair laced with ice and held back in feathery frosted tufts that slightly resemble feathers. His eyes smile with an excited energy as he urges her to come with him.

"O-okay? Wh- wait, You're the Master! You're Snow!" she says still trying to come to terms with the situation.

"You can call me Snow if you want." Snow says he walks into the grass.

"Oh? Ok?" she asks incredulously.

They come to the top of a hill with a good view.

The fairies sorrowful eyes now sparkle with excitement and wonder as she sees the person everyone talks about all the time on the network! 'Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! I can't believe Snow is here! With me! Nobody is going to believe this!' the little fairy squeals with glee and Snow turns to face her and grins.

"Fly right here, and try not to move too much, this is going to be awesome." Snow says as he points to the center of the hill.

She does as he says and watches leans forward as she hovers watching excitedly.

Snow glows brightly as his magic activates. Liquid water oozes from the ground as he gently draws it upwards and into a spiraling tower. The ground breaks apart and a platform with them on it rises upwards with the water, 10 feet, 20 feet, 50 feet, 200 feet, 500 feet, 1000 feet above the ground. This is higher than the little fairy has ever been, and she squeals as she looks around and can see soo far! She can see the other fairy outposts from here! The network comes alive as everyone starts sharing what she just saw. Her little memory is passed from fairy to fairy across the entire network. Her head is buzzing with questions from every direction, normally that would be annoying, painful even, but she is far too excited to care about little details like that. "Is this tower for me?" she asks

"Even better, this tower is going to do your job for you, so you can go where you want! And I am going to build a lot more of them." Snow says dramatically and watches her eyes widen with the news. He hears the network practically explode with excitement as he says this, he hears the joyous cheers of the bored outpost fairies, and the ones who have patrols in areas where there are places they lose connection to the network also cheer. Snow spends the rest of the day raising towers and bringing them online. The last thing he does, is to cover the towers in a field that makes you see what is behind them. When you get close you can see the outline, but at a distance they are perfectly invisible.

When he comes home for the night he works on the broadcast crystal a bit and experiments with how much power he can put through them before... *BOOOOOM* the blast throws Snow off his feet and against the far wall, the heat melts his clothing, and the sound draws the attention of Aura who sticks her head in the room and sees Snow standing up and with a flash recreates his cloths. He snaps at her irritably when she starts to ask "Ar-" "Yes I'm fine, let me be." "Ok! No need to be snappy" she says as she waddles away. Snow sighs and walks after her.

In the mess caused by the explosion, tiny fragments of supercharged Mana crystal are strewn about. One such fragment landed in a red candle that was thrown from the table. It melts the wax it lands on, and sinks into the core of the candle. Moments later the wick begins to smoke, then smolder, then catch fire. The wax melts rapidly as the magic flame grows in intensity. Once the entire candle has melted the wick falls below the surface of the wax, and the small puddle begins to cool. The creature seems to be pained by the cold and bunches up into a blob. Then it sticks the tip of the wick out of the top of the blob and relights it.

Next the creature explores its environment, and finds another crystal fragment. It moves over the fragment and absorbs it, putting the added energy to use in moving faster. It finds more fragments and begins to search for them. In the creature's search for Mana crystal fragments it finds another candle, a blue one. It oozes over the new candle and sets to work melting it. As it absorbs the new wax it senses there is a difference between the wax of the first and this one. The creature grows an eye and looks at the two different kinds of wax, it sees the difference in color, and decides to try to keep them from mixing. Red wax, it moves into a core which it covers with the new blue wax. The creature seems satisfied with what it has done, and proceeds to exit the room and explore.

It finds its self in a tunnel of this stone hall. And on both walls there are rooms, one down at the far end. The wax creature suck in its wick and rolls down the carpet to quickly get to the room at the end of the hall. There is a fairy in the far corner of the room panting and ferociously humping a wooden spoon. The wax creature sneaks up on the fairy as she repositions the spoon and starts jamming it into her vagina. It barely fits and the horny fairy makes little progress as she desperately tries to find release. The wax stares at her with its eye wide for several minutes. It even tries mimicking her appearance. It manages to copy her fairly well, with its two colors. The desperate fairy finally notices the wax creature and pauses as she looks at it, after realizing it is no danger to her, she throws herself on top of it and starts humping it. The wax creature had been watching her long enough to realize what she wants to do to her vagina, and puts its wax fingers inside the fairy. She coos and shivers, but then resumes humping. The wax takes this as encouragement, and puts a whole arm up the fairy's vagina and pushes into her womb ever so slightly.

The fairy spasms and gasps as she says "Ohh yess! More! More! Give it all to me! Put it all inside me!" so the wax creature pumps the rest of itself into the fairy. She squeals in delight as her belly bulges to a size it might be if she were 6 months pregnant. And then finally she cums. When she cums the wax creature is pushed out. It immediately lights its two wicks and tries to warm up. The little fairy watches the wax creature take a vaguely fairy like appearance without wings, and hold shiver in a perfect imitation of being cold. It looks to her with pleading eyes, wordlessly asking for help. The slimy coating of evaporating femjuice is wicking away the creature's heat as quickly as it is able to produce it.

The fairy crawls over and lays on her belly as she looks at this magical wax creature and thinks. "What if you tried burning a fire inside your chest?" the fairy suggests. The wax creature raises an eyebrow and makes a 'I don't know, tell me more?' gesture. The fairy thinks for a moment then grabs a bit of chalk and sketches out a drawing of the wax creature, then draws a circle in her belly, and a tube going to her mouth. Then she says "try making this, then lighting a fire inside it." The wax girl forms a mouth, and opens it, then 'gulps' air as she forces it down her neck.

Once she manages to get air all the way to down her throat she thinks for a moment, then look back at the drawing. And tries to expand the place for air. She manages to form two pockets that extend downward like lungs, but with a V in the tube so that the top of each lung connects to the tube in her throat. She makes them big enough to light a fire in, and puts her wicks in the bottom of them. When they light she glows faintly from her breasts. And when she opens her mouth you can see light. The wax girl makes a happy face. Then the fairy says "Oh! You have to breathe! If you don't your little fires will burn out! Like this, innnn, ooouut, iinnnn, ouuuut. Just get used to doing that all the time." she mimes exaggerated breathing.

And so the wax girl learns to breathe, and even figures out how to make her nose work so she can close her mouth. She is breathing normally in just a few minutes and smiles as she feels the warmth flowing throughout her body. "Hmm, you need more colors. Wait here! I'm going to go find you some more candles!" The fairy begins flying around looking for something she remembers seeing in here earlier. "Aha! Found it!" she struggles to move a large box off the top shelf, she ends up pushing if off the edge. The boxes wooden sides break upon hitting the ground spilling several dozen candles on the ground. They are intended for drawing magic circles, or for art, either way there are a multitude of colors to choose from.

The wax girl walks over and picks up a white candle, she sits down and starts munching on it, the naughty fairy isn't going to just sit by and watch the wax girl casually munch on a candle, oh no, she has plans for this wax girl. The fairy tells the wax girl to stand up, she does. Then she tells her to bend forward and roll her hips up exposing herself, she does. Now that the wax girl is totally vulnerable, the naughty fairy grins mischievously as she wields a candle like some kind of fearsome weapon. She presses the wick end of the candle into the wax girl's butt, and wiggles it around trying to elicit some kind of sexual response. The wax girl just blinks at her lazily as she seems completely unphased by having her ass penetrated. The fairy grabs another and shoves it up the wax girl's butt as well, and another.

The only response from the wax girl so to lower her brows and look mildly annoyed. She snorts smoke, and tries to stand up, but her rear is so stuffed with candles as tall as she is that she loses her balance and falls forward. The candles shoot out of her with a splattering of white wax. The fairy bites her lower lip to stifle a giggle and decides to teach the wax girl how she should react to being touched in certain places. She begins the lesson by telling the wax girl to touch her in places and watch how she reacts. The wax girl puts a finger in the fairies belly button and watches her giggle. Then she runs a finger along the fairy's nipples and watches her squirm. Then she grabs her breasts with wide eyes as she sees the extreme reactions. This goes on and on, the wax girl touching in different ways, and the fairy showing her how to be sexy when she is touched.

The wax girl learns all about sex, being sexy, how to react when she is touched, and all about the humanoid body. The fairy even helps her develop a simple digestive system, and connect it to her anus. She teaches her about the vagina, birth canal, and womb. And they play with each other's bodies. By the end of the day the wax girl is a sexy lady who knows all the moves. The fairy sleepily leaves the wax girl for the night to keep munching away at the candles and putting all those colors to use.

That night Snow watches Alyssa again and manages the magic spells in her body. He activates type one of the Seed of Corruption in her womb as she lays in a small cave not 5 miles from Canterstone. She's fast asleep, and dreaming of peaceful things when black spooge begins to burble out of her vagina. It is that perfect temperature that she can't feel it. Her womb detects that it has been impregnated and closes its opening. She begins to slowly and gently swell with the stuff as she sleeps. After insuring that everything is in order Snow heads to sleep himself.

The naughty fairy sneaks back into the storeroom at first light to check up on her new friend, what she finds is a massive bloated creature still gluttonously devouring candles. The wax girl is now so large that she is dropping the candles in her mouth whole. Empty boxes are strewn about the room with everything ransacked in a search for more wax. The wax girl has devolved into a sludge like blob with a mouth and only remnant traces her humanoid figure from that night. She smiles to her fairy friend and oozes over towards her. The little fairy is so horrified at this creature she falls to her knees and just stares wide eyed at the several hundred pound mass of dark brown wax.

After her initial shock the little fairy stands back up and says "We have some work to do..." The creature tilts its head region to the side curiously. The little fairy spends hours directing the sludge back into a humanoid form, and sorting its colors back into their base colors. Then she instructs the creature to grow a proper digestive system, which she actually inspects by having the wax creature swallow her, and travels all the way through her, and exiting through the now connected anus. The fairy's work is nearly complete, the wax creature has been shaped back into a womanly figure. Albeit a very plump one.

"You need a name, what should we call you?" the little fairy says "OH! I never told you My name! I'm Chi! It's nice to meetcha!" she air curtsies. The large wax woman sits down heavily causing her massive body to jiggle everywhere, and her titanic breasts to bounce and slosh as her inner liquid wax moves about. Chi shivers with arousal as the massive creature looks at her and looks like she is thinking hard about how to react. Finally the wax woman in a halting and whispered voice says "I don't know..." Chi crawls up onto Mira's belly and sits there as she admires the massive creature.

Then she seems to have an idea, and says "How about, Mirabelle? Do you like the sound of that?"

Mira makes an indifferent but accepting gesture and expression.

The two spend a little more time to make the wax woman's skin a fair pinkish hue, turn her hair blond, her eyes blue, and color her insides and 'blood' red. The other colors are deposited in reserves like fat. The wax woman also puts a reservoir of white in both breasts, as well as around her anus and vagina for use if she wants to simulate cum or milk. Next the two work on figuring out how to make her body tough enough to withstand sudden movements, impacts, and stretching. It only takes Mira a moment to figure out how to deal with each situation, and every time her body is damaged, torn, crushed, or otherwise deformed, she is able to return to her original form with ease.

Chi smiles proudly and says "I think you are ready! Time to go see the world! And see the Master!"

Mira hesitantly says "Do I really have to leave? I want to see out there, but... Maybe, I should just stay here..."

Chi watches and wonders at this new side to the wax woman she hadn't seen before. Despite Mira's size she is surprisingly vulnerable. Chi reassuringly pats Mira, and says in a quiet and comforting voice "It'll be ok, trust me! I've lived out there my whole life! There is nothing to fear in the temple. Everyone is nice! Master is sometimes cold but that's only because he is suuuper busy keeping everything safe and working on making everything better for everyone! You will love him I'm sure. And everyone else too!" Chi smiles as she tries to calm Mira and get her to leave the store room. "Just stick with me and I'll look after ya!"

Mira hugs the cute little fairy and stands up with new resolve to venture outside this musty room.

Chi rides on Mira's shoulders as the two walk down the small tunnel towards the Great Hall. There are many of these small tunnels that create a sort of labyrinth of tunnels, some are newer, some are older, and they all seem to be made with varying levels of skill. Some parts of this massive complex appear simply carved out of the stone to suit the needs of the builders, like this one. Others are almost as grand as the Great Hall. The giant rock that the temple is carved out of still has plenty of unused space that can be hollowed out for future expansions as well. The potential for further development is nearly endless, all the more so because of Snow's ability to mold stone into whatever shape he desires.

Once the two exit the tunnel and enter the well-lit Great Hall Mira stops and gasps as she sees light pouring in through stained glass windows on the ceiling and from glowing plants that are growing up the massive stone pillars. Flowers and crystals seem to grow in harmony from these plants. The very water that seems to be incorporated into every design appears to glow faintly. Some of the plants appear to be drawing water up through them and releasing it out their flowers in everything from a steady flow to an infrequent drip. Moisture is everywhere and the air is slightly hazy with a light fog giving the light that shines through the stained glass ceiling windows incredible rays as they cascade down onto the polished floor.

When Mira looks at the floor she sees that every 3 foot by 3 foot tile is actually a piece of a massive mosaic picture! As you walk from the Great Doors the floor depicts the desert and its landscape, and you walk along a path that is made to look like a dried up river, but the farther in you go the whites and tans and browns and reds of the desert give way to blues and greens and purples and every color imaginable of plants, trees, birds, animals both natural and magical, all depicted peacefully living in their habitats. At the very end of the Great Hall Mosaic floor is a place where the Magic Forest gives way to snow and ice. The frozen landscape blends perfectly with actual snow and ice that seem to grow out of the picture and into reality, ending in a throne made of ice with nothing but snow and ice surrounding it for a good 40 feet which causes the eye to be naturally drawn to the throne. The effect is flawless, and the plants that grow in the main portion of the Great Hall perfectly mesh with the region of the Mosaic they are growing on.

Snow sits upon his icy throne and listens to the people who come to him to report their needs, their sorrows, their requests, their joys, and in some cases to receive gifts of gratitude for bringing them to this place. The sand around the temple is beginning to come to life as the water flows out of the temple in all directions. But more than just the water, Snow has been sending water fairies with people who wish to attempt to build farms. Sand alone does a poor job of growing plants no matter how much water you give it though, so Snow has been placing another enchantment upon some of his fairies. The 'Fertile Earth' spell he tested on Alyssa.

These Earth Fairies bring dirt to the land in the most natural way imaginable. Water and Earth fairies makes their homes in the farmer's fields and provide the water and earth they need to begin raising crops. There was much skepticism about this method of breathing life into the lifeless sand, but the results prove themselves. Plants grow much faster than ever seen before in this new fertile soil, and without the farmers needing to bring water in jars from the oasis, much more can be grown with much less effort. No matter how magical the process is, it takes time for the fairies to spread farmable soil to the region, and the first farm is little more than a box garden with a few more boxes added every week.

Mira and Chi do not see these things yet however, instead Chi spends their time introducing Mira to the people and showing the curious the wonders of this magical place. After the impromptu tour the two join the line to speak with Snow. 20 minutes later they find themselves standing before the Mage Lord, he is still smiling from his last visitor who told him a funny story about a water fairy and an earth fairy fighting then ending up wrestling and then forgetting what they were mad about and making love. The still chuckling Lord beacons them forward and says "Ah Chi, I was wondering where you've been, who is this?"

Chi happily introduces Mira "My Lord, this is Lady Mirabelle! A being made of living wax! Given life by some kind of magic, and trained by me!"

Snow' brows rise when he hears this, the large woman standing before him completely looks human. He stands and walks closer as he look at her "Ah, forgive me. Where ARE my manners? Ahem, may I take a closer look madam?" he says as he stops and regains his regal composure.

Mira shrugs and nods as she is fascinated by this glowing white person. In her eyes he is the most incredible thing she has seen all day, she can't tell where his hair stops and his fluttering white robes begin. He looks like he is made of the snow that is everywhere around his throne. Also, her being a magical creature she is attuned to other magical creatures, and this mage is like nothing she has seen yet. He glows both physically and to her mind's eye. Despite the cold of this place, his presence makes her feel warm and at ease.

Snow walks around her and looks closely at her. Sure enough! She is made of living wax in the image of a woman! He uses his mind's eye to look at her construction and sees the shards of crystal that are the source of her life. They are quite small and appear to be being used up like fuel. He sees that at the rate she is burning magic right now, she has little more than a few days left to live. The young mage staggers back at this realization, and that she doesn't seem to yet know. He looks into her human eyes and sees all the intelligence and wonder of any other living thing. His resolve hardens into an iron fist of determination as he tightly grasps onto the desire to preserve this wonderful creature.

Snow stands back a few feet and rubs his chin in thought. His eyes shimmer as the tiny Mana crystals that have become one with his irises changes color with in reflection of his thoughts. "You are magnificent, and dying." He says bluntly as he continues to gaze at nothing in particular. "I can save you with one of two ways, the first would be for you to establish a connection with me through a covenant, and the other would be for me to give you Mana crystals to eat. Either of these will give you what you are running out of, but the latter is only a temporary fix to your condition. Mira was it? Your body requires magic to function, without a supply of it, you cannot continue to retain life, and will become nothing more than a lifeless statue of wax. If you do not want to swear to serve me, I will give you a box of crystals, each of which will be able to sustain you for a year or so if you keep using about as much power as you are using now. But if you join my service, I will give you a direct connection to me that will allow you to feed off of my power directly. Normally that would be incredibly dangerous for a mage to do, as you could suck them dry of power if you wanted to... But I am a bit of a special case." Snow says thoughtfully "Which do you choose? Oh, and for every year you work for me, I will give you another of those boxes of life crystals."

Mira looks at him blankly as she says "What would you have me do, Master."

Snow blinks at her unsure of her response, then laughs and says "For now, do whatever you like so long as it does not harm my people." He thinks a moment then says "If you are looking for something do to help, then, speak to Tomen Vedraccini. I believe he mentioned something about raising a colony of bees. You may be uniquely suited to assisting him with that endeavor."

Chi makes a face expressing her dislike of bees but keeps her mouth shut on the matter.

Mira looks up at Chi who is resting her chin on the top of her head, their eyes meet and Chi lets out a sigh "Okaaay, let's go."

Mira looks back at the Mage as he sits on his throne, their eyes meet and she notices he is holding his hand out to her and floating above it is what at first glance appears to be blue fire, but as she walks closer, drawn like a moth to the flame, she sees that it is not fire, but power. Raw, pure, overpowering, intoxicating power! Her eyes light up with its glow as it flickers and contorts like a living thing. She reaches out to touch it, and feels the crystals in her body begin to vibrate and heat up. When her fingers touch the blue fire it turn red and explodes around her, Chi leaps to safety as Mira is engulfed in the inferno. Red crystals burst from Mira's flesh and swirl around her in the inferno, her eyes glow red and the wax of her skin and body begins to stain black. Her hair flows in the wind as if it were real and her body slims down to a slender figure as the excess wax burns away. Mira begins to laugh and inhale the inferno until the entire blaze is contained within her. Chi watches with wide eyes as the wax woman becomes more demonic in appearance, sprouting wings, horns, and claws. She emits an aura of darkness as she kneels. Her skin begins to lighten to a dark red, and her hair lengthens to her waist. She now looks like the traditional concept of a succubus, with the red crystals still floating around her and growing in size as they recharge and store more power.

The smoke from the process has risen to the ceiling and is blocking out the light, so only the blueish white glow of the Lord Mage and of Mira's red darkness light the room. People at the far end of the Great Hall panic as they flee into the sunlight.

Snow smiles triumphantly at his new minion. "You can return to your old 'Mirabelle' appearance whenever you choose to, but this is your true form. I have given you the power to use dark magic, and have expanded your mind's capacity to several more, human emotions. You already had the ability to copy a person's appearance, but now, you can copy their voice and personality as well. You are to be a spy, an agent of my will where my fairies simply are inadequate." Snow leans back in his icy throne and says "For your first use of this new power, try returning to your old appearance."

The woman raises her vicious red eyes to her master, and smiles as the menacing power courses through her. She stands and rapidly melts into a watery black liquid, then Mirabelle rises from the pool of black liquid. She looks at herself and snorts "This form is, unsuitable for combat..."

"But ideal for blending in here, let's take a break from darkness and power. Go find Tomen and see if you can help him with his bee keeping project." The Lord says as he starts clearing away the smoke to let the light back in.

Mira shrinks back to a slimmer shape, but keeps herself impressively voluptuous where it counts. Then she notices the red crystals still floating around her. "Hmm..." she looks at them and thinks about how to use them. She grabs one and presses it into her belly, then flexes her 'muscles' and there is a loud *Crack!* as the crystal is broken into small pieces. She repeats this with the other 5, and raises a brow at her glowing and distended belly and absorbs it. She focuses intently and spreads the fragments throughout her body and limbs. To her surprise, they begin to link and melt back together forming something like a skeleton.

Mira twists her neck causing a crackling sound as the joints move for the first time.

Chi's wariness fades as they leave the Great Hall and walk out into the blinding midday sunlight.

The two find this man Tomen weaving straw into what looks a lot like baskets, then applying some kind of clay to them.

"Ohh, has the Lord sent you to give me a hand with these?" The elderly man asks as he stands up to greet the two.

Chi chirp up "Yep! Lord Snow thinks that my friend here might be exactly the right person to help you."

Mira grins at Chi's introduction and bows to the elder, causing Chi to tumble off her shoulders.

Chi lands in the sand face down, rear end up exposing her puffy little puss. She sputters as she is picked up by Mira and dusted off like a doll.

"How can we help you?" Mira asks in her silky voice.

"Welllll, I AM low on clay... Do you think you could go find one of those dirt poopin fairies? With a little magic I think we might just be able to get her making the sort of clay I need to finish these hives." The old man says as he crackles his back.

Mira looks to Chi and says "You're up Chi, go see if you can find an Earth Fairy."

Chi looks up at Mira surprised that she is the one telling her what to do, but being a fairy, her main instinct is to please. She flies off towards the gardens without a word.

Mira turns to the old man as he gets a drink from an old waterskin, "So, bees huh?" she asks as her fair skin gleams in the sunlight and she leans against the table Tomen is building his hive on. As she looks around she sees that the people have started using the mud from the Earth Fairies to build round adobe huts for themselves in shady areas. Not many people have taken up living inside the temple, but for whatever reason many people prefer the way of living in the old way they were raised with. Tomen is one such individual who prefers the old ways to living in the increasingly magical Temple.

Tomen's weathered face looks at Mira with an expression of mild interest in her body, but a much larger deal of concern for her skin, "My dear girl, you really should cover yourself. Many men are not as well behaved as I am, furthermore the sun is going to burn you crispy!" He adds with a laugh "Now don't think I'm not grateful for the eyeful you are giving me, just, perhaps it might be better for you if you hid a little bit from sight at least?"

Mira looks down at herself and feels the warmth of the sun, she hasn't yet learned about how the sun burns the skin of organic life. She looks up at the sun as if expecting some sort of attack, but when one doesn't come she simply looks at the old man questioningly.

Tomen shakes his head and says "Well, I suppose some have to learn the hard way. Here girl, let me teach you how to weave a basket."

Mira learns quickly and her fingers nimbly take to the weaving, quickly outpacing her teacher.

Chi returns just as Mira finishes her basket and beams at the old man with a look of joyous triumph. She sees Mira's face full of joy at and is filled with jealousy. She pushes the bloated Earth Fairy forward to them and Tomen notices "Oh my, you found a big one! Look at you!" he says as he picks up the Earth Fairy. She has adapted to her enchantment in a similar fashion to the way the water fairies have adapted to theirs. Unlike how the water fairies bodies become increasingly balloon-like and stretchy as their bellies and breasts inflate with water, the Earth Fairies hips broaden in proportion to the growth of their bellies, as does their anus. The Earth Fairies also develop more muscle and become all around sturdier to accomadate the weight while still being able to move about. Another feature of the Earth Fairies is that they can change the type of dirt they produce, by eating dirt of another composition, in this case, a wet clay.

Tomen sets the heavy laden fairy on the table and offers her a small cup of reddish clay, "If you would be so kind as to make more of this, I would be most grateful."

The fairy is impressed with his polite request and nods her assent, and begins eating the contents of the cup.

Chi watches fascinated as the Earth Fairy's belly bulges and gurgles as it accepts the new product to be produced.

The Earth Fairy finishes the cup of clay, and waddles over to the edge of the table to release the last of her old product. The process is indistinguishable from pooping save for the lack of stink. Mira and Tomen look elsewhere, but Chi wants to see the Earth Fairy work up close and puts her hands on her belly to feel the earth moving through her. The Earth Fairy doesn't seem to mind in the slightest, on the contrary, she seems to be enjoying Chi's attention.

After a few minutes of purging the Earth Fairy has begun to produce the type of clay Tomen needs, and sits on top of a vase of sorts with an opening at the bottom where Tomen can use a trowel to scoop out the clay and put it to use.

Mira watches attentively as Tomen plasters the outside of the hive in a layer of clay. Then she tries it herself and creates a hive very similar to Tomen's.

Chi watches as the Earth Fairy finishes filling the vase, and begins to inflate. Chi's eyes widen as the earth fairy grunts and pops off the vase, and falls to the ground landing on her belly and spraying wet clay a good foot behind her. Chi rushes over to see if she is alright only to find her standing up and turning down her production. Chi marvels at the Earth Fairy's ability to control her production, and wonders why she doesn't reduce her size so she asks "Hey, why do you let yourself stay big like that? It looks like you could shrink down if you wanted to."

The Earth Fairy looks to Chi with a look of surprise "You don't know? You don't know why Earth and Water Fairies let themselves become so bloated? Oh, you don't know. Well, mostly, because it feels good... Really good. And in a way I guess, it is fun to be big like this. Actually, it's really fun."

Chi curiously helps the engorged fairy back to the gardens, following the trail of dirt droppings she left on the first trip. And chats with her about if she thinks other fairies should choose an element to produce as well, seriously considering picking one for herself.

Mira looks at the hives they made and wonders what they are for. "Tom, what these for?"

Tomen looks at Mira with a look of utter disbelief, then takes a deep breath to collect his thoughts and begins to explain "These are hives, they are homes for bees, and bees as I'm sure you know, are insects that produce wax and honey by eating pollen and nectar from flowers. We build hives to attract a new colony of bees."

Mira takes this in stride and follows up with "But how do we let the bees know the hives are here?"

Tomen is surprised by her quick thinking and rapid questions but is able to answer them as they come "First we build the hives, then we place them in ideal locations. The bees like places they think they can defend themselves,

Mira pauses, and seems to think about that for a moment.

"What if..." she begins slowly as an idea forms in her mind. "What if, the hive, was alive?"

Tomen looks at her questioningly.

"I have an idea, but we are going to have to wait and see if any bees start living here first."

Tomen raises an eyebrow and begins to return to making another hive.

Mira seems to make up her mind and continues "Tomen, I am made of living wax. The illusion of me being human is simply a well-crafted disguise, look" She stabs her fingers into her belly just below her large breasts, and pulls back the 'skin' and 'flesh' revealing her waxy interior. "My idea is to put a hive inside me, perhaps even more than one if that is possible, I would be able to care for them, feed them, feed on them, and repair them all while remaining mobile." She removes her hands from the gaping hole in her belly and the flesh molds back into place, sealing without any trace of the split.

Tomen drops his tool for spreading clay and gawks at Mira in disbelief. "Y-y-you're... I had no idea! That is amazing! I wonder if it could actually work... That means, if you are made of wax, the bees won't be able to sting you! And more than that, you... Wow. Now I see what the Lord Mage meant when he said you are uniquely suited to this job. Are there more of your kind?"

Mira blinks and says "I'm not sure, maybe? I think the Master could make more of me if he wanted to... Or, maybe, I could make more of me... I don't know..."

Tomen and Mira continue to talk about the possibility of her being able to carry a hive within her body, placement, the needs of the bees, etc. For quite a while they chat and talk about possibilities, but Mira's mind begins to wander back to the thought of making more Wax Women like herself. Curiosity slowly wells up within her, and the idea of it continues to float in her mind even after the sun begins to set and Tomen heads home for the night. Chi is nowhere to be found, so Mira makes her way back to the Great Hall.

Mira finds the Mage Lord walking towards the stairs that lead to his tower while crackling his back.

She approaches him as he exits the chamber, and follows him up the stairs and into his chamber. She finds him passed out on his bed, his cloths are melting off of him like they are made of water. Mira quickly turns around and blushes furiously as Lord Snow's clothing fails to cover him. Mira fidgets as she tries to decide what to do next. These feelings she is having are new to her, she doesn't understand. But the feeling is undeniable.

She ends up squatting beside the Lord's bed and smiling as she looks at his lightly toned and lightweight athletic body. She reaches out to touch his head and suddenly his eyes snap open and he catches her hand before she can pull it back. His grip is impossibly strong, she feels the crystal bones in her hand cracking in his grip. The Lord's eyes are fully dilated as he stares with his eyes all the way open but focused on nothing. As Mira struggles to free her hand she realizes, 'Hes still asleep!' as she works her shattered fingers out of his grip. Once she manages to slip free Snow's hand slowly relaxes.

Mira looks at her hand and sees the crystals glowing brightly as they absorbed a large deal of magic just from touching him. "Ohh, my Lord... You feel sooo... gooood..." Mira squirms as she sucks on the red liquid that is seeping out of the bone of her finger. Every drop she sucks down causes her to pulse with hyper sexual energy. "How are you so calm with this stuff in you?!"

"With what inside me..?" Snow asks as his now awake eyes stare at Mira and his usual smirk returns to his face "Mirabelle... the woman made from wax. Spawn of my power, and now soon to be the mother of bees I see."

Mira cringes as she feels Snow's icy touch slip into her memories and flip through them like pages in a book. She pulls back but he holds her wrist as he sits up and stares into her eyes. A completely different kind of power flows through her like an water trickling down from a great frozen mountain in the spring. She feels her body hardening as she cools and is unable to pull away from his grip.

"You seek to acquire bees, but you lack the knowledge of how to do it and the ability to control them... I will use the fairies to find a swarm, and send you to collect it. But first, you need the power to force your will into the minds of the living." Shadows fill the room as if spreading from Snow's body. As the room darkens to utter blackness, Mira feels a new enchantment being woven into the very fiber of her life force.

"It is done. I shall call it... Soul Fragmentation. All you must do to use this power is to force a creature to consume some of your wax. The more powerful the creature, the more they must consume. This should not be a difficult magic to master. Now, travel west. I will contact you when we have found what you need. There are no bees here, so you will need to travel to the plains, or perhaps even as far as the woodlands. You are fortunate that your body will not attract attention from predators, as you will be traveling alone."

Mira stares into his eyes in the darkness as he gives her his orders. Upon hearing his last words, she nods and kneels. Before Snow releases her wrist, she feels the intoxicating red Mana being drawn out of her. Her mind clears and she comes to her senses outside the Great Hall. The experience feels like a bad dream, and fades from her memory as quickly as dreams always do. Mira shakes herself and begins the long walk to the west.
