Looks of confusion spread throughout the entire camp once the question was asked, though none of the shrooms voiced this as they feared offending their new overlords. "Well?" Lucius asked again, as Pagan looked to the sky. For the first time since he had known Pagan, there was a serious look on his face. "Would the Lighted One mind if I told him a story?" Pagan asked, his voice nearly a whisper. "Go ahead." "This story is not like the Shri'killian that these creatures speak off. It is not a tale,…-

"Can I at least talk to Pagan before I get it done?" Ghost asked after a moment had passed. "Hmm, I don't think he came back from his work last night," Lucius replied, realizing that he hadn't seen Pagan when he woke up. "His work?" "I had him building some structures for the shrooms to sleep in," he explained. "Pagan can build now? I'm impressed, I wouldn't have thought that that lazy idiot would be able to carry around all those materials like you do," Ghost commented. "Carry around materials? As…

"These spider legs, are they like your primary legs now? Do the ones on your body not work?" Lucius asked as he and Ghost walked towards the river. Ghost was currently holding the arachnid baby in a bear hug, whispering shrieks to it. "Hmm, they work just fine," she replied after a moment of thought, dropping the baby to the ground before retracting the spider legs. Lucius checked behind her back to see where they had gone, and found a sort of hard shell that he assumed must be what housed them. ~This…

~Good,~ he thought to himself, taking a moment to read the system notifications before carrying on with his experimentation. Once the solar pit was completely saturated, he proceeded to increase the intensity of the crux before trying to send out streams of solar energy. ~Nice, I finally did it. Whatever this... is,~ he thought to himself as multiple streams of what looked like miniature lightning streaks, spread from his crux toward the edges of the force field. The baby was currently underneath the…

While the baby ate off of his palms, Lucius studied it with his solar vision. It seemed that the information he was receiving was not hindered at all by the fact that it was small, which was quite interesting as he expected the radiation it emitted to be insignificant. After watching the baby eat for a few more moments, he began moving his crux around the room. Seeing the glowing orb flying towards them, the other babies scurried around in fear. Their sibling stopped eating for a moment to stare at them,…

After around 20 minutes of morphing, Lucius used every bit of mushroom that had been allocated to this group and found that it was not sufficient. Of course, he could make the structure he was envisioning a little smaller, but he doubted that it would be able to house 50 shrooms comfortably. "This is not enough," he said out loud. "We'll need at least five times this amount to build a suitable structure," he continued. The chieftains looked at each other in fear, perhaps worried that Lucius might get…

As the group took rest, Lucius thought of some way to bring about the question of this morphing technique. They had claimed that they were capable of doing this simply because they had consumed the shri'killian, meaning that if they could teach it to him he might be able to speed up the rate of development manyfold. Not to mention the battle accessory it seemed to promise as well. "So, this building technique you guys are using, who taught it to you?" he asked after some time had passed. "Those before…

Shroom A froze in shock, certain that its life was all over... and just as it had found a reason to live. However, as it closed its eyes, waiting for its demise, it felt a strange warmth cover its body. "I've healed any injuries that you may have sustained," the Lighted One said to it, before announcing to the rest, "If you've been injured line up in front of me and I'll heal you." *** ~Pagan's already playing the role of bad cop, so I might as well use it to my advantage,~ Lucius thought to himself…

"So about the housing. Do any of you have any experience building?" Lucius asked once Pagan was gone, to which all the large shrooms raised their hands. "Perfect, we'll be making a few sleeping quarters close by here. Are there any specific requirements you need to start work? Wood, vines, stone perhaps?" Lucius asked. One of the shrooms raised its hands, looking left and right as if expecting to be attacked. "Yes, you," Lucius said, pointing to the shroom. "We have partaken of the shri'killian, just…

He pushed his body to its limits, reaching very dangerous speeds as he got towards the approaching hoard. He wasn't sure how the undead creature had tracked down his camp, but he couldn't let it get to the pods. Or at least he would make sure that it paid a steep price for attacking his commune. As he zipped from tree to tree, causing a few of the branches to crack from the force with which he launched himself, he used his earth sense to detect which of the creatures were the strongest. But there were…
