This is a daily reminder: You have 48 unallocated stat points

  “You really should do something about that, Lady.”

  I sigh. At this point, the number is soon to grow. I pop in next to Red as she is fiddling with her easy bake oven. She looks at me annoyed. My fairy laughs.

  -I feel our thinking is more intune to each other.

  Well we are freshly separated, not surprising. Ready to squirm? She sighs.

  “No time like right now time.”

  Red rolls her eyes.

  I hug my sister as she hugs me. We grit our teeth. The various leveling sicknesses wash over us.

  “One more time, Ladies.”

  I roll my eyes at my trouble maker. I shift to my Attendant form to dismiss her. She flicks to my nose and boops me.

  “Aw, you thought I was tied to only your Dungeon form, I'm forever your annoyance.”

  “Great.” I want to scowl but only smile.

  “Isn't it?” She flits off.

  -Is that going to be a problem?

  She pops in next to Red ear, and whispers.

  “Only if she wants me to be. Are you sure you don't want to level more? You're so close to forever changing our mom.”

  “Two more levels wouldn't be enough.”

  “Thats true, perhaps she can go kill more Elves for us. Or maybe let us do it ourselves.”

  We both wince at that. I feel our little sprite may have inherited Sara's more dangerous thoughts.

  “Of course I did. It's not like the both of you stopped thinking them. Don't worry, it's between us. Best go figure out incantations though. He will be arriving soon…”

  -----

  The fairy taps Ratagin, Ratagin does a back flip. Jasmine claps and it repeats.

  “Your tea, Delores.”

  “Is no one going to explain the recent addition to the party?” Jeremy exasperatedly asks.

  “Lady Dungeon created me to be her voice for her when she is all super scary, but more importantly mute.”

  She touches Ratagin again. Another backflip.

  “Is that supposed to be Red or Violet?” Delores asked.

  “I will not say their slave names.”

  Everyone rears back at her declaration. I flick her off the table. It is lucky her piece of our soul is a fraction of a fraction. Her words hold no strength.

  “Don't pay it any mind Delores, she is being provocative because she finds it amusing.”

  She pops next to my ear, “Or is it because you actually think that.”

  “What did she say?” Jasmine asks.

  “Something she knows is verboten.” And in [English].

  She dances away giggling. Violet chimes in.

  “I made her last evening for the reasons she said.”

  “I don't recall you being all that scary.” Kalidia follows up.

  “Lady Dungeon became more impressively scary, Lady Crafter is jealous.”

  I want to roll my eyes but I am on duty.

  “Well I think it's time we try our might against that two headed Hydra.” Jeremy is eager to move forward with his cousin's return.

  “Aw you're going after the fake baby.” The fairy chimes in.

  “Baby?” Jasmine asks.

  Hischurl leans in, “Two headed hydras are new borns.”

  “Ding ding ding Sir knight gets it in one.”

  “But why is it fake?” Jeremy.

  “Beep, you have used the allotted number of questions you are allowed.” The fairy voice goes robotic.

  She gets a confused look from Jeremy.

  I answer, “Mister, the monsters you face are soulless. They exist but they have no memories to form a soul. Just like our fairy here.”

  Said fairy begins to use my head as a place to pound her fist into. I just ignored her.

  “Does she have a name?”

  The fairy pops in front of Delores, “Don't you dare suggest Pink, most unimaginative mistress. Nope, I am Sara Id, but made by half of Sara soooo I'm going to be Said. That's Sa then Id.”

  “You don't say.” Violet deadpans. That just invites Said to start drumming on her head instead.

  -----

  A foot stabs into the earth, a seed falls in.

  “Grow, grow.” Said encourages the seed while I will it, “Clearly it was me saying grow, grow.”

  The grass sprouts. I give a smile at Said as she just flits to the next hole I stab into the ground. The process repeats.

  I take a swig of blood as the dungeon soul mana requirements lessen. Lea pops in next to me.

  “So now you have a fairy that says whatever you're feeling?”

  “Aw, our little vamp has been listening in on conversations. Elf ears are the best ears but even they don't hear across instances.”

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Lea looks annoyed, “Perhaps but I am in a store that's connected to all the instances.”

  “Oh the spy is also a liar, why lie to the one who knows that the store is only connected to an instance when the door opens.”

  Lea minces her hands, “Sorry. There hasn't been a lot of interest in the store. No one wants to have their weapons worked on so late at night. The silk goods aren't exactly the rough and tumble adventurer wear.”

  “Worry not thrall, the Lady Dungeon and Lady Crafter have a two fold plan.”

  “...Thrall…”

  “You know a—”

  I flick her away.

  Sorry, she likes to rile up people, a lot of fictional literature from my previous Lark would have a thrall be a human slave to a vampire. You are already a vampire so that term would not apply to you.

  “Still a slave though.”

  I look at the fairy annoyed. She just flits away in a laugh.

  “So what is the plan?”

  Said returns next to Lea's ear, “Heal mana pots and another floor of icy cold fucks yous. Lady Dungeon is replacing grass to make room in her soul for something better.”

  Lea jumps a few feet away from Said. The sprite just laughs at the threatrics. I give a wry look at Lea.

  “Okay, that thing is cursed.”

  A sing-song voice resounds through the dungeon, “Isn't everything about the dungeon boss cursed.”

  I can only grip the bridge of my nose. So she can use the dungeon voice as well.

  “Of course I can, silly, I am you.”

  -----

  I sit in front of the machine, a tweak there, a tweak here.

  I push mana through the apparatus, it starts boiling the left pot of my blood and vines. I'll need to hold this channeling for one hour to see if it will move to the next phase. Best to know if it works, before I do something drastic.

  Violet pops in followed by tourrettes.

  “Aw, I should have gone with that instead of Said. O well at least one of us has defined their name.”

  My ghost admonishes the fairy “We already have a name.”

  She just laughs, “You were given a name. Not the same, slave.”

  I look annoyed at her, the ghost continues, “You know, you throw that out a lot. Do we truly think that of ourselves or is your aim is to upset us.”

  “O you wish to do some short cut introspection. What do you call a person who suborns themselves to their inferior to sneak into a mage college that they probably already outclass all to avoid a piece of low hanging blood sack.”

  -Okay that's enough.

  Violet grabs Said. The fairy plays at struggling. I am about to say something when a notification window pops up.

  You have gained [Vampiric Blood Kinesis] Competent 1

  Competent - All forms have slime blood, it stretches further.

  Gain 12 exp

  “Yes, time to truly be [Voiceless]. Time to let me speak your desires. Time for Lady Crafter to make me a sister.”

  I give her an annoyed look at her. You're an idiot, you know that?

  “What?”

  I merge with my arcane tail. My blood is different. I remove both my heart and lungs

  I look at Said, “Still able to talk.”

  “But your lungs are gone.”

  “So what, this is an illusion made tangible, why do you think I need lungs to talk? Heck your body has slime blood now too and you are still talking.”

  Said is confused as she pats her body. Violet comes over and is looking me over. I smile at her, she returns it.

  “Look, Said, I know you are our ‘Id’ but there such a thing delayed gratification and pay offs.”

  “Whats the point in those things when I don't have a memory?”

  My fault huh, “Look you don't have a separate memory, you have access to Violet memory. She heard all this too. You're supposed to be her herald right? Not her burden.”

  She pouts but floats to sit on Violet's head. Violet picks her up and touches her forehead to the fairies. I feel a bit more of Violet's soul entering Said. The fairy comes over to me and gives a mid air bow.

  “Sorry for the trouble.”

  “No trouble at all, will you be alright sister?”

  “The Lady simply improved the connection between us, I now feel her deepest desires not just her errant thoughts.”

  “Does that mean full on introspection mode?”

  “Go find a therapist or throw knives, Sara.”

  Still won't use our nicknames.

  “And I never will.”

  I look at Violet who just shrugs.

  -----

  “You are looking rather impressive there, daughter.”

  I smile at Mags. Her own smile falters.

  “You can't speak in this one either.”

  “She could but the Lady opts to let me talk instead.”

  Mags looks at Said curious. She then looks at me.

  “Said.”

  I had gained a little bit of my voice back from my sprite, our connection stronger. Will I lose my voice should I stay in this form long enough. Or can I reshape what it means to be [Voiceless].

  “See, now a spider of few words.”

  I roll my eyes. I motioned Said to talk to Mags about my plans.

  “Oh right, mother. Lady Dungeon wants your input about making more slimes for the dungeon.”

  “I thought I had told you that it is dangerous to do so.”

  “Oh don't get into a huff, she births them in eggs not splitting herself in half.”

  “Then you have already done so.” She looks annoyed at Said.

  “Mother.” I place a hand on her.

  She winces, but regains herself.

  “If you know it is safe then I don't see an issue.”

  “Is there any concern on how adventurers will react? The Lady doesn't particularly want them to try to take them alive.”

  She considers that, “Inevitably an adventurer will attempt to capture one. They know that your monsters are real. Depending how translucent you can make them, they will attempt it.”

  Hmmm, I could only make them tinged with my blood…wait if I birthed an egg while undead would the slime carry the curse of undeath…

  “That would be hilarious, you could kill so many people with that.”

  I look annoyed at the fairy, Mags gives a questioning look.

  “The Lady's blood has different properties depending if her body is alive or dead. Alive she heals bodies, dead she rots them instead. The slime we made for the Lamia has a bit of our blood in it.”

  “Then a death slime would kill any who use them. Sure make those.”

  “Mother!”

  “No alchemist would dare use an unknown slime for potions and it would be very self evident that the slime itself will be dangerous.”

  “Unfortunately the Lady doesn't want to make a ready supply of blood that can make people rot and become undead. Should it leave the dungeon, it would be a rather abhorrent weapon.”

  Mags shrugs, “Is it any worse than supplying mithril that will be forged into superior weapons?”

  “She is afraid they would be considered her undead constructs and thus either feed us souls or create even more undead.”

  Mags stops at that and looks at me, “I don't believe you told me you had this ability.”

  “A possible combination of various [Soul Eater] abilities, either the Lady eats them or makes an undead plague.”

  I shudder while Mags hugs me. “Sorry.”

  “Birth one dear, I will take a sample outside to test on a rabbit. The slime as you describe it, is not a construct, I think it will be fine.”

  I take a moment and pull my blood into myself. No longer at skin level my blood stops pulling in oxygen. My body begins to die from the lack of it. I look at my hand that was first pale, becoming grey and ashen. Mother watches me the entire time. I can feel her pain, I give her a smile to show I'm alright. There, dead.

  I form the egg, my blood mana capable of it even when the organs around it are dead. A strange feeling crosses my soul. I am a blasphemy making more blasphemous things. Perhaps my sister can be alive while I am—

  I feel a smack at the back of my head. It's not hard, she doesn't have her full strength anymore.

  -Don't you go and define us in such stupid ways. You told me just cause I make clothes doesn't mean you can't. We are both Sara, the total package. Not a flipping ying yang bullshit.

  “Sister…”

  Her eyes bore into me.

  “Sorry.”

  She flicks me in the forehead. Then shakes her hand. I laugh. Mags joins in. Said just flits around. My ashen skin takes on an ultra violet hue.

  -Hurry up and finish birthing your death slime already.

  The egg pushes out. It lands on the ground. A hydra container pops to the side. Red cracks the egg and plops the new slime into it. It's the black red that has been Red's color. I start to revive myself with our blood skin.

  -Didn't make it as big as mine.

  “Lady Dungeon didn't feel like ripping herself a new one for a test.”

  -----

  Mags tugs my soul when she gets enough distance from the dungeon. Both me and Violet pop out. Nice to know our drops let us be anywhere near them. Violet grows gills and takes a deep pull of air.

  “This way.”

  We follow her until we find a horned rabbit. I use blood kinesis to pick up the slime and suffocate the rabbit. It brings back memories…except our slime pulled skin off the poor things face. I willed the terrifying creature back into the container. I look down at it and it is bigger. Mass for mass. Violet is standing over the corpse of the bunny. It twitches and gets up. An undead horned rabbit.

  “We need to take this one to another, see if it spreads.” Mags intones.

  Violet switches to her true self and binds the rabbit in silks. She has a sad smile. I look at her.

  “Lady Dungeon is already feeling distance from this form.”

  I go and give her a shoulder hug. We have both begun to move on. Perhaps spinnerettes in your birthing form then?

  “Pfft only when she needs them, Lady Crafter.”

  Violet looks annoyed at her fairy, she assumes what is rapidly becoming her default form. A third set of arms pops out under the armpit of her second pair. I look annoyed at her when she shows me her palms. Spinnerettes in each of them. She gives me a toothy grin. It was my idea first. Then the arm convulses for a moment. Her toothy grin gets wider. What did she do? Said interrupts my thoughts.

  “Lady Crafter's ideas are Lady Dungeon's ideas. She has plenty of memories of Sara claiming that.”

  I suppose. We walk to the next rabbit. We cut the silk and place the undead rabbit near the alive one. The undead quickly attacked and killed the other. There was no contest. Just efficiency. We quickly recapture the undead one and watch the new corpse. Nothing. I use my soul eyes and see no lingering soul in the corpse.

  “Aw, no zombie apocalypse afterall.” Said flits to violets head.

  Mags raises an eyebrow to that. My ghost responds, “It's not a self perpetuating plague of undead.” No, I'd have to do that myself.

  “Ah.” Mags incinerates the corpse. She goes to burn the undead rabbit as well. Violet stops her. She approaches the rabbit and sticks out her middle right arm and flames erupt from it. Cooking both her arm and the undead rabbit.

  Constitution raised to 1011

  Gained 4 exp from Undead Horned Rabbit

  Did you add the flame sack to your middle arms?

  “The left arm is a venom sprayer.” Said exclaims gleefully.

  Mags barks a laugh, “A practical addition for once, though you seem to have burned yourself. As for the slime, I think it would be a fine addition.”

  “Lady Dungeon feels it is still too dangerous to allow such to leave. Either by itself or by an adventurer.”

  “You're the dungeon dear, is it possible to just force monsters inside you to be unable to leave areas alive?”

  “Currently, the Lady would have to focus on the monster to prevent its capture.”

  My ghost chimes in, “Sounds like a new thing to focus on for our next dungeon tier.”

  I smile at Violet, she returns it with a nod and smile. The smile falters at what Mags says next.

  “I want to test this undead plague ability you spoke of.”

  I wince but Violet brings us to our third bunny. She is still holding her slime so I go over and hold the blood still in the rabbit. It dies. I do not devour her soul.

  The rabbit becomes undead but looks at me. It awaits my orders. I guess it is my undead. I picked it up and looked at my sister. She nods and she leads us to our fourth rabbit. I put my rabbit down in front of the new one and removed my will from it. Autonomous mode. The undead quickly attacks the living. It was brutal, the other rabbit was frightened. It did not take long.

  Gain 3 exp from Horned Rabbit

  I can feel the option. I don't devour this soul either.
