Ether: The fleshlings
125 days as a hive

125 days as a hive

After a couple of weeks most of the brood matured but not all made it. So now we start the true hive and we found an empty book. So far we have 16 drones excluding my first body. All my drones have lived in the same house and today is the day we get started.

Day 1: Today is the day we will start to repair this village. It may take some time but in a month or two if we continue to reproduce. But we need to get materials. As the day went on we grabbed some tools to get to work. We chopped down some trees. But later a drone was attacked. It was a fleshling like us. But our drone had a saw thing and stabbed them. “Sooo what do we do with the corpse”? We thot for some time. So we gut dragged it and threw it off a cliff.

Day 2: Today was normal but in liberty. We discovered something that would reduce the time needed to make homes for us! It was a city carved in the mountains and there's advantages, like the same temperature throughout the year and more safety from attackers. But there's some disadvantages as well, like it has less forming room. So on that day our plans changed.

Day 3-7: These days we were just normal. We usually fish for food and we eat seaweed from the lakes for our diet. And I sent 3 drones out to hunt for food and some days we got food from them and others didn't but we found a good place to start a hive. A place with a large clear area at the bottom of a cliff.

Day 8: So now we have found a good spot to carve a town but we don't have the tools. We saw this plant by the river that was long, sturdy and able to be harvested. It was hollow inside of it. Useful to make tools out of. And so we grabbed as much as we could and headed back to the village.

Day 9-15: We spent these days as usual but new boards are in the making and we are experimenting with the plants, and they are not good for handles. But a good base for the tool.

Day 16-20: These days have been interesting. We have been experimenting with the plants and they make good support beams and cups. At this point we are ree catering the cave cities.

Day 21: We have started to learn to read and understand words and the cave cities were made by dwarves and in legend there was a forgotten city called Vindor where the last of the ‘precursors’ live however are those people.

Day 22-30: These days we have been reading a lot of books and our population has reached 92 and we need to start to prepare for the winter because we're reaching the fall and we need to build containers for food.

Day 31: Today we have concluded to not build the cave city instead we have to rebuild this town and winter is coming. We don't have much time.

Day 32-35: we have stopped making brood for us because we have much more important matters to attend to. Like rebuilding the village and prepping for the winter. And we are gathering as many resources as we can! We have been hunting lots of fish and animals and gathering as many edible plants as well.

Day 36-50: these days have been busy and we have been making stone tools and harvesting the building materials. We also designed haw awer walls. First we are going to use this bambo stuff (the plant we have been experimenting with) as a backbone and we stuff them with grass. Then we grab some more bamboo, cut them in long washes in half and connect them together and then connect them with some more grass. After we put it up we coat it with concrete from the frum trees . How we get it is that we extract this blood from the trees by making a hole in the tree and put a bucket underneath. Then we put sand and water in the bucket and mix it well.

Day 51: fall is here and we only have 75 days left till winter!

Day 52: we finally got to start billing some buildings and their thale be 2 dome like buildings that will hause all of awer food for the hive and 3 standard homes fot the drones which are big and bloke. Also 1 barn to keep all of the awer tools and equipment.

Day 53-60: these days we have been building these buildings so far we built the bases and the framework.

Day 61-70: As these days we started to get a little wary. More fleshling atacs started to spring up and we lost one of our drones. It felt cooled and dark when it passed away. So we decided to start to build shields and clubes. Shields are simple, they just have a big thing of bark and a smaller thinner piece of bark to act like a handle. While the clubs are gust bamboo filled with concrete filled in. and the hadels are just a bush of sticks held together by the concert from the club. Also we made clothes from animal skin to protect us from the winter’s coled.

Day 71-90: we have nothing much to say but we have been prepping for winter.

Day 91-100: as for these days we started to make a wall around the hive to protect it. We cut down lots of trees as a devents. It surrounded the whole place helping us keep safe.

Day 101-125: these days have been really rude cuntles rades from other hives came to us. thay rent large and only around 10-15 fleshlings came at a time. Thanks to awer advantages we were successful fending off them. And we know what will happen, only more and more rades will come in the winter so we have to go. Go find their nests to end them and stop the raids by killing them! This is the start of the winter wars
