A new day begins, during “breakfast”, which consisted of fish and fruits, the basic diet of the serpent people, who did not eat grains, but planted them for consumption by the Formic and domesticated animals.
Beside me, my 2 wives, both eating their meals with delicate and calm gestures, but inside one was very happy, dopamine levels through the roof, a little sore from the intense night, but very happy.
To think that a living Lich would be the mommy-daddy type and sleep in a spoon.
But vanilla being vanilla is always good.
My first wife wasn't very happy. But I had plans for this, a certain naughty magic that was given to me along with the whole package and now is a good time to test it.
Now that I officially don't eat normal food it doesn't bring me any pleasure and it doesn't satisfy my hunger either, I only drink wine or tea, to have something to do while the normal creatures eat.
Lich has the flavor and texture of hardtack, just to clarify.
“Today we will do the following, Hiutotiaco and his D.K. will hunt down and destroy the remaining forces of the Lich's forces, while Meikosil will descend into the necropolis and collect the remains of the patriarch Akaos. For this, I will provide him with 4 new D.K. Hethress and Sriltos will resolve administrative issues here in the village.”
Meikosil, “Husband, today when I woke up I realized that my patronus had changed, he had abandoned me and now the patronus is you, my husband.”
“Patronus, I understand the concept, but could you explain it to me better?”
“A spiritual patronus is a figure that represents a guide for a person, idea, concept or cause. In the case of warlocks, it is usually a demon or one of the Gods of the evil pantheon that serves as a master, guide or teacher. In my case it is a demon that was linked to death.”
“I understand, one thing I can assure you, my dear wife, I am not linked to death, quite the opposite, I am probably linked to life and creation, from what I have noticed so far.”
“Yes, husband, creation.” I see that the concept goes down squarely, but she tries as best she can to accept the concept. After all, now and above all, she is a Living Lich.
Meikosil and Hiutotiaco talk about where the undead troops are likely to be then Hiutotiaco leaves to assemble his expedition. Soon after, Meikosil, Hethress and Sriltos follow me to an area where the bodies of the mantis that have not been processed are located. It is about 50m from the village. The smell of rotten flesh and the carrion animals already give away the area.
When I get there, I choose 4 bodies and cast Create Greater Undead. From the remains, 4 D.K. Mantis emerge, and I place each one with a type of energy: fire, ice, electricity and acid.
And with that my quota of undead created by me, is full.
“Now you will be under the orders of Meikosil, my wife.” The four fold the antennas on their heads and then go to Meikosil's side.
Meikosil, "Husband, thank you. I will return soon with what my lord husband asked for. See you tonight." She blushes and hides her face under her silver hair, "To me!" She calls the D.K. and teleports.
As soon as she leaves, I take advantage and consume pieces of 10 different mantis.

Sriltos “There are so many bodies that even if we collect many of them to use chitin, there are still many left over. They attract evil spirits and diseases, my lord. We must eliminate these bodies as quickly as possible." He says without hiding his disgust and pinching his nose so as not to smell the smell of death.
The pile of rotting bodies is over 5m high and has a radius of 20m. It is full of rats, flies and other life forms that feed on the dead.
Hethress “Burying them would be a solution, but it could contaminate the soil and also be a focus for ghosts to breed or worse. Another solution would be to burn them, but a large amount of wood would be consumed and there would still be a risk of fire.” She makes her classic gesture when she is thinking. Something that I find increasingly cute.
“Jeannie, any suggestions?” I vocalize the question to my crystal.
Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.
"Using the skill:
Animate/Awaken (Su) 13Lv-You can animate object/plant or awaken within 60m radius as a standard action. This functions as a Animate Objects/plant or aweken spell, with the following exceptions. Each day, you can animate a number of object/animal equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier, and you can control up to one object/tree/animal at a time, plus an additional tree/animal at 15th level and every 2 levels thereafter. A tree remains animated for 10 minutes per level, or until dismissed by you or destroyed.
“Select large tree over 10m tall or more.” She finishes saying.
“Come, we have to find a large tree over 10m tall. Let’s split up and come back here in 15 minutes.”
The two bow and set off to find a tree that fits the skill’s specifications.
Hethress soon calls me, “Husband, I found it!”
I follow her to where she is, next to her is Sriltos. Through the link I learn that he was the one who found the tree, as a resident of the village and already knew how to find a tree like I wanted, but he passed the information on to Hethress. From Hethress’ memories I know that
They had a relationship before, for her, he was just something to ease the time, but for him, she is much more than that.
When I get there, I see a huge tree, the size of a 30-story building, the monster, which I had already seen when I climbed the village walls, but I didn't even remember, from the ground you can't see it because of the dense forest and the eternal fog, but from the walls, it is visible when the rain decreases throughout the day.
It's a Ceiba pentandra, the natives call it "arbo patro" (father tree).
I use the ability and soon the sound of cracking wood fills the forest, The birds fly away in fright and the tree transforms into a living tree, its leafy crown becoming its hair. Its gigantic roots come out of the ground and become its legs, and two of the thickest branches become its arms. The monster trembles and stretches like a wet cat.
Hethress and Sriltos cling to me, panicked.
The immense beast standing in all his immense and powerful height, looks at me and extends one of its huge hand, the size of a table for 6 people. I climb up and after a brief hesitation Hethress and Sriltos do the same.
“Take us to the nearby clearing. What is your name, tree?”
“I have no name, creator, but I would be very honored to receive one.” He says in his voice like the rustling of leaves.
Hethress smiles at me, a smile of the most fanatical and unconditional love that did not hide her true thoughts, her female scent hits my senses with force. “Names have great power, my husband, giving them to someone confers great honor and respect. Creating a father tree and naming it, only legends tell of such a feat. My Lord, my husband...you are so powerful!” His eyes shine and his breathing is accelerated.
Sriltos looks away, wandering uncomfortably through the forest around us.
“Tree, are you male or female?” A question that will define many things.
“I am female, creator.” The tree says in a deep voice like the rustling of a tree in the wind.
“Of course, it is...but I don't know what's worse, never having a name or having it for just a few hours, which is how long my ability works.” I say with regret, I thought that summoned creatures had no consciousness, I don't like the idea of doing that and then the creature disappearing into nothingness.
“The creature can be made permanent if a wish is used on it, the permanence spell doesn't have the power for that, but I wish yes. And being a restricted and very specific effect, the wish spell, which is known for being volatile and treacherous, would have little chance of going wrong.” Jeannie informs me through the link with her cold and professional feminine voice.
“Hmmm...a strong, feminine name. Xena pleases you?” Comes to mind Strong and muscular woman, he is a seasoned warrior and her body reflects this, dark brown hair and long, dark and usually tied in a ponytail or braid, intense brown eyes, using leather armor with metal details, hot, very hot.
A rumble comes from the tree's chest. “Yes, creator, I do, thank you.” She leads us to the clearing and sets us down on the ground, the whole way was like walking on a conveyor belt, smooth and fast.
“Xena, could you get rid of these bodies for me?” I point to the pile of corpses.
“Of course, creator.”She then walks with her footsteps that leave no trace in the forest and without making any noise, climbs onto the pile, turns around and buries her paws into the pile, her feet sink into the pile and the ground begins to shake. We lose our balance and Sriltos and Hethress fall to the ground, then the bodies begin to disappear into the ground as if they were on quicksand.
It's all over in a short time.
“Xena, would you like to be my wife?” I ask directly.
“Nothing would bring me more honor and happiness, my creator!”
Then I cast Wish on my 3rd wife.
5 days, 3 wives. This is a good average.
We return to the village ,Xena remains in the clearing, she said she had fed on the "fertilizer" while she waits for me to call again.
We return to the Great Hall where we will receive the chiefs of the refugee villages.
Bureaucracy and taxes, the only constant in all realities.
As I walk through the village, my new wife receives many looks from the villagers. Fear, respect and curiosity in equal measure came from the people of the village.
Some time later in the hall. I am sitting in my chair to receive the chiefs of the villages,
Hethress at my side, Sriltos serving as herald and secretary, called each of the village chiefs who informed me of their problems and demands: food, protection, and help in the reconstruction of the villages that were attacked.
It is at times like these that I see the lack of a person to take care of and control this bureaucracy and deal with the cogs of the court management of a fiefdom.
Resources were scarce, according to the village resources would run out in 6 days at the current rate. Luckily, the valley, which I discovered, has a very stable climate, only 2 seasons, one where it rains twice a week, and another where it rains every day and darkness reigns in the valley, but the temperatures do not decrease, due to the 5 active volcanoes that surround the valley, then winter will not bring a climate problem.
“The options would be to plunder the villages of the elven or mantis tribes,” suggests Hethress.
“Not the elves, the mantis seem to solve two problems with one stone. But there’s still the transportation problem.” It would only be a palliative, but until I think of something better or someone comes up with a good idea, it will have to do.
As for the priests, since all the religious leaders were killed in the ritual that summoned me, now Hethress was the undisputed leader and taking advantage of this, she brought people from the faction she was part of.
Growing military power, still minimal political power, infrastructure and resources also incipient.
So much to do.
And worst of all, my threesome night will have to be postponed, Xena deserves a night all to herself. And from what I saw in her mind, the act between treants involves exchanging gifts and a long courtship ritual.
Right after the meeting with the village leaders, I saw clearly that she was not happy with the accommodations. Very simple and unworthy of her and her husband, a champion of the Goddess and her creator.
When a woman starts decorating, it's definitely synonymous with headaches.
Damn!
