Breakfast (Ribera) princess's view

The scream we all heard wasn't easy to miss it shook the whole club. The bouncers were told to kick out anyone that didn't work in the club. While us girls went into the back. The girls however wanted to collect all their cash before any dudes tried to get refunds. I slap one guy's hand as he tried to grab my ass while my back is turned. Thankfully the emerald bouncers took him away with a few swollen knots to his face. We quickly found Blaine fixing her clothes she's shocked and a little rattled even. Blaine hugs her worried wife as Emerald/Riana asks, "What happened?"

Blaine takes a moment before answering "Finn... 'Exhales slowly' He's mentally unstable I mean very unstable. That scream he produced I saw his eyes leaking black mist. Hawks had to teleport them away before anything could happen. I think we're all going to have to sit down and talk strategy before the tour scheme begins." Blaine orders the club empty except for the guards. After that we're driven to the palace while Blaine cools off her shock for a little bit.

Calling everyone right away per Blaine instructions and dire need for us all to talk right away. Even though most of the girls are irritated by the sudden meeting Blaine thanks them all for coming short notice. Everyone smirk a little as Riana slaps bandit princess's ass as she walks by in a mini skirt and extra short tube top. She's still under punishment and is serving us drinks. Bandit bits her lip her knees clattering off each other as she struggles to remain standing from the stimulating slap. Lizard princess's punishment as well as the final few hours of her treatment for betraying us. Even tough we each took our pound of flesh for her betray. I was a bit nicer due to how scared and worried she was for Finn in admitting her doubts about the scheme she was apart of. Pillow admits that she didn't go easy on her the betrayal of our trust. And may have strap on sizes that the rest of us should be worried about.

Blaine sighs to speak once we all sat "Girls we have a problem… Finn has PTSD. Post traumatic stress disorder for those of you that don't do medical health. And it's deep his act is strong but hardly holding. From what I've seen from both Maja and Lisa meetings with Finn my suspicions are true. His temper is short, distancing himself from anyone touching him or communicating with him on certain topics. And snapping at even the slightest step we take at flirting with him. It's very clear the wall he's put up is cracking. Even as he frantically tries to keep the remaining pieces in place. It's all too much Finn needs help fast. Or the sweet man that we remember will be a hollow husk by the end of this year. If not faster due to us trying to push him into our arms."

Looks of concern race across all of our faces. Lisa asking "But the war didn't do this at best it put stress on his evil half. And it can't be just us or of what happened to his kids that caused him this much stress can it?"

Blaine shakes her head to say "No this is older while I was half naked and touched Finn's cheek he didn't scream until I said 'I'll love you till the end'. He freaked, screamed, and then was teleported away as his darkness began to seep from his body. I believe his time dead had more of an impact on him then he's letting people believe. So much so that he might even be hiding it from our rivals or they too haven't seen all the signs yet. Either way something must be done quickly cause Finn is a time bomb we don't want to have ticking."

Pillow princess quite and listening but not showing her reaction asks, "How do we help him? The last thing, and I'm sure we're in agreement, we want is Finn to be disgusted by us simply flirting with or confessing our feelings to him."

Blaine folds her arms under her bust to say, "First we have to get him to admit he has a problem. But with his mental walls and not trusting us to be even ten feet from him. Including our confessing to pursue him with all our hearts. I don't know how we can approach him about it even when we honestly want to help. Soldiers that develop PTSD find peace after some time but with no idea what is the direct cause of Finn's. My hunches won't help much. Less of all we'll have no starting point to give him a guiding nudge."

Blaine explanation for us that finding a solid culprit to Finn's trauma is our key to helping him. But where do we even start at finding better clues as to what's the source of his pain? Jungle princess looks at her phone to say "I got a message from Huntress earlier she wants to talk to me. What if we make a proposal to her about Finn's recent development? We could open private talks with her. Make her see that we can help Finn and ease her into understanding things from our perspectives. Slowly we earn her trust and she'll see that Finn needs a small change until he's proper and well rested from his trauma."

Maja smiles licking her lips saying "I see where you're going. We get the nymph to see how shattered Finn really is. She'll agree to make him do the relief tour. And every night one of us gets to play mental nurse for Finn. Share some nice memories with him and ease him into spilling his guts. And slowly he'll give in until finally we get he nice and comfy on his back. Letting us ride him until he knows how much we care for him as well. And slowly he'll give us repeat bedroom stress relief. Which we can slowly turn into true baby making fun." Maja giggles as a few roll their eyes or hum in agreement.

Blaine chuckles to say "Simple in idea yes. But knowing Huntress she cherishes loyalty and family she won't let anything slip past her. She'll have someone keep an eye on Finn and us. We need an agent that'll put up a little smokescreen in Huntresses face. But also we can't have her suspect we had a hand in hiring the agent." We begin to make suggestions of people we can use as pawns to aid us. Some others are just stupid once we point out their flaws.

I think for a moment to ask "What about Breezy? She for lack of better words was the only other woman Finn considered a close friend. It was strange that she didn't go to his wedding. I asked her about Finn once and she clammed up, asking me not to talk to her about him. I think she and Finn might have had a bit of a falling out." We all went around noting about the Bee queens strange attitude about Finn after and sometimes before his death.

Blaine thinking deeply for a moment to say "Maja see if you can crack her thorax. If not invite her to talk to me in private. I've sure she'd love to get an inside comment on a few things Bonnie's kept secret from her. But most of all don't press her she might have a sore spot for Finn. But maybe together they can make amends and we can use it as leverage for her aid."

Blaine moves our talk back to the tours schedule and which of us would more or less not be missed during the time. Set on who is going, we leave Maja's house. I just hope telling them about Breezy wasn't a bad idea. I want Finn to get better and if his wives can't see he needs help we will try to help him. Finn is everything to us and the last thing we want is his own mind to hurt him.

Unknown view

Sighing I finish over seeing the latest shipment of honey. The recent need for food has all my hive combs bustling with different food based products we can produce on mass. But the recent inventory numbers are not stable in some combs. The honey keepers also just return from checking which places aren't damaged from those disgusting goo creature's attacks. But as I'm about to enjoy my normal detour of the day which is warm royal nectar. A knight tells me a witch has entered our territory.

Floating out onto the balcony I see the green skin of the sky witch herself. Stopping short of me she bows half heartedly to say "Sup queen bee mind if you and me talk for a bit. I've got some news on a certain king you once were very close to." I glare at her to order her to enter my throne room. I sent away my guards to sit on my throne once more. I glare as the witch of the skies looks at me with a very untrustworthy smirk.

The sky witch is about to say something but I say "I don't care what you have to tell me about Finn. I told him, my future sight warned me of the harm that will befall him if he married them. The candy that builds only to remember how to destroy. The living fire that grows her forces to scare and play at making war. The vampire that can send out waves of evil both living and dead like a plague to all in her wake. And the nymph that cares only for her isolation and rarely cares for things outside of her forests. I've seen the formation of groups including your own wanting things from Finn both past and present. So what can you tell me that my honey vision hasn't?" I can see her clear bafflement, which slowly turns into sharp tooth smirk.

The witch smiles to say, "Finn has PTSD and it ain't from those elves he just crushed. No from what we can tell this is deeper and more painful. We want to get around his wives you can guess why right? 'I meet her smile with a glare' But anyway he's holding on by a string and those wives of his are too distracted to pay him his dues. So help us by playing the old friend looking out for him after so much time apart. We even have some inside information on Bonnibel that she kept from you." I don't answer her but Bonnibel hasn't been very forthcoming with something's that took place near my honeycombs.

Maja swaying her hips leans over my throne to place a hand at my exposed thigh to say, " It's easy girl you help us and we'll make sure Finn swings his hung piece of meat your way for a long overdue pounding. I mean come on you love him don't you Breezy we all do. Those cunts just muscled back into his life before we got a fair shake. And I can tell by those erect nips poking out your dress that you miss him. How did Finn win your heart bee queen?" I glare to push her back from my face her breath smells of female juices. And from her voice she clearly is hungry like my vision warned me that some women are.

I stare at her to answer "I earned his trust the secrets we shared, we agreed to take them all to the grave. And the respect we have for the others opinion stands even now." I stare at the witch as she crosses her arm. She clearly wanted me to expose a secret to her but I won't. Finn died he fulfilled his oath but it still hurts how we stopped talking.

The witch huffs to say, "Ok so will you help us? I mean its Finn he needs someone's shoulder to cry on."

I answer "No I don't like his wives but the last thing I want is Finn losing the very things that have kept him happy since his death. You may want to smash the strings to quickly replace them. But those strings are saving you from a monster he's clearly keeping buried. And I dread to see what a saddened or guilt crazed person like Finn would do in that state of mind." The sky witch halts her words for a moment to mutter to herself. Seeing her come to some horrible realization or fact in my words she seems to go pale for a moment.

The witch snaps back saying "Think about this girl he's going crazy cause of what they were scheming…"

I cut her off saying "And what you're scheming will hurt his relationship with his children! One of which is banished until he's old and gray at best. Worse Finn has to find his corpse to burry. Another having to live with a prosthetic leg. And have you though about the rest of them and how they feel right now? His youngest had to take a life to save himself from being killed!"

The witch scoffs to say "They'll understand when they have a romantic problem later... If they have the same problems. Only three of them need Finn as a father the rest have moved on with their lives. Its only fair Finn gets to have the chance to watch and raise children now that he's back. Even you know when to let the little bees start living and growing. We want Finn to have the chance to be a father again."

I sigh to say "He was a father for a significant amount of years he was a happy man with his wives and kids..."

I stand to float over to the window remembering the very conversation at this spot that hurt my relationship with Finn. Maja says "Don't you want the chance to see him standing next to you as you birth a baby from both your bloodlines?"

I look at her reflection in the glass to close my eyes. For some brief moments I'm not sure what I fully see. But Finn is in pain and all I see around him is endless storm clouds. I sigh to say, "I will come but none of you will touch him. I will help him with his trauma. If you try anything I'll tell all what you tried to do to him in his wounded state. Then who do you think the people will have more sympathy for?"

I hold my glare as she sucks her teeth to march to the window and fly away. I continue through the day in a machine like routine until night finally comes. In my nightgown I tighten the string around my waist to focus my mind. Once sure I fly off my room's small perch and head south. Following the river as it winds a little I stop seeing a certain human simply fishing. Landing gently I walk to him with a calm face. Finn turns to show a slight look of surprise. Finn says, "Breezy wow didn't expect to see or hear from you with... How we left things…" I nod asking if I could sit with him. Finn shrugs as I look out at the stream from next to him.

I know Finn is glancing at my body my nightgown it hardly covers much. But it is nice that I can affect him to glance my way. After a few minutes of silence I say, "Finn you did nothing wrong you chose. We just wished you gave us a chance to date you too. Pretty much every royal read your memoir and agree you were and still are a good man. But even I can see the burden you now walk with." I look at Finn's face as he breaths several times to close his eyes.

Not looking at me Finn asks "When I asked you not to look into my future I did it cause my masters warned me about seeing things that had yet to be. You can't change the past or the present. The future as they warned shifts even when people try to glance at it. You must let things happen or go by. If not you risk questioning it all. I was angry when you told me that in my future you saw one of my wives cheating on me. It turns out Bonnie was almost raped by Ricardo while I was dead…... Breezy are we still friends?" Finn barely looks at me and I can still hear the hurt in his voice. Me looking into his future all those years ago had him so worried that even knowing what happened while he was gone brings no peace to his mind. And being honest my future sight brings me no peace either.

I reach over to take his hand to answer, "You know my answer and how I feel. You know unlike the others after you that I don't want you as a trophy. Or as a symbol to hang over their head… I want you as the hero that saved a sweet bee girl from being whored out by her horrible mother and her consort. Finn don't just be my hero just once more time but the guy you want to be." Finn closes his eyes as I float in front of him moving the fishing pole from his hands.

Cupping Finn's face I slowly pull him closer to me. Much like all those years ago before flame princess but after his crush on Bonnie. I was Finn's gal pal. He told me everything and we shared so many kisses by this stream. I told him and encouraged him to find a princess younger then me. Thanks to Jake Finn found Flame princess and only a year into their rocky relationship they broke up. Finn was hurt and with the problems I had to see to, after overthrowing my mom and becoming queen. My stupid advice was for him to talk to other princess's cause I was too busy. With them all knowing Finn was back on the market they tried every underhanded trick they could. But only I saw what happened when it was too late... Finn left, he grew up, and became a hero of legend. But his heart wanted love not fame. And thus those three plus one extra managed to win him over.

Finn told me about his time with Huntress. She was a woman that hated being seen vulnerable. She wanted to be seen as a strong woman that no one should mess with. But Finn and his constant kindness got to her eventually… just like me. I'm pretty much a milf trying to swoop in and reclaim the territory I left. Stroking his face I feel the tears at my fingers as our lips remain softly connect. Stroking his cheek I softly whisper against his lips, "You can cry Finn we both know this isn't what's hurting you. We can talk later right now close you eyes and rest for as long as you need."

Resting his head in my lap I know how Bonnie did this for him when he was too young to know about flirting and girls. I know how a night he'd cling to Marceline and bury his face in her large breasts. I know some rainy days he's rest his head on Eleanor's ass. Or spoon Elizabeth from behind as he naps to smell the pine or dew in her leafy hair. I know his fetishes cause watching Finn was my passion due to letting him go off my bad advice. So many regrets when we don't have a proper perspective. We mortals are selfish but I guess I earned my selfish nature being a single queen with no heirs to my throne. And every bee that works for me sees me as his or her motherly figure. I want him just as I remember wanting him before. Just like all the others when he finally came home at that concert. But right now he needs to heal and I guess this time I get to heal him right. And not brush him off as I did before. The past repeats if we don't learn from it as an old human once wrote...

Finn's view

Waking up under the tree by our stream is actually peaceful. Turning I see Breezy with a bundle of fruits and a bowl of honey still wearing the black see through nightie. Walking over she says, "I remember when we first came here. You striped to you boxers and jumped into the stream. I didn't care but I thought you had cute buns." I blush remembering vaguely the old impulsive child like nature I had. Looking back at those faded memories I can't remember were all that time went. Or all of the details of my younger years as an adventurer anymore...

I sit to eat with her as Breezy says "Finn you need a break no fighting, ruling, talking with nobles, or legal stuff. Just cold turkey time off. You need to regain some of your old spark. And if your going to keep the beard try styling it down. It felt like I was kissing a hug wolf. The rugged look isn't for you if I have to be being honest." I make a mirror with some water to look over my face. Wondering how I should style my hair now. Thinking for a moment I start curling my hair. Slowly shaping it forward I trim my sides and beard. Fading the sides of my beard I trim down my mustache leaving it like an upside down U. I also braid my ponytail and leave three thick strands of hair handing in front of my face.

Finishing off my look I nod to look a Breezy who says "Looks good Finn but are you sure you want to keep your facial hair like that?"

I look at the mirror at my shortened facial hair to answer, "New me right can't look like how I was forever. I mean I am immortal now but need a new face every now and then…" Immortal... Damn I'll watch my kids grow old and never be able to... Unless I...

Breezy shifts pulling me back from my dark thoughts with a squeeze to my arm and saying "Finn why don't you sing for a while… I honestly liked hearing you sing for your kids. I'd hate to see that good natured voice fade."

Breezy gives me a soft smile just seeing her smile makes me so calm. Sighing I say "The other princess hustled my manager into agreeing for me to do a relief tour in the empire and republic for a while. But I have one last piece of business to take care of involving the war. And it honestly hurts that I have to go through with this..."

Breezy looks at me worried before she pat my hand. Giving it a squeeze I look at her to say "I have to say goodbye to my son for a while… Even though as a dad I want to fight for him… I can't let him walk free while having him hold the shame of what he did... Without being punished and understanding it. And everyone looking at him like a monster... This might be a chance for him to make a better path for himself. I'll see you later Breeze maybe after all the craziness we can hangout like old times."

Standing with me Breezy says she'd like that. But as I look at her I can't help but feel like when we were younger. How she was taller then me, had better dating advice, and was cool to be around. She was... I hesitate but I do it still. I peak her lips for a moment to get her to giggle at me. Her eyes tell me she wished it could be longer like last night. Breezy says. "Still the same silly guy huh Finn."

I blush to teleport to meet my dad and Wolf. Only the three of us know where they're being dropped off. So using my magic of speech and a dragon shout we stay close to the airship as it travels past the charted seas and through the blacked wild ocean. Reaching the Scarred lands Fox and Connor are dropped off in their holding cells. We remain out of sight of the Vtol's cameras as nearly everyone is watching this moment. The jailor shouts from the open door "In a half and hour you two will be let out. Hope it was all worth it!" As the airship grows further in the distance we appear and I cut the boys out.

Connor and Fox look somewhat confused at seeing us but my dad slaps both of them on the back of the head. Dad says, "That was from your grandmothers and aunts." He then punches them both in the stomach saying that part was from their mothers, uncles, and him.

I walk over dropping two duffle bags at their feet. Wolf exhales his cigar smoke saying, "You two sure caused a good amount of trouble… But this time away will be good for you both. And we have a job you two need to do if you want to see home ever again."

I see their confusion to add, "The Shifter maybe gone but the blade of Golb was broken. Golb is a god of chaos and destruction anything related to him is just that pure destruction…. The lich took me years to deal with and even his lingering magic still affects things. Lets not forget the Demonic and the war of old that had plenty of lingering affects on people. Boys you need to find those shards and smash them fast. Or send them to Hunson in the Night-O. That way I can smash them."

Dad steps forward to give them both emergency radios saying "Boys we can't contact you while you're out here. And whatever you face you'll have to do it alone. But for your mothers be strong and do what you must… I don't want to see you two return to us as middle aged men. Or worse you two coming home in coffins. If the people see that you did good here they might allow you to pay time with civil services." The boys nod and dawn their confiscated armor. Connor however rips off the patches the Unics gave him. Fox using a knife to scrap at his armors paint taking away the colors of the enemy he once sided with.

Wolf gives his son a lighter to say "My old man got me into smoking. He gave me that so give it back when your sick of the shit you smoke." Fox nods as I give Connor a handgun I brought back with me.

I hold it stopping him from fully taking it from my grasp to say, "I killed a general of an army of a tech world and took his sidearm, this very one. I had it infused with my lighting powers and a bit of their odd plasma based energy. Instead of bolts it works like a rail gun. Put any rock or metal in it and the cylinder turns it into ammo to fire... 'Connor lowers his head but I pat his shoulder' I don't hate you Connor and being human doesn't mean you're weak. It's being a simple minded human that makes you weak."

Connor nods but I pull him into a hug to add, "Come back changed Connor because if not your mom will come find you. And probably force you to find a girlfriend so she can have grandkids." Releasing Connor I step back to open two portals. Wolf and dad step through one while I go through the other. With both closing I give the boys a soft smile hoping they do make it back in one piece.

Walking through grasslands a little my manager texts me a few times. So I call and talk with him. I agree to do the tour but I told him an old friend needed an all access pass. Frisbee says "Man I can't believe the Queen of Bee's will be touring with you. Hey you think you can ask her about that royal jelly pound cake. It's sold out everywhere." I tell him I'll ask but not to hold it against me if I can't.

Not really feel like heading to Jake and Lady's place yet I walk for a while. Some people that managed to stay safe from the goo dudes spot me from the town streets as I walk by. Some don't think it's me until Hawk's and Calamity pop up. A bunch of kids ask for my autograph and I'm cool with it. I blush, as a milf wants me to sign across her cleavage. Calamity helps guiding my hand writing and keeping me calm. With autographs over I get back to walking around.

I chuckle as some young kids march behind me to try a sing one of my songs. I think it's cute and well why not get a bit of practice in. I soul speech a bit and the Elder Gods appear. Telling them my plan they agree and we set up next to a small park to play. I smirk as I start to sing the new song I wrote to be a soft melody tune.

Ah... Oh.. Oh.. 'Short guitar rift'

Up on melancholy hill there is a plastic tree. Are here with me?

Just looking out one the day of another dream...

Where you can't get what you want but you can get me...

So let's set up and see...

Cause you are my medicine when you're close to me

When you are close to me...

Oh.. Oh..

So call in the submarines around the world we'll go, does anybody know? Love

If we're looking out on the day of another dream...

Oh.. Oh..

If you can't get what you want then you come with me

Up on melancholy hill

Sits a manatee

Just lookin' out for the day when you're close to me

When you're close to me...

Oh.. Oh..

When you're close to me...

Oh.. Oh..

Oh.. Oh..

With my songs end the people cheer as well as snap pictures. I smile actually feeling a little better honestly. With Breezy watching out for me maybe this tour won't be so bad. I just need to keep calm, clear my mind, and enjoy the music. The world only is watching me for my music... Nothing else...
