Wholly Undead 136 The Spider Queen's Proposal

Jack's flaming eyes burst back into life, as he looked over to Leslie. Leslie has a fine mist of black perspiration all over her body. Her qipao was sticking to her and accented her curves.

"J-Jack... What-What time is it?" Leslie spoke weakly.

"Hmmmm, it should be morning." Jack judged by his internal clock.

"W-What? It's only been a night???" Leslie huffed a few times, appearing to be very tired.

"Only a night, as I we are expecting Warmarshal Frostgard and her charge." Jack said casually, but his tone held a hint of contempt when he spoke of her charge.

Leslie weakly nodded.

"You know, I am curious."

"About what... huff..." Leslie asked, still out of breath. Jack still wondered about this reaction. It was very similar to Emily's.

"Are you going to oppose Emily on monopolizing my time for... That?"

"YES!" Leslie spoke loudly.

"Oh?!"

"Jack... How come you are so... So, much better than our first time?" Leslie wondered where he learned his tricks... more importantly, who taught him his tricks.

"It's just some experimentation on my part from things I learned while traveling in the plane of light as a soul."

"So, the plane of light is fore perverts... huff, huff... Got it." Leslie said without thinking, as she turned over on her side to face Jack.

"..." Jack didn't have a comeback, answer, or otherwise to this statement.

"So, besides receiving the Warmarshal Frostgard, what else are you going to do today?" Leslie asked, as her voice was slowly returning to normal.

"I plan to head to the Library of Saigunrai. I need to check some of their tomes."

"What a nerd you are..." Leslie teased.

"A nerd that just played with your soul for the last twelve hours." Jack countered.

"So, you did. Speaking of which, I hold Emily in higher regard now."

"Oh?" Jack wondered what she meant.

"Little Emily endured under you for two days... I thought that was a bit much, at the time, thinking you were just doing what We did... She endured your... Well she endured for that long. I'm impressed."

"Don't think you can handle it?" Jack asked, seriously, but he was also teasing.

"Oh, honey I could endure for another week. I need to find the time for both of Us to get a week of doing this..." Leslie spoke, as she popped the tomb, and sat up.

Jack looked at Leslie's hair, as it cascaded down her back from over her shoulders. This was his woman... She wasn't weak, but he still wanted to protect her from the world.

Leslie got out of the tomb and stretched.

"Blah... I thought I would have more time." Leslie spoke, as she held her head.

"Hmmm, what is it?"

"Two agents have reports for me. The Dead Tide is rising again north of Souigak, as Stonedge and Borda are still fighting against different waves, and there is a serious report from Jakahn."

"What about Jakahn." Jack said fiercely.

Leslie listened a bit more to the report, that was mentally messaged to her. She finally stopped and looked to Jack with a shocked expression.

"Vampires." Leslie said speechlessly.

"Vampires? In Jakahn???" Jack was baffled... Where did Vampires come from?

"We need to hold a meeting."

"Alright. Let's go to my Office. I will mentally Message everyone."

Leslie nodded, as they both put on their indoor slippers, and walked out of Jack's room.

"Leslie run up ahead to my Office. I'll get Emily, and the rest." Jack asked, as he began to float. Jack tried to return to walking, but found it was so much easier to just fly around.

"Hmmmm, alright, but don't start anything you have to finish." Leslie flipped her hair, as she went to her own room. She would change before going to Jack's Office. She would date be caught with her wear sweaty as it was... As the very least she needed to wipe down.

Jack nodded, as he floated over to his second Consort's room. He opened the door, as he walked into the room. He found Emily sitting in a chair talking to a spider web.

[Did I play with her soul too hard, too long, too much?!?] Jack wondered watching this.

Emily noticed he had come into the room and waved him over. Jack floated over slowly and landed beside her watching a spider in the middle of a web.

Just as Jack was going to ask a question, an authoritative feminine voice drifted out of the web.

"Who came in?" The voice sounded.

Jack was dazed, as Emily mentally messaged him, [This is my royal mother I'm talking to... Queen of Neolith.]

[Ah.] Jack thought, and thanked Emily.

[Is this what one would call... A web call???] Jack amused himself by his own cleverness.

"I am the God-King of Deagoth, you are addressing. I see that you are speaking to my Consort. State your name and intention." Jack said, as he went to acting.

Emily facepalmed, [Oh, Creator...]

"Oh! You call yourself God-King now? How interesting. I'm Kamilah Neith, Spider Queen of Neolith, Jack."

Jack looked over to the facepalmed Emily, as she stiffened up. Jack reached down and tousled her hair.

"It's good to finally speak with you. Say... Jack... What are your intentions with my daughter?" The Queen asked, in a seemingly flat voice.

Emily couldn't believe what her mother just asked.

"Are you seriously asking me this?" Jack retorted.

"I am."

"Are you sure you really want to know, Kamilah?"

"I'm sure."

"I plan to wed your daughter, and I also have designs on playing with her soul at my convenience. Every chance I get I plan to find new ways to play with her until she doesn't know her name. On a side note, I plan to make her a Queen, though I haven't decided where." Jack said all at once.

Emily now wondered if this was what true death felt like, as she really wanted to pass on now...

Kamilah's voice went silent, for a period of time, until loud bursts of laughter were heard!

Jack was amused not just by Emily's mother's laughing, but also Emily's reaction, as she swayed in her chair covering her face with her hands.

[What an interesting mother and daughter pair.] Jack thought until Kamilah responded.

"Forget my daughter! I'll marry you, and We can combine Our kingdoms!"

"Mo-MOTHER?!?"

"Hmmmm?" Jack wasn't sure he heard right

"I'm serious! You sound like you know what to do to a lady! I'd love to make you my new husband. I'm willing to drop all of my husbands to marry you, but you would have to drop both of your current Consorts. What do you think?"

Emily looked up at Jack, while Jack's flaming eyes danced quickly.

"I'm sorry, but I like my current Consorts... Let alone, I've never seen you."

"Baby, I can tell you, I am gorgeous."

"I believe you, but We don't have to combine our kingdoms."

"What do you mean?" The Queen's voice lost its humor and took a turn for the serious.

"Kamilah... As a favor to my Emily, I will let you know something."

"...You already have my intention." Kamilah spoke.

"By all rights, I should never tell my enemies this, but I consider you an ally. Can We be considered allies?"

"Unless you become Our enemies..."

"That depends on your answer. Can you tell me you will keep this to yourself...? So, I am going to provide you trust, as an ally, to provide a favor as Emily's mother."

"I see what you're getting at... Speak."

"I speak when I feel like it. Hold your voice, woman, you are speaking to a god." Jack's flaming eyes flashed and radiated.

Kamilah sat within her throne room, looking at her daughter's web, as the glowmoss on her ceiling grew brighter, before dimming back down.

She looked down back to the web and spoke, "So you are..."

"I plan to take over this spit of land. This spit of land includes Neolith. State your allegiance." Jack said flatly. Emily was frantically waving her hands to stop Jack, but he continued, as if she wasn't doing anything but sitting in her chair.

"Neolith's alliance falls to the winner." The Spider Queen said cleverly.

"Then I will be counting on your support... Kamilah." Jack said with confidence, and a sinister tone.

"Jack... Are you sure about not disregarding Our lovers and becoming the King and Queen of these Lands?"

"I'm already a god... It's only a matter of time for these lands to be mine. I'm sorry, but Emily is already my Consort. I will marry her. At best, you could only become a concubine. So, I think it best that We keep a distance between Us."

"...I see... It was worth a try... When are you going to marry my Emily?"

"You mean MY Emily... Soon. I need to finish some major projects soon, and I will wed her and my first Consort. At any rate, it was good to speak with you, Kamilah. I will be taking my Consort now."

"And what do you plan to do?"

"Haha! What do male and female undead do when they are alone?"

"I-wait! Have you guys already laid together?!"

"Good bye... Kamilah." Jack watched the little Gem Spider wiggling, as he flicked his finger and tiny flick of light flew from his finger and bumped the Gem spider to the side.

The Gem spider got back up from its tumble and shook itself. It looked to Emily and then to Jack. Once it seen Jack, it shivered, and went to its usual place to take a nap.

Jack looked over to Emily, "Come with me, We are meeting concerning some reports We just received." Jack requested Emily, who was still in a daze... How was she going to face her mother in the future?
