Epic of Bee

"Bee-am us down!" I called, still feeling a bit worried about this meeting.

This could turn out to be something that could end up making us enemies if it wasn't handled properly. I had read stories about different races that acted like this, and I initially thought that all Bees were like this.

Though my first experience with my mother, I guess that's what I would refer to the Queen as. Not like she was anything like my real mother, but in a sense, she was in this world, whether I liked it or not.

"Don't worry, everyone knows now to Bee on their best BeeHive-ior," Miasma said from behind me as she slipped her hands around my waist.

She leaned forward and gave me a kiss and then rubbed her face into Atom, who started to purr softly. I took a deep breath and then waited for the shift; even with Serria's paw in my hand, I was still feeling a bit nervous.

Suddenly, I was standing on a massive flat rock outcropping, with the entrance to the Bubble Hive directly in front of me. There were very thin and delicate versions of the original Bees that I had first met when I was born.

The first thing that I noticed was the Queen, and that was because she was wearing some kind of transparent dress that caught the light. Still, it was more than just the dress; it was the hands that were trying to wring water from it that I noticed first.

I took in a deep breath and then let it out. I was still standing in the center of my guards, and that would be intimidating, so I slowly started to move forward.

As I did, my guards slowly separated, but my wives and the others in my party stayed closed. Xani and Serria both let go of my hands and slowly slipped behind me as I approached the nervous Queen.

"Queen Mordiraine, my name is Ashia, Queen of my people. I have come to visit and to let you know that I have dealt with the Troll problem, and they will not be bothering you anymore," I said after giving a slight bow.

Mordiraine looked surprised, and her eyes went wide as she let go of her dress.

"You have already dealt with them? Did you kill them?" The Queen asked in shock, but I shook my head no with a smile.

"No, I took them as my subjects, and now they are part of my Hive," I explained, but that only made the Queen look more confused, and then she started to look around.

I guess she had only been concentrating on me at the time, and now she was taking a moment to see all the other people that I had brought with me. I guess this shocked expression the Queen had on wasn't that strange.

From what I had seen of this world since I got here, all the races stayed to themselves. I wonder if it was like this all over the world and up in the sky?

Surely there would be some people that could get along, and there was the Sand Empire that the girls had mentioned when talking about Terrance. Maybe this was the standard way that they did things in the more secluded parts, but there was no way to know right now, so I focused back on the Queen.

"How? I see only two Bees with you beside yourself, yet there are many other races. Why do you not bring out your legions of Bees?" Moiraine asked in confusion, and I started to get why she was so nervous.

This Queen must think that I am just another Queen-like my mother and that I have a massive army waiting inside. Mordiriane probably thought that I was just waiting to pounce on her and her people when they did something wrong.

"I am not like the other Queen, nor am I like any other bee. I am slowly building my Hive, but I am not taking people that do not want to be part of it. I am only here to help those that need it, and this is the best way I can think to do it. I have no legions of workers and no massive army that will come pulling out, but I do have some very strong Troll waiting if there is any trouble," I said to Mordiraine, and that seemed to calm her down a bit.

"I see; well, you have done what we needed, and now we must find some way to repay you for your kindness," Mordiriane said to me, and I held back the sigh and eye roll that wanted to break free so severely.

Here we go, I really hope that this wasn't going to turn into an all-day event, but then something hit me. The Queen had said that they would have to find some way to repay me, meaning that they didn't have something already prepared, and I could use this to my advantage.

"Actually, I am very interested in the way that you live and how you build your structures. For me, this would be the greatest gift you could give. I would love for myself and my group to be taken on a tour through your Hive, if that is alright with you."

At first, the Queen gave me a look like I was crazy, but I had made sure to use a tone that made me sound genuinely interested. I was, and I didn't want some random gifts that I wouldn't know what to do with.

"Are you sure that is all you want from us?" The Queen asked, her voice sounding strained.

"Yes, that, and I would like to know how you build your Hive with the Nectar. There must be something that you are doing or adding to the Nectar, and I would like to learn about it to help improve my own Hive," I explained and pointed up to the Royal Flying hive Fortress, and the Queen gaze followed my hand.

"You need to make it better? This already looks far beyond anything that we could ever hope to achieve! Why do you think that we can help you?" The Queen asked in confusion.

"I didn't do this with just my ideas alone! This was created with the help of many other great minds from other races, and I would like to include your minds in my future projects," I said, and the Queen finally seemed to fully relax.
