"They are fine, the boys defeated three Weasel Folk that tried to attack them. What is strange is that they would try to attack Bees. This might have something to do with the Queen," Queeny replied.
I let out the breath of air that I was holding and relaxed, but only a little. This was not good, the Weasels were already enemies with the Ferrets, so me bee-ing here, fuck, wasn't good for them.
"What do you think we should do?" I asked Queeny, not wanting to keep relying on her, but I was lost at this point.
Every human instinct said to run, but my Bee mind was calm. Something inside of me told me that this was fine, and I would need to get used to dealing with these kinds of things.
"Continue as you are, but we will have to look into creating jobs for people such as espionage, and surveillance. There are other things like Shock Troops, and Ambushers we could get, but we should focus on the first two and our defense. Save your energy for tomorrow, you have already a Bee-asy day," Queeny told me as we wandered through the village, but we stayed near the outskirts so we could see the others.
"Sure, but aren't they having a festival for me tonight? I am getting tired, and it would be nice to get some sleep," I said just as I had to cover a yawn with a small stretch included.
"We need to wait for the girls to get back, and the girls will have lots of pollen to make wax, and it will be fast to dry since it isn't as hot as the hive out here. We can go see the chief and tell him that we won't be staying up, and then the girls should be done. I think that they just got back now, I can see Tag and Sig, but the girls must be lower," Messia said.
"Let's go see how they are," I said while pulling the two smiling girls behind me.
"They are okay, Ashia," Queeny said as she flew along beside me.
"I know, but I just want to see them," I said as the other girls kept up with me.
Maybe I was holding their hands too tight, or it was my pulling them forwards, but they seemed to get it and didn't tell me it was okay. These stupid emotions and thoughts of worry flooded my mind.
I was scared that what I thought was fine and what Queeny thought was fine were two completely different things.
I finally saw the three girls, and the hands let go of me as I ran forward to see them. I scooped up Pixie and Talli, still being careful of their wings, but squeezing them tightly.
"Ashy! We are full! Don't squeeze so hard!" Pixie complained, and I let them down gently.
I stood, and then started to look over Leah as I heard the buzzing wings stop, and two thumps, but I was making sure that the girls were fine like some mother hen. I couldn't help myself, there was a part of me that felt connected to each and every one of my new subjects.
"I am sorry girls, I got the notification for the fight, and I couldn't stop worrying," I said to them.
"Hey, our Queeniest of Queens!" I heard Ted, I mean Tag say, and I turned to find the two of them standing and grinning, but they should be this happy.
"Thank you boys, you did an amazing job! On top of that you each gained a level, and that means you should be a bit stronger now, right?" I asked, interested to know what they had got from the increase.
"Oh Queen, we most certainly did, and now we are excellent beyond belief! Tag, show the Queen your excellent new move!" Sig told Tag, and he jumped in the air at his brother's prompt.
I watched and listened to the ridiculous skill chant that Tag used to activate what I could only assume to be a Shield Bash.
"Most Awesomest Smashing Shield!" Tag called, and he rocketed forward five meters so fast that he left tracers.
I had to start clapping because I was very impressed, and there was no hiding it. I then turned to Sig, looking at him and waiting expectantly to see what cool thing he could do.
"Excellent Attracting Eye!" Sig yelled and he lifted his shield with a smile.
The center of the shield burned with a bright light and I couldn't look away from it until it stopped. When it did, I felt like I was released from some kind of hold, that was strong, like a taunt, but we needed to find some way to counter it because it even worked on me.
"Very impressive, both of you, I hope that we have more great people like you two in the future. Thank you for your hard work, but I am getting tired, do you think that you could ask the Chief Thiamon to come to see me in his daughter's huts?" I said, starting to feel more tired now that the worrying was over.
"Most definitely, my Queen!" Tag said as he dragged his brother off before he could tell me something, excellent.
I turned back to my group of five and stumbled a little bit as I did. Both Riza and Messia rushed to my side and helped steady me.
"Tell us where to go, and we will have it done before you get there," Leah said with determination, and the little girls had the same looks that made me smile.
"Riza, go take them quickly so we can get her to rest," Messia said while getting a better hold of me.
The four raced off, and it was just the two of us.
"Long first day, you must be exhausted. Let's just take our time, there is no rush, you have done wonders for your first day. I am truly impressed with all that you have accomplished so far," Messia told me as we limped back to Miku and Xani's hut.
