Epic of Bee

[View of Trent]

"I told you not to place all your hopes on the words of a Seer! Now, look at the mess you have made!" Growled Geth, the Fallen.

"We don't know that we have lost yet. This one did not see the Predators die, and it was ten to one in our favor! Why do you think that?" Trent growled back, pointing at the lifeless body on the ground.

The two men glared at each other, but the shrouded figure beside Trent did not move. Leavfa was not allowed to move, but at this point, her entire body was numb from never leaving this place.

The Sheep Folk Princess prayed that there might be a chance for it all to end, but the chances of that were minimal. The Lichtar had complete control of her every move, and it also prevented her from dying from things like hunger, thirst, or exhaustion.

"No! We have lost them all! Even Kena!" Geth raged, throwing his Purple Demon arms in the air.

Geth was a massive Demon Fallen, and his face was a twisted mass of horns and teeth. The creature's visage was even troubling for Trent to look at when it was pleased, but now it was horrifying.

"That is impossible!" Trent tried to counter, but the Fallen's face said that it was true.

"They have discovered how to remove the Lichtar. To make things worse, now they have gained most of what was left of your army! Now you have no way to make more!" Geth yelled at Trent, and the man shrunk back.

Pendra had been a failure, and now Trent had no way to create an army, but there was more than one way to shake a stick.

"It is not over yet. I am already working on securing the other Queen that is already fertile and is already creating more workers. The group I sent should already have gained access to the hive with the information that I received from Leavfa," Trent explained, slowly regaining his composure.

"This pathetic creature again! Have you not learned your lesson yet?!" Geth sneered.

"No! There is something about that Queen that affects her visions! Leavfa has never been wrong before this, and I have never had any reason to do so. You and I know we would not have come so far without her guidance!" Trent railed against Geth, and the Fallen relented but did not change his expression.

"Regardless, you have just fed the enemy with more troops, and now you have kicked the BeeHive. What do you think the Little Queen will do now? Leave you to continue your plans? The ones that are going to be all explained in the same detail that you made them in!" Geth snapped, and that forced Trent to close his mouth.

There was no denying that Kena and all the rest would tell all of his plans, but there wasn't really much to tell. Trent was going to overthrow the kingdoms, even though he had failed in his first attempt.

"Now, we must leave this place, or we will be found before we can recover our forces. What will you do with the Infertile Queen? She could be fodder, but she is weak and useless," Geth said as he turned to leave.

"I will just leave her. Considering the time that we have wasn't on her already, there is no point in trying to get blood from a stone. I will cover her in the Lichtar, and then she can be a little surprise from the Little Queen and provide another distraction," Trent said and then followed Geth out of the Cave.

Leavfa was left alone, as she always was, but something had changed inside of her. This was not the first change, but this one was the greatest that she had viewed.

Since Leavfa had been kidnapped, she lived a life filled with visions of horrors that she knew would come true. Trent forced her to tell him what would happen, and then we would alter his plans until they succeeded in Leavfa's visions.

That was until she had seen the Beautiful Queen, Ashia. Like a light that burned away the darkness Leavfa had condemned herself, visions of the Queen made hope leak into her souls for time.

The first time that Leafva was forced to make a prophecy for Kena to capture the Queen, something had happened. Leavfa had been able to lie and not explain the vision as it was.

Leavfa could not show emotion or move, so she had been allowed to silently cheer while Trent had raged when Kena had returned empty-handed. Now, The Queen had done it and freed so many of the trapped women.

For the first time since she had been captured, Leavfa could see a future where she would be able to run free. Leavfa would have new sisters in that same future, and she would be holding their hands while she ran.

[Ashia's View]

I walked over to the massive Elephant Folks body with Beezli's help and looked down at the woman. She was covered in a gold layer of nectar, but it wasn't as golden as my own Royal Honey.

"The Nectar will remove the Lichtar and heal most injuries, but I am afraid that some will die even after that. These poor creatures have been forced to start away the entire time that they have been controlled. On top of the ones that will die, there will be many that will not be able to recover from the things that they were forced to do," Beezli explained as she walked up beside me.

I was frustrated and angry. Even after winning, it still felt like we had lost, but I was not going to let this bring me down.

"No, you are wrong. They all will recover, and then I will return each and every one of them to their homes! Too many have been lost already; can you keep all the ones that are going to die in stasis until I can figure something out to help them?" I asked.

"I can, but what are you going to do to help them right now?" Beezli asked curiously.

"Right now? Nothing, but I will keep them safe until I can figure out something. Let's go and talk to Pellata, and I need to tear a strip off Ryan!" I said as I turned my smashed up QBee Drone to limp down the side of the mountain with Beezli's help
