Epic of Bee

I had split the Nectar drinks in my excitement, so I had to float back up to get some more. I also had to explain about the GraviBees, and how I was floating, but I didn't go into depth.

If I couldn't fix this problem, I would have to deal with it, but I hoped I would be able to figure it out by the time we got out of here. I had a sneaking suspicion that that was going to be when what I assumed to be a virus of some kind would be activated.

"So, then if you are so great, what are you doing here?" Helaina asked, and the question stung, but I didn't let it show.

"I was tricked by the Sky Council and was forced to relocate," I explained as I landed and handed her the cup, and Helaina's eyes went big.

"You can just escape like that?! That is some powerful magic!" Helaina commented and then took a deep drink of her Nectar, letting out a moan after.

I let her think what she wanted; it wasn't like I was far outside the range of being able to use that kind of magic, I supposed. I wouldn't reveal anything about the Queen System then I had to, and I wouldn't confirm or deny anything asked about it.

"I had to leave my people behind me, and there is other turmoil going on in the world that I have to deal with. You and your sister's Viruses are other things that will have to go on the list, but the first thing is finding this God, Rai Cait. I want to see if I can get him up and then probe him for answers," I explained and then took a drink of my Nectar.

For me, it was like delicious sugar water with honey, but I wasn't anything compared to when Messia fed me. It was still good, and it helped recharge my body and give me energy, but the single cup was more than enough to fill me.

"What makes you think that you will be able to wake him up? Or that we can find him?" Helaina asked me after she finished off her drink.

"I have good helpers and some other tricks up my sleeve. I am also pretty good at summoning gods, and I will be feeling around for any traces of Divine power. If Rai Cait is actually here, I will find him, and then we'll talk," I said as I stood up.

"I will scout ahead and check out the paths, and I will drop off OpsBees that will explore ahead and let us know if there are any dangers or monsters," Tigra said as she shrunk back down.

Atom was already inside my head and worked on setting up multiple scanners to work with Tigra and her OpsBees.

"I will stay as a guard, and I will take care of anything that comes our way!" Thanos said as he flexed his four toes and suddenly started to glow.

I had to cover my mouth from yelling how cute he looked; that would have ruined the moment. I really wanted to see what kind of strange powers those toes had, but what happens if he evolves again and gets the fifth toe?!

I was getting carried away, but only seeing his powers in action would tell!

"Are you ready to go?" I asked Helaina, and she nodded to me but looked skeptical.

"Are you sure that you are real? Cause this all just seems like… so much. I feel like I am in one of the old legends that I was taught about where Heroes came and did incredible things! They all were said to treat it as nothing! No matter what act of kindness or impossible feat. I must be going mad!" Helaina said while pulling her hands down her face, but I placed a hand on her shoulder.

"It is a lot to take in at first, but you will get used to it; come on. We have a lot more exploring to do," I said, but I walked over to the flower and said my goodbyes to them before leaving.

I was still amazed that they were able to survive without natural light. Instead, the glow of the fungus seemed to be more than enough.

"I will try to keep up with you, but I also don't know why you want to help me?" Helaina asked as I turned back to her and Thanos.

Tigra had already gone ahead, and I could see that she had already laid down some of the OpsBees, and multiple routes were starting to light up.

"I won't lie to you; I hope to take you and your sisters into my hive as my Royal Subjects. This will not only put you all under my protection, but it will also bolster my hives numbers. I do want to help, but this is also going to be stopping a huge war that doesn't need to happen. So, I plan on helping you and your sisters, but I will ask for your allegiance in return," I explained as Thanos paced, itching to get moving.

Helaina was silent for a moment, but nothing more, and then she nodded to me and spoke.

"I think that is a good idea, and I think that all my sisters would agree. I don't know of any of the other twenty-four queens that would actually want this war that was killed," Helaina told me and walked up beside me to join me, but I shook my head.

"I don't think that all your other sisters that survived will have the same opinion as you do, but I hope we can show them a better way. Now, let's get going before my cat wears a hole in the floor," I explained to Helaina, and she gave me a thoughtful nod.

Now it was time to go find this missing God of the Meccat, Rai Cait! Or that was the plan.
