Note: I’m making some warriors and soldiers male but my bees have equality in their jobs...
Talane the mighty soldier is searching for her god so he can help their colony in its hour of need. But she’s shot out of the sky by a rock smashing into her thorax. She drags herself along the ground...
Talane: no, no I need to keep going! Need to find the keeper!
The attacker is a fireant General named cyclus.
Cyclus: there is no meaning in this world foolish bee! There is no keeper!! All that matters is our queen, her flesh, her desire.
Talane: he’s saved us before, he grows flowers, when there’s a drought he gives us blessings of nectar so that we might survive!
Cyclus: hah! Fool, you still refuse to accept that you and your kin exist only to sate our queen’s desire?
Talane: I could, but that would be a lie.
He draws his mantis claw sword and prepares to attack his fallen foe,
Cyclus: May you feed the queen’s will in your death.
However he’s distracted by the ground becoming radiant, he sees above him something that he convinced himself didn’t exist for since he was a larvae.
The keeper arrived, talane’s prayers were answered.
Cyclus: it’s- it’s not possible!!
The keeper picked up talane in his hands, he wept.
Keeper: no, no, not talane! She was a beacon of light for all her kin.
He stared down at cyclus, stomping him dead.
Keeper: there will be retribution for this, I will uproot the fire ant colony with my own hands!!!!!
As the bees battled the ants, thunderous steps were heard. To the bees this was salvation; to the ants, these were the drums of hell...
