Spindle Bee

The monster, track me. He found where I eat earthworms for breakfast. So how was he able to find me?

Let's evaluate what happened after I ran away, four months ago... Nothing notable happens, !!

Wait! I remember. The worms trapped me when I was hunting them the first time. They even open some of my wounds. I can remember that week. I hunted them seriously because I was afraid that some would mutate after they tasted my blood.

Hmm! Furthermore, I kill the one that has my blood on it and eat it immediately, if I leave it will have changed to a ferocious earthworm. So, I clean up the mess.

Perhaps it can smell my blood from a mile away. That is the only logical explanation. Because I did not get any more injury after that.

So it can track me wherever I am injured. What a terrifying ability. I must make sure never get injured again. If by chance, I was injured I must leave the place and never come back again.

"I need to find a community of birds to join"

...., …

It took three days before I'm back on my claws again. I exhaust myself through the use of my ability when I face the monstrosity.

Oh!! I did not explain my ability yet? Don't worry, I will. As you can see from the last encounter, my mind focuses on survival only. But today you get to witness the great me.

Plans for now.

1- Visit the spindle bees

2- Ask for direction toward any group of wild chickens.

3- Pay them

5- Find the chicken flock

.......

The bees travel far and wide searching for flowers. On top of that, they are numerous, so it's not exaggerated if they have been to every nook and cranny of this forest.

There they are. The drones are flying around surveying for any potential attackers. Seen a defenseless chicken with fluffy down, that can be easily pierced by their spindle, they ignore me.

That for the better. I stud looking at one of the tallest trees in the forest. At the very top of one of the branches lay their cocoons.

Chad chwe

I chirped at the ones that were close to me. Hoping there might be intelligent bees among them to comprehend my chirping. But they all ignore it.

As expected. I'm just going to stay around here until I see one of the Queens. I look for any potential predators. Within a thousand claws of the surrounding.

A bear is currently sleeping inside a cave. This can be potentially dangerous. Better leave it alone. It turns out any potential predators are far away from the location of the bees.

I relax a bit. It becomes my routine to chirp at the bees, every day. Now mark the thirteen-day that I was in the territory of the bees. Even though they are absolute overlords of this place none attack me. But I saw them attacking different creatures. Maybe, I'm not a potential threat to them, that is the reason.

I have a revelation. Why not put my will and intentions into my chirping. Perhaps they can understand even if they do not speak the chicken language.

Chwe chwe chwe.

"I want to speak to your Queens"

I put my will and thought into those three chippings. I look around but nothing changes. The bees are still moving in their regular manner.

Bzuu bzuuu

"Took you, long enough"

I understood what one bee just said. I know the bee it's the first one that checks me when I arrive here. It always hovers around me.

Chwe chwe

"You are intelligent?"

Bzuu bzuu

"My drone will skewer you if they hear you disrespect their queen... Now lost chick. Where is your hen mother?"

Chwe

"You know my mother"??? Ask elated!

Bzuu

" No. But I know a Chicken Mother will not leave her chick in down feather unattended"

Chwe

"I'm training alone! It is to be great Cuck"

Bzuu

"Okay. What do you want?. If you are here for the honey to heal your wounds. We are not given out unless you serve us"

Chwe

"I'm not here for them. I want to know how I can go back to flock."

Bzuu

We don't know"

Chwe

"I will pay you"

Bzuu

"With what?"

Chwe

"My ability"

Buzz

"We don't want it"

Chwe

"You don't know what it does!"

Bzuu

"We don't care"

Chwe

"Okay. I will have the ability to bear."

Bzuu

"Not our problem. For all, we care you will be it lunch"

Chwe

"Don't regret it, and don't hunt me.

Bzuu

"Who hunts a defenseless baby chicken".

Chwe

"I will be by the lake for the next three days. If you want anything, come. After that, I'm leaving. Before that, I will use my special ability on the bear."

Bzuu

"Since the bear is our attendant. It will be good to have you serve as lunch".

I walk away. The bear may do what you want because of the honey you give him but what if he is strong to take it by force.

Chapter eight

....

"Drone no4567"

"Yes Queen"

"Follow that chick, and monitor everything he does. Don't let it see you. I will be sending Drone no4568 to collect data".

Yes Queen"

....

Yes, this is where the bear drinks water. I know, that cunning woman will be watching. So I need to make it look like I'm using an ability that is very hard.

Hehe

I waited till sunrise, by the time the beasts are not around.

I stood erect, on my only leg. Head up facing the risen sun. I open my wings as if flying before chirping three times. Then close my eyes. I opened them a few seconds later. Then I prostrated to the sun, my beak touched the surface of the water.

I slop down on the water as if exhausted.

Wash my body a bit, before leaving the lake. Praying my plan succeeds.

...

Bzuuuuuu bzuuuuuuu bzuuuuuuu bzuuuuuuu bzuuuuuuu bzuuuuuuu!!

Roar!!

Boom boom boom!!

'I'm heartless right?' I thought to my self!

'How many Drones will die? This is my path for now. I do not have personal strength to fight. So I make others do it for me.'

'Back in the forest when clashing with a fox. I did the same thing. Drags it to another beast to do the job.' That will be a tale for another day.

The bees aren't my enemy, but I just have to practically demonstrate my worth before having any business interaction.

Seven hours later

Chwe "How long are you going to watch me? Go tell your Queen. I'm leaving tomorrow".

Bzuu "I'm here"

Chwe "My condolences Your Majesty"

Bzuu "I should have your head"

Chwe "Yes! You should. But I will only mourn you more after that."

Bzuu "You are going to kill us? Little chicken" she said sarcastically!

I look at her. She is the same size as my head, yet she is calling me little!

Chwe "Not really. If I die by your hands. You all, will be destroyed here. But that, not something I will like talking about. Please will you take me to any intelligent flock of chicken.?"

Bzuu "No!!!"

Chwe I will pay"

Bzuu "with your life?"

A chuckle escapes my beak

Chwe "if I tell you something you don't want to hear. You will probably, send me away immediately with no single wound on my body"!

Bzuu "Okay!!! With a flick of my fingers, I can transmit messages to hundreds of miles. And in five-second, the demon will be here."

Gulp...tum…tum

Chwe "I think we start on the wrong foot. I will pay you by casting my ability on any source of water. So that you drink to have an evolution. While you will only send me to my flock. It's a win-win situation."

Bzuh "I have a better idea. You will be my slave. Grab him to Hive"!

Chwe "I can call the demon too"

The drones, stop on their track

Bzuu So?"

Chwe "We don't want this to happen but, we all know if the demon gets here only slaughter will occur. You, that interact with me and all the beast in the vicinity. You may think some of you will slip away and run.

Believe me, when I say this none of your Hundred of thousand members in the colony will survive. Even the eggs and pupae will be smashed and destroyed.

Chwe "I saw it first hand, what it can do. He even pierced into the womb of female crocs to destroy any fetus growing".

Chwe "I don't want that to happen. I'm weak compared to all this beast. And because of that, I will surely do whatever I could do to survive."

She ponders my words before she says

Bzuu "I, The Twenty-eighth Queen of platinum Bees, giving you an invitation to you. Chick of Doom".

What with the invitation... I might as well accept.

...…

The bees are smarter than they let others believe. Their main colony is not in the tree that I saw but in a secret underground world. It's a swamp, with tall trees and vegetation. There are so many flowers here everywhere. Workers are busy tending to them.

The most interesting part is that this colony is not mindless but a civilization. There are houses and roads in midair and stops and junctions. Not with concrete, but color has dyed the air as a road.

I am currently sitting in a giant cocoon that can be carried by a giant bee. The bee is as big as the snake beast I met before. It's not the only one, there are a lot of them flying carrying something.

Chwe "Your Majesty. This is beyond my comprehension. Your number is in millions here".

Bzuu "Above three hundred million"

Chwe "Wow that's even more amazing. Why are you not conquering the forest".

Bzuu "It's too dangerous. Their are things that are similar to that demon and more".

Gulp….

Bzuu "Tell me. if the demon appeared, will everyone here die??

Chwe" I don't want to talk about it"

Bzuu "Okay"
