From Queen to...[Bonus chapter]

The scouts had finally returned with their information. Kalona now knew exactly where to go to find the Ant race Queen.

Hence, Kalona made her way alone on her quest. Others wanted to come along, but Kalona denied them, saying it was unnecessary. Her influence on monsters made them listen.

Kalona made her way east, past the nearby mountain. When she entered  Ant race territory, it was quiet. There were still birds and bugs, but little animals or beasts. The woods, groves, and meadows were still. Small dirt mounds with holes in them could be seen in the environment. Recognizable as holes leading to the underground colony.

Kalona had a specific hole marked out though. The scouts found that this hole has the highest possibility of being the most direct path to the Queen. With the least amount of twists and turns. Not all the scouts made it back. So they must have entered the holes to scout deeper inside.
