Chapter 33: Bee Challenged!
While Belissar attempted to comprehend the meaning of people giving him stuff, the bear people headed on back to their camp. The bee scouts kept an eye on them as they reorganized, with the children and young parents returning to the camp and a few other folk cycling in. As such, Belissar caught wind of them heading back towards the Tower when he turned his attention back their way.
Belissar kept watch in silence. He wanted to know more about these people and what more they might want from him. If he could at least figure that out, he would be able to understand their actions to a degree. He had dealt with plenty of ulterior motives, it was those he was unaware of that concerned him.
He, perhaps, had not yet accepted how other people would now view him.
So, he watched through the eyes of his scouts as Chief Rohsuak and the man who first scouted his dungeon led another group up to the gates of the Tower and stepped inside. He signaled to his Flower Meadow queens to keep an eye out but not to interfere for now.

Again, he saw a message from his Tower, again confirming that the Tower considered the bear people as intelligent beings that could acknowledge the God of Bees. The bear folk then split into two groups. Chief Rohsuak gathered a group in front of the Shrine of Bees, while the man led four armed individuals that stood off to the side and watched. Chief Rohsuak made a small smile as she walked up to the statue.
“Bees, huh? In all my years and travels, I have never seen a shrine dedicated to bees. A most curious Sacred Den indeed.”
She then turned around and faced her group.
