Chapter 69: Bee-hold the Sacred Den!
Belissar did a little bit more work on the Flower Meadow beehouse while he waited and soon, the bear people returned. Juosiutik rushed into the Tower…at least, Belissar thought it was her. She had so many bags hanging off of her that he could barely see her save for her head. After that came Chief Rohsuak and a couple of other bear people Belissar didn’t recognize, each carrying a bag of some sort. Belissar made his way over, the bees following him as usual.
Juosiutik’s eyes lit up as she saw him approach.
“There you are! Let’s get started!”
Chief Rohsuak chuckled and shook her head.
“Juosiutik, I know you’re excited, but perhaps we should let Leijaliuk go first?”
Juosiutik frowned and sat down silently, not taking her eyes off of Belissar. Chief Rohsuak shook her head and then stepped forward with another one of the bear people, who seemed to be a middle-aged woman.
“Hello, Sacred Den Master. May I introduce Leijaliuk?”
Leijaliuk bowed her head.
“I am honored to meet you, Sacred Den Master.”
