POBee 160.2 - Beero's Home
Belissar fidgeted about as the First of the Fifth concluded her report. He may have…missed a few details here and there, but the general picture was that things were going well. The bees had reached begun foraging from all of the plants in the dungeon and were starting to produce several new types of honey as a result, while the gardeners believed some new Cross-Pollination results were just beyond the horizon. The one room that needed anything was the Fairy Grove and its lack of bees, but Belissar had already arranged to some bees to move there.
His bees could and would grow well with the rooms and flowers they already had, it seemed. If he wished to promote their growth even further, he would need to introduce new elements into the equation.
It was then that Niobee called for him.
“King! Look!”
Belissar spun his head as he shifted to his Tower sight and zoomed towards the Memorial. He found a glowing ball of light so bright he wouldn’t have been able to look at it directly with his own eyes. Niobee and the wounded soldiers gathered around it. Beero was nowhere in sight.
“Niobee?! What’s happening?! Where’s Beero?!”
“There!”
Belissar’s eyes widened. Beero was…in the middle of that light? But just as fear began to clutch at his heart, the light exploded outward. Thanks to his Tower sight, Belissar was the first to see what had occurred.
A bee stood where the light had been, her body still glowing with a gradually fading light. She was a bit smaller than the normal soldiers, though still much larger than the workers. Her chitin was sleek and seemed to shine in the light…until the light completely faded and revealed that small pulses of light occasionally came from the chitin itself. Her antennae had grown fuzzy with many smaller hairs branching off of it, much like a communer’s. Two pairs of shimmering wings extended from her back, colorful lights occasionally pulsing through them as well.
