Chapter 183: A Fair-Bee Odd Occurance
Noigakkuq sheepishly stepped out of the tree line as her guide bee led her into a small clearing. Metsaitti had gathered the karnuq there. A brightly colored swarm of worker bees spread out, with at least one bee hovering around each of the karnuq, while squads of soldier bees formed up overhead. One of the soldier queens conferred with Metsaitti, relaying the bee army’s own experiences in this confusing room. He paused his conversation as he caught sight of her.
“Ah, there you are, Noigakkuq. Come, I was just speaking to the Firstborn here on how we should approach this room. We could use your insight.”
Noigakkuq’s face fell.
“Do you really?”
Metsaitti frowned.
“Look at me, Noigakkuq.”
He waited until she lifted her head before continuing.
“Tyhgak should have said it, but in case he forgot to mention it, you and I are the only ones to have received combat blessings from the God of Bees. Mine, however, is a hybrid blessing with the God of Fire, and I spent years with the blessing of the lancer before that. You have a pure and unique blessing from the God of Bees and all of your training and techniques stem from it. We’re exploring new territory here, so your skills are the only lead we have for how humanoids can learn bee style combat.”
He gave her a stern look.
