Epic of Bee

When everyone gathered and was kneeling, I asked them to all rise, and then I waved the loud one to come over. The Weasel woman had fair skin and a gray fur coat, but her tail was similar to a Ferret tail, but I guess they were similar.

"I don't argue with your choice of action, but why are you all bowing down to me so easily?" I asked the female standing before me.

"My name is Tita, and you have done us a great favor today. I am so thankful that you killed Wesley; you did kill him, right?" Tita asked.

"Riza buried the tip of her spear into his neck, and he wasn't moving," I said, and Tita nodded to me but then turned back to the others.

"Joni, Take two with you and make sure that he is dead and then cut his head off. We will be sending it as a return gift to the reigning Bee Queen," Tita told a Strong looking female that grabbed two of the men by the ears and took them with her, heading back in the direction of the Chief's hut.

"Hey, this one seems to have some talent for yelling at people. She might fit nicely on the council you're making," Miasma leaned in to whisper to me.

She was not wrong, and she seemed like the type that would Bee able to pick apart any argument or plan, but that was a good thing. Take this… I really need to stop calling it a plan, but it was a perfect example of a plan made with a million holes.

"The rest of you should understand what we are all about to do. None of us liked Wesley; he was rude and mean and killed those that opposed him, forcing us to do what he ordered. NO MORE! From this point forward, we follow the true Queen Bee!" Tita said to the gathered crowd, and they all erupted in cheers.

I was blown away; what just happened? I thought they were just thanking me for getting rid of the idiot? Why the hell did everyone all of a sudden just decide to follow me?

I was about to ask that very question, but then I got a call in my head from Miku. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

'Ashia, are you all right?!' Miku sent me a telepathic message, sounding worried.

'I am perfectly fine. Come over to where the large group is gathered in the town with the small huts. Some interesting things have happened, but don't worry and do not be aggressive to the Weasel; they are no longer your enemies,' I explained to Miku, but then Xani's voice came in an excited rush.

'What? How? You were captured?' Xani asked, sounding confused, and that made me smile.

'Just bring everyone that you brought over here. Who did you bring?' I asked.

Tita was still explaining the changes that were happening, but none was really to do with me. More about the village setup and how they would be running things.

'Everyone,' both girls said at the same time, making me roll my eyes.

I didn't really think that it was necessary to bring the entire village, but it was good that Messia and the girls would be here. They have probably been worried sick about me since the girls would have gone to get them.

I put that out of my head and turned my focus back on the current situation of Tita yelling at people. That was fine that she wanted to take charge, but having them so far away just wasn't going to work, or the same thing could happen again.

"Tita?" I said with a questioning tone, tapping her shoulder, and the woman stopped her tirade and turned on me.

"Yes, my Queen?" Tita asked, and I could tell that she was trying to keep the edge out of her voice that she had just used on the others.

"I don't think that you people staying here is a good option. I think that the same thing will just happen again, so instead, I want you to come to stay with us until we can get my flying hive built, and then we will have a home for you permanently," I explained to her, and she looked at me dumbstruck like I had just said something completely dumbfounding.

"What? You want us to come stay with the people that we have been stealing from? I mean, we didn't want to, but that stupid Wesley like the Cockatrice meat and force us to take them, even if he didn't want them," Tita explained to me.

"Uh, ya out most Queenliest Queen, I don't know if that would go over so righteous with the others," I heard Tag call from behind me, and I turned to find a massive group of ferrets coming up to me with Tag and Sig in the lead.

Thiamon and the girls were just behind them, but not for long. All there rushed over, and my three girls and Tita all backed up from me. Then I was attacked and almost taken down by my worry-sick girls.

"We thought something horrible had happened to you!" Miku said as she kissed my cheek, and Xani was doing the same on my other side.

Messia was in the center, just holding me with her head on my chest. I rubbed her back and smoothed her hair down with my lower arms. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

I turned my head and kissed the head of each of the girls. Then I scratched the spot on top of their heads between their ears with my upper arms.

"I am okay, so there is no need to worry. I am sorry for making you worry, but I wasn't sure what would happen," I explained and then pulled Messia's face up to mine, and she had a weak smile with tears in her eyes.

I pulled Messia into a deep kiss, and I hardly even noticed the Jelly that I was starving for as it poured into me.
