A shading lizard! You didn’t find anything smaller?
Did leader complain?
He said you overdid yourself.
I don’t understand. Black’s antennae spread out in puzzlement. How is that bad, Red?
Green was the first to shine a light on the argument. That’s a compliment. She let known.
It is a...
Why is she not attacking us? The soldier asked.
She’s breaking ties so she won’t feel bad about killing me.
OH…
It was the truth, but I probably should have packaged it nicely in a great beetle's shining shell and served it with the tangy zest of a silkworm. That would have allowed the mood to...
The aged warrior watched me get on my feet, with her eyes. So not only had she become a real monster, but she could also see, now? Great! And her mandibles were back. A dangerous-looking pair with a blade so sharp it would gleam in the daylight; I had no doubt about that.
Are you alright? The...
We’ll need a distraction. Captain of the explorers put it to everyone’s attention.
The Giant stood up, stumbling. Is it time, already?
He was delirious. The blood loss was taking its toll on him. The nurse supported him up, but he kept shaking like a yellow leaf.
Captain— He shook his head...
Madhuri was happy to see me.
W-where are w-we going now? She chirped and fought through the pain that arose every time she beat her wings. She tolerated it until I reached her then slumped to the ground. Her wings were in bad shape.
All the rolling and crashing had done a number on them. Bella...
786th Soldiers P.O.V
Atop the tallest plant in the inner region, the world was quiet and serene. Gentle wind flowed there, keeping the misery and struggles of the farm away. 786th loved the quiet and the emptiness. It was her hiding spot, a place to escape from the farm, and its worries...
Green shuffled from one branch to another, scraping the tree bark with her mandibles without care. She wasn’t looking for food, or scouting the area for potential enemies, simply traveling. She was on an adventure to curb her boredom.
A few days ago her feet would have led her in the direction...
Bodies fell around me. Poison and acid mist had mixed to create a fog that spread with the wind. It was thin and harmless, but morbidly blinding. It interfered with both my sight and antennae.
The battlefield was a mess. No one knew what was happening. It was questionable whether we were...
The Outside was getting rowdy and very distracting; I liked it, the situation. The termites were ready to point their mandibles at the enemies. There was fear in the air, of not the hindering but motivational kind. It pulled the termites together. They were courageous, I’d give them that, but...
We were left stranded in the desert with no way forward. Nothing grew or lived there. There was no greenery, no trees, or even shade. You may think the last one was a boon in disguise, but in the desert, you yearn for shade, even if it hides the deadliest of predators known to you. The desert is...
I was fed, cared for, and healed. Star had brought more than just my team along for the journey. There were soldiers from the delegation, his adviser —whose role in the situation had become drastically important— and a healer.
She had a six-digit identity number that started with a four and...
The advanced sentry post towers around the 47th weren’t as tall as the ones around the 43rd city. They were barely as large as an average grass shoot, making them almost indistinguishable from far. While we build high and few, the termites seemed to find the solution to build small and many as a...
I was anxious.
Madhuri was pretty banged up. There didn’t seem to be anything broken, but blood continuously leaked from the claw wound. She shuddered like a leaf tormented by wind, about to break away from the branch. How could we let her separate from us?
Bella had to poison Madhuri to keep...
We waited for Madhuri’s mother to return. I genuinely hoped she would come. However, the longer we waited, the anxious I grew. It was difficult to ignore the voice in my head telling me to just be on the way, I had waited enough. Every time the voice rose I felt myself wavering. It was Greed...
Let’s land there.
I found it confusing that all the females I had met did things on their own terms. Just where were the normal ones who liked to follow and do as told? Perhaps it was their way of retaliation against the rule that only Royal males were allowed to lead a company. I was onto...
786 couldn’t concentrate on even being lazy.
Three days since the incident and the corpse piler’s death was still the most talked about topic on the farm. She grew flustered just thinking that she had compared the dazzling ant to a nymph’s sleek bottom.
What kind of an information broker was...
You better control your pheromones when in the hive. I don’t want you to end up with more holes than you already have. Barry said.
Very funny, It wasn’t; it was offensive.
Nah, maybe a few more holes will help you relax. Calm down. The bees know you are a friend. They wouldn’t be carrying you...
We were struggling to stay afloat.
Madhuri was still just a chick and the way she flew was nowhere near as graceful as her mother. She didn’t have the strength to clench her stomach while afloat, resulting in her behind end hanging below her wings. She couldn’t fly straight for the life of her...
Hey, buzz, you awake? Is he awake, Shri? I really can’t figure it out. Mind turning his face toward me? No? Well, keep to yourself then. Don’t come running to me if I don’t talk to you anymore!
The loud and obnoxious scent pulled me out of sleep. I was too tired to wake up, mind blank, and...
I remembered falling from the nest, the hisser rising straight up in eye bursting pain, and the chick that jumped after me. I don’t know what she was thinking. She was too bloody compassionate for her own good. Maybe she wanted to prove that she was different from her brothers.
Did she think...
