Epic of Bee

"Are you well enough to join me?" I asked Mordiraine and then explained my reasons to her. "I think that it would be very good to have you and your girls along. They will all be confused, so it will be best for them to see a familiar face."

Not that I needed to explain why I would want to have them with me, but it was more for the girls\' benefit. They still looked a bit confused, but not nearly as bad as they were.

p "Yes, I think that is an excellent idea, and I am sure the girls would like to get out. You all have been locked up for so long, and you should all come and finally meet your siblings. Also, I would prefer to be called Raine, if that is okay with you? I am no longer the leader, so I don\'t need the first part of my name; it was never mine," Raine said, and I nodded, but I was curious as to what she had meant.

"Yes, I have no problem with it, but would you mind if I asked about the name Mordi?" I asked Raine, and she nodded as she got out of bed.

"Yes, but I think we should walk to where the SugaBees are; I can explain on the way," Raine said, and I nodded with appreciation.

Here I was wanting to waste more time standing still, and Raine made a valid suggestion to get us moving to solve the problem that was just presented to me. This was starting to look like it might not be so bad if we can get everything sorted out.

"Yes, Tag and Sig, can you two lead the way?" I  asked, turning to my guards.

The girls had switched to go check on Leah, and I was more than okay with that. The men were looking a lot more refreshed now than they had this morning.

I Left the room with Serria\'s hand in mine, and I noticed something about Serria when I held her hand. She seemed to have far better control over her calming effect since her evolution.

"Mordi was the last Queen\'s name when she was born, and when she became the Queen, her name changed to Gwevnmordi. It has just been a tradition that we Queens have carried on, but I no longer need to have a long name, and I prefer my name," Raine said as she walked beside me.

Raine\'s daughters were all following behind us, so I couldn\'t really see them, but I didn\'t want to lose them before I got a chance to scan them. I had missed enough things in the past to know that it was not something that I wanted to repeat.

Tag, and Sig, lead us back out to the Honey Gate, and after we went through, there was nothing but a long hall filled with doors on both sides all the way down. I looked at the doors as we walked, but I couldn\'t see into any of them.

"That is where all the Predator women are," Serria said, and then Raine looked over at us with a shocked look on her face.

"P-Predat-tors?!" Raine asked with a stutter and a scared look on her face.

"No, you do not need to worry; all of these women have been cured of the Lichtar. They are now in recovery as much as they can be. Many of them won\'t wake up for a long time, and others might never wake up. I know that the Predators have been a menace to us all, and I am no exception, but we all know that they were being controlled," I explained to Raine as we got to the end of the hall where there was another door, but loud noises were coming from the other side of it.

"That is very good to hear. I didn\'t know very much about them until the Tellarider came because I think they were the ones that planted it in the Geo-Sect. I hope that you can put a stop to all of these things, or I think that things are going to start getting out of control," Raine said, but then the sounds of hundreds and hundreds of people talking drowned out any form of talking once the door opened.

Inside was a sea of white, black, yellow, and dark brown, but the people were not panicking. I had expected there to be people screaming and crying, but that wasn\'t the case.

Instead, it was just the sounds of fifteen hundred people all crammed into one room, having a conversation. The problem was that everyone was trying to talk over each other, and I could feel a lot of excitement and happiness coming from everyone.

"MOST ORDEROUS OF PEOPLE! PLEASE QUIET DOWN!" Tag bellowed, and everyone went quiet.

That was nice, but now everyone was trying to look at us, but It was hard for everyone on the other side of the room. I motioned for Tag and Sig to keep moving forward, and Serria, Raine, and her daughters followed me to the center of the room, where there was a raised platform about a meter high with steps and about three meters square.

I wasn\'t really sure what I was going to say, but I would have to rely on Raine to do some of the explainings. Most of this wasn\'t going to make any sense to most of the people, but this was more about introducing myself as their new Queen.

"I can talk first and explain to everyone what happened, and then I can introduce you as the new Queen. If that is okay with you," Raine asked as she moved closer to me just before we reached the podium, and I smiled warmly.

"Yes, you read my mind. I think that it is best if you do the explaining in a way that the people will understand. It will be better than hearing it from the new Queen, and I think that will be more accepting if you explain your decision," I said, and Tag and Sig took places on either side of the stairs.
