A deep buzz resounded in the valley, trees pulsating with a strange turquoise light. As if crawling throuought this cavern.
The buzz grew louder as the silhouette of a small flying creature, the same size as a tennis ball, bolted in between the trees.
The queen was rushed, as her originating hive tried to kill her in by order of the existing queen, common practice for hives, as multiple queens would diminish overall power to the original queen.
Driven by instinct, she flew out of the large canopy with blistering speed. The gen three warriors had a hard time keeping up.
Sadly, it seems this queen will succumb to these warriors.
As her speed came to a stop, the newly hatched queen struggled to keep ahead, even though superior in speed, she lacked good stamina.
As if accepting her death, the queen stopped flying and swandived into a freefall. The canopy causing small gashes on he unhardened carapace.
The warriors had already caught up with her when a large shadow oversaw them, and as if by fate, a fearsome, pest-eating beast appeared out of the blue.
The oversized bird with claws as sharp as a sacrificial knife, hurriedly grabbed at the warriors, the queen, barely making it into the middle layer of the canopy, felt her fears lessen.
As she slowly settled in between two, large boulders, she carefully made the hive, as her ancests had, but, after centuries of dungeon mama, their species adapted to become better in every way, stronger, smarter, tougher.
As she skillfully assembled a small, hexacomb structure, she played her first generation.
The feeling was new, exciting even, she felt as if she had full control of the new generations body plan!
As she expanded the reach of her capabilities, she started to instictually consider the options.
The goal,
''Endurance'
It appears the queen want something able to endure in even the toughest of conditions. Be it the heat the cold, or even without wings, she wanted them to be able to survive, so they wouldn't have to go through what she went through.
As her intuition drove her to different options, the gen took a similar body plan to hers, but while her mother went with the quantity, she not wanting to resemble anything like her, decided for quality.
It appears even though young, this queen is quite petty.
'No'
Her main approach was efficiency, as she needed a substantial about of bee power to defend her hive and the future larva, she decided to go with an effective digestive system, and a permanent use stinger, the ones 'the other queen' had done was wasteful.
In her opinion, would she want to be a pawn, sacrificed to the sweet nectar god?
As the veins and book lungs cane to form the respatory system, she assembled her new children's layout.

Out of its cocoon it went, without waste, it basked near a concentrated mana light. Its instics drove it, as it rested in the light, its carapace hardened, it would take a while for it to harden, but that was not the problem.
Instinct told it that there would be family to greet it, it was so, empty.
Where is everyone?
Is the hive under attack?
It readied its body, quickly adjusting and flexing its body, it was an unusual instinct, it didn't blend well with the others, as if eager ly shoved there.
it approached its fellow hive mates, there they sat frozen.
it poked them a little, were they un-alived?
It didn't seem like it as they tossed and turned.
What was the problem, it needed to contributed to the hive, his entire purpose was the hive.
It felt uncomfortable, at the moment it felt like it was a gnawing, inside of it.
Maybe,
It consumed the sweet fluid inside of the hexacomb structure, it was as if it it been revitalized.
Where these small its feeling the same thing as well?
it took up some of the remaining liquid and stored it in its social stomach, and slowly fed its fellow hivemates.
Without their racket, it all seemed well, as its carapace was hardened after an amount of time, unknown to it.
There was bad news though, they ran out of the sustanence, so it needed to acquire some before they caused a racket and disturbed the hive.
It had already forgotten that its hive members were away, so it just assumed they were in the hive with them.
It looked at the combs, they seemed to longing for something.
It started to look for the nearest place to feed its intuition. it carefully exciter the hive.
Uderneath the hive was a small, many petaled white flower. As it slowly descended, it made quick note on the other beings present, the smaller creatures were eating ITS FOOD, THE HIVES FOOD!
It instantaneously got ready to battle them, flying with all its mite, it rammed into the long, squishy creature.
The creature not expecting the attack, quickly tried to flop away, but it had already been too late, as it was rammed, the bean like creature had a look of unfairness on its nonexistent face.

[Defeated Cappilis Fatus, +Exp]
[You levelled up, Lv.2 has been aquired]
[Your skill, Carapace Usage Lv.1, has advanced to Lv.2]
The queen will be delighted, it subconscious was prideful of its actions. It was a true hive member.
As it filled up its stomach, it realized that it tasted bad, very bad, to be percice, it went way below its nonexistent standards. But something caught its eye.
[+1 Biomass]
[+1 Biomass]
[+1 Biomass, Capilis Fatus has been consumed]
It didn't trouble it, the hive had long since used this this before, or as far it it knew, it was always there.
As it returned back to the hive bringing only the best pollen. It realized it had been wrong.
Mother wasn't prpud, she was LIVID.
