The Queen scuttled along the tunnel, fully grown and eleven feet tall, a beautiful, terrifying creature. She halted in front of her den, mask over her face, her arms at her side. With a hiss she turned, agitated, her wings buzzing on her back.

"SMALLWING!!", she cried, shrill and loud.

How could she have forgotten? She needed to keep tabs on the various other groups of these caves, she'd told herself as such at the meeting with Tahi-shei... speaking of, she needed to send a message to him. Urgently.

Her plague bombs were very nearly ready.

"A honey comb should do," she hissed to herself, "Air-tight and won't break except by force, which a through should theoretically provide..."

She tapped claw-tipped chitin fingers together, pacing back and forth, "Then, when the bacteria is released, it'll burst forth upon Mother's soldiers and cause aneurysms and internal hemorrhaging. Perfect!!"

Her counter plague that she'd infect those on their side would render the bacterium completely useless. It was the perfect plan!!

The Queen scuttled forward and scooped Marshmallow up, crawling into her den and laying down on top of some furs.

"Hello dearie," she cooed softly, removing her mask and clacking sharp mandibles together, "I have a little task for you. Well, two. Your first is to deliver a message to Tahi-shei, he should be in Pegasus. He's a deer with brown fur, antlers, and a crown atop his head."

Arwen blinked slowly and smiled, her face contorting into a terrifying grin, "Tell him that my plague is ready. I only need to test it and then it'll be ready to unleash upon the world."

She giggled to herself and sighed, "Once that is done I need you to fly to Canis, Draco, Cetus, and Orion. You, my small friend, will be my spy. You'll spy on the groups that inhabit those caves and report back to me."
