Insect Princess

Spears and stingers surrounded Luke. He complied even though he could wipe them out in seconds. After all, meeting the Insect Princess would satisfy Quest 5. He could get 40 RP if the encounter went well.

"Lower your weapons," he said "I will go with you to see the Princess."

The bee commander lowered his spear and took the lead. Luke was marched away from the market, past the hills, across a muddy pond, and toward a large cave covered in moss.

Luke was escorted into the cavern, passing termite and wasp guards until the tunnel opened into an underground chamber adorned with silk and leaves to imitate royalty. An anonymous insect sat on the shadowed throne, surrounded by several attendants. The figure was the center of attention in the cave, and the very person Luke had come to see.

"My Princess," the bee commander greeted and bowed his head. Then he presented Luke to her.
