Epic of Bee-Chapter 207 Save The Queen Protocol

I was left with no choice; I had to go and deal with this and try to stop them from taking us in right away. I needed to convince the Sky Folk that the Tellarider would become a problem for everyone and that Trent couldn't be left alone.

"Riza, Leah, Joni, Beelzi, Pelleta, my wives, and Gamble will be coming with me, along with four Rock Trolls. We have to find a way to get them to help us, or the world is going to be in trouble," I said, and everyone gathered with me, and we headed to the Beam Room.

Tok was waiting as our silent group walked to the center of the room, where four Rock Trolls, one of the Fen, were waiting.

"I don't like this, they come every year and steal all our booze, but last year they tried to fight us because we drank it all before they could. I don't think that the Sky Folk will listen to you, or if they do, it will only be to their liking," Fen rumbled.

He was looking more enormous and now completely black and covered in golden hexes. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

"Do you have a better idea?" I asked Fen, but he shook his head.

"No, but I just wanted to let you know what I thought so you can be prepared for the kind of people that you will be dealing with. They are unreasonable idiots with heads thicker than mine," Fen said, and then nodded, then looked forward.

I nodded back and thanked him but then looked back to see the rest of my people. All of them looked nervous, and I could hardly blame them, but this is where I needed to come in.

"We will make it through this, and then we will get the Tellarider and Trent. I will do my very best, but I can't promise that this will end well for us. No matter what, do not try to fight them; if they need to take us in for questioning, we don't fight. This is not a fight we can win, and we had to be smart about this. Believe in me, and I will do my best," I said to everyone, and I put my heart into my words and enforced them with my conviction, and I could feel my people's strength starting to rise.

"Beam Link has been established, and you are ready for direct transfer. Be careful, these coordinates are looked on to the central chamber of the Palace carrier, and that is the Grand Council Room," Tok called over to me.

"Alright, everyone, remember what I told you, and we will get through this together. Tok, Bee-am us up!" I called, but I really wished I had said more.

I wished that I would have told the girls that I loved them and not give up hope; I would fight my way back to them. It was going to be a long time before I saw any of them or the people on this ship, but how could I have known?

Instantly I was standing in the middle of a room surrounded by chairs, but my nerves went stiff the second I realized that I was standing alone. Everyone that should have appeared with me was nowhere in sight.

"Ashia, Rouge Queen of the People, or so you are called; Do you know why you have been called here today in front of the Sky Council?" Asked a thin and greasy-looking man with oily skin and no hair, but he was not one of the twelve people seated staring down at me.

"What is the meaning of this? What have you done with my people? You lied and tricked me, and I will assume that you have captured my people; why?" I asked, trying to hold my brimming anger in check.

"You are not in a position to ask any questions; we will be the ones to do that! You have been Accused of brainwashing tribes of people into following you using your treacherous Nectar! I have it on good authority that you are the cause of this Tellarider, and you are trying to take us there to be brainwashed by it!" The speaker accused, and the gathered nodded their heads.

I was stunned; what was going on?

'I think that Trent has done something to affect some of the council already. I am sorry, Ashia, but the system will not allow you to be captured. I don't know where you will be taken, but it will be far away from here,' Hilda said in my head, and my mind raced.

I couldn't just leave everyone to this, and I was not going to let them destroy what I had worked so hard to build! I pulled open my menu of skills and activated my transformation, but I got a restriction warning.

'There are weapons trained on you from every angle, and the Queen System will not allow you to put yourself in danger. The moment they try to take you, Save The Queen Protocol will activate, and you will send out a charged wave of Royal Nectar, and it will remove any Lichtar from the people in the room. That is the best I can do for you; everyone else will be fine, and they will be able to explain themselves to the magistrate,' Hilda explained, but I was still burning inside from this.

I would remember this, and the Sky Folk will mark this in the calendars in the future; I would make sure of it. I would be back to take my people, but I would also be back to make some severe changes to the Sky Realm.

My eyes were burning as I thought about the girls, and I heard the room gasp, and I opened my eyes. Blue and gold light radiated off me in visible waves, and I looked around at the council.

"Today, you have betrayed my people and me. The trust between the Sky Folk and I is now broken. I have been forced into this position, but I will never forget what you people have done. I am Ashia, QUEEN of the people, and Harbinger of the Way; my path is not here."

"Get her!" The speaker cried, but it was to late.

[Warning!]: You are in critical danger!

[Save The Queen Protocol]: Activated!

The colors around me pulled inward as everything slowed down, taking me with them. The last thing I saw was the golden wave that blasted out from me, and then I was gone.
