Chrysalis

Chapter 31

The trail has been detected!

It looks the members of my colony have been to this lake after all! This is incredible news, I could possibly just wait here next to the lake for them to show up and follow them back to the nest!

Staying close to the lake I tip tap my antennae on the ground and follow the trail away from the water. It absolutely seems like a solid trail has been lain down here. The more often ants use a particular path the more they will reinforce the trail with pheromones, making the trail more and more solid.

I don’t think this path this path has been in particularly heavy use but members of the colony have certainly been here a few times.

I retreat back to the safety of the lake and can’t resist a small dance of happiness.

Nearby monsters are looking at me funny out of the corner of their eyes. It probably isn’t very often they are treated to some amateur ant freestyle tap.

My new family is with reach!

After being on my own in this Dungeon for days on end it’ll feel so nice just to see another entity that doesn’t want to eat me!

I’ll get to see my Mother in another world, the Queen. I wonder how big she is?

I really didn’t get to see my mother much back on earth, most of the time I’d been on my own. Hopefully this time I’ll be able to help out a bit more and we can work together!

Gah! I’m too excited!

Need to chill, need to calm down.

It’s important I don’t forget where I am, this environment is incredibly dangerous. If I run about whilst this distracted I’ll just get myself killed.

I scout around for a few minutes until I find a nice nest site and dig myself my now patented L chamber and close over the top.

Ensconced in total darkness I once again begin the exhausting process of training my Mana Manipulation.
