Chrysalis
Chapter 177
Gradually my mind begins to resurface. It’s a strange feeling, seeing as I don’t actually get to sleep as an ant but rather going into the stasis like rest of torpor so I’m not actually used to properly blacking out like this.
The memory of what had taken place when I evolved still boils away in my mind. Gandalf? Is he actually down in the Dungeon somewhere?

[Go sleep on the surface or something! I can’t even see with all this fuzz in my eyes!]
[.... Tired]
[That’s the same thing as sleepy! Get the heck out of here you lump!]
I can sense an exasperated sigh over the mental link, as if I’m the one being unreasonable! Just who does this ape think he is? And why the heck is he so damn fluffy now!?
