This pitch, this slight buzzing… The Goddess of Bees herself appeared out of thin air and was hovering near me and Precio-Us. She still used the appearance of an oversized Earth bee scaled up to the size of a human.
All around me, the Precio-Us bees stood up at once. At the same time, the air around us rippled from the energy they were concentrating on. All these bees turned their eyes to the Goddess of Bees, but their state of deep focus didn't even let them scowl at her.
Which I knew Precio-Us really wanted to do. I felt their sharp alarm, which they had to suppress because they couldn't afford to be distracted.
'What are you doing here?!' I asked, moving my projection between the Goddess of Bees and the Precio-Us bee nearest to her.
