He lifted one of his legs and gave me a salute, and flew off. I  then used [Hive Link] to connect with him. My vision suddenly went totally black and then just as quickly snapped back. However, this time, I was seeing out of his eyes.

The hideout was split into 2 parts. First, there was the outside, which looked like a campsite. There was a huge fire pit in the centre,  Surrounded by makeshift log benches. Away from the benches, there were some makeshift tents made out of some type of animal skin. The camp was scattered with wooden crates and barrels, And there was some type of game animal hanging from a metal rack. The second part was a cave that led down into the ground. It must be important, judging by the large number of people coming in and out of it.

I saw 2 people come walking out of the cave. One of them was a regular-sized man with a short sword on his hip and messy brown hair. The other was a very large, well-built man with a large black beard. The man walked around with an air of confidence Like he owned the place. Yep, no doubt in my mind that he was the boss.

He gave another salute and flew down towards the man. He wove in between other humans and then attached himself to the boss's expensive-looking clothing. The perks of being so small are that people barely notice you.

“Hey, errr…. Boss.” The brown-haired man said

“What!? Spit it out, Andrew.”

Andrew instantly stood at attention.

“Wo… would you mind If me and a few of the guys go out and look for Ali and her team. They should be back by now. I'm Jus worried, is all?”

“Who cares!?” the boss yelled. He walked up to one of his underlings and Swiped a bottle of drink from one of his hands. The underling sighed and went off  to get another”

 “They probably fucked off into Doonvatel to get drunk or something.”

“Yeah, bu-“

“Look.” He said. Putting his big meaty fingers on his shoulder.

 “Ali is pretty capable and can look after herself. They probably strayed a bit too far and decided to camp out for the night. We will probably see them in the morning.” He took a swig from the drink he stole.

Andrew still had a worried look on his face that hadn’t gone unnoticed.

“Andrew, you need to remember Ali, is my second in command. She is the toughest woman I know. Learn to relax.”

“It’s Just that I really want to tell her something.”

“Oh, and what’s that,” He said with a mischievous grin. His boss slowly crept up to him

Andrew slowly started backing away. “Its… jus…I was….. planning  to” He kept backing away until he nearly tripped on a branch, Causing a small wooden box to fall from his pocket. He quickly scrambled to pick it up, but the boss was faster.

“What do we ‘ave ’ere Then, Andrew,” He said mischievous tone.  The boss opened it to reveal a silver ring with ornate designs on it. Everyone in the camp looked at Andrew in silence for a few seconds Before bursting into laughter.  

Andrew tried to hide his face, but that was next to near impossible.

“Alright, Lads, that’s enough. If we laugh, anymore, Andrew might die of embarrassment,” The boss said. The camp slowly started to quiet down, but you would still hear small chuckles here and there.

“Ok, I see why you are motivated, But I’m still not letting you go. However, if Ali ain’t here by tomorrow morning, You and a few boys can go look for her. Now go get some shut-eye.”

“Yes! Boss!” He yelled with a stupid grin and instantly bolted into one of the tents.

We flew off the boss's body and towards the cave. That was interesting maybe I could use this. And that girl's name is Ali. Not like it matters, but it's good to know. We flew into the cave to investigate more about the hideout.

I looked at him and then had a brain wave. I quickly pulled up the description for royal fly.

Royal Fly

Whilst almost identical in appearance to a regular housefly. Internally they are completely different. Royal Flies possess both impressive speed and agility compared to regular flies. Additionally, Royal flies also boast a large amount of intelligence. Royal flies work as an extension of their queen and, as such, will be able to share certain abilities that she has. Royal flies can only exist inside the Queen's living hive and will reproduce automatically.

Gestation: 10 per 1/hr

Resources: 100

I watched as a small amount of green liquid started to drip from his mandibles.

I thought back to the fight, and he was right. How could I have been so stupid.
