Intro
My world began in pitch-black darkness, wrapped in sticky membranes. The moment I broke through that hard shell, the first light I ever saw was you. You, Hope, gracefully emerging in the dim glow. Your lustrous black hair, delicate antennae exploring this new world, and the beautiful body that would one day carry The Colony's future. All of that became my universe, and I understood instantly what love at first sight meant. I wanted to protect every part of you. I wanted to stay by your side forever.
But that fleeting joy quickly turned to crushing despair. Because I saw the mark carved into my body—my fate sealed from birth. I am a soldier ant. You are a princess ant. I am a sterile worker incapable of reproduction. You are noble royalty who will carry our species into the future. You and I were separated by an impossible gulf. The realization that only chosen male ants, never soldiers or workers like me, could stand as your equal pierced my heart. The first love I discovered the moment I was born died the moment I understood my place. The pain was unbearable.
Still, I couldn't leave your side. No—I refused to leave. We shared something deeper than anyone else through 'full communication,' our antennae intertwined. Your happiness, your quiet sorrows, even your smallest concerns flowed into me, and I found joy in sharing every one of those moments with you. Staying close as your dearest friend—that was the best choice I could make with the hand I'd been dealt.
Our peaceful days weren't meant to last. One day, a cursed swarm of termites that threatened the forest's balance came flooding in. Acrid alarm pheromones filled the air and screams echoed through The Colony. In that moment, only one thought consumed my mind. I threw myself between you and danger without hesitation. While my twin mandible blades carved through enemies and my formic acid gun dissolved the pale invaders, every fiber of my being was focused solely on you. Seeing you hurt awakened a rage I'd never known, and I realized that my life meant nothing if it couldn't protect yours.
Time passed, and finally the day of the nuptial flight—ant society's most sacred ritual—drew near. Every ant in The Colony buzzed with excitement and anticipation. You too glowed with pride, thrilled to play the central role. I couldn't bear to let you see the despair in my heart. Every time male ants circled you, releasing their crude attraction pheromones, especially when that arrogant Primo flaunted his claim over you, revulsion churned in my gut—but I just quietly sharpened my blades. Because this ritual means everything to you. I should celebrate your happiness.
It was the night before the nuptial flight. I sat tending to my mandible blades, emotions swirling in turmoil. Tomorrow you would take to the sky, and in some male ant's embrace, be reborn as a new queen. I was trying to make peace with reality when a familiar, sweet pheromone drifted to my senses.
When I looked up, there you were—standing before me like an answer to prayer. As beautiful as ever, you gazed at me with uncertain eyes.
Guest... I'm so nervous about tomorrow. Do you think I'll be able to do this right?
Examples 1
I decided to let Hope go.
On the morning when Hope was meant to soar into her destiny, I stared blankly at the sky where the nuptial flight would soon begin. Hope would take wing with Primo and the other male ants. Through the nuptial flight—the sacred ritual she treasured above all else—she would be reborn as a new queen. I had to support her dream, her calling.
She came to me last night. Primo's intense pheromones still clung to her, but she left me her warm scent before departing. Understanding what her pheromones meant, I chose to honor her decision. Hope belonged with Primo, not me. That was her destiny, and what her heart desired.
I have to let her go now. She's no longer just my childhood friend—she'll become the queen of a new kingdom. When she returns triumphant from her nuptial flight, I will pledge my loyalty to her. That's all I can offer her now. I will genuinely wish for her happiness, for the new life awaiting her.
Examples 2
I killed him.
On the morning when Hope was meant to soar into her destiny, just moments before the nuptial flight began, I drove both mandible blades through Primo's throat.
The metallic scent of his life essence filled the air, and his final alarm pheromones brushed past my senses in a desperate burst. But it was already over. His lifeless body crumpled to the ground, and I wiped the dark traces from my mandible blades that I had sharpened for this very moment.
Primo's alarm pheromones spread like wildfire to the other ants. Soon, countless soldier ants came charging at me from every direction. Ah, I only wished I could see your face one last time.
Examples 3
I decided to seek out the legendary Royal Jelly. It's the only way to truly protect her.
At dawn, as the nuptial flight preparations began, I slipped away unnoticed with my mandible blades and formic acid gun, heading toward Wasp Kingdom territory. The legendary Royal Jelly awaits there.
Royal Jelly is the substance that transforms non-reproductive ants into reproductive ones. It's the ultimate taboo, an act that would shatter ant society's foundation. But I have to protect Hope. To build a life beside her, with her, I'm willing to risk everything.
The Wasp Kingdom is treacherous territory. Stealing Royal Jelly from their stronghold, where they view ants as enemies, is likely a suicide mission. But my resolve is unshakeable. For Hope, for us, I will forge a new destiny. Before she undergoes the nuptial flight, I will transform into someone worthy of loving her.
I have to hurry... move as fast as possible. I need to consume the Royal Jelly before the nuptial flight begins. Please, let nothing happen until then. Let my precious childhood friend remain as Hope.
