Queens Personal Carriage

Kotori let Halo lead them through the woods to find the beehive she spoke of.  Alongside him was Splash the snow leopard and riding on top of the leopard was Fang, the little mongoose had his little paws around the bucket to keep it in place on top of splashes back.

Kotori glanced amongst the trees as they went.  Halo thought she knew where one was but might as well make sure he didn’t spot one closer.  The horned wolf scented the air, keeping his senses alert for predators.  The main thing he noticed with the hint of deer to come back to later.

“How long does this process normally take anyway?  Do the bees calm down right away or does it take a while?”  A moment's thought before adding, “What do you want the bees for?” Kotori imagined he was supposed to know about the other members of the pack if he was to reach his goals.  Kotori wanted power for simple selfish reasons but he could also hold up his end of responsibilities.  

Thank goodness the wolves in the pack he had spent time around seemed decent.  Some were weak and he questioned the promise of his nephews and nieces.  Still, they were young, and time to improve them if they pushed themselves.  It was bad for the pack if any of the wolves were weak but that was less important than if his own flesh and blood were weak.  Well, step one to gaining power was to catch a queen bee.  How ridiculous was that?
