I stepped outside the apartment and lifted back into the air, letting my body become enveloped with flames.[I have marked three locations that are most likely to have colonies, but I don't know if they are ruled separately. They might be under the control of the leader of the colony, or they might all follow a central ruler between them.]'Do you really think that they will have such a complicated system? They are just bugs," I thought to Hero casually, and I got about one hundred and twenty feet in the air above everything.I had each one of the locations in my vision, and because we were so high up, Hero marked the areas in my vision with digital markers that weren't really there, but they made it really easy to keep track of areas.[You didn't pay attention to them, but I saw them using different types of tools. I also noticed that they were ordering each other around, and some of them had to carry devices. I think that adding some to your Ranch would

I watched as bugs flew and ran in every direction all at once, but not a single one of them crashed or even bumped into each other. In the center of the chaotic whirl mass, a strange-looking slug was hanging in a basket, but it was covered in eyes."Okay, as soon as we move ahead about five feet, we will be marked, then you just have to listen to the directions and follow them exactly. We are going over to the cave directly across from us with the red paint lining the entrance. Make sure that you are focusing on that when we go, so the Sector Director knows where to guide you," Raul explained as he pointed across the cavern.The place he was showing me was hard to see with all the bugs moving around, but I was able to spot it. I hoped I didn't get lost from these two, but I could just find them after and get to them quickly.I was hoping that I would be able to find something to track the main leaders of each hive so I could just easily travel down to them rathe

I walked beside the caterpillar for about ten minutes before we were approached by a greasy-looking cockroach. This was the worst, and it was all bug and nearly as tall as me, but the Mexican accent made him slightly better."Aye, buddy! You sound come down and have some drinks of fermented nectar with the boys and me! You look weird enough to know how to have a good time!" The cockroach said to me, in a combination of its chattering hisses.The sound made my skin crawl, and all the hairs on my body tried to stand out straight. There was nothing that could make something like this attractive, no matter the modification."Vishticalus, leave him alone! I am taking him to see Grixaitalax. Get out of my way, or I will cut all your legs off like last time!" My caterpillar friend growled at the disgusting bug that was bigger than her.Vishticalus took a few steps back with a cringe and then said, "Calm down, Danincalinox! I am just asking a friendly question! Y

"So, what exactly are you trying to do inside of my head?" I asked as I walked over to Maelstrom and Harold.Wataluga was standing over at the one machine that was uncovered, but it was a complicated look switchboard. None of the buttons had labels on them, but my Water Elemental was pressing them like he knew what he was doing."What I am trying to do is diversify your energy and give you access to more elemental power. Normally, you should only be allowed to get the six Pacts and create bonds to form Totems. I am going to try and start breeding elementals inside of you. Then when they are brought from the nine rings, they will automatically form a pact with you," Harold explained."Breeding them? You plan to start the ranch in my head?" I asked, half-joking, but the look on his face said he wasn't kidding."Yes, but more of an elemental hatchery in your head, but I think it will give you more diversity. It takes too much energy to combine the elements t

I walked through the sliding doors, and the four elementals looked at me, but Blaza seemed uneasy. I was sure he was curious about what was happening to Maelstrom, considering that It was more than likely to happen to him next."The three have been split apart, but they are being contained and monitored for now. Harold is going to come back up here soon to let us know what is going on. Still, I have the Dark energy quarantined for now," I explained to them all, and Blaza's edgy look seemed to disappear."What does that mean for me? Are there three of me?" Blaza asked, looking down at his hands where he stood beside Grogvel and Windorf."I don't know yet; you will have to ask Harold when he gets out here. I am sure that we will figure something out, but what is going on outside right now?" I asked as I walked over to the table, but the map was no longer up."There were thousands of hanging pods and then some strange rings, but now there is a strange freque
