"Mother," Bumble said coldly, the guards behind her fidgeting worriedly.
"Bumble, what are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be in your room-?" Queen Anthropila said squinting at Bumble.
"Well, yes- I suppose. But I think it is my time to rule the Bee-Wings Mother." Bumble said, her usually kind eyes, now unforgiving and cold.
"Bumble, you can't be serious." Anthropila laughed. "We are in the middle of a war, and it is not a good time to have a power shift. Wait a few more years, honey"
"Ah, but I think now is a good time. Queen Anthropila, I officially challenge you in a duel for the Throne of the Bee-Wings." Bumble said lifting her chin, her eyes and face like steel.
"As you wish, Bumble." Queen Anthropila said, nodding her head. Her eyes showed sadness, like she thought she was going to have to kill her daughter. Oh how wrong she was.
Anthropila and Bumble flew to the Royal Duel Arena for the Throne. It was positioned in the hive, where everyone could see the battle. Unfortunately, that also included Bee-Wolf.
"Bumble! What are you doing?!?" Bee-Wolf screamed at her. Bumble flicked her talons at the guards escorting them, and they dragged Bee-Wolf away.
They glided down with elegance, touching the sandy ground, as they circled each other glaring. Bumble suddenly bit down on Queen Anthropila's wing, poisoning it. She then did that to her other wing, and black slowly crawled down her forearm, making Anthropila limp. Bumble tackled her, and Anthropila sliced her claws down Bumble's side, making a large gash. For the final strike Bumble bit down on former Queen Anthropila's neck and poisoned her.
The dragon announcing who won shouted out "Behold! Your new queen! Queen Bumble!"
"Thank you, I plan on doing great, great, things" Bumble announced, an evil smile spreading across her face.
