Illustration of Queen Thalia and Lodec back when he was her Consort. Queen Bees are exceptionally tall, towering over most at 9 feet or taller.

Super curious about your queen bee! Who is she??? Is she a story character? If so where can I read/ check her out?

Abuse tw! 

She is the Queen of Lodec’s Hive of his World and she is his Main Antagonist. She’s in love with him you see, but only as much as one could love a prized toy most likely. Lodec knew he wasn’t a female bee for a long long time but he hid it from her because he was afraid of what she would do to him. After all, male bees are only good for being consorts for the highest bee officials (not that Lodec ever had one because he and others feel that’s an archaic way of thinking) and for reproduction. 

For a while it was fine, he was one of her most trusted confidants and advisers. Of course eventually she finds out and since he’d been so close to her she dubs him as her main consort and sends him for heavy training which entails a lot of etiquette and refinery training at a kind of convent and basically brainwashing so you can imagine how bad it is. He tries to escape and she sends the guards after him (who all feel betrayed because of course how could anyone want to be a male bee who isn’t one already?) 

Maybe as he’s being dragged back is when Progic’s portal opens and rescues him, maybe he falls through a portal while running away. Most likely he’s sent to Thalia and stuck being hers for a while before the portal opens and he goes through it. But either way he’s grateful he won’t have to go back but he often misses his hive because it was a hivemind collective.  Queen Thalia by the way, is still searching for him. She’s got this possessive streak a mile wide. She won’t give up her things without a fight and as far as she is concerned, Lodec is her thing.

I’ve never been happier. Learning that they like my art is... amazing. Inspiring.
