Chapter 7 - Chapter 12

This is Head of Communications Adejare here Vesper can you hear me, Adejare asks.

Yes, we can hear you fine Vesper replies.

Okay i just wanted to check in how has the tour been, you are currently at the Zoo,the sand

Wyvern display uhn,Miss Rosalind could i possibly get your feedback on the tour as you

have reached the halfway point of today's tour, Miss Rosalind are you there Miss Rosalind

Adejare calls out as Rosalind is focused on the Storm of Sand Wyvern.

Yeah, yes, I'm here and the tour has been really amazing, Glenn Hearthstone Atheneum just

from the looks alone may just be the excitement that has been missing in my life, Rosalind

replies still looking at the Sand Wyvern but now taking a noble and more composed stance.

Oh, excitement, I'm glad to hear that Miss Rosalind you know in my culture we say all books

and no play make a dull child, not saying you are dull or anything like that Adejare advises in

a much more different time than her normal one.

I'll get back to you later and you should make the Zoo tour short cause the play is going to

start in the next 15 minutes, Jocelyn should teleport you once you are ready Adejare

commands.

Hmm a play, I'm not really a fan Rosalind comments moving back to her position behind

Vesper.

Well let's begin our short tour of the Desert biome Naima says leading the group along the

path.

The desert biome was huge,one could think it was the whole zoo with creature of all sizes

some like insects bigger than a person and some like bovines smaller than a person, though

even though it was all desert the terrain for each creature was different like worms has mildly

wet sand and a drizzle allowing for the worms to come out and soak a little,

The arachnids had much more dryer but lumpier sand having lots of caves holes that the

creatures hid in such as giant spiders that wove near invisible webs at the entrances of this

caves, the ants colony had a display that showed what was going on underground as the

ants tend to stay there.

Such class is that the queen ant why is wearing fabric are they that smart Rosalind asks

Naima who was unsurprisingly far ahead.

Oh sorry Naima apologies slowing down that not a Queen ant rather An Empress Ant it's an

evolution that happens everyone once in a while you know that just like us people creatures

like this also have roles they play in their stories this one specifically if from a parable just

like me though she isn't a person.

She just recently evolved into it after reaching a chorus level Cadence of her Specie function

here check it Naima points towards a pillar, this is what we call an Exhibit Codex, see just

like you want to make your codex appear you tap the space around the pillar and just like

that a bunch of generic blue colour pops out taking Rosalind by surprise.

Wow, that's a lot, which one? Ooh this one says Sand Wyvern Jude Rosalind gasps as one

of the Codex that pops out is of the Sand Wyvern that scared a while ago, hmm it says here

he has an assigned tamer ….

Ya Bint Unzhul look this is the Codex of the Empress Ant Pamphera, Inheritor of the Aesop

tale ant parables hmm interesting is it all the whole Aessop take ant stories Naima tries to

confirm.

What the ant is a Holos Inheritor that's insane is it safe to be putting out for display like this

Naima, Vesper Rosalind asks.

An Holos Inheritor ant, well i guess my suspicion was accurate Holos Inheritors might be

quite common in Glen Hearthstone Atheneum, imagine an unintelligible creature like this ant Not to worry Miss Rosalind, its Codex says it's highly trained and intelligent, no need to

worry about it harming us.

How unfortunate that an Holos Inheritor like this one ends up being a creature and not a

person the world is indeed cruel Vesper says sadly as she slowly approaches the Codex to

look at it.

Dear me, look at the time it's almost noon, Jocelyn screams out loud looking at her arm with

no watch in sight.

Uhmph, noon has long gone Jocelyn but our time here is almost certainly up Miss Rosalind

Viera says floating above everyone else detached from the conversation entirely.

Well I would like to explain Pamphera the Ant Empress evolution to Rosalind Naima quickly

comments.

She quickly signals for everyone to get closer, you see the evolution has nothing to do with

what story she inherited or what kind of Inheritor she is, she achieved it by understanding

her role as the leader of the colony and how she could lead it aside from being it's Queen

you see an Empress Ant doesn't have reproduction as any of its main function it instead

takes on the role of a strategist planning and controlling everything that happens in the

colony through different pheromones and organelles.

Wow so it abandons all the things that usually make the Queen still, Bridge adds she also

seems bigger than any other ant.

Let's not forget she also uses spells, proxies and encryptions to also control the colony, not

just pheromones Mord also adds.

Grrrr,Naima growls in doing the explaining here, Pamphera as an Empress also has access

to many evolutionary paths she can give to any ant in her colony expanding the amount of

roles present pretty neat oh allowing her to create multiple Queen ants like that one to

perform the reproduction function as well as be district governor of some sort, Ajab! She can

also personally perform these roles and influence other ants of different colonies, Naima

purrs.

That's really amazing. I wish I could look and examine all the Codex here on this Rosalind

fall silent for a brief time. Codex exhibit she says nervously forgetting what the pillar was

called.

Naima chuckles, okay you should be on your way and have been wondering you said your

name was Aurora Rosalind Seraphina Valory Snow White, you are from the same Valory

household as Vesper right? How does that work? Naima asks, her tail curling as her eyes

dilated, giving her a cute expression that makes Rosalind blush.

Well we are actually, I'm not exactly fond of saying it but we are from the household but we

are in no way related Rosalind answers boldly.

Oh okay, that's cute ayni,ayni,ayni Naima purrs.

That's enough Jocelyn teleports us out of here Viera exclaims descending towards the

group.

Well the play will just be starting by now, thanks Naima, I hope we were Great company see

at hall Bridge greets goodbye different strands of her hair waving goodbye looking like an

assembly of tentacles shaking.

Well do we really need to get close Jocelyn you can teleport us without teleporting us right

Vesper asks as Viera rests her hands on her shoulders.

Okay everyone next stop Grim Theaters Shroudwoods reach Jocelyn shouts like a

commuter as stands in front of the group sizing them up with her arms before they all

disappear like a pink blur.
