My body erupted from the mountain top before I skittered down the mountain, moving through trees and rocks as I made my way to where the soldiers were.
The light from their campfires shone brightly and I could pick up on the princess's scent as I made my way down.
My dark exoskeleton blended into the night perfectly while my pointed legs sank into the ground with ease without making a sound.
As I moved, I used biomass to lower my size to about 20 feet before raising my wings and taking off into the sky.
I propelled myself down the mountain and just seconds later, the massive army came into view.
I purposefully vibrated my wings loud enough so they could hear me approaching.
Immediately, the soldiers began to rise from their slumber and at the same time, I landed just in front of the princess's tent.
Fear permeated on each of their faces from my sudden arrival.
"Apex?" The princess stepped out of her tent, wearing a silk nightgown with her sword in one hand.
