Moon calmed Nero,who waited silently for Moon to come out. After listening to what Nero had to say.Moon didn't know how to respond,he didn't know anything about orcs. He had seen millions of humans live together, so a few thousand wasn't a big deal to him.
Nero who saw Moon's reaction misunderstood. Moon was calm, because he knew about the orcs and everything was under his control. Thinking that much,Nero calmed down and even started relaxing.
------------------------
Aurora who made it to the orcs, was carefully watching them from the sky. The more she saw,the more she was sure ,that orcs were moving systematically.
Two orcs had a dispute among themself. Considering they were orcs,Aurora knew this was their normal behavior.How they were acting before would be considered abnormal.
The two orcs continued with their fight and the orcs around were influenced as 10 orcs were dragged to the fight. As time went by,it was escalating and finally something happened.
One heavy orc armored with black steel-plated armor,came forward and made a beastly sound. This got every orc that was present to freeze. Everyone stopped their fight and looked at the orc with awe. He was a head taller than normal orc.
As fast as he came, he went back as fast too. Aurora followed the newcomer from the sky. The orc ruffled far away from the bas,until he arrived at an open field. Four other orcs were waiting for him.
" I have finished cleaning up after the babies"
"They just can't stop causing trouble every other day"
"Don't blame them. it is just how they were created. Just think of going for a walk every other day, soon we won't need them anyway"
All of them started laughing. Soon everything they planned would be ready. They wouldn't need to babysit the orcs. The one who was the happiest about this was the one who just came. As he was the weakest, he always had to deal with the trivial task like maintaining the orcs.
As the five of them were talking. A shadow appeared right in the middle. They were about to get on guard but as they saw who it was. They immediately kneeled and no one dared to speak or move for fear of losing their life.
The shadow didn't say anything for a whole minute, which made the orcs kneeling feel very uncomfortable. The figure started looking up and threw something into the air. Nobody could see exactly what it was. It was too fast, blurring away into the sky.
Aurora who was in the sky reacted immediately,as the knife was coming straight for her head. She manages to dodge the fatal attack but it hit one of her wings. Fortunately, she still had stability as her other three were working harder.
It didn't take a long for her to notice an abnormal blackness slowly consuming her wing. It was the exact place the knife had pierced.She decided to return home to report this as the threat level had increased even more.

The shadow figure looked down as the orcs couldn't move an inch. He didn't tell them to stand up or feel at ease as he looked at them. His eyes were looking at the 5 five trashes,not to even br able to tell when they were tailed by a bee. It wouldn't matter, as the bee would die soon enough.
"Everything is ready for you. I have made all the necessary plans. Now i hope you will not disappoint me,with merely an average performance" Saying what he came to say, the shadow left as silently as he came. The dumbfounded orcs didn't know why the shadow was discontented.
Aurora who was flying towards home was starting to lose her strength as her altitude was falling. She wasn't losing just her wing strength but also her vision was becoming blurry.
As she staggered in the sky and was holding as long she could, Claustar's black walls came into her blurry vision. She was never happy to see a wall as she was now . She didn't have the strength to avoid or to stop,she was going to hit the wall.
Raiz who was just coming back saw the falling Aurora and sped up. Aurora didn't hit the wall since an automatic passage formed for her to go through.
After passing the wall,she was about to hit the ground but Raiz finally caught up. Picking her up, he noticed how her body was turning black,starting from her left wing. He ran to elder Alia,who was the only healer they had.
Alie made Raiz put her on a wooden bed, made by the humans. She looked carefully at Alia. When Aurora's left wing touched the wood, she groaned from the pain. Alia had never seen anything as life-threatening as this.
Elder Alia didn't hesitate as she used mana to heal Aurora but the process was slow as she heal her one part at a time. Raiz, who couldnt do anything more for her, went to infinity to train more.
Moon who was notified of what had happened ,was for the first time visibly upset. No matter what, having one of your family members almost die was not an experience you want to live through. As Cloud was thinking deeply,the lifestone was vibrating crazily.
The light of lifestone got brighter by the hour. As Raiz came back after staying four hours inside the infinity. The first thing he saw was the lifestone that was emitting almost blinding light, he had to see what was happening.
From the lifestone, the ten light balls that flew out of it,morphed from the ball into bees in a matter of minutes. Before long in everybody's eyes, there were 10 bees surrounding the lifestone. They looked same as normal bees,except for the purple clouds on their wings.
" Welcome young ones. From now on this is your home" Moon came forward and welcome the young bees, although technically he was not much older himself.
The bees looked at the cloud, they didn't know why but there was something familiar about him. Nevertheless, they didn't care about the cloud. One of them said" Where is the queen or the king of the hive"
Raiz who was quietly watching the show suddenly got pointed by one of them " He looks strongest amongs any of these. I will be the one who will beat him and will become the king"
"No. I will be the one who will defeat him and become the queen"
Each of them looked at Raiz wanting to beat him. Moon who was now on the sidelines,laughed out of the fearless and energic bees. Raiz on the otherhand,didn't know what to do in this situation.
" Just give them little guidance, we must educate the young ones," Moon said. It seemed Moon was feeling angry because of Aurora's situation and then came baby bees who ignored him when he welcomed them.
"Poor you, normally this wouldn't happen even when you were being such a brats. Unfortunately for you guys, it's the wrong day for that. Raiz flew out in the air and said "come at me, all of you"
The bees couldn't take anymore and the closest bee flew up. The speed was definitely above the normal bee's flight capability. Raiz who saw the attack in a slow motion,easily dodged and hit him towards the ground.
Just before the bee hit the ground, his wings flapped fast and returned to his original position. He looked at his siblings and said "Let's attack together"
The others didn't hesitate as they flew towards Raiz but none of them used their stinger. They didn't even consider using it against him. One after another came flying towards Raiz.
At first, it was easy for Raiz to dodge their attacks one after another. After a while, their speed and attack were getting stronger. They were learning fast and one of them even managed a hit to Raz.
Raiz could tell from that attack, they were on stage 6. The moment they were born they were already staged 6, no wonder they had such a confident,Raiz thought. Raiz was happy for them but leaving the caution out, would lead them to early death.
So Raiz did what any loving family member would do, beating them to a pulp until they couldn't stand anymore. Their attack and speed got stronger by the end and they almost became stage 7.
" You guys did very well for newborns, you should be very proud of yourself," Raiz said. Then he pointed towards Moon and said
" He is our leader. He is a lot stronger than me and more merciless. If you try to fight him, you will end up in a worse state. Don't let his innocent appearance fool you " Raiz said evily
Moon looked Raiz with question marks on his face. I am as innocent as I look, stop giving them weird thoughts.
