Unnamed ant scout?, Unknown Location

She sat up on the cold damp floor. Memories of what had transpired came rushing towards her, making her remember things she would have preferred not to. She could still feel it when she saw the creature’s predatory grin. Its hungry eyes looked at her as if looking directly at her soul. Then she heard a voice.

“Greetings, your majesty” it said but this just confused her. She looked around and saw no one, not even her new comrades. Looking around a bit more she could see she woke up in a different place.

“Enjoying your new surroundings?” It asked, she looked around and still found no one. Then realized the voice was in her head. She began to slightly panic and asked as many questions as she could.

“Hello? Who are you? Where am I? How are you speaking in my head?” She asked frantically, wanting to know as much as possible in her new situation.

The voice chuckled at her reaction, the voice quickly answered her question in short and simple answers.

“Hello to you too, and I am… … Evergreen and you're in my chamber. I'm not exactly speaking to you, but I am sending my thoughts or answers through the link between the two of us”

The voice answered her questions and that made her feel a bit better but not a whole lot. She was about to ask more through the link but was interrupted.

“Before you ask anymore question I have to tell you something”

She stopped trying to ask anymore questions and calmed down to listen to what the being would say. She was intrigued about what a powerful being would say to her, a mere scout.

“Alright your listening, Ok. Basically I accidentally killed all your comrades. Weell, not all of them but most. Follow the instructions I'm about to give to meet the few survivors''

She just nodded and followed the instructions, she didn't particularly trust the being but she felt that she had to obey him. Following the instructions that was given to her, she briskly made it to the path where she fell unconscious.

She looked around the scene to confirm whether her comrades were dead, it was confirmed to be true when she saw their bodies. It was a horrific sight, the bodies seem to indicate that they died from blowing up from the inside, some were squashed and others were straight up gone. Removed from this reality but she could still see remnants of the ants she led to their demise.

She wandered around the scene, still couldn't fathom how they exploded from the inside. When all of sudden she bumped into something, it was someone, an ant.

“A survivor of the massacre” she thought, she looked at the ant before when the other spoke.

“My apologies your majesty, is there something wrong with how I look now?”

Surprised by this question, she stuttered when she answered.

“It's not that, it's because I don't remember anyone as big as you”

“Ah, yes. Well as you could see your majesty. The emperor granted us his blessings as his chosen one”

She nodded in agreement when it struck her. “Your majesty?! Was she referring to me” she thought to herself, she frantically thought on why someone would address her like that. In an instant, it hit her, the emperor must have altered her.

She looked at her body only to see her abdomen larger and her legs were now longer. She gasped in astonishment as she pondered on what happened.

She became something she never dreamed of, a queen
