No, this was not my imagination.
One hornet stood out from the crowd. She was hovering at the side of the cave, quite a distance away from me. She didn't look like she was resting or doing any work—she was just staring at me and… sneering?
Then I realized a more disturbing detail—the system wasn't showing her stats! Nor could I hear her thoughts.
'This isn't a hornet at all…'
Just as I thought this, she appeared right in front of me. She didn't fly here—she just teleported the same way my astral projection could!
"It's you again, annoying mortal…" the Goddess of Hornets—this was definitely her!—said. "Tell your pathetic patron that she won't trick me ever again. She won't trick anyone, because I will get her exiled and suppressed!"
'Oh, shit. She looks angry,' I thought, thinking rapidly if I should just flee immediately, or this will just make her angrier and more willing to break rules by attacking me directly.
