After the feast in Chillg City, Alvaric, Lyrith, and Marie continued their journey. They would not settle there because Alvaric wanted to return home—to the Ant Bee nest. He longed to meet his children.
Just as they came out of the forest, Alvaric was immediately greeted by hundreds of Ant Bees. And that was only the ones visible.
Not long after, the Ant Bees quickly formed lines. They stretched forward as if queuing. There were four lines right in front of Alvaric.
Marie, who had just seen this for the first time, was puzzled. "What is happening?" she asked.
Alvaric stepped forward and said, "Do you all want me to stand here for days? Can't we return home first?"
Immediately, several Ant Bees swarmed Alvaric. They lifted his body and placed him on the back of one of the large Ant Bees. Then, they carried him away from there toward the nest.
