I haven't been able to write for several days. A couple days back I got my wish, and we were deployed as security for the drones workers harvesting the oatmeal cream pie. Ant, it was beautiful. Anyway, there was word that the reds were in the area, and spiders, I was excited and scared. The pheromones from the workers and the soldiers was thick. One small spider tried to cross our path, but he was pushed back quiet easily. But then it all went horribly wrong. First it was like the night was coming, but it did not seem to be time for night. But then the Light came. I can still smell the burnt carapace. It seemed to come out of no where. We tried to fight it, but anyone to tried to bit the Light just shriveled up and burst into flames. We ran as fast as we could to get back to the nest, but we lost a lot of good soldiers and workers. My throax and back leg was burned a little as I got back to the nest. The worker who was behind me wasn't so lucky. Now there are whispers that the Followers of the Light are taking over. I have found the darkest part of the hive to hide in. I hope they wont... shhhh I hear someone
