She called them Her helpers, with their buzzing wings and tiny stings, they were Her eyes and ears across the kingdom. And She loved them.
Her subjects feared them and her children loathed them, but none dared touch so much as a wingtip for fear of Her wrath.

Mortality landed on Her delicate finger and as She kissed its jewelled wings its sting closed her throat and She died.
