"WOW! WOW, RODION, ARE YOU LOOKING AT THIS?" Mikhailis shouted, almost nose-to-glass as he peered through his magnifying glass. He was leaning over the aquarium in his study, his eyes wide with fascination. The gleam of excitent in his gaze was unmistakable.
Using his magnifying glass, he focused on the chira ant queen, watching as she shimred beneath the soft light, her body noticeably larger. The ant wasn't just evolving—it was flourishing. Around her, nearly twenty worker ants and ten soldier ants scurried about, their movents sharp and purposeful. He could feel them—each one—through the familiar bond etched into his palm as a tattoo. The bond pulsed, almost like an electric connection, every ti they moved.
The queen herself was now the size of his fist, much bigger than when she first appeared in front of him. Her wings glistened faintly, reflecting the light as she moved with a grace that seed unreal for an insect.
Rodion's voice echoed softly, his tone laced with a mix of sarcasm and analytic precision.
Mikhailis grinned, unable to keep himself from smirking.
"Oh, please do. This feels like a proud dad mont here!"
Mikhailis scratched the back of his head, his grin widening.
"You make it sound like I run a monster petting zoo, Rodion. All for science, buddy. But I gotta say, the frogs were surprisingly tough to catch."
Mikhailis's eyes sparkled at the ntion of "magical beast." He stared at the queen, watching her shimr and her abdon pulse with energy. The worker ants scurried around, so gathering small particles from the corners of the aquarium, while the soldier ants stood vigilant, ready for anything.
"She's beautiful..." Mikhailis muttered, almost to himself. He could sense the change within her, like a small spark of magic lighting up inside, and it wasn't just physical growth—it was sothing deeper. He could feel her intelligence beginning to bloom.
He continued watching the bustling ants for several minutes, his fascination only growing as he noted the differences in each cast—the workers, the soldiers, and, of course, the queen.
Their instincts were sharp, movents almost coordinated like they had a military strategy in place. He had to test this.
"Alright, let's see if this works." Mikhailis straightened up, placing the magnifying glass to the side. He stared into the aquarium, focusing on the bond in his palm.
It was like an invisible thread linking him to the queen, a ntal string that connected them.
With a slight tilt of his head, he gave a ntal command: Fly.
The queen shuddered montarily, then, as if obeying his will, her wings began to flutter. Slowly, she lifted off the ground, rising steadily into the air. Her iridescent wings sparkled as they caught the light, and she moved smoothly, elegantly, hovering above the worker ants. The soldiers, sensing movent, beca alert, their antennae twitching.
"Holy crap, it worked!" Mikhailis couldn't contain his excitent.
"Rodion, are you seeing this? I'm, like, the ant whisperer or sothing!"
Mikhailis couldn't hide the mischievous smile spreading across his face.
"This is gonna be fun. Imagine what we could do if these guys actually get those powers."
He looked back at the ants, feeling the bond with the queen throb faintly. They obeyed him without question. Every little movent followed his ntal command. It was as though he was their king, and the queen was his loyal emissary.
"Alright, Rodion, I think it's ti to get that experint going. It's ti to install 'that.'"
Mikhailis grinned from ear to ear. "Aweso! We did it, Rodion. She's got her own little cam now. Imagine all the things we can see."
Mikhailis leaned back, letting out a sigh of satisfaction. "I always wanted to see the world through an ant's eyes. And now, I can. Plus, this will give us so much insight into their habits, their behaviors, even how the magic is affecting them."
