Chapter Text
The sea coloured orange in the sun as the latter began disappearing in the distance.
With the first glimpse of the moon, the Trolls and Lusi of Alternia began waking up. Another night to seize.
When they wake up, they all begin their own business in their hives. But tonight, this wasn’t the case.
Everyone in the sea was making haste tonight. They had to be somewhere, and quickly.
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking step into the moon
There’s more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There’s far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the moon rolling high
Through the black sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
Slowly, all Trolls and Lusi began arriving at the gates of the Royal Hive.
It’s the circle of life
And it moves us all
On the balcony, their Queen stood with a triumphant smile. Her servant, a mere yellow blood using his psychic powers to make a barrier of air around him, just arrived and bowed for her. He was her most loyal servant, and she trusted him all her secrets.
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
In the meantime, yet another servant was arriving.
This one was a Jade blood, supported by a diving suit to breath there. She was the Queen’s most wise advisor.
These 2 servants were the only Trolls that had the support of the Queen to be in the sea.
‘Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
With both of her servants there, the Queen walked back inside. There, the lusus of one of her less trustable servants was taking care of a small red-pink coloured grub.
It is unusual for adult Trolls to take care of young Trolls. Some seadwelling Trolls are exceptions. It is possible for them to live long enough to find out who their descendants are, and some of them would take care of the young Trolls to make them go into their own footsteps. Others didn't live long enough and left a journal for their descendants and some others couldn't care less about their descendants.
The Queen was one of the first group, and her descendant had recently been laid by the Mother Grub.
The lusus showed the Queen and her servants the grub, who looked up with curious eyes.
The Jade Troll took the grub out of the lusus’ tentacles and commenced the traditions for newly born royal grubs.
The proud Troll looked on.
When the Jade Troll was done, she walked back to the balcony and showed the grub to the antsy Trolls below, while the proud queen stood next to her.
They all began cheering for their future queen, and then bowed for her.
