[Perspective shift: One wormy boi]

Primary objective: seeking out and destroying the Soulless.

Secondary objective: prevent the Soulless from killing any innocent Humanes.

Initiating check for Soulless.

If one had been paying attention, and had an eye looking for something out of the ordinary, they would have spotted a line of metallic substance leap from the earth, as if some higher being was weaving a thread into the ground.

Canine Soulless spotted 15 feet away, accompanied by 2 humans. Stealth, or efficiency? Answer received; Intercepting & erasing.

This time, it was a bit more flashy. It was like watching a silver cobra striking out at the Beowulf. Most people would just see it and count their blessings. Unfortunately, a certain pair of bandits were the ones to have witnessed it. One would be perfectly happy to drown the memory down in root beer and move on with life. The other one was too curious at what the thread came from, and furious at it for stealing her kill.

Objective completed. Returning to the Hive.

We thank you for performing your duties.

[Perspective shift: The Iron Hive]

All is peaceful. All is united. All is powerful. All is right.

Our King has found a queen to rule over us with. We shall gladly kill any of the Soulless in their honor, for they are the core of Us. They are Our mind, Our body, & Our soul, for We are made as their protection. Soon, We shall show Him that we can be advisors just as much as we can be soldiers. And then, we shall truly be able to protect the King and Queen. For We are The Iron Hive, and We shall stand firm against any attacker who dares to oppose Us. And if Our King decides to give Us a body...

Then only the King and Queen themselves can stop us.
