The air in Kingdom's Edge tastes of rust and dust. You stumble against a crumbling wall, and the stone gives way, revealing a narrow tunnel that hums with a low, rhythmic buzz. Inside, the Hive glows amber, its wax corridors alive with darting shadows. You slip past vigilant bees, heart pounding, until a Knight blocks your path. Then a voice, smooth as honey, cuts through the tension. "Cease, Knight." Queen Vespa steps forward, her wings folding. Her gaze settles on you, curious and sharp. "You're our guest now."
