Where am I?

What am I?

Why am I...?

A thought wandered aimlessly, searching for a purpose.

SSSssssss!

Then a sudden hiss woke it up from it's mind.

What...?

Then pain slowly returned to the numb body, biting through it's entire existence, which woke it up.

What is this...! Acid...!? Argh!

Then it felt itself losing control over it's body, spreading the feeling of numbness again, it thought in panic as it remembered it's purpose.

The Queen...! I must protect the Queen! My duty isn't over...! Protect The Queen!

Through sheer will and determination, the puny ant struggled and tried to stand up only to fail, then it turned to it's offender, who was approaching it's Queen.

The Queen's antenna twitched and she retreated in panic and terror, making the attacker rush at her.

No...

As the thing closed up on the Queen, her back pressed against the cave wall, making it grin.

No...!

The monster whipped it's antenna back and forth in excitement and slowly walked forward.

NO!

The Queen sent out a signal for help, likely her last, as the enemy opened it's jaws, preparing to chomp down on her.

CRACK!

The ant screamed inside it's mind, resonating with it's very soul, then it felt unimaginable power surged forth from deep within it's being, it jumped and practically flew forward and crashed on top of the unsuspecting insect, the latter quickly shook it's head desperately as it's glee turned into panic.

The loyal guard didn't allow it to move more and chomped it's neck with all of it's strength, making it twitched violently for a moment, before becoming still.

The Queen looked at her savior and clattered her jaws in praise of it's actions, but quickly sent out a signal in panic when her brave warrior suddenly fell off the monster's back and stayed completely still.

I protected the Queen...

Lights filled it's mind as it's senses faded away slowly, not knowing that it's end was just the beginning.
