Mane was born with a fire in his heart, and he's always tried to work his hardest to overcome his role in the hive. He may be a drone, born without any natural strength like the females of the hive, but he's trained day after day, and now is proud to call himself a Guardian.

He walks down the hall, passed by the born Guardians, their eyes following him with a hint of amusement, like he's lesser. He brushes it off, like he does everyday, and continues his patrol.

What he hadn't expected on his patrol today, however, was for the queen to approach him.

He falls to a knee, bowing in respect to his queen. "Your majesty, what brings you to me today?"

He knows that the queen normally seeks out a drone for the repopulation of the hive, but he never volunteered for that. Perhaps today is the day, and that only makes him more nervous.

He's a guardian, not some lazy drone!
