Symbiosis

The Moshichuna division of the army was riding to the battlefield. It was pouring in cartloads. The men were brimming with enthusiasm, having had an uneventful ride all the way from home. The Captain had the most magnificent mare, but of course. Her hair glistened in the rain and when she galloped in the forest the trees parted away for her.


 A young soldier, named Ougamugu, was having visions of himself in a death metal band. Each gallop of his horse was in sync with an insanely fast guitar riff. It was his first trip outside his town. His veins throbbed with youthful zeal and his mother's blessings. 


The Captain inspected his division and felt appropriately arrogant. He was leading some of the finest men in the country and was confident of a victory. It was to be his last battle.


As they entered the forest, Ougamugu burst into song. 





aMamui was laughing to herself. She knew she was getting old.  Her legs were not as nimble as they used to be. But she didn't mind. Her life was, as she recited frequently to her peers,  full of surprises. 
She knew that it was the Captain's last time out. She knew that he knew too. 


Neehaw and Neehui were singing and making a general ruckus. They knew the gods had ordained this night. It was prophesied that one who died in battle went straight to horse heaven. Having feasted on some fresh hay at the morning camp they were jubilant. 


"Men are so stupid man! They think they rule us lol", neighed Neehaw. 
"Hahaha lol rofl!", neighed Neehui, throwing his head up in the air. "I love me some rain!".

And then they sang the "We are the champions" chorus the umpteenth time.  






In the same forest a Queen bee and her daughter were scouting for food. The Princess was undergoing some basic training.  They found a juicy flower next to the edge of the forest and the Queen started sucking up some nectar like there was no tomorrow. 


The young one saw the grand division passing by. 
"Look Ma!"


The Queen stopped sucking and looked up, irritated with the impatient one. Then she looked at the gang of men and horses passing by.  
"Hmmph. Things are not what they seem to be". And the Queen went back to getting her shot of nectar. The Princess looked at the men. Then she looked at the horses. Then she looked at the state of ecstasy on her ma's face. And finally she looked away, towards the mountains.
