Dark discovery and hope

The entrance door was a slab of stone that spanned for hundreds of meters toward the sky. From up close, I couldn't even see the top of it, and of course, there was no way for us bees to push it open.

We just walked through a meter-sized gap between the door and the doorway; except for team three, which stayed outside to look out for enemies.

Inside was much darker, and the potent smell of herbs and humans was overpowering whatever else I could scent around. In front of us was just a rocky plain of the floor, with nothing but an occasional boulder or a dry leaf making it less empty.

In the distance, I saw massive shapes that must've been furniture, and a rectangular window which let in light and fresh air.
