I didn't leave Precio-Us immediately after this. First, I compiled in my head all the information known about the Divinity Sound so far, and made sure that not too many people knew about it.
I decided that the various "levels of comprehension" of the Divinity Sound needed their own definitions.
'They will be called stages,' I declared to myself and Precio-Us.
The first stage was harmless, only stunning whoever heard it in their mind. A hive mind of a thousand bees could comprehend and use it.
The second stage, as Precio-Us demonstrated, had strange powers… But they were small-scale, apparently. A hive mind of at least three thousand bees was necessary to comprehend this stage.
And the third stage, by Precio-Us' words, required twenty thousand more bees and would hold an unknown but great amount of power.
Besides myself, the Empire Council, and involved bees, nobody knew about the Divinity Sound; even those who were involved mostly knew very vague things about it.
