Writing Prompts: Day 1 - They said it could be done

They said it could be done. However, the soldiers were unaware of the kind of planning and deliberation that went behind rebuilding the nest. Their queen had been through a lot these past few days, no doubt. After the humans had torn down their hill and the cranes had disappeared from their view, chaos had prevailed for hours. There was so little the soldiers could do to defend the colony against the human ‘attack’. Now that the forest was calm again, it was time to rebuild and start from scratch. With the increase in human activity over the last few years, minor disruptions to their nest were not uncommon. But this was the first time they had experienced such a major upheaval, a total tear-down of their home and the loss of so many lives. Things would never be the same again, and rebuilding their lives was not going to be a mean feat.
