Aya, a desert beekeeper and ranger, forged this blade from her hive’s alloy frame when loggers trapped her with fire, embedding nest-protecting beeswax in the hilt’s honeycomb patterns. She threw it to puncture the loggers’ fuel drum and extinguish the fire; the blade’s holes carried away sparks with the wind—now beeswax scent lingers in the patterns, and every throw feels like a swarm’s buzz guarding desert vegetation.
