The ant hill is very large, over 5 feet high, and is wrapped around the base of a pine tree. The ants are huge compared to normal ants, and jut in and out of large holes in the ant hill. Bones of animals and even people can be seen sticking out of the red dirt ant hill.

the future heir to the throne
I am the heir to the throne in my father's kingdom. I have eyes watching me all the time to make sure I do the right thing. It is often hard to maintain myself properly while also being true to myself. I usually find that I am torn and distressed about what i truly believe and where I want to be.
I didn't know someone else was here. Usually people don't brave the giant ants. Well I'm quite used to it by now. Who are youZ? Do you not recognize me?  I am just someone trying to figure out life... Ohh I think so... are you the next heir to this kingdom? Yes, I was hoping you wouldn't know. It would be just my luck to have anonymity for once.  I come here often to think since most people avoid it.  What brings you here?  I will not bother you like the others, don't worry. I just come here for the solitude.  Are you alone?  Have you no family or vocation? Alone here? Yes but not alone alone, I have family in the nearest village. I understand your need for solitude.  There are so many things that I don't agree with my father, the king, about and I'm torn between when I have to do and what I want to do. Well if you are not happy being the heir, can you not drop the title? I wouldn't want to disgrace my family.  I am the only child.  I know I am strong but I might do things differently one day.  Watch out...and ant is on your back! Thank you for the watchful eye! But if you aren't happy with that path then you don't need to take it.
