As a kid, I accidentally stepped on a huge hornet's nest, which was hidden under a pile of tree pruning branches... Then I heard a sound that resembled a laundry washing machine in operation... Then a yellow rope came out of the branches, and toward me... I was slapping at hornets the moment they landed on me, here, there, and anywhere, but too quickly there were too many to keep track of to slap.. so I shook them all off, and did a couple quick jumps away from the attack thread, and stood my ground, and held my hands at my sides, while the attack column of angry bugs came towards me, closer, and closer, and Closer.. I held, and held, and Held with all I had, without peeing my pants... The moment the attack point was two-feet from my face, I shot out my hands lightning fast, slapping the point bugs in a firm flat hand's clap, squishing the point's six bugs, then slowly opened my hands, and pushed them forward palms up and flat, slightly tilted toward the stream of bugs, with the squirming squished warriors showing, and locked it there, showing the rest what had just happened to their best warriors, while I telepathed to the queen that should even one of her warriors stung me, I would clap my hands over her whole nest, crushing her nest and her into quivering goo... Suddenly the whole line of bugs broke up, and they all went back to their home in the twigs... If my defense ploy hadn't been successful I probably would have received a couple hundred stings, more than enough to kill me... oh Yay Sorcery telepathy, and guts!..
If people could catch on to basic mental magic, there would be a lot less accidents with venomous bugs... You just gotta treat living things like they are your equals or better, then you'll get along with everything... Everything but humans that is... Most humes just can't bring themselves to see anything as equals... To most humes other living things are merely only threat, and something they needs to kill ASAP...
Most folks won't believe this, but you can set your finger near a huge garden spider in her nest, and she will taste you, and walk onto your finger, and press her belly to your skin just for the warmth... Venomous critters are as friendly as baby kittens... It just that should they feel threatened they Will defend themselves faster than you can blink...
You can approach a rattle snake, speak "greetings your majesty", and bow your head, holding the bow 8-seconds, then you may be permitted to pet its head and caress its throat... It might even curl up on your leg, if you're sitting with it... But just one tiny wee mistake, which shows even the slightest disrespect, and you are thus invenomated, and on your way to the hospital, or dead... On second thought, it's best humans just stay away from all the critters.. Most of you haven't got the slightest clue about what respect is.. and doing what I do with dangerous critters would only get you dead fast... Best you all stick to petting your pussies, if you've got nice furry ones that don't bite...
