Snippet #2756321

At the odd stranger's request, the icicles sublimed into steam, rising into the air with a hiss. The woman began talking to the spider like a cute pet, or perhaps a dear friend, and Theri's jaw dropped slightly as she referred to herself as a spider. Surely this woman had lost it.

The Magi's jaw dropped even further, as she seemed to be successfully calming Siggio. She informed him that she was a powerful spider, but not related to Siggio, who happened to be a girl spider. The two spiders exchanged more words, and the stranger suddenly changed looks and grew spider mandibles. "What....?"

"WHAT!? You're confused?! I"M confused. How do you not know where you are? More importantly, what are you? And why did the spider listen to you? Spiders eat each other all the time! Wait..." Therion backed away slightly from the stranger, raising his wand in preparation. "You're not... You're not a Black Widow, are you? You aren't going to eat me..?" It was a moment before he hesitantly informed her of their location.

"You're uh... You're on Origin. We're on the Rosetta Continent, in the Corelands, slightly North of Hayslem City." Curiosity overtook the boy, and he suddenly found himself ignoring the giant spider. "Why? Where did you think you are, and where did you come from?" Theri crept closer to the strange woman, walking around her and examining her in detail. He even used the end of his wand to move her hair slightly, trying to ensure it wasn't an illusion.
