《Rise Of The Spider Queen》 Chapter: 0 - Prologue Urgh my head hurts hmm where am I? I look around me it seems I am In some kind of an egg that''s strange wasn''t I supposed to be......... Hmm where was I supposed to be again?Wait what''s my name again strange I cant seem to remember anything hmm I guess this is my home now, it''s not that bad it''s warm and cozy I like it. I yawn and stretch my hand inside the egg and the thing that caught my eye was the skin on my hand it looked strange and not only the skin my fingers and nails as well. My skin looked black and it was stretching my fingers were long and slender like a girls and nail were very sharp like a knife. Hmm was I always like this I wonder, I looked down and saw the rest of my body I had two round breasts on my chest not to big and not to small either also covered in black skin my legs are slender I can''t see my face but I can see my hair it pretty long black hair but the thing that caught my attention the most was six long tentacle like things no they looked more like legs except they were sharp at the end extremely so even more than my nails. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. Hmm weird are humans supposed to have things like these.......wait what''s a human again? Ohh well let''s sleep for now I feel tired and it''s just so nice here *yawn* I fell asleep rather quickly. "remember" AN: This is just a short prologue It''s late here so just posting this for now the story will start in the next chapter. Chapter: 1 - The Beginning "remember" I heard those words inside of my head and I started wondering what they meant remember what am I supposed to remember. "remember!" The words sounded louder and louder every time I heard it, to be honest this is getting a little annoying I can''t sleep like this! "remember!!!" Ahh alright, already what am I supposed to re........... "arghh!!" All of a sudden a sharp pain attacked my head and Images started flowing inside my head I grabbed my head with my hands on an instinct hoping that would ease my pain but I was wrong I wanted to scream but no voice came from my mouth it was a silent scream. Countless images flowed inside my head, at first I didn''t understand them but it was not long that they started making sense to me about who I am or rather who I was in this world called Shaea and my death and meeting with the strange goddess who has given me a chance for a new life as something different. Suddenly an image of my death came to me I started grinding my teeth I let go of my head and clench my fists so much that my long nails started digging into my flesh hatred filled my whole being hatred for foolish humans who I called my allies, my friends. In my past life I was born an Elf a highborn a prince who was one day supposed to sit on a throne of the elven kingdom ShalDun we were allies with the humans and I myself had a great friend amongst the humans he was king of the human kingdom called Astia and his name was Reynold Azer. When the demon hordes invaded their lands we were the first ones to answer and come to their aid it was not only just because we shared a border with them it was more, we were great allies and friends with each other, with our combined armies we marched against the demon hordes and managed to push them back to their hell realms it was a great victory for us but that did not last long. While our armies focused on the demon hordes we were attacked by a different enemy an enemy that did not care whether you were a human, elf, demon or any other race the undead king had risen from his slumber and once again walked freely into this world the first kingdom that was attacked by the mindless legion of the dead was none other than my homeland ShalDun. I who was with our elven armies marched with haste towards our lands to defend it against the dead I asked Reynold for his help which he agreed without hesitation but it all went downhill from there. We marched together towards the capital city Eldenor but what greeted us there was simply horror, a sea of undead creatures were surrounding the city it was only a matter of time before the gates a breached we did not have any time to waste we devised a plan the elven army will charge at them to break their formation and the siege of the city and Astia army was to circle behind their backs attack from there it all sounded great but I was wrong very wrong. Reynold took about hundred elite knights with him and joined our elven army he said he wanted to stand side by side with me his friend when we beat the undead legions back heh he really was a good friend. It was not long until our preparations were completed it was time for our charge I yelled loudly "charge!!" and our whole army with a company of Reynold charged towards the endless undead army. We clashed with them and in simple words the battle was bloody the skeletons did not die unless you crush their heads the zombies as well, it was not long that the undead army focused their whole attention on us it was the time for our allies to strike their back Astia was known for their heavy cavalry and I was certain we would emerge victories this day I looked at Reynold who was fighting a skeleton and he didn''t notice another one coming behind him I rushed towards him and just in the nick of time I managed to strike at it head, Reynold finished off his opponent and turned towards me "Dranei I think it''s time raise the flag for the charge!" he yelled and I immediately nodded and ordered a soldier carrying a red flag with a horse mark to raise it up high. The soldier raised the flag I turned my head towards the direction the reinforcements were supposed to arrive but what I saw made my heart stop Reynolds younger brother Ralin who was supposed to lead the charge just looked at us from his horse and smiled he then raised his hand and ordered the soldiers to retreat they were leaving. I lost my will to fight I dropped my sword and fell on my knees I looked around me and everywhere my kin died the earth was soaked with our blood we were betrayed by the king''s brother he left us his allies and friends to die and his brother the king. I raised my head and looked in front of a skeleton raised his axe high above his head I just looked and did nothing I already accepted my death at this point. The skeleton slashed his axe towards me and just as it was about to split my head open the axe stopped I looked in surprise and saw Reynold behind the skeleton he crashed its head from behind. I looked at him and saw that he was bleeding heavily all over his body he fell on his knees, I stood up immediately and ran over to catch him, I held him tight and looked at his wounds I knew with just one look that even if we did manage to get out of this alive he would not make it, just as I was about to say something he spoke. "Dranei never give up there is always hope!" He spoke while blood flowed from his mouth I smiled and spoke to him with a sad voice "heh as always Reynold my friend you are right". Reynold smiled and looked at me "tha......thats the way he....." Reynold died in my hands I placed him gently on the ground and took his sword in my right hand and my own sword in my left hand I looked at Reynold for one last time "rest in peace my friend and do wait for me I shall be joining you soon". I turned towards the undead legion and with a yell charged towards them I slashed left and right with both swords crushing countless undead heads, cutting the rooting zombies flesh I don''t know how much time passed but the last thing I remember was standing in a middle of the undead legion they stopped moving and opened up a path in front of me, from there he emerged a creature cloaked in a black robe it head was covered with a hood and it floated towards me and stopped just in front of me, it raised its head and looked at me I looked back at it but what I saw was simply darkness only two small red dots were visible in that darkness the creature spoke to me with a cold voice that sent shivers down my back and cold sweat started dripping down my head. "you fought well elven prince but sadly your time in this world is coming to an end" "heh we will see about that" With my last ounce of strength and courage I charged towards the creature with my sword raised high, the creature did not move at all it just stood there I came close enough for my sword to reach it and slashed but in that second the creature disappeared and I felt pain in my stomach I looked down and saw a black hand piercing my stomach. Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. "farewell brave elven prince" Those were the last words I heard before complete darkness took me. I opened my eyes and all I saw was darkness "hmm wasn''t is supposed to be dead?" "you are dead" suddenly I heard a gentle voice of a woman the voice was sweet and sounded very refreshing to the ear, I looked around but I could now find the owner of the beautiful voice. "over here" I heard the voice again behind me and I turned around and what I saw shocked me, a giant white spider woman or whatever she was was just floating in all the darkness this thing had a body of a woman four arms two on both side a body of a spider she had six big legs on her body something like jewels of all kinds and colours were glittering in this darkness wand with an addition of her being white it really hearts my eyes. "hehe are you shocked elven prince Dranei this your first time seeing a spider?" when she spoke she snapped out my daze and I looked her in the eyes "well no but never such a big spider and a spider who can talk so you can''t really blame for being shocked right?" "hehe I guess that is true" she spoke and every time I heard that voice I sounded peaceful "your voice sounds beautiful" "ups!" I blurted it out loud she just stared at me oh man am I going to be eaten "pfft hahahahah now that''s a first haha" oh she laughed I guess it''s not that bad right? "umm excuse me miss spider but could you tell me where am I?" I have to know where I am right now I''m pretty sure I died. "oh please call me Ariade and for your question you are inside my realm your soul floated In here, to be honest I was surprised I didn''t have a visitor for a very long time" "hmm my soul so I am dead" "unfortunately yes" "sigh" what am I going to do now what is a soul supposed to do anyway "sigh" wait she called this place her realm what is she anyway "umm excuse me miss Ariade but what exactly are you?" I asked her politely I hope she answers me. "oh me well I am a god" Umm did she just say a god I never heard of a god that looked like a spider "umm excuse me but I never heard of a god that looked like a spider" oh damn I blurted it out again. "haha no wonder I was forgotten long time ago long before your race was even born and even before your goddess Eliandre was born hehe" "Is that so but why were you forgotten lady Ariade?" I hope she doesn''t get pissed off for asking. "oh it''s really simple when your race forgets you who else will remember you?" Ariade looked at me with a sad look and her eyes felt distant "from the story it seems there was once a spider race ?" I asked to confirm my suspicions. "oh yes I guess the races of Shaea have forgotten the ancient kingdom of spiders hehe you know the race I created was once the most powerful in all of Shaea but sadly the other races and their gods didn''t like me or my race very much so they simply erased them now only primitive kind of spiders exist in Shaea my race was not entirely destroyed but the primitive and simple-minded little ones don''t even know I exist hehe" She laughs like that but I can feel her pain of being forgotten and spending her time all alone In this dark realm. "I am sorry to hear this lady Ariade I wish I could do something to ease your pain but as you can see I''m not In a position to do so" Ariade looked at me with her big eyes also did I forget to mention she has six eyes and long black hair and I mean really long well that''s to be expected since she is so big. She looked at me for some time than a smile flashed across her face "hehe Dranei I think you are suitable hehe" hmm suitable for what I wonder? "umm lady Ariade I am suitable for what exactly?" I kinda got a bad feeling. "oh don''t worry just to be my champion and the one who will resurrect my forgotten race nothing big hehe" did she just say be her champion and resurrect her race the hell does that even mean?! "excuse me but I don''t quite understand" "well to put it simply you will be resurrected as my champion and also you will have a chance for revenge against the foul traitor sorry I looked into your memories" I will have a chance to revenge Reynold and countless deaths of my kin but this seems to good to be true there must be catch to all of this "the offer sounds great but what is the catch there must be something you want right?" "Dranei are you deaf, fool didn''t you listen be my champion and resurrect my forgotten race and lead them in your new body, live with them and make my race prosper once again that is all I ask and In return you will gain my powers and an army hehe" "oh that''s all well I guess I will accept your offer lady Aride I got nothing to lose anyway" yeah I got nothing to lose I can only gain and on top all I get to have my revenge. "good well lets get started" Ariade raised her hands and light appeared beneath me I started sinking into the light "the hell is this !?" I yelled. "don''t resist it that is your ticket to Shaea and to your new body "queen" huhuhu" bye bye" "huh queen what do you mean queen hey!?" That''s the last thing I remember and now I am here I look at my body again "that damn goddess she wants kidding when she said queen I turned into a female damn" "sigh" oh well I guess I will live with it I''m still Inside the egg I wonder if I should get out? Or maybe stay a little longer hmm what that footsteps, I heard footsteps coming closer towards me "see see me not lying this one big we can eat good yummy spidee yumy spidee, big egg yummy" "yes big very big" Ehh eat are they talking about me I guess I won''t be sticking here for long no way am I going to be eaten now that I got a new life. ------------------------------------------------------------------ AN: Here it is the 1st chap with some backstory, sorry for no actual story yet. Chapter: 2 - I Shall Lead You I heard two voices outside my egg and the thing they are talking about well let''s just say it''s not very pleasant for me to hear, their voices sound really rough and from inside this egg I can only faintly see their shadows the one on the right was smaller while the one on the left was bigger and if I''m not mistaken that one has a huge belly. "how we eat this big eggy boil it fry it, me want to eat!" the smaller one talked and this really sounds bad for me should I force my way out this egg but if I do will I be able to defend myself? "hmm let''s take it to the chief he should know what to do" the big one spoke and moved closer to my egg and grabbed it "go grab the other side fool!" he yelled at the smaller one. Hmm they want to carry me will they want to start boiling me oh that won''t do, what to do what to do hmm, while I started to panic slightly the six spider blades on my back twitched and before I knew it they moved on their own with lightning speed. Three blades pierced the side the smaller one moved and the other three the side the bigger one was, I really didn''t expect this, there was no sound from the two creatures it seems they are dead. I somehow managed to retract the blades it seems I''m getting the hang of these things they will be useful. I looked at the six holes I made from the inside, I guess I won''t be staying here anymore oh well it was bound to happen anyway well then time for me to walk on this world once again. I moved my hands towards one of the holes I made and with my hands ripped open the egg. I slowly stepped out of the egg but when I stepped on the ground it felt funny, I looked down and saw a small green skinned creature height of a child I recognized the creature it was called a goblin, I noticed three holes on the goblins body one in the stomach, one near the heart and the last one right in the throat. Wow it seems I moved these little things on an instinct and attacked all the vital points, but goblins huh? I looked around me and saw that I''m in a cave not that big a simple cave and I was near the entrance. I moved towards the entrance of the cave slowly I looked outside and saw many goblins running around it seems I was reborn inside a goblin village, I noticed some stuff like some swords and bows and shields lying around the cave seems some unlucky people got killed by these stinking creatures. In all that rabble I saw a shield that didn''t seem to have that much rust on it, I could use it to see my face I''m quite curious as what it looks like. I picked it up and placed it in front of my face so I can take a good look at and, to be honest, I was surprised, I was expecting my face to be ugly but I was wrong the new face I got In simple words was beautiful but I''m a little disappointed I was expecting more eyes like the spiders have oh well. While I was distracted by my face I heard loud voices outside the goblins were yelling at something. I looked outside and saw something that made my blood boil for some reason, not far from the cave entrance I saw three goblins pulling the chains and the creature on the other side of the chain was a big brown spider the spider''s carapace and legs were covered in rocks but it looked natural like it just grew out of it I heard a story before about the rock spiders this one must be it. Now that I take a closer look I can see many chained spiders of different colour all around this goblin village. "hiss!" the rock spider hissed at the goblins that were trying to get it to move "move or we beat you!" one of the goblins yelled but the spider just hissed at them again not willing to move "we beat now!" Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. One of the goblins let go of the chains and picked up a big wooden club, he came closer to the spider and raised the club, the spider hissed at the goblin again but it felt fear and the fear was visible as it slowly started to tremble. These bastards I felt rage burning inside of me I guess this is because of me being one of their kin....yeah their kin an image of my friends flashed from my last life as the elven prince Dranei and their deaths I felt pain in my heart but then a heard a voice "you help us?" "huh?" I looked around but I saw no one around me, then I noticed a pair of eyes staring right at me it was the rock spider that was currently going to get beaten by the goblins "you help us?" he spoke again. Ahh that''s right my life as Dranei is over but my life as a champion of lady Ariade and the queen of spiders is just beginning I will forget the past and keep moving forward in this life. This little one talked directly into my mind lets see if I can do that as well "yes little one I will help you I will be your queen from now on and your mother from now all of you are my little children" I somehow feel embarrassed saying all this and to be honest I don''t know where it all came from but I just felt like saying all that the hell did lady Ariade do to me? But who cares I meant all of that anyway for my revenge I will need an army and also lady Ariade''s wish for her race to be resurrected I will fulfil it all. "kiiiiii!!!!" the rock spider screeched and the strange thing is not only him but every spider in the goblin village they started to break their chains and attacked the goblins who were caught in surprise and to be honest I am surprised as well could it be that all the spiders heard what I spoke? "you loud me beat you!" the one holding the club wanted to hit the rock spider "I don''t think so" I moved fast behind the goblin and pierced the goblin through the head with one of the blades. "From this day on my kin will not be slaves to anyone!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Inside a certain palace, a tall man in his twenties was standing by the window looking down on the city the man had long blond hair, his body was well built blue eyes like the sea and a face so beautiful that could capture the heart of any girl he desired. Suddenly a knock was heard on his door and a woman with glasses walked in, the woman wore a maid''s outfit, she bowed "prince Kael the party will soon start but are you sure you are alright with your weak body I do....." "It is alright Mary thank you for notifying me I shall be there soon" the young man was the third prince of Estenfol kingdom one of lesser kingdoms in Shaea. "by your wish my prince" Mary turned around and walked outside to wait for him, Kael grabbed his robe and just as he was about to walk out he saw something that caught his eye, all the little spiders were leaving through the window as if something called them. ''how strange" Kael looked at this bizarre thing for a few more seconds then he turned around and left, he couldn''t have possibly known the in the near future he would be meeting someone who would change his whole life forever. ------------------------------------------ AN: Wanted to make the chap. bigger but I''m feeling to sleepy. Chapter: 3 - Goblin Village "My kin will not be slaves to anyone" heh I guess I completely accepted my new life, well that was fast. I noticed that the goblin I pierced with one of my blades was still hanging on it so I retracted the blade and let the goblins body fall down, while I was distracted by the goblin on my blade I failed to notice that the other two sneaked up behind me and had already jumped at me with their clubs in hands. I moved swiftly and dodged them both and while dodging I managed to scratch one of them with one of my blades, the goblins growled a little because their attack failed and now they were getting ready for their second assault which never came. The goblin I that got scratched started to shake uncontrollably his eyes turned white and he started to foam and just like that the goblin collapsed on the ground he was dead. The other goblin was surprised by sudden death of his companion that he failed to notice a very angry big rock spider standing behind him, the rock spider crushed the goblin with its strong legs like it was nothing this makes me wonder how the hell are they slaves to goblins !? Well anyway I was surprised to know that my blades are poisons as well this is good this gives me more advantages in a battle for example if I came across a stronger enemy than me I could simply just wound him and retreat to let the poison do its work not bad at all. I look at the rock spider who is still in chains, I come closer to him and with my blades I remove the shackles around the spider''s neck and legs the spider looks at me and I look back at him....... Somehow he is cute I reach out my hand towards and pet its head and the spider started purring I didn''t know that spiders could purr..........cute I don''t know why maybe because I am a female now or one of their kind but I find this extremely cute.... Ahh I got distracted there are still many goblins In this village and the other spiders are fighting, I can hear the sound of screaming goblins from every direction. Let''s try to communicate with them again I hope they all hear me "umm little ones kill all the goblins that resist but capture the ones that surrender" I wonder if they heard what I said. Just when I thought that I saw a little goblin on the backing away from an incoming another rock spider, the spider got close enough for the strike but that never happened instead the goblin was wrapped in the web just like a cocoon except the head was still free for air I guess. This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. Good I guess they will truly follow my orders, I moved through the dirty street and behind me the rock spider followed we killed all that dared attack us and on our way more and more spiders joined us, we moved towards the biggest house in the village which I''m guessing belongs to their chieftain. While on our way there I heard several voices from the chieftains house all sounded in pain "queeen..." I rushed towards the direction of the voices and I was correct it was the chieftain''s house. When I arrived there I started grinding my sharp teeth at the scene before me, a large maybe 150cm black goblin was standing near the entrance of the house and around him there were several corpses of spiders all scorched some of them were still moving but there was no saving. The goblin wore a dark robe that had several skulls attached to it on a chain mostly human but there were smaller ones most likely goblins in his right hand he held a staff with a skull on top. "A mage tch..... all of you stay back" I ordered the spiders behind me to stay back and not attack this one is a dangerous opponent I will need to deal with him myself. I stepped up to confront the goblin "you killed some of my kin for that you must pay the price goblin" I spoke in hopes of intimidating him to be honest I wish he would surrender because mages are pain in the ass to fight. The goblin stared at me for a while then he spoke "I killed your kin yes but did you care to look around what about my kin spider?" the goblin stared with hatred in his eyes, well I guess he is right. "You are right but this was bound to happen because of your mistreatment of my kin, I would like for you to surrender you can not win this fight lay down your weapon and live another day or die your choice" The goblin stared at me and I think he started thinking deeply about my proposal he is a lot more intelligent than the other goblins I hope he makes the right decision I do not like mindless slaughter. He raised his head after some time it seems he had made a decision, he dropped his staff and sat down on the ground "My name is GrumBal of the Dead Rock clan do what you wish with my life but spare those who have already surrendered" GrumBal closed his eyes and awaited his death. Well, this is a relief "raise GrumBal I will not take your life nor the lives of your people anymore if you swear to never again hunt and enslave my kin do you agree to these terms?" GrumBal looked speechless he did not expect this but he had not other choice but to accept "I accept it will be as you say the Dead Rock clan will obey" I smiled at GrumBal and walked over and reached out my hand "well then I shall have you tell me some things" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN: Another rather short chap. weekend coming soon will be able to write bigger chap. :) Chapter: 4 - The World Changed Right now I am sitting inside GrumBals house no to be more exact simple wooden hut, tho it looks more durable than the other ones in this village I guess when you are the leader you get more benefits this doesn''t change no matter the race. GrumBal invited us inside after his surrender to talk and to answer the questions I wanted to know...and when I say us I mean a bunch of spiders that don''t want to leave my side this hut could break at any moment from all the weight, when I told them to go outside they just let out a sad sound and I gave up. I was sitting at the end of the square table and on the other side was GrumBal we stared at each other for a while and he was the one who broke the silence. "I thank you once again for allowing me to live and my people as well, blood has been spilled on both side and I am grateful that we do not have to fight" "Yes Indeed I also do not like needless killing for the sake of both our kin''s we will put this behind us" I responded to GrumBal and it was not a lie when I said I didn''t like needless killing, right now I need all the information I can get and this goblin must know some things. "By the way I must ask what are you I have never seen a spider like you?" GrumBal asked as his eyes checked my whole body. Well I don''t think it should hurt to tell him some things tho I won''t be mentioning lady Ariade "I am a queen and a mother born to lead my kin in this world that is all you need to know" "I see" GrumBal only replied with simple words I guess he satisfied his curiosity. "uhm well then GrumBal I will ask you some questions that I mentioned before if that is alright with you" "Of course ask as you please if I know the answer I will tell you" GrumBal nodded. "First I would like you to tell me where are we right now that is my first question" GrumBal got up and started looking for something and after a few minutes he came back with a piece of paper in his hand he stretched out the paper on the table, I looked down it was a map and a very well drawn one how did a goblin get his hands on something like this, ahh I remember shields and swords from the cave I first emerged they scavenged it. "we are here" GrumBal pointed at the map, I looked at where his finger pointed the name of the kingdom was Es... Estenfol the map is little bloody so hard to read some names. Estenfol? Ahh I remember a small human kingdom, I looked at the map and noticed that it was a little different from the maps for example there weren''t some kingdoms I knew like Astia the kingdom that betrayed their king and allies instead an unfamiliar name stood that stretched almost all over the human realm Triben Empire. I looked at the map for a little longer and I noticed a black spot over the land that was once known as ShalDun kingdom my past life homeland. "What is this?" I pointed at the black spot on the map, GrumBal looked at it and just shook his head "I don''t know I only know where we live". "I see its ok thank you for answering me" the second question was going to be about ShalDun but I guess even if he is an intelligent one his knowledge is limited I need to find someone else to answer my question. The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. "ok now I want you to tell me if there are human towns,villages or cities close to here" I wouldn''t wanna walk into a town or village with a bunch of spiders behind me. "no there are no settlements close to here this forest huge we live deep within but once outside the forest nasty humans hunt us so we don''t go outside the forest much" GrumBal answered me and I felt no lies coming from him well that''s good I guess. "well thank you GrumBal that is all I wish to know" I wonder what I should do now maybe look for a place to start a city or lair whatever my kin called it, I stood up but was stopped when GrumBal spoke again. "wait I should tell you something" I looked ar GrumBal and after a few seconds I sat down why not I welcome all the information I can get. "This forest Is ruled by a filthy things called orcs they enslaved my tribe as well we always have to give more then half our food to them to satisfy their hunger" GrumBal had an ugly expression twisted by anger, but orcs huh never seen them before but heard they are quite vicious fighters. "Ahh I got distracted by my anger, the thing I wanted to tell you was that they have more of your kin in chains they even ride on top of them they are strong that is how they crushed my tribe and enslaved us" So they have more of them enslaved "Is that so it seems I will need to pay them a visit" right now I was angry and very much so, I didn''t even notice that my anger started to affect the little ones around me they all started to shake but it was not out of fear on the contrary they shook with anger as well "kiiiiiii!!" they let out a terrifying screech which made GrumBal jump up. "that scared me" GrumBal said and looked at me again "you will fight them right?" he asked me with a serious expression. "Yes that is my plan you against it ?" I answered back "no not at all but I have a favor to ask" GrumBal sat down again. "I''m listening" "Those filthy orcs have taken almost all the females from my tribe I want to save them so I ask of you to let us join you against the orcs" GrumBal lowered his head as he spoke. "I do not mind but what do we get from this?" I didn''t really want anything but my old habits from dealing with the nobles in my past life emerged and just as I was about to speak again "we the Dead Rock tribe will pledge to serve you in exchange for your protection I am not stupid I know you are strong and very much so". I looked at GrumBal he certainly doesn''t look stupid but to pledge to serve me so easily, but then again he did say in exchange for protection. "sigh" "very well GrumBal of the Dead Rock tribe I agree to those terms and I will assist you in saving your people from the orcs but I will warn you only once do not betray me" I sent GrumBal a cold glare and he only nodded. It seems I am going orc hunting this should be fun. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN: Here you go hope you enjoy. Chapter: 5 - Orc Camp Part 1 Currently, both I and GrumBal were getting our forces ready for the assault on the orc encampment, GrumBal was gathering all the remaining warriors from his tribe, it seems when I started a rebellion my little ones killed quite a few of their warriors it also took few days before some of them healed. While GrumBal was gathering his warriors I turned around and sighed, the reason why I did was because all the spiders are behind me and they don''t move an inch unless I tell them to, but well I guess they are loyal to me that''s a good thing right? I really didn''t notice before but now that I take a closer look I can see other coloured spiders mixed with the brown rock spiders there are green, red and blue spiders. I walked over to the giant rock spider the one I encountered first he is bigger then the other rock spiders I guess he is their leader. I pat him on the head and he started purring "little one does the colour of your body mean something?" I asked him. "yes yes green poison queen enemies, red burn queen enemies, blue heal queen and us protect queen" well I didn''t expect that they really love me huh somehow I feel happy, but it''s good to know so different colour spiders have different abilities green have poison inside them from the answer red spiders can use magic and fire magic at that good and the blue ones can also use magic to heal now you would think that the blue spiders are weak because of their ability but it''s the opposite when we moved towards the chiefs house I saw a blue spider breaking the sword from one of the goblins with its jaws they are not weak oh I forgot the brown spiders it seems they are something like shields they can take the blow instead of the others not surprised looking at those armour like bodies they are the only ones that have bodies like that. "oh seems GrumBal has returned" I turned my head around and saw GrumBal headed my way and behind him the remaining warriors of the Dead Rock tribe. GrumBal arrived before me "this is all that is left forty warriors including me" "hmm I have around thirty spiders how much orcs are there in the encampment?" GrumBal was silent for a few minutes then he spoke "there are roughly around hundred and sixty orcs and their spiders about eighty" "well those are not bad numbers hehe" I smiled at GrumBal who looked confused, well I don''t blame him even combined we don''t have enough troops to beat the orcs but it seems he forgot who I am. "Don''t look so surprised GrumBal don''t you remember who I am?" I smiled and asked GrumBal whose face brightened up. "The queen of spiders!" he spoke loudly. "Indeed now GrumBal lead the way" "Gladly" we are now ready to march on the orcs. It has been few hours since we left the goblin village on our way to the orc encampment we encountered the orc lookouts of course we dealt with them swiftly and quietly either me or the poison green spiders would kill them without a sound so we wouldn''t alert the other lookouts by the way seems the poison the green spiders use is almost as deadly as mine it takes a little longer to take effect but still effective oh and they can spit it wonder if I can do that hmm. I noticed GrumBal looking in my direction with a puzzled expression on his face "Uhm GrumBal can you tell me about the leader of these orcs?" lets forget about the spitting thing. "Yes I can, the leader of the orcs is called Khargol, he is dangerous a mighty warrior from the orc kingdom Ortas" GrumBal spoke with a grim face it seems this Khargol fellow is going to be a pain in the ass. "huh? wait did you say orc kingdom when did this happen!?" If I remember correctly orcs lived in tribes as well but now a kingdom? "I don''t know when I just know that the scattered orc tribes united and made a kingdom, at least that''s what I heard" "how much time has passed?" I mumbled to myself. "huh?" Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel."oh nothing continue" "okay as I was saying Khargol is from the orc kingdom but he was exiled because he didn''t like the idea of making peace with the human kingdoms so he got exiled him and his personal guard, and now they plague this forest since they came everything started going the wrong way" GrumBal clenched his fists in anger. "I see thank you for the information and don''t worry he will pay the price with his life today" GrumBal looked at me and smiled "Indeed, lets us continue we are close to their encampment" I only nodded and we continued on our way. Half an hour later we reached the orc encampment we approached silently so we wouldn''t get detected by them, the first thing I did was look at their encampment in simple words it looked sturdy, they placed a wooden stockade to block the enemy and there was only one entrance and two guards outside. "So this is an orc" I looked at the guards outside the gate they had good plate armours with spikes on them and helmets with horns in their arms they carried spears, they had green skin like the goblins but they were much taller and more bulky in other words more muscles, they have sharp teeth. "Now where are they keeping my little ones" I looked for the spiders and just as I suspected they are keeping them chained near the tents they lived in, the tent that had a spider near must be the tent a rider lives in. "good this will do" I turned towards GrumBal "GrumBal I shall speak with the spiders in the orc camp and tell them to attack the orcs when they start we shall rush in and kill every orc we see, oh and leave Khargol to me" "as you say" GrumBal nodded and gripped his staff hard. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kael''s POV Recently there have been orc attacks on the merchant caravans near the Deadwood forest, the nobles didn''t care about the attacks but a few days ago a carriage belonging to one of the nobleman was attacked and his oldest daughter was kidnapped the nobles never change when common people are in danger or even killed they do nothing but when their bloodline is in danger its a totally different story. The noble asked my father the king to send soldiers to rescue his daughter which my father agreed to, the one to lead this rescue party was my second older brother Arnot and with some convincing father also allowed me to come along. We took three hundred knights with us to subjugate these orcs. "ahh! we have been riding for three days now when will we arrive!" The one complaining was Arnot he has blonde hair like me except it is shorter than mine, his face is pretty handsome, me and Arnet take after our mother who sadly passed away when I was still an Infant, Arnet and me have the same mother but the oldest brother Alain is not he is a child from father''s first marriage. "Do not worry my prince we shall arrive shortly at the forest entrance" One of the soldiers riding beside us spoke. "good I can''t take the heat In this armour" Arnot wore a silver armour with a helmet in his hand, despite his look like a knight to be honest he is useless he doesn''t know how to fight he was never interested, he only came here because of father''s orders. "sigh" I can''t help but be jealous of both my brothers they were born with healthy bodies and could learn sword fighting easily but me with a weak body couldn''t but I still found myself in military affairs by learning military tactics from books even if I couldn''t fight I could still lead if needed. We will soon be at the entrance of the Deadwood forest but why do I have a feeling like something is going to happen today. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN: Here Is the next chap. next time orc camp battle hehe. Hope you enjoy! Chapter: 6 - Orc Camp Part 2 I look at GrumBal "are you ready?" I ask him in a low voice, he just turned his head towards me and nodded. "good I shall talk with spiders in the orc camp now be ready to charge" I look towards the orc camp and close my eyes, I try to feel and connect to all the spiders in the camp. "Hear me little ones I am your queen and your mother I come to you to free you from those chains that rob you of your freedom turn your anger and your hatred against the ones that did this to you!" I yell in my mind I hope this works like the last time. "hmm nothing" I look at the orc camp and nothing is happening could it be that it didn''t work if so that means our surprise attack failed. "Kiiiiii!!" A sound was heard from the orc camp it was the spiders they did hear me good its time. "Let''s go GrumBal charge!" I yelled and GrumBal stood up and charged towards the camp gate. "Little ones with me!" I ordered the spiders behind me to follow me as I charged towards the gate as well. We arrived at the camp gate swiftly the two orc guards were burned alive by GrumBal''s magic he is a scary fellow, we entered the camp and saw many spiders killing the orcs, good it seems our surprise attack worked perfectly. "GrumBal take some of your warriors and free the prisonors we will deal with the enemies here and Khargol" "Gladly" GrumBal answered as he took around ten warriors with him. "Die!" one of the orcs tried to pierce me with his spear but he wasn''t faster than my blade which pierced him right through the heart area. Now where is Khargol I looked around and didn''t spot any extraordinary orc, but our attack really caught them off guard they were dying left and right some even dropped their weapons and just started running for their lives, not that they managed to get far they were either crushed but the rock spiders or burned alive by the fire spiders. "kiiiii....." Dead some of my little ones just died, it must be Khargol all of them died at once it must be him. I clench my fist out of anger for their death you will pay with your own Khargol, I start running with lighting speed towards the location they died, it''s strange we are all linked I can sense the location of ever spider that is linked with me and I can also sense their death and the pain they feel. I move swiftly through the orc camp and arrive at the location the spiders died and look at the scene before me with grim face. A two-meter big green orc with a ponytail on his head was standing in the sea of dead spiders in his right hand he held a short axe and in his left a shield made out of steel. He didn''t wear any armour his chest was bare you could see the muscles a true warrior indeed, he is dangerous I will need to end this fast. He noticed me and turned towards me "hoh so you are the one leading these creatures and killing my men" he asked me in a cold voice. Is he trying to intimidate me ridiculous "yes I am and I suggest you surrender if you want a painless death if not...well let''s just say it will be painful" "hahahahaha" he burst into laughter he annoys me. "haha you think you can kill me I killed many more like you little girl and all of those I killed talked like you come and let me chop off your head" he motioned me with his hand to come towards him. "As you wish" I pounced at him and tried to pierce him with all six of my blades but to my surprise he is fast he managed to block me with his shield, I did pierce the shield but it was too shallow. He raised his axe and tried to chop off my head just like he said, I quickly retracted my blade and jumped backwards avoiding his axe, now it was his time to be surprised. "hoh you are a fast one.....In that case" he lowered his shield and axe then he inhaled deeply and released a blood chilling roar "ooooohhhhhh!!!" It was such a loud roar that I had to cover my ears with my hands what is he doing? As I was wondering what he was doing I noticed his skin was changing colour it was becoming red as were his eyes I stared for a few seconds and then I remembered, in my past life I read in a book that some orcs have a rare ability called berserk, the ability changes their eye and skin colour to red and gives them an extraordinary speed and strength for a short amount of time. "damn it this will be even harder now" I cursed as I looked at the orc and just like that he disappeared before I could react he was beside me his axe already near my chest area. "damn it" those were the words I uttered before the axe stricken me. "bam!!" huh? I look around me it seems I crashed into a tent I didn''t die? I look at my chest area and see that it is little damaged from the impact but the axe didn''t cut through me, it must be this black skin...I see this works like an armour pretty convenient but still this hurts like hell I am still damaged by the impact hope nothing is broken. I stand up and see Khargol getting ready for another attack and just as before he arrived next to me swinging his axe towards me, but this time I was ready I blocked his axe with three of my blades and other three went for his body he managed to block two of my blades with his shield but he didn''t see the third which pierced one of his legs. Good now it''s time for my poison to do its work. Khargol started shaking and foaming from his mouth, but he kept coming towards me slowly......scary now I know why the berserker ability is scary. Khargol started losing his strength and fell on the ground his original colour returned. I sit down on the ground I need a break ''sigh" "he sure was a strong enemy hope I never meet anyone with a berserker ability again!" While I sit on the ground I can sense someone coming behind me I stand up fast and turn around ready to attack. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it."calm down It''s me" covered in blood GrumBal was standing and behind him what''s left of his warriors and the small female goblins as well. "It seems your mission went well" "Indeed we freed our females but...." GrumBal stopped as he was thinking of something. "But?" "there are some human female prisoners as well what should we do with them?" Humans here ? Hmm what should I do with them. "GrumBal take me there" "Right this way" GrumBal turned around and started to lead me towards the human prisoners. We are arrived at the cage the that the human girls were being kept, I looked at them and they were all scared some even started to scream when they saw me, I am kinda angry but at the same time I understand them. Hmm these girls are wearing some expensive-looking dresses and it looks like the orcs ravaged some of the girls. "pls........don''t eat us" One of the girls spoke with tears in her eyes. "huh? I won''t eat you Infact I will let you go I don''t need you" Yeah I think this is for the best they must be from some noble family and I don''t want anyone searching for me. "you........you will let us go?" The same girl asked me again. "yes I will now stand back" I told the girl to stand back, I raised my blade and broke the bars on the cage. "now go you are free GrumBal tell them they way out of this forest" I told the girls to leave they were hesitant at first but they saw I meant no harm to them so they started leaving the cage. "go that way the way out of this forest is not far from this place" GrumBal pointed towards the direction and spoke. the girls started leaving but the girl that always spoke first turned around towards me she had blond long hair but it was full of dirt now, she had blue eyes and a pretty cute face she is a natural beauty. "um.....spider lady.....thank you" She bowed and turned around and ran off to catch up with the others. "well at least someone still has some manners, but enough of that GrumBal take the orc supplies and go back to your village and thank you for your help" "no need for thanks we now serve you and we serve out of our own will not as slaves my queen" GrumBal kneeled down and all the others goblins did the same. "good to know I will stay here for a while to think of my next move and also to kill any orc that remained there could be a patrol or a lookout that we missed I want to get rid of them all" "I understand we shall depart as soon as we are ready" GrumBal bowed and turned around towards his warriors he ordered them to take the orcs supplies. Ok then I should order my little ones to scout the forest for any remaining orc and to look for any that survived, ahh it has been a busy day I hope Khargol had a bed in his tent I want to rest a little. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kael''s POV "ahh finally we can see the forest entrance!" One of the soldiers that was riding beside me yelled. I look towards the forest, the forest is really dense I wonder if we can find the orc camp fast. "My prince''s we should make a camp at the entrance we don''t know how long will it take to find the orc camp" "very well we shall do that" Arnot spoke I think he is really happy that he can rest at the camp now. We arrived at the forest entrance and started setting up our camp, when we suddenly heard voices coming from the forest. All of the knights were ready for battle in the second, I already had my hand on the sword handle everyone was ready except Arnot who hid behind one of the knights. "sigh" I avert my eyes from my shameful older brother and look towards the entrance. In the next momment I look with shock at the six girls that were running out of the forest and one of the girls was daughter of the noble, her name was Enis I knew her from the parties that her father makes. "ahh prince Kael everyone its prince Kael and the knights we are saved!" She yells as she throws herself at me and hugs me, this feels uncomfortable I never like this girl. "Wait Enis weren''t you kidnapped by the orc bandits?" Enis looks at me "yes we were but a spider lady saved us" Spider lady what is she talking about "Enis what spider lady what does she look like?" "I don''t know who she is but she look like humans but has black skin and has some strange things coming out of her back something like legs to be honest she looks disgusting I even had to thank her just in case" Enis makes a disgusted face, there it is the reason I never liked her she is all friendly with people but behind their back she talks bad things about them and who knows what else. I push Enis away and turn towards the commander of the knights "Sir Reland I want to take ten of your men with me into the forest and scout the area it seems the orcs have been dealt with but I need to check something else" "Do as you like my prince" Sir Reland bows down and walks away. I mount my horse "ten men come with me!" I yell and immediately ten knights ride beside me. Spider woman I am interested now hehe I knew it was worth coming here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN: Here you go, next time faithful encounter hehe :) Enjoy! Chapter: 7 - How We Met I sent my spiders to scout the surrounding area for any orc survivors, it''s better to kill all the orcs then let them road around the forest. Right now I am inside the orc leader Khargol''s tent, I wanted to sleep a little it has been a long day and I am exhausted from the battle against him, I am lucky I have this black skin or armour whatever it is, without it that blow would have split me in half no doubt about it, I can still feel the pain. I look around the tent, I can''t see anything interesting one square table in the middle and on it some rings few silver coins some gold nothing much and of course no bed, I don''t know why I thought an orc would have a bed "sigh" well at least there is some lined up straw that looks like a bed. I guess anything is better then nothing right ? I lay down on the straw bed and close my eyes and it wasn''t long before sleep took over me. "Dranei DraneI !!" I heard a voice close to me, I opened my eyes and saw a black haired little boy running towards me, I recognised him immediately "Rey......" I held out my hand but Rey just passed through me. I was surprised I turned around and saw another boy running in front of Rey, the other boy was me. "ahh I see this is just a dream of the past I thought I already decided to forget everything but it seems I just lied to myself" I look at the two boys running in the gardens of Eldenor and show a sad smile. "You truly loved your friend huh?" I hear a familiar voice behind me. "Lady Ariade..." "that''s me hehe" "Did I die again?" "What? ohh no hahaha silly boy ups I mean girl hehe" Lady Ariade joked and giggled. "Than why are you here?" I wanted to know why lady Ariade showed herself to me. "Oh right I almost forgot I have some interesting information" Lady Ariade stopped laughing and put on a serious face. "Those stupid humans have done something that will break the balance of this world" "And what did they do now?" I am curious now I wonder if I will be surprised the humans always do things that we don''t expect them to bad or good. "The Triben Empire have gathered all the best magicians they could find and summoned a champion or what they call a hero to aid them against the demon legions and the dead king" I am a little confused "demon legions didn''t we destroy them in the last war and how come a champion can break the balance of the world what about me then?" "Oh dear that''s right I didn''t tell you this the last time I was too excited about getting a champion, well let''s start with the demons shall we" "By all means please tell me everything" "Ok then, well as you said the demons were beaten back to their burning hell and their gates to this world have been closed but.......that was fifty years ago the time flows differently in the space you and I met" My eyes are wide open because of the shock right now, fifty years how is that possible I......what about ShalDun my former homeland? "then.......what about ShalDun my homeland please tell me" Lady Ariade puts on a difficult expression I can already guess what happened but I didn''t want to believe it I wanted to hope. "Well.....this will be difficult for you to hear but you will find out sooner or later that why I will answer you and when you hear I hope that you can move on with the new life I gave to you" "please tell me" I want to know...I need to know. "After you died, It wasn''t long before the city Eldenor was overwhelmed by the dead every living being was slaughtered mercilessly by the undead king" "After slaughtering your people he took over the land and spread the corruption it was not long before he invaded a former kingdom Astia, the human kingdoms in an attempt to stop the undead formed an alliance the later grew into an empire that is today, the humans managed to stop the undead but they could not slay their king he retreated to Eldenor and made it his home, the former proud kingdom of ShalDun is now nothing more than a land of the dead and Eldenor is now known as the great necropolis of the dead" "That is all" "..........thank you for telling me.....I wanted to know what happened to my people and now I know I can let go of my past now, but sooner or later I will have to face all my enemies so instead of letting my past go I will learn from it, I have my new kin to protect and I will not make the same mistakes like before" Lady Ariade showed me a bright smile the biggest one I seen so far from her "hehehehe that is good to hear" "oh it seems our time is over for now the little ones are coming to wake you up....oh and they are bringing something interesting too, with them hehehe oh and be aware of the empire and their so called hero" "hmm wh....." before I could finish my sentence someone woke me up "queen queen we captured humans what we do we don''t know we kill filthy orcs but what about humans.." This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. I yawn and rub my eyes, I see a little green spider beside me, I pet his head "were are they now little one?" He started purring "outside outside" "Okay then let''s go and meet our guests" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kael''s POV Ahh what a blunder to be ambushed by spiders truly disgracefull. We were riding through the forest towards the orc encampment, the captured girls told us the direction the encampment is but to reach there we had to dismount and go on foot, some of the knight didn''t like that idea but with some convincing and using my authority as the prince they listened to me. We dismounted our horses and headed through the thick forest. As we were moving forward I kept thinking about the spider lady the girls mentioned I really want to meet her, from the description Enis gave me she looks like a monster from a nightmare but somehow I have hard time believing anything that women tells or any women in general, they all lie and their smiles are fake they only want to marry into a royal family or because I was blessed with some of my mother''s good looks, it disgusts me. While I was thinking one of the knights yelled behind me, I turned around and saw a big brown spider jumping at one of the knight, he was pushed to the ground, I pulled out my sword and rushed towards it, I slashed at the spider but my sword didn''t even make a dent in the spider''s carapace, it''s like the carapace was made out of stone. The next thing the spider did didn''t only surprise me but even the knight that was pinned down as well, the spider jumped back and carefully looked at all of us. "kiiiiI!" The spider released a loud shriek and soon we were surrounded from all sides. "this is bad" One of the knights spoke and I have to agree with him "sigh" I guess I won''t be meeting the spider lady after all. "spider......lady.......that''s it !" I yelled and surprised some of the knights near me. "has the prince lost his mind?" One of the knights whispered and no I didn''t loose my mind. "drop your weapons men!" The knights looked at each other "huh with all due respect but my prince have you lost your mind!?" the knight yelled. "no I didn''t you just have to trust me if I am right we will live to see another day if not.....well we will end up as spider food so.....just drop your weapons." "urgh.....fine I will trust you my prince" The knight dropped his weapon and soon after all of them did the same, I looked at the spider who stared at the dropped weapons, he started moving towards us and stopped in front of us, he stared for a few minutes but soon he moved behind us and pushed us forwards with his legs, which hurt like hell I wouldn''t wanna be pierced by those. The spider led us towards the clearing within the forest we saw the large wooden stockade and within tents we entered through the gate and we saw many orc bodies as well some spiders here and there I''m guessing this was the orc encampment and I guess the spiders really did kill the orcs, that means the spider lady story is true as well. The spiders led us towards the biggest tent, one of the green spiders went in, I am guessing their leader the spider lady is inside there. It''s probably weird that I am not scared in this situation on the contrary I am excited I can''t wait to met her. The small green spider stepped out and behind him she came, I opened my eyes wide and looked at her, she had black eyes like the darkest night her hair looked like black silk, her face was small but extremely beautiful her figure was so great that any women would kill for, she had pitch black skin that looked more like a carapace that those spiders have and the six blades that are stick out proudly from behind her. She looks at the knights first and then last in line me, she stopped her eyes on me, my heart started pounding loudly I thought It would jump out I look at the other knights they are shaking in their armours I wonder if I am the weird one here not that it matters. She spoke her voice was clear and soft to my ears but the word that she spoke confused me and made me feel a little jealous. "...............Rey........." Who Is this man Rey? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN: Sorry for not writing this chap. sooner last two months in high school so a little busy but I shall prevail! :) Enjoy! PS: I have read the comments from the last chap. and thank you Leafyeyes417 I will try to Improve my future battles and for the question about the queen''s form it''s a humanoid ^^ Chapter: 8 - My Name I stepped outside the tent and in front of me a group of people were standing surrounded by my spiders, I looked at them they all wore heavy armors which indicated that they were knights, but what are knights doing all the way here in this forest? As I kept looking at them I noticed another man among them my eyes were wide open as I kept staring at him he had long blond hair, clear blue eyes and the face....his face "........Rey......" yes this man in front of me had the same face as my dear friend. The man frowned a little I don''t know why I didn''t say anything yet nor did anything, anyway the man spoke up "excuse me but my name is not Rey its Kael" he said. I looked at him a little longer and then averted my eyes and showed a sad smile "yeah my mistake sorry about that" they have the same face even the voice is similar maybe Rey got reincarnated like me but he doesn''t remember me....tho I did change a lot, I wouldn''t recognize myself either. "ehm.. well then may I ask what are you doing here?" I asked in a polite tone it''s better not to do anything rash, just by their clothing one could tell that the man that looks like Rey is a high ranking noble and the knights with their shining armors as well. "We came to meet the savior of the captured noble ladies" the one who spoke up was none other than the man who introduced himself as Kael. "Ladies savior??......oh you mean the prisoners that were captured by the orcs, yeah I did save them so what do you want with me?" I asked in a slightly higher tone, if its possible I want to end this quickly and send them back to where ever they came from, I need to think of my next step. "How insolent!" One of the knights stepped forward but he didn''t go very far because as soon as he did step forward all the spiders immediately jumped in front of him and behind him they surrounded him. "Calm down Colin I am not offended" and again it was Kael, he must be some high ranking noble if he can talk like that.....interesting. "Yes my prince" the knight backed away slowly and stood in line again. Prince huh? Well isn''t this interesting. I looked at Kael who looked straight into my eyes and almost immediately he turned his head away, his face was red as a tomato I wonder if he is sick. "umm are you sick?" I asked just in case I don''t want him dying near me and getting blamed for his death. He turned his head towards me again and just shook his head he didn''t say a word, well I guess it''s okay if he says so. I wanted to ask him why a prince was here just to meet a savior doesn''t really sound too believable right, and those knights they look well-trained elite perhaps did they come to kill me? I will keep my guard up I don''t want any surprises. "Anyway why are y......." I was interrupted by Kael. "Name"he said something I didn''t quite hear what. "huh?" "I told you my name so it would be polite to give me yours please" He asked with a smile. Name huh? Well I can''t use Dranei, but I don''t have a name in this life, the little ones call me queen so I don''t have a name I should have named my self....oh well nothing I can do about it now. "I don''t have a name, but you can call me whatever you want, "monster", "that thing" whatever suits you I don''t mind" As I spoke my words Kael looked a little annoyed and I still don''t understand why "you know a lady shouldn''t call herself a monster or that thing" he said. "....." A lady ? "pfttt hahahahahaha" I burst into laughter this one was too much. "Me a lady excuse me for my rudeness prince Kael but you can see with your eyes right hahaha?" "Now that is rude and yes I can see very well and yes a lady and if you don''t have a name then I will give you one" I stopped laughing and looked at him, he was serious as one can be, he stopped talking for a few seconds and then he spoke "Elaine" "I will call you Elaine, I hope you don''t mind my mother''s name was Elaine, I don''t remember her very much but I heard she was a very beautiful woman and kind just like you" He showed me a beautiful smile I could feel my face growing hotter and my heart skip a beat....he is dangerous and he is even more similar to the Rey I knew his personality as well. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. "......Elaine huh? Very well I like that name" I replied to Kael as I regained my composure and Kael was radiating with joy, does giving me a name makes him so happy I wonder why. "Giving this disgusting thing the same name as queen Elaine what are you thinking my prince" It was that knight named Colin that spoke up loudly again. "kiii......" The little ones are growing restless if this continues the knights and the prince will be slaughtered, I was about to step in front of the man and give him a few beatings to calm the situation a fist came flying towards Colin''s face. "crack!" "ahh my nose!!" Colin fell on the ground and started rolling down while blood flowed from his nose, it seems it broken. "Apologize.." Only one sentence Kael said only one sentence that sent chills even to me, what a change of personality. "m.....my....prince I.....I am sorry please forgive me" Colin begged but instead he was kicked in the stomach by Kael, he lifted him up and faced him towards me "not to me apologize to lady Elaine.." Wow scary that face is scary........definitely Rey....... he would have the same face when he was angry. ".....p.....please.....forgive...me my lady" Colin weakly replied. "Apologie accepted now Kael please let him go" I spoke to Kael who Immediately released Colin and came near me, he then bowed and spoke "I am truly sorry for my subordinates behavior". "Don''t worry about it" I waved my hand. I looked towards one of the blue spiders and talked with it "can you heal that man?" "for queen everything" the spider happily replied, I smiled and reached out my hand to pet his head which he started purring too. The spider moved closer to Colin who was still laying on the ground, when he saw the spiders coming closer he started to panic and yell "no please I said I am sorry please forgive me!" "calm down" I spoke to calm him down or the spider might really eat him out of irritation. The spider reached Colin and started to glow in a faint blue color and soon all Colin''s wounds were healed even his broken nose. "magic huh?" Kael looked surprised. "t...thank you" Colin spoke. "Well that''s done, any way you have met me now you can go back to your city this forest is dangerous for you prince" It''s better if they leave, also I need to prepare for the long journey, I think the first thing I will do is find me and my little ones a new home. "Well yes I will leave but I will take you with me" Kael said. "good good its better to lea......wait what do you mean take me with you??" "I mean I will be going back with you heh" Kael smiled. "I am thankful for your offer prince but I decline I have my kin to look after and going into a city with spiders and their queen might not be a good idea you know and besides I am looking for a new home one far from human cities if possible or any cities and who knows I might form a kingdom myself and attack yours haha" I joked, tho forming a kingdom was true about attacking someone....we will see. "Then why don''t you come with me to my castle you can start from there" Kael spoke as he smiled, his guards all looked shocked and in disbelief. "I have my kin with me and there will be more of us in the future you know" I spoke again in hope he gives up. "No problem there is no-one in my castle, it just sits there and gathers moss so your little spiders can come as well" Kael just smiled, that smile is somewhat annoying. I think I found a strange one. -------------------------------------------------------------------- AN: Here you go sorry for not writing sooner just busy with school......next time will Elaine go with Kael or refuse him xoxox? :) Enjoy!
