Prologue: Female Spiders are dangerous
...
She was a lady at heart… that much was true. But at the same time she was also a spider. And when it came to the world of animals, female spiders were the most dangerous. Arachne considered herself a dangerous force. After all, she was the one who had created weapons. The mother of them. She who made herself an enemy of both Shibusen and the other witches in hopes of creating a new race.
And for that very reason, she had split up her soul into spiders to escape and live on to see what became of the world she had so much affected.
A reborn witch… that was what she was now. Thanks to the Madness, she was able to bring herself back to life in hopes of rising up against Shibusen. What she didn't expect was that boy being involved with Shibusen.
The moment she laid eyes on his figure, she was taken back. How could someone like her younger sister give birth to a boy such as him? Crona Gorgon. That was his name, she knew thanks to her years watching the world through her spiders.
She had watched as Medusa's child grew up and the struggles he had went through. She saw the way Medusa treated him and she was disgusted. His own mother couldn't even see what sort of a boy he grew up to be?
"It's not too late; I could give you my love."
She wasn't lying when she said that. It's true that Crona couldn't handle the love of a mother, but that wasn't what she had planned anyway. She could never be a mother to him. At the very least, Arachne was Crona's aunt. But since Medusa was never much a mother, then the same held that Arachne had never been much of an aunt.
She hadn't been there for him when he had needed it. She had only observed in a state of life and death. A dreamlike state, that's how it felt to have your conscience separated into thousands of spiders. She felt like she had been in a dream this whole time and she cursed at herself for not being there to help the boy.
But now she could.
If only she had let him.
Spiders are dangerous, female spiders more so. But a lady such as her also wanted a mate. She had never been an aunt to Crona. She could never call herself his aunt. So maybe she could be something else?
Her thoughts were cut off as the priest Justin appeared. He had stopped her loyal subordinate Giriko from decapitating Crona. True, she had only wanted Giriko to paralyze the child so that she may have taken him while the other children he had been with couldn't do anything but Giriko was always one to go too far.
Maybe the priest butting in had saved her some trouble of wiping up the leftover black liquid?
Either way, Crona was shaken from the whole incident. He seemed so cute when he acted scared. She hid her smile behind her spider web fan.
Giriko fought for a while against the priest, Justin Law, before she grew bored. With this many people around, she couldn't safely take Crona. Justin would have been an issue after all. No matter how much the spider wanted the fly, she would have to call it a draw today.
As Giriko rode away with her, she couldn't help but look back and see the golem attack the children and Crona defend them. He was noble too it appeared. Very interesting.
She was right to think this way, right?
A spider knows when she has found her perfect mate and this was it.
He was everything she could have imagined and more. "But he may be a little trouble. Being with Shibusen… Well no matter. It's better to have a challenge."
Medusa wasn't around anymore and no one would miss her. Now Crona was free to do what he had wanted. And Arachne was free to take the boy with her if only he would open up to her.
She wanted to make such a situation happen.
But how?
How could the spider ever hope to trap the fly if it never settled down to rest on her web first?
Let the Arachne/Crona goodness begin!
See you next chapter!
