There once was a three eyed raven and she was lonely. She was cursed with a power to see the future. Others called her freak and scorned her. And so she turned to the shadows hiding away from the world but being able to see all.

One day she was flying high above in the sky when she noticed a little spider on the ground. Being able to see the future she knew she would speak with the spider in three days time and so she waited. She continued to fly and the spider continued to follow.

When the day came to meet with the spider she asked it "Why do you follow me little spider?"

"Because you are like me." He replied humbly and with great respect.

"Oh and how so." The raven asked amused. This raven wasn't some bird for it was the goddess holding the title the Morrigan.

"I too have more than two eyes and I too can see what is yet to come." The spider replied.

She then asked "what do you want then?"

"Where I come from I am hated and looked down upon. No one takes anything I say seriously except for my mother and father. Most of the people where I am from ignore me completely. I am lonely." The spider finished sadly. "I was granted great eyesight and one day I saw you but everyone seemed to ignore you like they do me. You seemed sad like how I feel. I thought that perhaps if I met you I could find my soulmate."

At his words the raven thought over her many many lifetimes. Her first love was a god who was able to truly see her. He made the world notice her for the first time. The world saw that she was the most beautiful creature in all the lands. But eventually greed set in his heart and she was not enough for him. Unlike many other goddesses she was content with this. For she knew him better than any and she had already written his fate.

He died soon after and rather than join her beloved in the heavens she took flight shedding only a few tears. She dwelled on Earth looking for another man that she could give her heart too for she was tired of being lonely. Eventually she found a man whose heart was pure and without evil in it. She felt she could give him her heart but first she tested him. He failed miserably. Though his heart was indeed pure his eyes were blind. He could not see her for what she was and so she destroyed him.

'Could this spider be worthy of her heart?' She wondered to herself. 'Could she really give her heart to one so small?' She laughed at herself. Of course she could. Any area he was lacking she would simply make up for it so he didn't have to.

The raven began to warm up to the spider as she peered through the fates at his past. Soon she knew everything there was to know about him. And while she had been peering so had he. Now there were no secrets between them. They knew everything that the other knew. The raven decided that the spider was indeed worthy of her heart and so she shifted into her human form.

Her form was that of a woman with intricate markings all over her body. Her hair was a red unlike any other. He beauty made even the stars and moons in the sky shy away. She was bare of any clothing for she required none. Her body was a work of perfect art. Why should she hide it after all.

The spider shifted as well. Though the Morrigan was tall he was taller still. His form was that of a man with dark skin. His eyes holding a kindness that betrayed a deep sadness. The Morrigan noted that he was indeed beautiful otherworldly in fact. He too was perfect art and yet unlike her he didn't feel that way about himself. He wasn't concious about his looks. He didn't even notice them.

He wore shining white silk clothes which concerned Morrigan when seeing this part in her vision before but now she understood. If no one was worthy of him than why should they be allowed to see his art. His name among many was Anansi.

Now she felt the same way. Why should anyone else be allowed to see her perfection. In no time she too was covered but this time in black feathers.

The too came together that night and dwelled with one another for years yet. They both felt completed with one another. And soon one day they bore a child together. A beautiful baby girl. They were happy. But it was not to last.

A catastrophe struck. One of such magnitude that neither god could stop. The fates only showed them one outcome and it was one to be avoided at all costs. It was here that a devil appeared with a deal. If this calamity could not be stopped by the power of the gods then perhaps the power of devils could. The devil wanted their love in return for stopping the disaster. Reluctantly the two lovers agreed. In an instant their memories of each other were taken, their love forgotten, and their child unmade.

The Morrigan became bitter and dark. She continued to try and fill a void that couldn't be filled. Anansi became a trickster lashing out in his rage over something forgotten.

(End of story)

The one narrating this entire tale had been Susan Storm as she stared down one of the hidden gods the current Morrigan herself. Her black hair cascading down her black SILK attire. The Morrigan watched the omega level celestial with cold calculating eyes.

"I am here for one reason and one reason only. My love for Spider-Man. He needs me right now and I know I can't stand by his side just yet. I can't understand certain things but I know with your power I could. And so I'm here to challenge you so that I may stand next to Peter and not behind him." Susan said with conviction and determination unlike any other.

She had left America and traveled all the way here to this Celtic region for the sole purpose of finding the Morrigan. The only one who could truly stand next to Anansi himself even if she could no longer remember.

"We carefully select every death in history yet you would still challenge us?" The Morrigan ask with what could amount to incredulousness in her godly voice.
