In the ruins outside the Griffon kingdom.
Daring Do was walking with Zecora and a suited up Kaine, "you know it's strange?"
Kaine then asked," My sister joining the rich herd with Deadpool?"
the pegasus blinked and looked to him, "No, Well I mean yest, but I was thinking the fact the griffons never were able to build cities grander then this!" she said pointing at the castle way larger then any modern day buildings around here.
Zecora held her spear and said," so this was their peak , what's the big beak?" she said smiling at the pun.
the explorer adjusted her backpack and rolled her eyes, "first oh so funny I forgot to laugh Second!" she kicked off some Vines and revealed a simple of a spider! " they said they didn't want to anger the spider! I don't think the Prancer are the first Spider totems on Equis!"
Kaine then dust off another part of the symbol stone to show it was broken, "yeah I don't think it's a spider!" he said picking up and placing in a stone that gave the spider a tail!
Zecora blinked as she asked, "Scorpion but all they speak of is the spider the spider!"
Kaine then adjusted his head as he dust off more of a wall to show what looked like a pony with the lower body of a spider!
Daring do smiled as she said," And that is what we are here to figure out! people A massive totem battle happened here! So to the temple!"
she said flying up As Kaine fired a web line and grabbed Zecora to carry her up faster where they came to what looked like the cracked open shell of a massive scorpion.
Kaine touched it and said," yeah that's proof of the scorpion but what about the spider?"
Zecora then point to the wall glowing with a spider system as Kaine's mask glow the same as did the eyes of the mares and Kaine said," the past it is showing us it!"
in the past the tribal Griffons were about to sacrifice one of their on to a scorpion god by way of using stone axes to cut off the head! When down the walls of the temple came the arachnoid.
Looked like an earth pony similar to Peter and kaine form the waste up! But with eight eyes and the lower body of a black armor plated spider! Kaine saw him and went, "Father!"
the arachnoid spoke up, "No ending of life is an offering! You will be punished for this if you continue! Or my name isn't Richard parker!"
the head priestess dressed in some Aztec outfit cut the head off making the spider look away. " if we where to be punished it would have happened long before you arrived demon now be gone!"
the spider crawled away jumping off into the high trees where he crawled along saying, "I am Richard parker! After my cover was blown hydra did something to me I arrived here Like this a savage spidermane! With this griffons killing one another! For some scoprion god!"
he crawled down a tree to a webbed up tunnel system he dug and crawled in to, "I was a trap door spider and I would hide here All the time! I tried to teach them but they won't learn!"
I had no idea where my wife was or how my son was doing, at least I knew my daughter was safe! That is when I heard it trees being knocked over and crawled out to look it looked like a building sized scorpion crawling towards the Griffon city.
I though of letting them deal with it themselves but then the sound of stone falling over changed my mind! As I crawled off.
In the griffon city the scorpion that looked like there god was destroying there city the priestess shivered the spider was right there god did hate them for it sacrificing lives and now he had enough and was being punished!
it was about to smash her underclaw but the spider jumped out grabbing her! It was at this point the sun was rising allowing the priest to be seen she looked just like Gilda.
The spider put here down, "I bet you regret the ritual clipping of your holly members wings now don't you!"
he then jumped in to it and in a moment the other arachnid roared and went to tail stab but Richard jumped back as he said," I would normally allow you to give them what they want! But there are hatchlings here that haven't done anything wrong! Can't have that!"
the bigger beast roared charging and smashing and going in for stabs but Rcihard was avoiding them he was quicker thanks to being smaller and he was climbing up a temple making it use the steps, " Come on!"
he then headed inside of it smiling as he used his legs to quickly dig a pit into the stone! He hid in it and lift up some of the rocks and spat webbing form his mouth to hold them out, "That should work Come on beasty!"
he said looking form a spy hole!
before long the scorpion was in the temple and in a moment he jumped out of his trap door and smashed right into where the legs claws and tail hooked into his underside.
Richard cracked it and crawled inside of it using his sharp spider legs to slash up the soft insides as he crawled around In side the shell with was hard. It was so tight , he honestly believed he would need to eat his way out to find the exit again!
so he too ka bit the scorpion was screaming in pain as the head priestess walked in to see Richard crawling out it's underside the beast dead as he said," it's done! I only did it as with great power comes great responsibility" he then jumped out the side back into his jungle home.
form that dayforward the Griffons would change.
the birds were packing up to leave changing the sighs of there temple speaking of the spider and leaving there weapons in the middle of down in a spiders symbol.
the head priestess then spoke," for years we worshiped the scorpion god but he was a demon, just using us for power by feeding it sin! The spider god tried to warn us but we did not hear his words!"
She then removed her headdress. "We will learn form this and remember what he tried to teach us and be protectors of others! Maybe then our sins will be repented and the spider will come back!"
As at this point the spider had not been seen!
the vision ended.
the three explores then walked off to a cave now free of webs and spotted the lower body of a spider exoskeleton with the bones of a pony torso with multiple eyes in the skull.
Daring Do blinked," … he most have lived just as long as a spider! And died shortly after his battle! … well this explains why the view the spiders as the second coming of there savior!"
Kaine nodded as he said," and now I know what I most do!"
in the griffon town as festival was going on dedicated to the spider with suited actors recreating a fight between the arachnoid and large beast. The scorpion one massive puppet with griffons under it.
it was then ever one stopped and looked up to there church tower there was kaine crawling down it! he and lead there history only fought in wars when they need to and came to those who's asked aid they where the most peaceful race here. He then said," you did good!" before firing a web line to swing off.
the girffons bowed and did a cross on themselves for they saw it! the spider had returned to them to told them they did what they should have.
Meanwhile.
elly was waving at it and said," Ok then join us next chapter for our next arc and also poll is now closed return of the crystal emperor was dead last the others were in a tie. I would have though the filizon attack slash no mares lands arc would have lost but oh well! See you next time same spider fanfic when ever the writer can get to us! You know real life and all!"
