since that disastrous meeting, Spider has been walking around as though in a daze, their stomach writhing with perpetual nausea. they feel hollow, carved out and choked up, a phantom blade hovering over their head and threatening to fall at any moment. cleaving themselves and their family apart.
it’s almost a relief when Bas calls, summoning them to his side. this is it, then: his final farewell. an exiting bow as he sets out to find his father. Spider answers immediately with their own affirming call, flocking to the beach at a brisk pace. it’s better this way, they think to themselves. better to make it as quick and painless as possible, like ripping off a bandaid.
of course, they’re not expecting the way their heart wrenches in their chest at the sight of him, agony pulsating through their very veins. they can feel the blade begin to fall as they approach, it’s lethal edge pressed decisively against their neck. “are you off, then?” they ask, trying to keep a casual tone. better for a swift clean cut, rather than a long, drawn out hacking. it’s the kindest end for both of them.
Spider has a male raven companion named Doomsday and a female snake companion named Lady Snakeskin. Assume they are present unless stated otherwise.
