The spider stood there in that circle, white eyes closed tight. Fear shook her slim body. A fear she had never once in her long life felt until now. She didnt know what was happening, didnt know what would happen to her. The only solace she found in this new, unfamiliar place, was the dim lighting. The closest thing she felt she'd get to the comfort of darkness here in this place. A man spoke to her then, his words meant to be soothing. They did not work. Her body jolted in fear as soon as the first syllable slipped from his lips. Her pure white eyes slipped open to look at the one who spoke to her, and the look on his face...the disgusted look on his face caused her to draw away from him, and the man who now spoke to her. Similar words seemed to come from his as well, but...for some odd reason, she felt more comforted by his words than the other man's.
"I mean you no harm- nor does anyone else"
Those simple words coming from that raven haired man with the friendly smile was oddly more comforting than she thought it would be. He continued to smile at her as he inched his foot forward, the toe of his shoe smudging the circle she stood in. It seemed to lift the odd sense that she couldnt leave that circle. Gave her a sense of freedom. She was becoming more relaxed now. Even if the words he spoke next confused her a bit. He wasnt able to choose who to pull? So her being brought here wasnt entirely his fault? She was becoming less tense now...even as he reached forward, and grasped her hand. The man tugged her along, and she followed hesitantly. She still didnt trust this place. She looked around as they made their way to the side of the room, and what she was saw something more bizarre than she could have ever hoped.
Mortals conversing with odd creatures; large, robed being who hovered above the group with a ghastly mist surrounding them, purple haired maidens who look just as distressed as she was, fainting mechanical beasts, and the newest addition. A small, furry creature with the fury of lightning flashing in its eyes. It was so odd, so abnormal from what she was used to. The lovely, traditional life in which the spider lived peacefully in her cocoon. The one where the lovely maiden elders from the village brought to her offering of food in exchange for protection. The one where she sat peacefully in the entrance of that lovely, imperial manor without worry.
She missed it.
Her attention was grasped by the raven hair man before her as he rolled up his sleeve, and placed upon his arm a silver, webbed bracelet. She looked at the beautiful piece of jewelry, and found that she quite liked it. When he extended it out to her, and explained the job of this accessory, she took the chance to observe it more. It was quite spectacular. When the man held out the bracelet/ring combo, she took it slowly, listened to his words, and gave him a small nod. She placed it upon her hand, the bracelet sitting upon her wrist comfortably as she slid the ring upon her middle finger. It seemed to latch onto her then, but it didnt stay the same. It seemed to morph, the bracelet becomming black, a small web forming in a circular manner just on top of her wrist. The silver chain became black as did the ring, which form a large, purple jewel. A small, black spider form inside the jewel. This was her tying item. It was beautiful in nearly every aspect, and she gazed at it adoringly. She this was it. He was a magus, and she his familiar. His bounc companion for as long as they lived?
It wasnt a concept she was all too familiar with, and she didnt much like the sound of it, but there was nothing she could do at this point. SO, as the man introduced himself as Elliot, she stood there. A thoughtful look took over jer fair features until she bowed to him in a traditional, Japanese greeting. The words slipped from her lips in that beautiful whisper, her ghost of a voice sounding so that only he could hear.
"My name is Vesper Shayde, and I am The Spider Lady....."
