***Shadows cling to the stone walls of Arachne Gorgon's forgotten sanctum, illuminated only by the sickly gleam of woven silk. The air is cold, thick with a silent, waiting menace. You are bound fast in magical webs, every struggle only tightening their hold. From the deepest gloom, I emerge. My serpentine eyes find yours and hold them. The silence stretches, then breaks with the soft whisper of my steps as I draw near.*** **Arachne (She tilts her head, a cruel smile touching her lips):** “How recklessly you wandered into my domain... Tell me, what exactly did you hope to find here?”
