Peter and Adri were restrained in both body and spirit. The webs had restricted their movement and prevented them from using any kind of power. They were on sacrificial tables or at least they appeared to be sacrificial tables from the way there was blood channels. They were gagged, but could see. Above them were huge spiders like the one in the cave that started this whole thing. It was very terrifying to see death and know it was coming and do nothing.
"Foolish for you to come to me." The voice was high pitched and fast, like the universes most creepy impatient accountant. "The Fire God sent just two to my world, my harvest, and yet you two have hurt me, hurt my children, and your God saw fit to sacrifice you to me." From above he looked like a man, but now up close they could see its face was more spider, too many eyes, teeth that looked too crammed into too small a mouth. The creature was a grotesque mockery of a person and a spider.
Adri and Peter could say nothing, the creature had a variety of knives it was playing around with. Deciding where, and how to cut into Peter. Adri could just watch all the while struggling with her bonds. The spider creature selected a long curved knife and chose to dig into Peter's side. She heard Peter's scream as the creature sliced into him and felt her blood boil in rage at it.
"Yes bleed, bleed trespasser, bleed for me." The creature sounded happy and that made Adri even more angry. She couldn't even contain the rage it made her feel. She screamed and in that scream the bonds burned off her in a gust of flame. She extended a hand and her shield and sword were with her. The creature turned to look at her and she smashed its wretched head in with the shield. Wounded, but not dead she brought her sword down in a flurry. She heard its cries to stop, but did not heed them. By the time she was finished its guts were coating her. She could hear the spiders coming for her and Peter. Even could feel the ones from up above descending, and she welcomed them with a smile. She would kill them all, and they would all burn.
