\\ Get my pretty name out of your mouth \\
Had Thal ever mentioned how much she hated spiders?
At first, she hoped she was just imagining the little scurry of legs, the feeling of hundreds of eyes on her hunched form. Maybe the shadow in the ruby red glow was an evil spirit come to curse her again - which might have been preferred to the eight-legged monstrosities. Honestly, most things were preferred to the itty-bitty creepy crawlers, and she prayed (again) to Dygra in hopes that it wasn't what she thought it was.
She hastily lit an orb of flame in her bleeding hand, only to reveal the little devils crawling nearly on her hand. A jolt of electricity shot up her spine and she choked back a scream - because she would not scream. Biting the inside of her cheek hard enough to draw blood, she stumbled back into the water, grateful that they couldn't follow her there. And with a very 'relaxed' and 'elegant' departure (not panicked or desperate like the splashing suggested), Thal dove down into the water, taking refuge amongst the waves that were very spider-fee.
[FIN]
