Sokoya nodded and everyone went into the cave, but something was off... none of the Veynoma were coming out to hold them off, but why? The group marched through the cave, with Leo acting as the guide to make sure that they weren't lost. Occasionally they would hear a noise coming from a connecting part of the cave, but nothing would come of it and they would continue after that brief pause. Eventually the entire group made it to the center, where Orion was being held in a cocoon by the acting Venoma queen. "Oh... I'm sorry. Were you looking for him?" She pointed a leg in his direction before shaking her head. "That's not going to happen. He's an ally of the Endazi, so he must die. But be comforted... his corpse will feed our children, so he won't be a complete waste." Orion was able to hear this and mumbled something incoherent in response. "Give him back or we'll flood this entire cave system with undead!" Sokoya commanded, and the queen only laughed. "He'll be dead long before that ever happens!" Sokoya was silent after this, trying to think of something to do.

The queen of the Veynoma stayed quiet, looking at Orion as he struggled and tried to get out of his webbing. She ignored him for the time being and turned her attention towards Amara. "You really want to know so badly?" She crossed her arms. "Very well. The Veynoma and the Endazi were created by a devil named Il'kaalaski, and we originally were able to get along while our creator lived amongst us. But once he was killed, we... fell apart with each other and began to fight." Leo grumbled a few words under his breath. "Unless you are able to bring him back, there is no way you can make us come to peace with them." Orion continued to mumble and struggle, trying to give his thoughts but he couldn't.

(Thought it was your turn... my bad.)

Both Leo and the spider queen were horrified by this gesture. "Absolutely not!" The queen yelled. "We will not let our creator be tainted and ruined by the corrupting powers of necromancy!" She crossed her arms, not impressed. "She's right." Leo said, backing up the statement. "Unless Orion can truly revive him, then he will continue to rest in peace." A few of the Endazi and Lizardmen were starting to get restless. All of the stares from the Veynoma were wearing their patience thin.

Orion mumbled and strained once again, trying to free himself but it was hopeless, so he stopped and simply lied there. "I think we can agree that the humans are dangerous towards us, but still..." The queen shot a glare at Leo. "I don't think I can trust them." She crossed her arms, but one of her underlings whispered something in her ear and her face changed slightly. She sighed and looked over at Orion, before returning the gaze to Amara. "You said you wanted to come here to live... is there a place where you are living in right now? I... wouldn't be against seeing your home."

With a flick of the wrist Orion was taken down and freed of his webbed bindings. After wiping away a few of hanging threads, he gave the queen a look before walking over and stood by Amara. "Thank you." He whispered to her before looking up at the queen of the Veynoma. "I do indeed have a place where we... and a lot more... live in right now. We were originally here to try to achieve a second home in case the humans overran the dungeon we lived in, but..." He looked at Leo. "Now I feel like my negotiating skills are going to be strained to its breaking point with this situation."
