Amara looked concerned when he mentioned what was coming. She gulpped before she felt a shiver run down her back. She didnt like the idea of a spider human thing coming at them, let alone multiple. Shaking her head she tried to pull a determined look on as she kept her bow in her hand. "How do we defeat them" she asked. "Are they like spiders with natural outer armor, do they have weak points?" She remembered questions like this being asked with her training to help her find where she needed to hit. |

"Weak point?". Leo stopped for a moment to think about an answer. "Destroy their legs by any means necessary." Before they got close to the cave, Orion turned to Amara. "I want you to stay here, and if things get ugly, Sokoya will come back and call for extra help. We have no idea what they could be capable of.". He was firm in his voice: this was not going to be up for debate. Sokoya went along with Orion while Nikolaii went with Leo, ready for battle as they made their way towards the cave entrance. |

Amara didnt like the idea of Orion going off like this, but she knew she couldnt stop him. *Why do I feel like that towards him? Is it because he spared me* she thought as she watched him leave. "Be careful" she said, though she wasnt sure he even heard her. Amara's blonde hair was falling in her face now, coming out of her loose braid. She closed her eyes for a moment before she let them open again. "Let's be ready" she told the others who were still around her. |

"I will.". He looked at the undead that was guarding her, glaring at them and making sure that they weren't going to leave her alone, especially in a time as dangerous as this. With that, he walked with Leo all the way to the cave entrance, and sure enough there were the Veynoma, and a few were just as grotesque as Leo described them: a few of them merely had human heads whole having spider bodies, while others had a mix of human and spider bodies... Somewhat like a centaur in a sense. The Endazi we're on one side, standing off with the Veynoma and ready to kill them and drive them back into the cave. "You will not be able to hold us off forever you filthy skeletons!" One of them called out, and the Endazi replied with their own insults. After looking at both of them, Orion got the feeling that these had more history than Leo was letting on, but for right now he had to try to broker a peace or fight a new enemy. He stepped forward towards the front line and the Veynoma we're stunned by the newcomer. "So, I've heard that you've been fighting the Endazi for this place...". He started, before another one of the spiders stepped forward and interrupted him with "Those things having been keeping us in our cave for far too long now! They can't keep us in there anymore!". She proclaimed, and her fellow spiders gave out a cry of approval for her statement. Upon hearing this instant interruption, Sokoya slithered to Orion's side and played the intimidation game, making sure that they weren't going to do anything stupid. |

Amara gripped her bow tightly before she looked at the undead, worried about Orion. She wished she could help him, but for now, she had to follow his orders and stay back to be ready for the fight. *Please be safe* she thought. She didnt know why she was so worried about him. It was clear he could take care of himself. |

Orion stared for a few seconds at the Veynoma who stepped forward. After that he cleared his throat and began again. "As I was saying: I know that you two have been fighting each other for some time now, and although I am not going to discredit the previous history, I do want to earn you that while all of your attention is on the Endazi, humans have also been eyeing up this area for some time now, as Leo would attest..." The leader of the Endazi nodded with that statement. "The point I'm trying to get at is that we need to band together, otherwise the humans will wipe all of us out!". This floored both sides, with practically everyone objecting to that idea while Orion stayed still. "We'd rather die before we stand alongside them!". Leo protested, getting right in Orion's face. Sokoya guided a hand between the two and made sure it didn't get any more heated than that. "As much as I don't want to agree with those lesser humans...". Rather loud objections came from the Endazi at this slight. "I agree that a peace between the two is impossible." Orion sighed, realizing that it would nearly be impossible to get them to get along, but it wasn't his first rodeo. "Fine... What would it take for you two to get along?" |

Amara felt her frustration grow as she began to pace. She didnt hear any fighting, but it still didnt help her calm down. For all she knew, they had ways to kill quietly, and that's what she feard. *Come on Amara, Orion and Sokoya can take care of themselves. For all you know they trained like this all their lives* she told herself, hoping to help herself calm down. She closed her eyes and sat down before she started to meditate a bit, lowering her heart rate enough to finally relax while they waited. |

The next several minutes were filled with plenty of arguing from both sides, with Orion acting as a mediator while Sokoya acted as the looming threat, keeping things peaceful for the most part anyway. But eventually something had to give... however it wasn't how he was expecting. He had his back turned to the Veynoma, trying to keep Leo and the Endazi calm, however this was a bad idea as the spiders were done talking, and one of them shot a web and it latched onto Orion's back, causing him to be launched backwards towards the spiders. Sokoya whipped around and was about to charge, but the spiders already had him wrapped up and a blade was at his throat, making it clear that they weren't to be followed. Without knowing what else to do Sokoya rushed off towards Amara, knowing that she had some undead along with a few other monsters on teh trip, hoping that she would be able to rally them to get Orion back. |

Amara looked up when she heard someone coming close. She had hoped it was Orion, but her heart stopped when she saw Sokoya. *Oh no* she thought as she got up quickly. "What happened" she asked, ready to help fight in any way she needed to. "Where is Orion?" Her eyes gave away that she was concerned as she tensed up a bit. "Are you hurt at all?" She knew she was asking a lot of questions, but her mind did that when she was nervous, and she wasnt sure why. |

"I'm fine, but Orion's been taken by the Veynoma into their cave. We need to get him back." Sokoya said, a mix of nervousness and worry for him. She turned to Leo, who had come up as well to talk to her about Orion's sudden kidnapping. "Gather the Endazi... you're going to take the fight to them." Leo grinned, and his bodyguards gave out a holler of excitement, ready to gather everyone and destroy every last member of the Venyoma after being a thorn in their side for so long. "Get yourself ready Amara. I don't know what we're going to face with this." --- Orion struggled, mumbling and trying hard to get rid of the webbing that was wrapped around his mouth, but couldn't. So he was carried all the way down the cave, seeing everyone that lived within the cave staring at him. He was being carried somewhere... but what exactly? After a while he was propped up and he looked towards the front, seeing that there was a throne... of sorts, but there was no one there. "Do you see the throne? They killed our queen... and you want us to make peace with them? It's far too late for that..." The spider from earlier stepped towards the throne and sat down, staring a hole through him. |
