Slowly you woke up all bound in white threads and incapable to move, you were laid on the cold stone of a slightly lit cave which felt pretty narrow, on the jagged walls of the cave there were fluorescent green plants and scratch marks, however it seems that the old beast living in this hole have met a grim end, after all it wasn't it that wrapped you in the threads, soft like silk yet strong like iron.

Your captor was sitting over a rock while looking at you through the eyeholes of her horned mask where she hid the silk tied in the horns of the mask, her tall slim body of arachnid, covered in a black smooth exoskeleton, was hidden beneath a red cloak that she had from her childhood.

She was sharpening her long needle with a stone making it hiss, the sound was quite annoying however you weren't in the position to stop her or even to ask to stop. As you look into her eyes you could only see disappointment and...worry.

Long before this awkward moment you and your captor were inseparable, both born in a thriving kingdom and for your "luck" you were both children of the notorious Pale King, everything was beautiful: you always played together, walked around, learn to fight, went to explore the reign of Hollownest. However your father started casting down into the Abyss those that he dimmed impure and so taken by fear you left Hollownest to hide in the wilderness.

Then if you managed to escape, how could you find yourself in this situation? Well, you underestimate the solid bond that you had with Hornet, your step-sister. Probably after your successful attempt to escape she went to ask your Father the permission to go and take you back.

Suddenly she stood up with her needle in hand from which the thread came to trap you in a soft and comfortable cocoon.

"Dear brother, it's time that we get back home."

She gently took you up, since she's twice your height (you're a vessel), and put you on her back, like you were a little cute backpack, so that she could have her hands free, then she started traveling out of the cave. Maybe there's a way to convince her to let you go, however it's most likely that she won't even answer to your plea, she's now bringing you back to your Father and probably he would kill you, Hornet must be thinking that she can convince him to let you live.
