Wondering Through Webs

* Inside a room Filled, with suspended beds of silk and threads.

Two creatures faced each other, one smaller than the other, the taller one spoke her voice where steady and soothing yet wild like that of a boyish older sister. "

Ember : " whooh that was close love. . .love? What! Kid? whats the matter . . . " I heard the voice slowly fade

When I first met Ember I only saw danger, but. .. ...

When she said Weaver, That made me Immediately fainted into a dreamless sleep, with a light smile on my face, still tired from the mental experience I had. . .

Then I woke up. . .I'm not sure how much time passed, but I didn't care. . .

but something was different this. . .

Yes the Ceiling was different ha ha ha.. .

It's made out of a gray stone, with carvings portraying that of a family they look happy. . .

The Room was bright, with White glowing crystals illuminating the entire room. . .

it was serine. . . the only sounds I can hear where the high pitch laughter of children's?

I sat up, from the comfortable bed that Ember might have prepared. . .

And actually look around. . .I saw that, I was in a very suspicious room. . .

It was very decorated, Everything was covered by either a shade of red, or clean White, cloths and The furniture, like that desk was made out of the same stone as the building's ceiling or walls. . .

White : " They atleast have good taste, however owns this place atleast "

? ? ? : " Ha ha ha. . well thank you young one, I do try to give personality the places I take care of. . . but enough of that, you must be hungry, here try it. "

A tall weaver? spoke I guess, her voice sounded old but caring, and with her kindly tone I was immediately fruitful of her like a mother. . .

Mom. . . I'm sorry I, shouldn't have left. .. ...

those thoughts only slowed me down for a moment, before I responded to the nice lady's request I expected it. . .

she was holding a tray of food there where a bowl of steamy thick soup with brown meat floating on it. . . and bread that was freshly warm to the touch it was nice. . .

Caretaker : " there that should be enough, you'll have a fresh set of clothes, prepared for you next to the bed. . . and when just leave I'll take it later. . . "

She started to leave after she spoke. .

White : " Thank. . .you ahh wher.. . "

Caretaker : " If you have questions young one, you should go find elder Hunter, he'll tell you everything. . . "

Then without another word, she left through the doorless doorway, with her white robe reaching the red tailored floor. . . skimming it like a newlywed.

I was speechless until it she fully vanished from my eyes. . .

I touched my face, and held my mouth my mask. . . It's broken? I can feel it on my face but it's gone. . .no, it's not gone, it's just that it only covers my eyes and I thing a little of my nose. . .

I ignored that thinking, after touching my leaps and started to eat the hot meal infront of me, I Am very hungry. . .

I tasted the soup first, with a silver spoon, ha ha ha wow, it's really cool that even in other worlds, they use spoons for eating, I guessed that if somethings very useful, they would always be invented. . .

The soup was actually good. . .It tasted like mushroom soup. . thick and funniely it had salt it was like I had before. . . the meat only made it better, it melts in my mouth Every time I chow. . .

then I tried the bread like the soup it had meat, I guess that they really like meat here. . . I just wish that I'm not enjoying a person right now. . .

the bread was soft in the inside, while the outside had a very crunchy texture, it was delicious, and made me to wonder what they used to make flour here. . .

After I finished my meal, I set aside the tray and saw a bottle, of what I think? was water, at one of the stone night stands I took it. . .

And uncork the bottle, and proceeded to drink it, it was both cold and refreshing to my throat, while it passed through and went into my entire being. . .

All the fuzziness and tiredness I felt was gone, it felt like I took a premium coffee pill that I used to take when I study. . . it made my mind clearer than before.

After that drink, I stood up, my body stumbling at the first try, but somehow managing to do what I wanted at the end.

And then I took off my clothes, Revealing a slim gray skinned exoskeleton that resembles that of a human's surface, except that it's a lot more smoother, synthetic in away without any bony appendages bulging the skin.

My body seams underdeveloped, young and child like. . . I don't know why? but I know that I'm young atleast my body's young compared to the others I met. . .

I was lost in thought while I wore, the dress shirt the caretaker left. . .I don't know why? but why did I feel so at peace in her presence. . .

And the comfortable pants that mirrored the dress shirts design and white color I feel like a renaissance noble with the clothes they left. . .that or old fashioned vampires from the books I read from history. . .

What was that man's name again?. . . Vladdamire right? the first vampire also known as Dracula. . . Would I meet vampires in the future? . . .

While thinking I started to slowly walk in a slow pace, avoiding not to fall because of my frail body. . .

While I walked, I admired the almost en-eccentric design of the large hallway. . .

The walls where lined by tapestries, portraying a story I yet to understand, while the Ceiling where covered by white thread hanging crystals, that glowed faintly just enough to light up the whole hall.

they where hanged like christmas lights, in the middle of the half-circled ceiling, arcing every so often like the waves of the sea. . .

And even the floor was covered by the same red velvet carpet, that feels like warm foot hugs, every time I take a step forward with my barefooted feet. . .

Then while I walked, I also saw through the many windows that lined the right wall, I first saw the children I heard, when I first woke up they where playing in a courtyard.

they seem happy, there was about ten of them playing with white ball, they where all wearing mask's that has a resembled the trinket Mask maker gave me. . .

I. . .start checking person but then realized they must have already took it. . . ( Shrugged ) heh it really doesn't matter Mask maker only gave it to me so they don't kill me on the spot, and let me live with them so. . .

I should start looking for. . . what did she said his name again Hunter?. . .

yes him. . . I started to walk again while smilling after I looked at the playing children for the last time, I also saw Caretaker where with them. . .

I continued, and then I reached a doored room, the door was made out of a kind of dark blue stone, I reached for the handle and twisted. . .

It was open I pushed the door and saw that it was a library. . . the room was circular, with books lining the walls while being illuminated by the same hanging faint glowing crystals.

I stepped into this library and saw that there was only rope ladders, to help you reach the books higher on the shelf. . .

My dazed was broken by the clap of a leather book ( Thump ). . .

? ? ? : " Are you lost young one? "

The voice sounded faintly annoyed, but yet worried while placing no edge on her tone.

White : " I was looking for someone and . . .

? ? ? : " Who might this be? "

My voice was caught in my throat when I looked at the creature I was speaking too, she was wearing a mask unlike the ones the weaver's wear.

And her body was taller than caretaker's and both her Skin and her hair was pitch black, not the red and light violet I saw from the other weaver's she must be another species, that lives with them. . . she's kind of like me.

White : " Hunter. . . a caretaker, said that I should look for him. . .

? ? ? : " Well his not here, although you might find him at His Sacred garden. . . You're. . .

White : " White. . . and you are mis. . . "

Widow : " Just call me Widow, I'm a librarian here, young one. . .but you should go, childrens aren't allowed to play in any of the ancestral libraries. . . "

With that she left me and started to reorganized the books around the library, I soon left after saying a quick thank you to her. . .

It felt weird talking to a less humanoid this time I saw that she had an insect sack behind her only that its covered by her robes. . . Wait! is it rude to look at her back side like that. . .

With does thought I continued, I sometimes encounter other bugs on the way, they seemed to appeared beetle like they don't speak much, every time I ask them for directions. . .

I guessed there the weaver's servants. . . and other times, other caretaker's, those ones can actually speak, they told me the direction I should go before waving me off, they seem busy after a few hours of wondering I finally reached the Sacred Garden. . .

It was smaller than what I thought, it was just a large balcony, with water flowing through it in a water fall like design, while glowing small trees where cut to form certain shapes. . .it was like a botanical garden.

I wondered through it until I saw a tall bug clipping away in a bush, forming it into another miniature bug, he's using he's hands as Scissors.

When I started to get closer he finally spoke.

Hunter : " ahhh. . .Good you're awake you know you really scared Ember when you fainted again. ( sigh ). . . "
