Homecoming
(ooc: read 'Awakening' first.)
As Spider walked into Pyke he was greeted by the Mayor and several others.
"Spider! Your back!" the Mayor said, "Any news on the family that was kidnapped?"
Spider let out a long sigh before answered.
"I'm afraid I was unable ter save them. I did what I could, but failed. I am sorry." Spider said, hanging his head.
There were shocked gasps and cries of grief from the crowd.
"We will mourn their passing." the Mayor said sadly, putting a hand on Spider's arm, "Do not blame yourself, for nobody is perfect. You did what you could and that what's important."
"Thanks fer understanding, Mayor."
"What became of the group that took them?"
"All dead ter the best of my knowledge. I never found their leader's body."
"Well may he and the rest of them rot in hell." The Mayor then noticed the tattoo, "Did you always have that tattoo? I never noticed it before..."
"I jus' got it, yer see I..." Spider was interrupted by a loud rumble. He quickly realized that it was his stomach demanding to be fed and that he hadn't eaten in nearly a day. He blushed slightly in embaressment, "Pardon me..."
The Mayor just laughed as he said:
"Don't worry, you can tell us over dinner. Care to join us?"
Dinner was sounding really good to him right now, so Spider eagerly excepted....
