《The Dark Star Emperors》Chapter 106: Art of Following
Advertisement
Yune, Venomion, and Cainus were in the middle of raiding a local robber's house. Apparently, Venomion heard that a pair of robbers took some priceless jewels, so she asked if Yune wanted to join her in taking the jewels.
Yune agreed, and Cainus heard their conversation and popped out from under a floorboard to join them as well.
Venomion's snakes knew where they were, and the three of them easily charged in and beat them to a pulp. Yune was even planning on killing them, but decided just to hand them over to the police. They weren't anybody special, and she found out from the news that those robbers didn't hurt anybody in the robbery.
Venomion's snakes gulped down the bags of jewels and slithered away.
However, when Yune was about to leave the robbers, she had noticed that their eyes were wriggling. Then, suddenly, two spiders came out of the two's eyes.
Cainus and Venomion thought they were disgusting and were about to squash them, if Yune hadn't stopped them.
Yune grabbed one of the spider's and held it to her eye. It was tiny, but she could tell it was the same kind of spider that was inside the Dragon Kaiser gang leader's. It had the two-faced mask and a very small signature on the abdomen. It was smaller than the other one, but still the same. And she didn't sense any feeling of it being a Night Demon.
Yune had another idea. She suspected that the small creature must have come from something bigger. It was just a child, she thought, of a much bigger Night Demon.
Then, from outside, they heard screams. They rushed out to see that the streets were covered with spiders. They all marched forward and came out of other people's eyes without hurting them. They all had the same mask and signature. And they crawled in a hurry.

"What the hell is happening!?" Venomion exclaimed.
"There's so many of them," Cainus said.
Yune looked at the little spider she carried and let it go. The spider began to crawl in the same direction as the others. Then, they reached a sewer grate and crawled underneath. Yune felt like they must have belonged to a much bigger spider like a queen or a matriarch. And when she noticed them coming out of people, the spiders mostly came out of people who looked dangerous or violent. She suspected the spiders having to do something with all the rampant crime going on.
"I don't know," Yune said trying to convince them, "But we should follow them. They're in a rush. And we've seen them crawling around before. They came out of that gang leader's head. Who knows what kind of things these spiders have been up to. And... who knows? Maybe, they're keeping treasure down there."
Once, Venomion heard the word treasure she sprung up.
"I don't mind. As a fellow hero, it would be my duty to help those in need from giant hordes of spiders. And as a fellow money lover, if there is a slight chance that those spiders are hoarding plenty of stuff like my snakes, then I'm in," Venomion said.
Cainus coughed. Her heart beat faster at the sight of bugs. They scared her ever since she was a child. She said with a shaky voice, "Sounds like a lot of work for nothing. We don't know if they're really hoarding anything. And they're not Night Demons, so we wouldn't be getting any black coins for it."
"I wasn't expecting you to come, Cainus," Yune said seeing her reaction to the spiders, "After all, I'm sure you're afraid."
"What!?" Cainus exclaimed, "I'm not afraid of a couple of... bugs."

Yune continued to press her, "And I'm sure you wouldn't be able to help. Not like your toy can do anything against them. Let the big girls handle this."
Cainus growled without even thinking about the spiders, "Damn you. I'll show you."
Cainus began to attack the spiders. They didn't fight back, rather they continued to march forward like drones. Then, Venomion and Yune went forward. The three of them saw that they entered into the sewers, and decided to follow them in there.
"We're all going to have to take a long shower after this," Yune commented.
"That's okay. I barely shower, anyways," Venomion replied.
"Gross."
And the three jumped in following the spiders. What they didn't know was that there was somebody following them - Mirey.

The Harrowbird's Crown
(Formerly: Tales of a Harrowed House) Synopsis: This is the tale of an exiled royal family who, after their bloody reunion on the island of Providence, return to a war-torn homeland where once more, powerful forces pit sibling against sibling in a bid for the crown — and once more, the magical streets of Auctor echo their infamous motto: “Fire will Reign as Harrowbirds Soar!” From his humble beginnings as a shoemaker’s son, his year spent as a daringly brazen orphan caught between rivaling Houses and a mad ghost, and his fight for the crown after his return to Auctor, Corbyn faces a coming-of-age story unlike any before him as he discovers magic and birthright are two things he never knew he had. From the intimate narrative of a childhood that was never her own, her year spent struggling to find the person she is rather than the person her family needs her to be, the secrets she hides, and the truths she finds, Halle discovers herself on the fabled island of Providence as her House collapses around her, bids to enter a legendary school of magic in her homeland of Auctor, and fights for a crown she never knew she wanted. A high-action, character-focused story written with a poet’s styling, The Harrowbird’s Crown is a tale that will transport readers into the conflict and conquest of a royal family back on the rise. General Information: This story is more traditionally plotted. While the beginning may seem to start out slowly, when shit hits the fan: the action is constant, the mysteries are satisfying, and the character development is rewarding. Chapters are usually between 2.5-3.5 thousand words (though some, like the first and second chapters, can run up to 5k words). When it’s long it means that the chapter will just have that much content in it. There’s Action, Mystery, Fantasy, Comedy, and some Psychological undertakings. Romance hasn’t come up yet, but it may in future chapters. I try to have chapters out every Sunday at 7:00 CST Book One: The Ghost of Providence
