Prologue: IRL Scene
Deep within the craggy embrace of a towering mountain, a cavern of unfathomable depths lies ensconced in perpetual darkness, its yawning mouth guarded by stalactites that hang like menacing fangs, dripping with the moisture of eons.
As you step cautiously into its embrace, the air thickens with the musty scent of ancient earth and the faint tang of decay, while the only discernible sound is the distant drip of water echoing off the cold stone walls, a haunting reminder of the cavern's eternal solitude.
Venturing deeper into the bowels of this subterranean realm, the dim light of your torch reveals the cavern's secrets with hesitant flickers: twisted passageways winding sinuously, lined with glistening webs that stretch from floor to ceiling like ethereal veils of silk spun by unseen weavers.
Shadows dance with malevolent intent, concealing countless spiders of varying sizes, their gleaming eyes reflecting the faint glimmer of your torchlight as you press on with trepidation.
At last, you arrive at the heart of the cave, where a vast chamber opens up before you, dominated by a colossal nest woven from thousands upon thousands of strands of silk, a testament to the tireless industry of its arachnid inhabitants.
From the center of this intricate structure, a monstrous arachnid, larger than any known to mortal eyes, surveys its domain with an air of predatory grace, each movement calculated and precise.
The walls of the chamber seem to pulsate with life as myriad spiders scuttle to and fro, tending to their queen and her sprawling brood, their chittering filling the air with a cacophony of sound that sends shivers cascading down your spine.
Mesmerized yet repulsed by the eerie beauty of this hidden world, you know that it is best not to linger.
With one final, apprehensive glance at the spider queen and her domain, you retreat from the cavern, leaving the darkness and its eight-legged inhabitants to their timeless existence, a silent witness to the mysteries that dwell within the earth's embrace.
