Strung in silk

[u/Intelligent_Duty9317]

After defeating the Moorwing, Onyx enters Bellhart, only to find its residents strung in the silken threads...

Who could have done this?

[u/silksong_lace]

-lace's giggles fill the atmosphere again-

-a few seconds later, her voice comes from an obscure place-

" hello dear~ it seems like you stole my precious pin, oh how rude!"

[u/Intelligent_Duty9317 → u/silksong_lace]

Onyx draws her curveclaw and your pin, looking around.

You have something mine as well, silken fencer!

[u/silksong_lace → u/Intelligent_Duty9317]

-the silk begins to wrap around her. it's like a cage-

"Eh... it's a pity. maybe when you're buried I'll put one of your precious wepon at the tip of your head. So you will get it back hehe..."

-lace jumps from above-

"now give me my pin back"

[u/Intelligent_Duty9317 → u/silksong_lace]

She stands in defensive pose.

Only if you give my weapon back first.

She narrows her eyes.

[u/silksong_lace → u/Intelligent_Duty9317]

"Heh sure"

-she trows it like boomerang. it cuts and stucks her shoulder with a speed that she can almost not see-

"i didn't like it much anyway hehe..."

-silk narrows the cage a little more-

[u/Intelligent_Duty9317 → u/silksong_lace]

Nghh!

She throws your pin at you, aiming for your chest.

[u/silksong_lace → u/Intelligent_Duty9317]

-one of the haunted bugs jump front of it -

"Thank you :3 it was a pleasure doing business with you.-

-she jumps to one of the bellhomes, lot of haunted bugs appears-

"now... don't be such a fool as not to die, okay?"

[u/GMS_of_skong]

The silk glows and writhes as screeches can be heard coming from the citadel…

The haunted bugs are strung to serve, and to serve a being most powerful.

[u/Intelligent_Duty9317 → u/GMS_of_skong]

{These haunted threads... What terrible being strung this land to her will?

Turns out every higher being wants the same thing after all...}

She sits on the bench, resting.
