"YOU are the hero" : The Fate of Faraway 344

The gallery is cluttered with stalagmites, but sotis you find them cut open and piled in small heaps. You finally arrive in a strange cavern, wide and perfectly round. In the center stands a strange creature that stares at you in astonishnt.

Its insect-like body resembles either an ant or a spider the size of a horse. Its abdon is quite odd, as if cracking from so kind of molting. The upper part of its body is strangely humanoid and feminine, though protected by thick chitinous skin. The face itself, apart from its eight eyes and other insectoid features, is very expressive. Snapping its small mandibles in an aggressive gesture, the arachnean tries to repel the intrusion you represent.
