You wrap your legs around the spider's abdomen, holding on as tightly as you can. The spiders barrel through the dark and cold caves, crawling up steep slopes and into crevasses no human could access, which sometimes forced you to wrap your arms around the spider as well just to stay on, you had no time to think about how disgusting it felt as falling off could me serious injury.
As they carry you to a tunnel where daylight is streaming into the caverns you breathe a sigh of relfief. Haden asks the spiders to let you get off and have break from bouncing aroudn on their backs. You spy an old hunters cabin on the side of the mountain and tell the spiders to let you check in there to give you a break on the long journey. While there you each see something that you think could be useful on the next stage of your journey and pick it up for good. Haden picked up a map she found and stuck it in her pouch. You found an old dried ham and thought that it would make a better meal than the dried sea leaves that Alster was offering. Talik picked up a large water carrier that she could fill in the nearby stream before entering the badlands and Alster found a small casket of ale that he thought might have medicinal properties. After a stretch and short break the spiders give Haden the signal and soon you are off again down the mountain side towards the tower and the corruption.
Soon you lose track of time. Have you been riding for minutes or hours? It's dusk and shadows were growing long. Though you can't see everything, Haden can thanks to her new gauntlet's power which shone brightly from its powerful crystal. "We're almost there!" she shouts.
Right on cue, the spiders in front of you slow down again, the land, flat and open in front of you a welcome change from the hills and slopes of the mountainside. You arrive on the brink of a purple forest, the Voek tower and mountain ridge looming up ahead and nearby The Ruined Lands.
You dismount from the spiders. For a long moment you stand there, taking in the view. Then Haden speaks. "The spiders will go no further. It's too dangerous for them, but they hope we make a safe return and ask us to repay their hard work by stopping the spread of the corruption in their cluster."
You stare at the tower beyond the trees and the river. Inside, another sibling of light is waiting, you hope — and the answers you need to put an end to the corruption once and for all?
