“Child, in this tower we walk on the floors!”
“Child?” she giggled, naked on the ceiling. “I’m five, wizard!”
“Old for a spider, but not for a human.”
She descended on a string of webs. “Falling in the cauldron, made me human?”
He smiled at her four eyes and fanged grin. “Mostly.”

Wow, I want this as a book! Great work at making me want to know what strange Spiderlight-like backstory this child has. And, of course, how she gets thrown into saving the world (or just herself. Not everything is marvel of course).

Love the mental image painted of the spider girl.

Thank you, I wanted to do a spider character that was much more inspired by Lucas the Spider and Ponyo than rather than a scary being.
She’s cute, curious and smart. I’ve actually got some ideas for her in a longer set of stories where she even has spider-related magic that the wizard helps her learn to use.
