Chapter 53 - Assault on the Spider's Nest [2]

The Weaver's Nest, a labyrinth of libraries and hidden chambers at the heart of the underworld, is on high alert.

"They're coming," he whispers to his trusted lieutenant, a silk-masked woman known as Whisper.

"All entrances have been reinforced. Traps have been set," replies Whisper. "But, madam, they are not ordinary gangs. They are the Knights of the Void."

"I know," says The Weaver. "Prepare all the 'Spiderlings.' Tonight, we will remind the underworld why no one dares to disturb our webs."

BOOOUUMM!
