”Alright I will leave you incased in web. The spiderlings will take care of your needs.” Gin

”Wait! I have more information. You seem to not know much so I can help. You seem to be alone so I can help with other things as well.” Sigrid

Alone?Other things?.... Gross.... Remembering the scent she had on her when I kidnapped her I get a little insight on how she is.... The knowledge would be helpful though. Can't be sure of the accuracy of it though.

”Why should I trust anything that you say? In fact, what you have told me could be lies. I will not place any real trust into you.” Gin

She goes quiet for a bit. She must be thinking out what to say.

*Sigh

”I'm willing to be subordinated.” Sigrid

*Captive is highly compatible for assimilation into a Broodmother. However, doing so will have unforeseen consequences. Y/N?

I'm not sure what to do again. I'm fine with Xelu, Set, and Kess but, that is because they have max loyalty. What is loyalty? How does it influence subordinates? I doubt that if I accept her as a regular subordinate she will be loyal.

As for making her into a broodmother? I still don't know.... At least she is 'highly compatible'. Xelu was just 'compatible'. Is it because Drow worship spiders? lets shelve this issue for a while. I need to see how the rest of the drow will react now that one of their leaders is gone.

”I'll think about it. Until I think of what to do, you will remain here. Xelu, Kess, watch over her in case she makes any suspicious actions.” Gin

I have Set rebind. We leave the nest to spy on the drow. I can't imagine them sitting still after one of their leaders disappearing. I climb a tree near the encampment they set up..... Huhh???? Out of the tent that Sigrid came out of ealier I see a drow with sword. She is holding a head in her other hand. Looking at her bearing I think she may be another leader. Thinking on it, the head may belong to a slave.

She tosses the head into a bush as she leaves the encampment..... She disappeared....

'I can follow her if you want master~' Set

Set gives a suggestion which I agree with. She points me in the direction that she is heading.

I am met with a familiar sight. It is the Arachne Queen's nest.... The difference is that weird creatures are flowing out. Those.... Are hybrids? They are amalgamations of different creatures. Some even have humanoid features. I see one with a human head that is alive..... The drow leader exits stealth and collapses on her knees.

A centipede scuttles up to her. It is massive. About 3 meters tall and who knows how long. How it squeezed out of the cave is a mystery. It grabs her head with its mandible and swallows her. It twitches a whole bunch and her head pokes out of the side of its one of its body segments. This world is horrible.
