The Legend of the Spider Skull... Part I
Long time ago, in early dark
ages, when human kind was enslaved by stronger predator species – gigantic spiders,
the legend of the Spider Skull arose. The artifact of the Spider Skull was the
ultimate weapon against bloodthirsty spider race and the only hope for the
humanity to arise once more. The legend told, that once the humans were a
superior race, and spiders were just small bugs doing no harm to people. But once,
a great magician, researching some magical or alchemical universes, made a
mistake in his calculations, and three really tiny spiders, that the magician
was experimenting with, started to grow really fast. In a matter of minutes
they became bigger than a standing man. The great magician went mad, when he
saw what have he done. Although, his act of magic was undoable, the magician
decided to give all his power away before his death, to create the artifact of
the Spider Skull, where the skull was his own.
The artifact could instantly kill
surrounding spiders with an enormous power of two blue lights, spreading from
the eyeholes. It looked like the old mighty wizard is killing the spiders he
has created with his own eyesight. According to the manuscript of the legend, only
those three prime spiders, that started the spider race dominance over the
humans, can survive destructive force of the Spider Skull. So the artifact was
hidden away from the humans, and guarded
by same three giant spiders.*
