“What the hell happened?” Nestor yelled, “Why are we tied in this disgusting web! Where are we in this cave! We don’t belong here!”

   “Our weapons are gone,” Joshua whispered.

   “Where did Balius go? He might be too small for that spider to see. He would find us.” Nestor whispered to Joshua. He turned back to the ugly creature and said harshly, “Come on, tell me monster, what’s your reason of capturing us? Why are there webs around us?”

   “I weave webs for all of you so you may be more comfortable in sleeping. After you wake up, it is best to eat you alive! Of course, I do not eat the flesh of females. I guess I have to let the princess die slowly with pain. I shall take you up to the highest tree and let you fall like a poor little dog!

    “Poor Andromeda, perhaps you can’t stand to see Lord Chiroman suffer, can you? Oh I nearly forgot! You are closing your eyes. You are arachnophobia!” the creature used one of her legs and touched the princess’ chin. “Last thirteen years, your stupid nanny, Rosaline came and killed me with that magical sword. You wouldn’t listen to your nanny when she told you to come back to your castle. She knew all along that I will haunt you down one day and kill you, because you have that amulet. You’re so grown now, Andromeda, you ought to know that I was resurrected last year, so now I am standing right in front of this arachnophobia princess to take revenge on her!”

   “Get your legs off her chin!” Chiroman shouted angrily, “Don’t touch her! If you move one of your jointed foot one more time, I won’t hesitate any longer!”

   Lord Chiroman created a sparkle of fire with his fingers, shredding each web with those sparkles. The webs loosen and the lord tore himself from the web. He ran towards the earthly heroes and cut the web apart with the blade of his throwing stars. Joshua and Nestor ran over to get their weapons and surrounded the spider, being prepared to assault her.  

   “Why? Are you so terrified that I would kill her? Let me start with three of you. Devouring you first so you won’t have to see Andromeda die,” Arachnid guffawed evilly.

   “No! Arachnid, you can kill me or even drive me insane, but I beg you not too kill the boys!” Andromeda pleaded, “I begged you with everything! Please let them go.”

   “Oh! Oh! Poor princess is begging me to save her friends’ life!” Arachnid Woman laughed evilly, “All right! All right! I’ll let all of them go. So I could kill you!”  

   “Let’s deal this way. If you wanted the princess so badly, you have to kill all of us first,” Joshua gritted his teeth, “If you think killing will fulfill your darn, bloody wishes, come on, do it?”

   “Perfect! Yes! I get it. Andromeda and I would fight until one of us loses. If I lose, I am willing to stay away from every man, and stop devouring meat.  But if Andromeda loses, she would get devoured!” Arachnid interpreted her own deal. “But if one of you move to help this girl, she would die by my poisonous fangs. Think before you lend a hand.”  

   “Deal!” Andromeda said quickly. “I’ll fight with you, and you have to let three of them go!”

   “Andromeda! How could you!” Chiroman hollered.

   “My hero, please do not be mad at me. I got to deal with my own problems. I don’t want to see you or Nestor or Joshua to die or be wounded because of me. Please understand, my lord,” Andromeda’s tear rolled down her eyes. “And please don’t help me. Let me prove my own strength.”

                     Arachnid woman smirked and took the heroes out of the cave. The surroundings were thick with trees, and a river was a stone's throw away from the cave. Andromeda fought her fears to face the monster she feared most. Goosebumps went down through her spine; it was factual that Arachnid Woman was extraordinarily ugly. The princess swung her bladed ring to hit one of the spider’s legs, but that spider was too fast. She jumped away and landed three feet behind Andromeda.

                   The fight between the princess and the Arachnid took quite a long time. The beast kept on using her web to move about and was fair enough to not use her poison to finish off Andromeda. The other three heroes stood impatiently and watch Andromeda fighting with all her might, with the creature she feared most.

   “I can’t stand any longer! There’s no way to treat a princess or even a girl this way! I don’t let friends be in trouble while I sit around and watch!” Nestor shouted. He threw his spear into the direction of the Arachnid Woman but missed. The creature crawled in front of Nestor with her poisonous fangs. The spider was ready to dig her fangs into Nestor’s flesh but he threw a big ball of water onto her ugly face.

   “Don’t do that!” the creature screamed. She moved away from Nestor and jumped up a tree. The spider was hydrophobia, and she was trying to control her fears. Seeing that, Andromeda threw her ring to slice off one leg of the unconscious spider.

   “Throw your ring once again!” Chiroman told her. The princess threw her bladed ring once again and on its half way to the spider, a ball of fire was lit on the ring, transforming the weapon into the Ring of Fire. Once the weapon clashed onto the spider woman, she fell from the tree and was caught up in flames.

   “I’ll take revenge on you!” the monster cried through the fire.

   Arachnid Woman was burnt into ashes; however, there were something to replace her presence. More than a hundred three feet spiders were crawling from her ashes and filled the whole forest ground with black, hairy spiders.

   “No way, that can’t be…” Andromeda whimpered. Chiroman pulled the princess over to the lake as the earthly heroes followed behind. Fortunately, a raft was seen on the surface of the water about two meters away from the forest.
