The wiggling of the web sacks make me a little bit worried about what we will find, there's gotta be like 9 wiggling and the rest of the 30ish sitting there, ominously! It could be anything! It could be more web sacks in web sacks! Maybe they store web sacks in here like some kind of box factory! I'm awoken from my web sack inception by Zelia approaching the closest wiggling one with my boner knife, heh.
She carefully makes a slit in the webbing and opens it fully with both hands. I can see it in her eyes, she’s so ready to get a puppy pet! Little does she know puppies can’t own puppies, she gives out a little aww wan~ and I lean over and peer inside, a family? The hamsters are quivering in fear against the bottom of the sack, some of them with small injuries. Zelia looks at me with her puppy dog eyes puppydogging.
“N-no Zelia we can't keep them, does this game even have like a pet system?! I mean you should know best moo!” I start cooing at them and trying to be as nice as possible and it… seems to work?! They approach me and start sniffing around at my hand and one by one approach and climb up my arm.
“I'M GOING TO TAKE SO MANY PHOTOS WAN!” Zelia is literally vibrating in excitement, the little hamster things have taken resting spots up near my neck giving me a super fuzzy soft scarf, nestling into the safest places they can find.
“Wait… are they all considered children?! Wh-what is with these game mechanics moo?!” I look at my necklace again and see that it doesn't specify human or humanoid it just says children!

‘A small girl that only wanted to live in happiness with her family, which she did for a time, until a monster came into her life, you've brought her peace’
“I mean… you really do have those… motherly vibes wan!” She pauses while looking intently at my boobs, licking her lips before looking back up at me.
“Ha! ha! very funny love! This better not become a running theme moo!”

A-are you serious?! Every single one of the bags contained a heap of baby animals! Did they find a snack sized zoo?! I now know how mother arachne feels! except I don't have a convenient giant abdomen for them all to sit on… Zelia might say otherwise, the word badonkadonk comes to mind…
New title, though, almost makes all this shit feel worth it! I tell Zel and she gets excited about the prospect of Nemesis knights, which means we can see if there's like a temple of Nemesis that we could check out, and find out more about my god that I'm championing for! Zelia says that some of the current champions according to the forums got theirs through trials. Either from going to their temples or giving it on the spot, she hadn't heard about any of them just starting as a herald yet… weird but we might find out more about it once we find more Nemesis people.
After finishing going through the struggling bags and finding 0 Keeks we realize… why would she struggle!? She loves this shit! We finally find Keeks happily snuggled up like a baby spider, all her limbs curled in and twitching in dream land, all the rest of the sacks contained either spiders, which were promptly smashed, goo or larger animals that died from wounds. I'm very tempted to scream, everything we’ve been going through! Zelia gently pushes and prods Keeks, but not before taking some choice photos. She really is cute when she sleeps, you wouldn't guess she came in here to get shot full of eggs… sigh…
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
“Wh-what It’s sleepy time not wakey time, don’t make me bite you sis! Nyoo, like 5 more minutes the war can end itself!” The war? Uhh I motion for Zelia to bring out the big guns. She pulls out a little book and starts casting, suddenly a ball of water starts forming and Splasshh
“NYYOOO WHHHYYY!!!” Keeks looks up at us both before suddenly screaming and throwing herself backwards. “WHAT THE FUCK AM I LOOKING AT NYE!” She gets on all 4s and starts hissing, trying to make herself look bigger the best she can.
“Shh shhh!!! You're going to wake the babies!!” The parade of furry limbs, ears and fluff have encompassed my body, as she screams all eyes turn on her, hundreds of eyes of different sizes intently focused on the noise maker from all over my body like some kind of biblically correct angel monstrosity. Keeks falls over and… has a heart attack? Plays dead? It’s kind of hard to tell. The baby monsters that have taken me as a home since we kept opening the bags to find more and more children, that are not wolves to Zelia’s dismay, have turned me into some kind of walking abomination. At some point I didn't even have to motion to them, they just saw the fluff pile and went, ‘oh shit I need to be in that pile of warmth!’ I'm really starting to sweat. It's like summer and I’ve got 4 layers on.
I can only stand there like a cat post as Zelia rouses Keeks, they are crying a little, asking me to put the scary eyes away, I cant just throw them off me… fuck we might have to go back to the entrance. “At least Keeks is here to help fend off all spider attacks, I say we go back outside so I can get these babies back outside, they might die out there but at least they will be able to have a chance to survive moo!”
“C-can I at least keep one?! Or like… you keep one and I'll pretend it's mine?! They won't snuggle with mmeeeee wwaaannnn~'' Zelia has been pouting and trying to keep patting them the whole time, being rebuffed by hissing or biting, but she was not one to give up on the cuteness.
“When we get outside I'll try to get one to be safe with you okay? Until then we gotta clear the cave regardless moo…” She nods her adorable head and prods Keeks until she gets up, finally after much protesting she gets up begrudgingly pulls out her sword whipping at the sleep in her eyes.
“I was finally getting a good sleep too until ‘eyesamoo’ here showed up nye!” I hold myself back from attacking her, gotta get the babies to safety first and then we can take care of the sleeping ‘princess’.
“What even happened Keeks wan?” Zelia asking the real question, yeah what the fuck!?
“Well how could I resist! When we got closer I spotted a spider and checked its stats! IT WAS A FRIGGIN ARCHNE SPIDER!? Do you know how awesome that is nyee!!” We both look at each other and Zel shrugs.
“I know the greek woman and the whole tale about them, how they got turned into a spider woman wan…” Keeks nods vigorously and points at Zel.
“EXACTLY! I know my spider women and these are the most women like of all!!! But all I kept finding were goddamn spider spiders! I mean hot still but what the fuck?! If you call it something, make it something right! But then as I got further and further in I started hearing like human voices! But uhh then I felt something hot on my head and passed out… Hot spider dreams though fucking hell nye!” They look so fucking chuffed and dissappointed at the same time that I dont know how to feel anymore…
It’s been like 2 fucking hours since we came in here, wandering caves, killing spiders and watching poor Zel cut through all those sacks while my body kept getting more and more clustered with animals like a goddamn ark!
“So apart from a farm did you find anything else useful nye?” She looks around at all the deflated sacks and sees one more still with something inside, then casually walks over to it and pokes it EEEEK! Keeks jumps back with the sword at the ready… after a few seconds nothing… she cuts a slit in the side and sighs, pushing the material out with her hands. “Uhh I think this one's yours moo girl… like?... literally nyeha!” Zelia and I look confusedly at each other and wander over, Keeks pushes it further off and inside the cocoon is a shivering young minotaur girl, about 3 feet tall curled in on herself, wearing a pink sundress, she looks up and sees me.
“M-mummy moo?...” Oh dear… oh… cow?...
