Seven skeletal cherubs relentlessly attacked the oncoming waves of spider-like monsters. They descended from the floating mountains overhead in the black sky, and from the ground underfoot.

Jack watched as his cherubs beat back the spider horde, in his hand, he materialized his Femur Ferula. He mentally furrowed his brows, as he watched the Spider Goddess shouting, and directing the endless clutch of spiders. As far as Jack could see in the overhead and on the endless plain... Spiders... Almost as if the ground itself was moving.

[WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SPIDERS! JUST SPIDERS...!] Jack roared in his mind, as he saw the endless fields!

He squeezed his hand again, as more drops of golden fluid dripped down and formed into more cherubs. These new cherubs rushed to reinforce their brethren. They sliced with their scythes, as the spider corpses fell, they would evaporate into black mist. The screeches and shrill cries of the multitudes of spiders filled Jack's mind and were enough to cloud his own thinking. If not for his experience filtering the voices in his mind, then he would already have had his mind shattered.

The Spider Goddess knitted her brows together, as she saw that the little god was able to fend off her Spider fiends. She was frantic to destroy this little god... He knew too much... Too soon... How he knew about anything of the beyond was a mystery to her. She read Emily's memories, but... Even if he had near-death experiences... To return meant he didn't actually die, so how did he know of death's true form and name!?

An unknown period of time passed as the Spider Goddess' rampaging spiders piled into Jack's Cherubs. Jack's number of Cherubs had reached twenty-one, but they were successfully defending against countless numbers of Spider Fiends... Truly impressive for a new god, even if the Spider Goddess had been weakened by many times from the passage of eons.

Calming down slightly, as she watched her minions continue their attacks, she wondered how this little god knew that she resided in the body of his little lover...

It seems that even she didn't know that she would reveal her god-soul when it was transferred to a new body, and only became conscious when her soul took root in her former body. This was not part of the prophecy she heard through the snores of the Blind Idiot God.

"Why aren't you dying?" The Spider Goddess yelled over the chattering of her Spiders.

Jack was quickly becoming mentally tired, as he spoke in anger, "What kind of question is that?!" Jack took up his Femur Ferula in hand and threw it aiming at the Spider Goddess. The Femur Ferula missed it's target, as the Spider Goddess turned her body slightly, passing next to her shoulder, as she laughed.

"You aren't a Lightning God! You need to go back one hundred thousand years first and learn from Zues!" The Spider Goddess continued to laugh.

"Spider Goddess... NEITH! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY SOUL!"

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

"Huh!?" The Spider Goddess seemed to not understand.

"I said to get the hell... Out... of my soul, NEITH!"

"How does this little god know my name???" The Spider Goddess asked she wondered if he was a peerless sage.

"I don't know about others, but Neith... I know a bit." Jack spoke... He only knew of the web weaver from a game he played in his last life and tried his luck at her name in an attempt to shake her... It seemed it worked. Considering it was either Archne or Neith... He hoped the architecture and dress style of Neolith would prove it Neith... Also considering Emily's Last name...

"Regardless of if you know my name or not, it brings you no benefit, and how is this your soul? At best it's the soul of your little lover, but that doesn't matter now... All of this will be mine, your soul included." The Spider Goddess laughed.

The ground trembled, as Jack stumbled where he had rooted to throw his staff. The very land he stood on was cracking apart. He witnessed the massive form of Neith crawling into one of the large fissures in the ground disappearing from sight.

With Jack's intention, the Cherubs made a small space for him, as another Femur Ferula condensed from the Light.

"Bitch get back here!" Jack flew forward over the hordes of spiders, while his Cherubs cleaved a path as he quickly made his way to the crag that the Spider Goddess disappeared into and out of sight.

Looking into the deep abyssal state of the crag that even the dreamscape's light couldn't penetrate brought Jack endless frustrations that he manifested into words, "FUCK!"

As Jack stood at the edge of Emily's mind, he let his vision wonder from the crag, and into the endless wastes and cracked earth that surrounded him, and into the sky that was still dotted by endless floating mountains.

Still hearing the relentless sounds of battle behind him, Jack turned around to see the ravenous Hordes of spiders continue to match upon his area, as they were continuously cut down by his Cherubs.

Jack looked back at the endless abyssal crag that the Spider Goddess retreated into and beyond his grasp.

"Screw it!"

Jack jumped into the crag as if preforming a diving technique... Or as his former life's crush's diving couch put it... Falling with style...

.......

......

.....

.

Falling... As Jack continued to fall, the sensation of gravity began to lose itself and now with the absence of wind resistance, Jack could only feel that he was now only floating.

Just as Jack began to regret his plunge, a flash of light passed by Jack, as he continued to fall, reinforcing the fact he was in fact still falling! With this flash of light, also came a burst of sound, that soon went silent as fast as it occurred.

Another flash of light, another... Another... and another... Each accompanied by incoherent sound.

Jack slowed his decent, though a strong force was still pushing him down, he managed to see what was passing so quickly.

He saw a moving image... Almost like looking through the eyes of someone else, that someone he guessed was Emily... Was this a memory? It only made sense.

"What a miserable excuse for a sibling... I don't know why Royal-Mother gave unlife to you... Even your wretch of a father, Ugh! I now understand why those fleshy wastes of space Zombie's spit. The fact that I can understand the mannerism of a filthy Zombie makes this even worse!"

Jack watched a tall Zombie woman bash the one behind the vision... His Emily. As Jack came to an understanding that the one being bully was his Emily, his temper began to get the better of him...

[Just who is this stain to bad mouth my Emily...] Jack roared in his mind, just before he decided to move down further into the Crag, as he didn't want to give the Spider Goddess any more time.

"Princess-Sister Moon... I... I didn't mean to knock over your mirror! I-"

Emily's voice faded as Jack continued his decent, though he made a mental note of the name "Princess-Sister Moon..."
