The Reckoning is rumored to be over. 

So the Spider thinks. She rests for a moment in the Parlor, idly collecting thoughts. Her first thought goes to her dearest friend, her love. There’a painful grit of teeth, sadly, she could not see him immediately. But.. She had some questions that needed answering FIRST. 

Steady on her feet, the Spider walks with purpose and vigor. Her strides are fast, within seconds, she’s blinked to the RUINs. Careful to round every corner so not to be caught off guard, the Spiders chipperly regard Miss Muffet as she passes. She hasn’t the time to greet them, she spares a kind smile, but sadly nothing more.  Her heels click with every step, her foot fall sounding to let anyone know she dwells near. If the HUMAN was going to combat her, she’s ready and in the open. She only hopes that their word is kept true. 

He’s been too long. A guard is held, and time begins to march forward once again. However, whatever they do here.. seals the TIMELINE again. There is no way for them to get to the SURFACE if they kill here. She has to remember that. 

Tick.  *Heels click against sogged marsh, the resounding rumbling of the ground has drawn to a cease and silence rests in the air. The world breathes with the soft click of insects dwelling in the area, Echo flowers just far enough out of reach to fade into silence and white noise. The world breathes. 

Tock.

*The hostess stands hidden nearest the river, eyes poised to scan the area so not to be caught off guard. Her friend’s words resonate in her ears. They will learn.. they’ll memorize you and you will die if you are not careful.  Tick *...She went into this fight knowing that. Soon the flowing streams fade into white noise. Soon the world is silent and the faint sound of her own breaths are louder than ever against the white noise of the area.  A predator waits in silence.. prey stalking ever closer with each tread. The air reeks of distrust.  ....?

Tock

*Miss Muffet thinks back to a time where there was nothing. No family, nothing to fight for. A routine and a hint of deja vu knocking at the back of her skull. She clutched her fists. What an idiot. 

Tick *Then she found them, all of them. Everything and everyone she’d missed. That ate at her. Because right after she came to find comfort, right after she was slowly being returned to normalcy..It was ripped from her hands. The spider seethed for a moment. 

Tock > ...No, Focus, deary. Blinded anger won’t win this battle.. It won’t bring anyone back. It won’t SAVE anyone. If I keep on my toes, there isn’t anything I can’t handle. T i c k *..She promised him, didn’t she? She promised Asriel he would get to live again. No matter how long it took her to restore those two years she spent by his side.  A Bitsy never goes back on her word. Not now, not ever. 

*Breath is held... Someone lingers in the dark. The world continues to breathe..

                         Welcome.. to the BEGINNING of the END. 

             [THE DEMON]  [THE VICTIM] [THE MARTYR]  [THE ANGEL] 

                                            [ C O N T I N U E ? ] 

The spider has been laid to rest for the time being. Her head rests gently along a pillow while the others desperately race against the clock to save the HUMAN. The Spider was able to send a final warning to the Doctor in order to save him the stress. 

There was nothing she could do. It took every bit of energy out of her in order to pause for just long enough for Asriel to see the strands of determination converging outward to a point.  

> ...Why do I feel...

Part III: CAUTERIZATION

*Neo goes down easily. Someone realizes they are a bit more human than they realize, and soon the pair must face the music. A Timeline’s worth of dust rests behind them. The HOME STRETCH of this massacre lies before them. the JUDGE awaits.. but, first they must encounter someone familiar.
