Title: Childhood Tales Rating : PG Word Count: 114 Summary (and any Warnings): Stories aren't always stories. Notes: Set pre TIQ. Alanna's first time up close with a Spidren. Not quite spooky, but somewhat supernatural.
"Mithat ran from the beast, rightfully fearing his life. It was an enormous spider, larger than Toth, black and hairy and frightful. But its head was that of a human and it gave a blood-curdling scream as it chased Mithat, squirting out a bright green web. Mithat ducked, but the web caught him, and he fell to the ground. He flailed, trying to break free before the spidren could eat him…"
Alanna shook her head as she focused on the creature that lay dead before her. A spidren, that’s what it was. She smiled grimly, wondering what Maude would think when she heard the creatures in her tales walked the human realms once more.

Short and sweet! It would have been really interesting to see all the characters of Alanna's generation (and earlier) react to seeing immortals for the first time. There weren't enough viewpoints of that in The Immortals quartet! I love the bit of story paired with the action in this.

Wonderful! I love this perspective of the Spidren; your Alanna is great, as always.
