Children of Darkness (Soul of Void) - [FGoD!Error Sans]

Spiders

He had never dared to approach a Spider Monster, but he knew that they definitely didn't look like the spider in front of him, which might well be another good reason to trust her.

(And the feeling on the back of his head telling him the he was safe with her could also be factor on all of this).

The sound of hundreds of feet moving brought him back to his current situation, the first thing that caught his attention was the huge web in front of him, or should I call it a town? He could distinguish streets, houses, and what he guessed were stores spread throughout the entire mega web.

It looked so full of life and happiness that he couldn't help but think that even Dream would have loved it even when it was standing in the middle of these dark caves.

He then remembers who he was talking about and decided to focus on more important things, like the Spider Lady who seemed to be talking to him.

And he still didn't understand a word.

So, there is a language barrier and it wasn't just her having a weird accent.

This could be a problem.

...

Not an insurmountable problem, but it would definitely be a hassle even if he manage to get a pen and paper, if there was such a thing here, who knew if certain symbols meant the same thing here as where he came from.

The Spider Lady seemed to be thinking the same thing as him as she had started to make a figure out of the soft earth at her feet.

Nightmare... didn't really understand what she drew, it looked like a horned figure surrounded by smaller horned creatures, to the side she drew what seemed to be him, but his head was similar to that giant creature.

So, his feet weren't the only thing that changed drastically, if he could trust the drawing, now he had horns, but he still didn't want to check that out for himself.

She proceeded to draw arrows that went from him to the creature.

So either she was telling him that he was going to become that thing or that he was supposed to go with that thing.

Was this his new parent, this is how it looked? Or was she telling him that this being would help find his way through this new world?

A look around him showed that no, at least here, there was nothing that looked the least bit like what the Spider Lady had drawn.

The sand drawings continued for a while, Nightmare discovered that the spider in front of him was someone of great rank among the spiders, perhaps a queen of some sort if he could trust the crown-like symbol she pointed at herself.

He tried to tell her that his brothers might also be lost in the tunnels, he wasn't sure if she fully understood him, but she seemed to send other spiders to look for them so that was good he supposed.

Their little attempt at communication was interrupted by a roar, Nightmare braced himself for an attack, the Spider Lady answered the roar with one of her own.

And the roar answered...

Oh, they were talking, okay, good.

Although something must not have gone right with the talk because Lady Spider quickly panicked, she began to mobilize all the spiders that could hear her, were they under attack or something?

The collective panic lasted for a while, the Spider Lady didn't seem to decide between staying with him or going to deal with whatever was going on, and she didn't seem to calm down enough to try to explain it with drawings.

If being honest, Nightmare was starting to get worked up too when a shriek came from a tunnel above them.

Everything went suddenly silent at that, the Spider Lady answered with a shriek that sounded angry and hysterical, the answer she received sounded almost embarrassed, then almost proud.

It wasn't long before several figures peered out of the tunnel entrance.

Two of these figures looked very similar to the first drawing that the Spider Lady did.

The smaller figure descent and quickly went to hug the Spider Lady, they began to speak but Nightmare didn't even pay attention to them or the other three who looked like some kind of knights, no, his eyes were fixed on the horned creature that was cautiously approaching to him.

They looked like nothing he has ever seen before and still, a part of him feels like he should know what they were.

They approached him slowly, as if they believed that any sudden movement would make him flee or attack, and in other circumstances maybe he would, but right now, the only thing he felt with his presence was calm and security.

They weren't going to hurt him.

It didn't take them long to close the distance between them and when was close enough to him, they reached up and cupped Nightmare's face with a gentleness that almost brought tears to his eyes.

It felt so right, as if his Soul had filled a emptiness he didn't know it had.

Their foreheads came together, then they spoke, and for the first time since he woke up in this world, Nightmare understood what they said.

Ignore that it took me 3 moths to update, school, work, a little brainrot and that little flashback of Nightmare were slowing me down.

I swear there were like 4 versions of that flashback, there was a grandma spider on one of them, poor lady, she dead and her death doesn't even got into the final cut, F in the chat.

Also, a little side note here, please, this story is not getting discontinued or anything, I know I sometimes take a while on update, but I have a life outside Wattpad and as much as I want to update every week, I have other things to take care of, including my own health.

That aside, I really hope y'all enjoy the update, next one is Error-Killer arriving to the Abyss and a little sneak into what the Voidverse think of the destruction of AUs now that Error ins't there to be blamed!
