Ahriman approached the Sovereign's chambers, since her recent transformation she spent most of her time here with her "children".

She was always a beautiful woman but in her new form she was stunning, and equally terrifying. The shadowy Umbraletellria realm suited her appearance and demeanour and she flourished here.

A part of Ahriman wished in his heart that she would abandon her quest of complete domination of the entirety of the Nine Realms. But she had been driven by blind revenge, and now that her machinations were so close to bearing fruit, who was he to dissuade her.

One of the shadowy infant arachnids scuttled over to investigate the newcomer to its domicile. Ahriman knelt to have a better look at the pellucid creature. It reared up on its hind legs and hissed menacingly. Rebecca made kissy noises and the mite clamoured back to her and nestled itself in her hair and trilled happily.

Ahriman looked around the chamber, there were now scores of them scattered around the room. All spinning obsidian black webs to mark their tiny domains.

After consoling her offspring, Rebecca addressed her visitor, "Ahriman my informants have given me some troubling news about Chrys. Apparently he is making his way to Aerieuntok by way of the Cascade. He is only one day's journey away on the Styx. They assure me that he is on some foolish quest to save some Parrot girl from the harpies. Saying that she is some powerful entity called a READER. What are your thoughts on the matter?"

"Sovereign I have no knowledge of what a READER is maybe just one of Chrys' delusions. I can ask our informant at Wattpad if she has any idea what this is about. My sources on board Rheam'hent's ship tell me that Chrys has met his untimely end. Sovereign, what would you like me to do about Myrheana's betrayal?"

As the blue demon mentioned the Anuraan, drips of drool hungrily fell from his toothy maw.

"Punish her as you deem fit, you deserve a little fun for all your hard work dear." She spoke with a seductive lilt to her cadence.

Ahriman bowed deeply, "You humble me Sovereign" he exited quickly and made arrangements
