My story.. Chapter 1 the begian...
..18+
Today ganny gave me a note book and said I should use it to write down importent events. She said it might help me in my learning? I wonder what she means, but ganny always has her reasons for doing what she does and I have learned not to ask her to many questions since meeting her.
13
As I sit here in my room wondering what I should write about, I think back to the first time I'd seem ganny. I had run into the woods to hid from some bullies and was sitin on a low tree branch when I heard this low humming. I looked down to see an old women humming and every so often bending to cut or pluke some plant from the ground. I watch her for a very long time untill she'd disapeared
behind some trees. I begain to wonder was she the old witch people talked about in town? I hiden in the woods a lot over the years, it had been the best place to hid from the bullies, ma, and just about anyone else since most wouldn't follow. I started hearing the stories as to why no one liked going into the woods about a year ago. Most talked about an old witch said to have hunted the woods and how she would eat anyone she found in her woods. At first the stories scared me and I stayed out of the woods for a long time, but this day I had forgoten all of the
stories in my hast to get aways from the bullies and out of habbit run right into the woods and up a tree as I had done so ofter over the years. Seeing the old woman
reminded me though of all the stories I had ever heard about the the old witch. Now I became scared, could the stories true? If I moved or made a sound would she come back to eat me? I desided to wait before climbin down out of my hiden place just in case. I waited a very long time before I moved, and it was after night fall when I desided to come down. I knew by this time not only would the
bullies had given up, but she had to have been long gone too?? I ran all the way home ma wasn't there as useale but there was bread and cheese on the table, I grabed it and ran into the back room clossing all the doors behind me.
It was about a week later before I dared go back into the woods.. Why is it fear becomes less over time?? I don't know but for some reason I had talked myself into beliving there was no way the old woman I had seen could have been
the witch I had heard so many stories about? For days I would hid in my tree waiting for the old woman to pass by. As each day passed and I didn't see her I became less and less scared of her, weeks passed before I heard her
humming again. By this time I had become breave? or was it stupid? enough to follow her while she did her cuting and pulling. I thought I had stayed hiden, and quite, but I guess I hadn't, beacuse after what seemed like hours, she bent over some plant, and out of nowhere. She stoped humming and said "It is very rude not to have intrudoced ourself." I nearly jumped out of my hiden place, but I
knew I had been found out, and all I could say was please don't eat me! She laugh so hard at that it left me standing there stuned at her reaction.....I had to smile
at all I had learned since then.

I remabered the day she desided it was time for me to learn to protect myself from the bullies, ma and anyone else. I'd just been beating up again by some of the town bullies and had run into the woods and all the way to her home crying. As I got there she very calmly as if I had been there the whole time, she pointing to one of her many plants and said see this plant? Sun, rain and soil help this it grow, but if it was to have too much or not enough of any one of these it would harm the plant, ballance is what helps the plant grow strong and full. She then looked
at me and said you child need balance. You know many things but you don't know how to protect yourself from simple bullies. By this point I had spent the last year or so learning the whens hows and what nots of hurbs, plaints and potions both for healing and posioning. I'd also learned how to harmoniz with my body, and with the forces in the univers all around for the best of benafits. But in all that time I had also learned her way of doing things, and whenever she'd felt it was time for me to learn something new it would start in a manner something like this. Weeks would go by though before found out what she had ment when she intrudouced Hawk to me saying he was to be my new teacher. I didn't like him very much when I first met him, but then I naver realy liked new people. Him being my teacher in self defence may not have helped much either. Over the next year he tought me what he had called the basics stuff like hand to hand individual
combat, tumbleings, falling, jumping, grappling and weapons like staffs, sticks an simler stuff. I think that was becuase ganny wouldn't allow for other weapons. She'd alsways tought ballance and to naver take a life unless it couldn't be avoided. I'd soon learned ganny wasn't a bad fighter herself though, since she took part in my training as well. Part of my training inclouded them takeing turns
attacking me when I least expected it. They said it was to test what I had learned and how I would reacted to the attacks. I guess the training was working though since after a while, it became easyer and easyer to reverse gannies attacks. I still had trouble reversing Hawk's attacks though, it seemed just as I thught I'd figgered out some kind of pattern he whould change it. Though I must have been doing something right becuase somewere along the way he desided he would teach me nerve or soft tissue striking in a very painful way. I did feel much
better though once I was able to consitently reverse gannies attacks, I no sooner did though and she desided it was time for me to learn demon lore. Yea thats what I thought too, I had laughed and said there was no such thing as demons. At that she'd given me a sad look, pulled out one of her many books, handed it to me and said I'd had much to learn. That book would be the first of many.

Over the next year I was to read many books on demons, evil spirits, folklores, and ancient religions. Many even had incantations both for calling up demons, and
controling them, as well as getting rid of them. At first it was the tipicle stuff you'd read about like imps, warewolves, vampires, and the other evil spirits from the
many religiouse beliefs or diffrent folktales around the world. Then one day one of books I was readings seemed to hold gannies intrest, it seemed as if she was asking more question then normal, and wanting my thoughts on what I'd read just about every other chapter. She even made me re-read it when I was done, I thought this was odd even for her. On my 2nd reading though I'd seen what it was I guess she was hopeing I would find on my own. I was of demon hetrage, or more likely half demon, with a link to that of the arachnoid demons. Maybe it should have upset me or scared me to learn these things, but it didn't. For me explained so many things. Like why I had golden eyes, and white hair? Why ma was so distent? Why it seemed importent to ganny I learn so much? and maybe even why she was so agenst my and Hawk's love for each other. Ok I'll admite this last had me just a little worryed as well since by this time hawk and I had become lovers.
Spider demons it seemed threw out history had taken on many roles since their creaton by the obyrith. Many folktails spoke of them as creators or healers, others
spoke of them as being evil, vendictive, or even tricksters while others spoke of them as gods or goddess. The spider demons were once a race of arachnoid demons who grew so proud they belived themself better then all other races. The great races of the abyss seeing this pride desided to punish the spider demons by curseing them. They then made the seed of all the males ineffective and useless in all races even that of their own race. In order for their race to not compleatly die out the females were then forced to go elsewhere for mates in order to produce
offspring. This in effect forced them to mate with human males, the one race they considered to be the lowest of all races. Do to this new mateing arangement the spider demon would loss a partion of their DNA that would have allowed for veryations in their blood line. Do to this DNA loss only females would be born to their race, and they would carry the famale trates of the spider demons. For the most part they would look very human sept for their white or bright red hair, and golden, ember or mucery colored eyes. Once they have mated and are with offspring they will again for a short time know the noble form of the spider demon. Much of the history had been destroyed over the centuries but there were hints at a belife that one day the great races of the abyss would lift the curse once the spider demons as a race learned humility. I had desided maybe it was time to ask ganny all she knew about the spider demons, and myself. She said she realy didn't know much more then what could be learned from her books, and that I was welcome to read them all if I wished. She did have some answers that I wouldn't find in any of her books. She explained to me that when my mother had come to her after hearing of her she was already trancfureing to spider demon form. Ganny didn't think there would be much hope since ma was so for into her
trancfigeration it wasn't easy to bring us forth. Yes us as I was soon to learn, I was one of 5 offspring and the only survivor. Those who didn't die while being brought forth died not long after do to being brought forth too soon. Ganny had rased me for the first year of my life, then when I was strong enough she'd sent for my mother to rase me untill I was ready for teachings. Ma wasn't realy a bad mother, just not the most loveing. Don't get me wrong she did make sure all my basic needs were taken care of, schooling, food, shelter that kind of stuff but that
was as for as it wint. It also explained other things like why she naver realy stoped me from going into the woods over the years. I asked ganny if she'd known anything about my father, she said my mother naver told her anything about him, and she didn't think even my mother would remamber much about him. I was about to ask what she ment when she said that was enough for now. She said I should wait to ask any other questions untill I'd finshed my demon lore and had read the rest on spider demons...Well I hear ma coming home... i'll have to hide th

I haven't writen in this for a while now but I'v been so busy trainings, reading and other stuff, I don't even know were to start?
I'v spent the last few weeks learning what Hawk says are more advanced munorvers. We've also benn playing some kind of game of hide and seak we sometimes even use disguises to make it harder for the other to spot us. Ganny has let me ask her any questions yet, she says I need to finish reading the last of the demon lore books first, then she'll answer what ever questions I might still have. Normaly she's eager to answer questions, but lattly it's as if she's destracted by something. At first it was little things, then I started noticing some of her hurbs were depleating forther then she would normaly have let them. Resently I'v even noticed her and Hawk whispering when they think I'm not looking. Even her given me this note book and telling me to write things down seems a little odd for her.
I'v try'd getting Hawk to tell me what they have been talking while he and I are training, but he seems as clossed liped as she's been.
