Couple of weeks and we had more monsters smuggled into our districts than what we originally were. At this rate the humans are definitely gonna find out. As days go by, I am troubled with how things are moving ahead and thinking hard how to resolve this problem. It's not that we can deny our own brethren sanctuary, or can send back the people in hope of making a living here. The best solution would be everyone acknowledging what Archeaven truly is. A common home for humans and monsters alike. A peaceful heaven for the homeless and the outcasts. If only there was a way to tell everyone in a way they would accept it.
"BOOOOOOM!!!"
"Master, there are enemies at the gate."
Enemies? What enemies, did we have enemies? I tried recalling who could it be as I ran towards the gate. As it came to view, the big sturdy gate, so I thought, was no more, only pieces of it blown everywhere. I rushed in and saw a stand off between our guys and a single giant spider like monster.

She was far above any of us and we won't stand a chance against such a monster. So the only thing I saw possible to get out of this was talk to talk her.
"Who are you? What do you want here?" I spoke as calmly as possible though it was very hard at the moment.
"Are you in charge here tiny demon."
Of course she can see through the disguise.
"Yes, how can I be of service."
"From now on your dungeon is belongs to us, you'll submit your crystal and leave immediately if you wish to live."
"Who is us? Where are you from?"
"Allow me to introduce your new owners, I am Lolth, I serve my queen Zuggtmoy of the Fungus Dungeon. I have noticed few of my prisoners fleeing here and thanks to them your stupid dungeon is going to be ours now. What kind of dungeon is this anyway. Serves you right."
"Look, we don't have much but is there a way other than violence? Anything we can offer to establish peaceful co-existence"
"I don't have time or authority to bargain with you." She sighs and screams out. "Go forth and kill them all" as she sends out massive amount of spiderlings all around.
Boom!!! A massive fireball hits the ground in front of her, killing almost half of her just spawned spiderlings.
"Are you sure you want to fight us" Jordan made an intro. "Your spiders don't look fire proof."
Lolth spits out sticky fluid at high speed towards Jordan in spite and Jordan quickly dodges. As expected the ground sizzled and smoked.
Thwaak!!! Viredeo tries to cut one of her legs off, taking her by surprise. It was as if her legs were made of steel but she did feel that cut and annoyed she gave him a good round kick. It was so quick, Viredeo was not able to dodge on time and was thrown off quite a few meters back. Gnas and Laria pulled out a couple move one jumping and attacking from above and another dashing straight at her to distract her. Lolth was more careful this time around and was able to parry both.
As more spiders came out from every where almost everyone of us including non citizen humans were fighting one as of now. If it weren't for those spiders coming one after another we could have focused on Lolth and may be we could have stood a chance. At this rate she will pick us off one by one. Looks like I have to lose my disguise and go all out.
