nDuring the storm, Lizy and the surviving spiderling found the island she lived on now and had decided that landing on it was better than dying in the storm. The group of fifteen spiderlings landed on the island, and this was before the Demons had arrived.

nLizy and her group had thought that they had finally reached safety, and in a way, they had; the creatures of the island left them alone. They found the lava lake that is controlled by the Demon Lord Dao, but Lizy soon learned the value of her mother's words.

nThings had been good for the first two weeks, and Lizy had even gotten close to one of her sisters, Mackenna. The two hunted together and even would share their meals before eating them or trading before eating.

nThen one of Lizy's brothers disappeared, but no one knew where he had gone. Mackenna and I, like the others, had just assumed that he must have left to go to explore.

nOne day later, another one disappeared, and all the spiderlings started to get worried because none of them had any idea where they were going. Then the disappearances stopped once we started to keep track of each other.

nThings were normal for about a month for the remaining ten, and everyone started to relax. Then six of the spiderlings went missing, and Mackenna was one of them, but Lizy and the others were too scared to leave the crater.

nThen Mackenna returned covered in cuts and burns, and the others had rushed to help her, but Lizy hadn't. She created a spear as the last three others had their upper bodies cut to small pieces as Mackenna whipped her Steel Silk at them.

nLizy hadn't waited to ask her why because in her heart and ringing in her head were her mother's words as the Steel Silkspun spear left her hand. Trust no one; they will all betray you in the end.

nThe spear had struck her, and Mackenna was surprised as she saw who had thrown it and had called out to Lizy, saying that she did this for them. Lizy had waited an entire day just to make sure that her sister was dead and then went and tossed her body into the fire lake.

nFor years, Lizy lived alone, having her way with the creatures of the lake, and then would devour them, but always felt like something was missing. No matter how much she took her pleasures, no man or even woman could satisfy her need, and that was most of the reason why she killed them after.

nThen the Demons arrived on the island, and Lizy was chased out of the East Fire Lake, and she was forced to find a new home. The north and south Fire Lakes creatures had heard of her and refused to have her stay with them.

nAfter killing many monsters, Lizy was able to make it to the West Fire Lake that was under the control of an Elemental that had come with one of the Demon Lords. She heard that Mex wasn't like the other demons and was made fun of because he wasn't mean.

nDeciding that this was her best chance, Lizy arrived at the West Fire Lake. This was also the first time that she met Jilly, the Oomukade.

nDue to her past experiences, Lizy had decided to try and befriend the women. Secretly, she started to plan how to get rid of her.

nThe problem was while a bit rude at times, Jilly was actually really nice. Lizy hated to admit it to herself, but she had started to almost like Jilly.

nEach time Lizy would feel that way, the sounds of her mother's words would start to echo in her mind, and she would remember. Jilly was a carnivore like Lizy, so in her mind, there was only one way this could end, but Lizy didn't think she could take her in a fight.

nWhile Lizy was taller at Jilly's standard resting height, the woman moved and struck faster. Lizy had watched her with her prey, and when she was done with the creatures, she killed them in a blink and then devoured them.

nInstead, Lizy had decided to use Jilly's naiveness against her, tricking her into a game that she cheated to win. Lizy had made a bet in a fun and joking manner but made sure to do it in front of Fireden so she couldn't back out but said the winner chooses the prize.

nThe rest of her story was history now, but Lizy didn't understand why she felt so horrible for the way that she had treated that little Gog girl. That was how she treated everyone, but it was because it was only a matter of time, so why was it bothering her so much?

nLizy closed her eyes and let the events play in her mind. Keri had burst into her room, but why?

nLizy tried to remember, and when it came to her. The little red woman had burst into my room talking about some idea about an underwater boat.

nAlready in a horrible mood, Lizy had snapped at the fact that this creature had woken her up for nonsense. Her reaction was normal for her, and only because of the stupid man had she not been able to kill her.

nYet, Lizy knew what she had done was wrong down to the core of her soul for some reason. Even though the idea might have been stupid, that coward had come rushing into Lizy's room instead of Jilly's.

nIt was easy for Lizy to see where the mistake was now, but she was still struggling with an internal fight about why it was. The man had done something to her that was slowly trying to silence the echo of her mother's warning.

nAs Lizy sat in her closet shaking with a raging storm of emotions inside of her, she started to cry. As the tears fell, Lizy started to wonder if what was happening to her was really that bad?

nMaybe it might be worth trying to be more likable?
