death and spiders (anansi)
Makaria was happy she touched base with Loki. More than happy. She was glad she was catching up with all of her friends. But the list was short and she had decided she needed more friends and less family. Or rather less friends that were strictly family. Oh her Father and Mother were good company most of the time, but throw in her Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, Nephews and Nieces and it got confusing. She was related to most of Olympus somehow. Some way. It was way confusing. So much so that she avoided the Mountain all together when she could help it. Like today. Today she was on the Mortal Realm and not looking for the next departed soul.
No. Makaria had just remembered another friend she'd briefly made. What she was looking for was a bunch of Spiders. She couldn't remember what Pantheon that Anansi had been from. But she remembered all the Spiders. He was a Spider sometimes, she thought, so maybe if she asked a Spider nicely they'd lead her to him?
Or maybe he'd just hear her?
Well, she found the biggest meanest spider she could. Small ones would have worked, but Makaria was death so she wasn't afraid of a big bird eating spider at all! Nope! She was trailing after the thing, and the thing kept running away from her. Every now and then it'd turn and try to scare her off but she was bigger than the Spider was so it simply began running again.
"Hey wait! Wait! I just want to find my friend Anansi!" Makaria yelled after it. "Come on you have to know Anansi!"
