Third Person’s POV

Castle of the Two Sisters

“Will you accept my friendship?” Celestia asked her beloved little sister who immediately hugged her.

“I’m sorry sister!” Luna cried.

While this was happening, Fluttershy was inspecting the Castle as something picked her interest.

‘These webs… They’re the same as the one placed on my hoof.’ She thought as she started to inspect the said web that were all around the ruined Castle.

‘Not only is it the same kind of web, it is a web covering all the weak spot of the Castle.’ She analysed, an attitude that was caught by Arcno who immediately changed his plans.

‘Fluttershy will do, at least I’m sure I won’t be blasted with her.’ He thought as he stopped breaking through his webs to wait for the perfect moment.

“Are you alright Flutters?” Asked RD who noticed the look that Fluttershy had on her face, the only look when she perfectly looked composed.

“Oh… yes.” She replied while looking at the many webs around the ruins, something that RD noticed as she started to look where Fluttershy was looking.

“What’s up with the webs?” RD asked loud enough for the others to hear.

“Now that you say that.” Twilight said while inspecting an unnaturally big group of web on the roof, something that would look like a cocoon.

“Fluttershy, do you know what this is?” Rarity asked in disgust at the webs covering the many cracks of the wall.

“Maybe some spiders inhabit the Castle, well a lot of spiders.” Fluttershy stated as she looked at the webs, she knew that it wasn’t a pack of spiders as none of them could produce so much web of this quality.

“Come my little ponies, there’s a celebration we need to finish.” Celestia said while going out of the room, all the other ponies smiled and followed her, well some of them did as only one of them stayed behind, hypnotised by the webs.

“What kind of spider could make such a web?” Fluttershy asked full of curiosity, and the spider himself turned the green light at this question.

“Mine.” He said on instinct, something he didn’t regret as it was what he intended.

“Who’s there?” Fluttershy asked while looking around to see where the voice came from.

She then started to noticed the cocoon like web hanging on the ceiling, curious of what it might be, she slowly flew to it until she backed away when she saw that the web started to move more and more.

After a while, spider legs with unknown markings sprouted from the cocoon like web, then, the back of a tarantula could be seen starting to come out and finally, the front body of a spider could be seen with four emerald eyes looking straight at Fluttershy.

The spider then jumped and landed on the ground in front of Fluttershy who was frozen in fear, not from the spider itself but from the size of it which was comparable to a hydra, something she was very afraid of.

“You… were here the whole time?” Fluttershy asked finally composing herself, she was now more curious than ever of this mythical spider that had relics marked on it’s entire body.

“Yes.” it responded which shocked Fluttershy as it was the first animal who spoke to her, she of course talked with animals but it was the first time an animal talked like a pony.

“Oh my goodness you can talk!” Fluttershy had now curiosity overload as she was literally flying around the massive spider as fast as RD.

It was then that Fluttershy realised something.

“The webs, did you make them?” She asked the huge spider.

“Yes.” it replied to her who then launched herself at the spider to hug it.

“Thank you for saving me!” She exclaimed while hugging the giant who itself didn’t mind the hug at all, in fact he liked it.

“No problem.” He said.

“Oh excuse me, I’m Fluttershy, do you have a name?” She asked breaking the hug in embarrassment.

“I am Arcno, the Arachnid Emperor.” He said in the same royal way as the Princess Celestia herself.

‘R-royalty? No, from an Imperial family? If I remember correctly, Emperors have higher powers than Royalty!’ She thought in shock as she started to bow in front of the Imperial animal.

“P-please excuse me from my rudeness.” She said shyly, unable to look in those emerald eyes.

“Do not mind, my kingdom is in ruin anyways.” Arcno replied, it was true as his ‘kingdom’ as he said was the Temple of Time, which was in ruin in the present time.

“Oh.” Fluttershy said in shock, she felt pity for the poor spider who lost his home, then it also explained why her spider friends were acting weird like soldiers when she woke up yesterday.

“Please do not alert your friends, I doubt I’ll be accepted yet.” He said in sadness, well he kind of faked his sadness as he really didn’t care much.

“But… ok, but you can come to my home if you want to.” Fluttershy said which was replied by a nod from the imperial spider.

“Now weren’t you supposed to go celebrate?” Arcno asked which quickly made Fluttershy remember that she would be late at this point.

“Oh no! I’ll be late!” She exclaimed while panicking around the room, Arcno just sighed and picked Fluttershy to place her on his back.

“Hold tight.” He said and Fluttershy immediately did so.

Arcno then started to go through one of the windows that was big enough to fit him through, after that, Fluttershy was surprised to not fall to gravity as Arcno was walking on the outer wall of the Castle making her wonder of he was able to control gravity itself.

After walking back on the ground, Arcno started to run at a surprising speed even for his size, Fluttershy was,lucky that Arcno’s back was fluffy and that it was supporting her, she noticed that some of Arcno’s legs was breaking any branch that would threaten her which made her smile.

After a while of rushing through the Forest, Fluttershy started to see the borders of the Forest then Arcno slowly stopped before the outskirt of the forest and put Fluttershy on the ground.

“Go.” He said to her which saddened her a little that her friend and saviour wouldn’t come to the celebration with her, but she understood that not many would accept a spider, and that nopony would accept him, yet.

“Goodbye.” Fluttershy said as Arcno waved her goodbye before he vanished in the vast Forest that was the Everfree Forest.

“Fluttershy! Where were you?” Applejack asked while running towards Fluttershy with the others.

“Hey Flutters!” RD said while hugging at Fluttershy.

“Come on darling, the party is not over!” Rarity said while at the same having tons of confetis coming at her from out of nowhere.

“No it isn’t!” Pinkie exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Everfree Forest.

‘That went better than expected’ Arcno thought as he went through the Forest to go back to the nest, he was thinking of how anyone could die of a heart attack just from being hugged by Fluttershy, something that nearly happened to him.

‘Now I’m cringing because of my title, Arachnid Emperor? What the hell?’ He thought after remembering his introductions, intro he did while copying Celestia, he felt so bad from telling her that.

He arrived at the nest after thinking about what happened until now.

When he looked inside the nest, he was surprised to see the kid’s molt laying on the ground with the kids themselves bigger and more terrifying now, they passed from baby gohmas to young gohmas, a bigger version with bigger everything.

When they saw Arcno, they all started to run towards him and cuddle him while others climbed on top of him.

‘Kids are still kids.’ He thought before playing with the little spiders.

‘I can’t wait for the next time we meet Fluttershy.’ He thought as he played with the kids.

Meanwhile, unknown location

“My queen, we captured a beast from the Everfree Forest.” A soldier reported before bringing in a spider looking beast with one big eye, it was as big as a young pony.

“Perfect” An intimidating voice said before revealing as being Chrysalis, Queen of the changelings.

“Fall under my rule beast.” She chanted before casting a spell on the young gohma, completely turning it into her servant.

“Hahahaha! Soon Celestia, Soon.”
