"Shit! Shit! Shit!!!"
Flamme's panicked voice echoed across the cliffside as her cocooned body swung like a trapped piece of bait, the sticky strands groaning under her frantic struggling.
She wriggled left and right, looking more like a worm on a hook than the "genius summoner" she prided herself on.
"Don't come near me, you ugly monsters! N-Neru! Blazen! Kam! Anni! Cool! Kanta! Sel! Somebody help meee! Aghhh!"
Her voice cracked as she screamed, tossing out the names of her contracted spirits like lifelines, her eyes darting in every direction.
"If there's even any spirits out there, I'll even offer a fifty-fifty contract! Half! Fifty-fifty! That's a big deal, you know! Just get me out of here!"
Her words carried into the abyss, but there was no answer.
No flicker of light, no stirring in the weather.
Nothing.
Even if the spirit world was listening, no sane spirit would respond to a summoner dangling helplessly above a nest of starving arachnids.
