Chapter 9

Melia crawled from the muck, coughing murky water up 
onto the muddy shore. She lay down, exhausted, beside 
the river and fell asleep. When she awoke it was dark 
and the sky was filled with stars. There was very 
little moonlight, however, and as she trudged away 
from the river she stumbled over the thick vines and 
underbrush of the forest. Her tattered garments were 
still damp and she shivered in the night air. She was 
searching for tracks or clues, anything that could 
help her find Alara, who must have taken her for dead. 
It was difficult in the dark and she was unsure at 
times whether she was following a trail or just 
wandering hopelessly through the woods. She knew she 
should probably wait until daylight, but she was 
filled with impatience and an urge to put distance 
between herself and that strange river.

After a few hours of hiking she stopped to lean 
against a tree for a brief rest. Looking around at the 
dark trees her gaze was suddenly caught by a strange 
star-like glittering at the top of a small ridge up 
ahead. It was as if stardust were drifting between the 
pine trees, sparkling in the dark forest. She began 
towards it to inspect closer. Pine needles crunched 
beneath her feet as she crept forward through the 
trees and up the base of the ridge. As she crested the 
ridge she found herself amidst the strange sparkling. 
The air glittered all around her but the night was 
silent.

Melia suddenly thought better of inspecting this 
strange happening in the night. She quickly turned to 
head back but was stopped short as she did so. Her 
left arm seemed to be caught in something, but when 
she looked she found nothing on it, only the 
glittering light reflecting from all around her. She 
tried to free it with her other hand but as she 
struggled she found that both hands were caught in the 
sticky tangle of some invisible web. Then suddenly she 
looked around and realized with horror that was 
exactly it. She watched a section of the sparkling for 
a time and began to see a pattern. The sparkles were 
arranged in the concentric spirals of a nearly 
invisible web strung between the trees. The sparkling 
was just the starlight reflecting off the web's sticky 
strands. She was in the midst of an enormous web 
running through the trees.

Panicked, Melia tried kicking at the webbing around 
her arms and hands, only to get her foot caught as 
well. She thrashed and pushed at the webbing. 
Exhausted, she stopped her moving about and found that 
not only was her entire body caught in the web's 
sticky strands, but she seemed to have moved a bit 
towards the web's center and she was held almost a 
man's height above the ground. Gathering her thoughts 
and trying to keep panic at bay, Melia looked around 
for some means of escape. The web seemed to be 
sticking to her cotton blouse even more than it did to 
her skin, so she tried to wriggle out of it. She 
finally managed to do so, freeing herself a bit, but 
in the process she'd gotten her arms and legs even 
more caught and tangles of webbing had stuck to her 
midsection as well.

As the naked girl struggled, caught in the immense 
web, a large dark creature crawled from one of the 
treetops, onto the web. Melia stopped for a moment, 
distracted by something. Looking up she saw something 
else on the web, moving cautiously toward her. Her 
heart pounded with terror as she realized it must be 
the spider that'd spun this giant web. Its body was 
black as night, nearly as large as a horse, and she 
saw that it had a number of long, thin legs moving 
along the sticky strands of web. The giant predator 
crept toward her and stopped a few feet away, pausing 
to inspect its catch. Melia looked with terror upon 
the shiny black eyes that lay above its mouth. The 
sharp black pinchers opened and closed around its 
mouth and the beast began moving towards her at an 
agonizingly slow pace. Melia trembled with terror as 
the spider loomed over her. Standing over her naked 
body, it lowered its head and she shook with fear as 
it pinched with gentle curiosity at her body.

The spider paused for a moment, seemingly confused. It 
began to scan over her body searchingly. Its shiny 
black eyes inspected her thighs and belly, and 
suddenly its demeanor changed. The creature drew 
itself up over her body and lowered its head toward 
hers. Melia whimpered weakly at the feel of its 
pinchers closing around her neck. Delicately, it held 
her there in its grip while with its many legs it 
began tearing at the sticky webs around her lower 
body, exposing her luscious thighs, the curve of her 
belly, and her long legs. Melia began to 
hyperventilate with fear as she felt something sharp 
upon her neck. The spider injected her only briefly, 
pinching her neck and letting a tiny dose of its 
poison into her bloodstream. Melia's fearful panting 
slowed and her body felt relaxed and easy in the 
spider's careful grip. A feeling of euphoria began 
filling her body and she found herself becoming 
aroused by the creature's pinchers around her neck. 
Pinning her beneath its body, the spider maneuvered 
its stiff, hairy legs to spread her legs and hold them 
high against either side of its huge thorax. Melia 
moaned with desire, writhing in her bonds. The 
spider's member grew and moved close between her 
thighs. A sigh escaped Melia's quivering lips as the 
hard, smooth head of the beast's long, spear-like 
member penetrated her, slipping between her pubic 
lips. Her labia hugged the shiny black shaft as the 
beast pushed into her. It began driving deep into her 
and she thrust her pelvis up against its hard body to 
receive it more deeply. Its prickly legs tickled her 
skin. The sticky webs upon her skin and the sharp 
pinchers around her neck held Melia in place beneath 
the giant spider's body as it brought her to climax, 
pounding into her until it came deep inside her body.

Melia sighed deeply as the creature withdrew its hard, 
shiny member from within her, its thick black semen 
dribbling down between her thighs as its thick shaft 
slipped from between her labia. Then, quickly and 
quietly as it had come, the spider left her and 
scurried up its web to disappear into the treetops. 
Still unable to move, Melia drifted off to sleep lying 
naked on the web.


Melia awoke cold and shivering. A heavy rain was 
falling and she lay soaked on the giant spider web. A 
sudden clap of thunder startled her she instinctively 
covered her ears. To her surprise, she found that she 
could move her arms freely. Squirming a bit, she found 
that she could move her whole body. The rain was 
destroying the web's sticky strands. She quickly 
climbed down to the ground crouched, huddling for 
warmth. She decided it would be best to move away from 
the spider's domain as soon as possible, so she 
started down the hill, rain running down over her 
naked body. In the dark it was impossible to find 
Alara's trail, and with the rain she doubted if she 
would ever find it again. Nonetheless, she headed in 
the general direction she'd been going before, jogging 
through the forest to keep warm. After a few hours the 
rain stopped, making the going a bit easier. She 
continued on until sunrise. The morning air was 
growing warmer and the sky began to shine with orange 
light as she came to the forest's edge. Standing at 
the end of the trees she looked out across a deep, 
lush valley. She headed out into the field of deep 
yellow grass at the valley's rim. The tall grass 
brushed her thighs as she walked through it and the 
growing morning sun warmed her body. She realized just 
how exhausted she was from running through the cold 
forest all night. She came to a single small tree in 
the grass. It was young, no more than ten or twelve 
feet tall, but it had a hard, dry look, as if it had 
been blasted by lightning. Sitting in the grass, she 
leaned up against its trunk and fell asleep with 
morning light warming her skin.

Melia dreamt of a warm paradise of soft, flowing hills 
and streams. She gathered honey and brought it to the 
ancient trees, who, in exchange, gave her draughts of 
their pleasure drinks, filling her body with elation. 
She walked out to a warm field with a bowl, drank its 
contents and lay down in the golden sunlight.

Melia's eyes slowly opened. She was unsure whether she 
was awake or still dreaming. The land around her was 
just as in her dream. She sat in a field of tall 
golden grass and the sun overhead warmed her skin. Her 
body felt wonderfully free sitting naked in the grass. 
Tingling pleasure ran up and down her spine. The grass 
tickled her bare skin, dry bark against her back.

The feel of bark on her bare back began to slide to 
her sides, tickling her skin. She sighed at the feel 
of bark beneath her right arm, lightly touching the 
side of her breast. The feel of bark also moved across 
the left side of her waist, touching her stomach. She 
felt it upon her right nipple, which stiffened as she 
sighed with pleasure. She looked down to see long, 
branch-like fingers sliding down her stomach, past her 
navel. Her eye's shut tight, Melia's head fell back 
and a moan escaped her trembling lips as the rough 
fingers slid gently down her belly and between her 
smooth thighs. Leaning back against the tree trunk, 
she opened her legs and sighed passionately as a thin 
fingertip brushed through her black hair and over her 
clitoris. She felt bark sliding down her lower back 
and the bulge of a root pushed itself beneath her, 
sliding between her buttocks. She moaned at the feel 
of hard, smooth wood sliding beneath the junction of 
her legs. Glancing down, she saw a long, stiff, upward 
curving wooden phallus sliding beneath her, extending 
nearly a foot past her belly. She became moist at the 
feel of its shaft sliding beneath her labia, and ached 
to be filled with it.

A pair of branch-like hands grabbed her sides and 
lifted her, easily as a child, from the ground. They 
turned her around to face the tree and she saw that it 
was not a tree, but some kind of tree-beast with 
manlike features. Still rooted to the ground, its 
branches had grown to arms and hands with long digits. 
The knots and lumps on its trunk were twisted into the 
form of a face and one of it's roots seemed to have 
grown to an enormously long, smooth phallus. The 
beast's hands holding her under her arms, Melia 
wrapped her legs around its trunk as it lowered her 
towards its extended member. The moist lips between 
her thighs touched the hard wooden tip of its phallus 
and slipped open as the beast lowered her onto its 
lengthy prick. She felt it sliding up into her 
slippery warmth, filling her vagina and pushing up 
inside her body. Her lips quivered and drooled as her 
own weight pushed her down, impaling her on the long 
wooden dick.

Melia began to come slowly, and the juices that 
dribbled from between her vaginal lips dripped down 
the wooden shaft coating it with slipperiness. She 
slowly slid farther down the shaft and her entire body 
shuddered with pleasure as the hard wooden member 
pushed far up inside her body.
