"Then don't believe me! Doesn't change the fact that it's true!"

"Hmph."

She scuttled over and started to cut him down again.

"And I don't want my children to starve. We can't all have what we want . . ."

"Depends. What kind of food do you have to offer?"

They returned to the storage room, and the spider prepared to string them up on the wall again.

Thank goodness.

"Lots. But I wont give you any of it if you eat my friend."

The maze was creepy, full of shifting shadows and his own echoing footsteps. That was probably for the best - if he couldn’t determine the direction of his pursuer from the echos, the reverse should be true.

She nodded and started in a direction sheltered from the rain. 

Something pushed up against her brain. She instinctively repelled it, but then hesitantly let it trickle through.

”We’re in the mountains,” she said. “A city in the mountains. Built by… by…” She tried, but she couldn’t remember anything else yet. 

Rebus followed, knowing exactly the answer and wishing he could share it. He also considered having Symbol make the two of them a hang glider, but that would certainly mess up all the plans.

Symbol headed toward the place where the lights were brightest. They emerged into a large courtyard. More pavilions, enclosed and open, were stacked on top of another, reaching to touch a very high roof. No shopkeepers were around, but at least some of the buildings looked like they could be stocked with items. Their footsteps echoed around the space. 

"It's so empty," Symbol said softly. "It's... too empty."

Rebus looked around, then paused. "I see you!" he called out, though in truth, he saw nobody and was bluffing to get an ambush to reveal themselves.

Nobody said anything. 

This was... creepy. Symbol shivered and stepped carefully towards an empty pavilion. "Hello?" She called. 

No reply. Her words echoed hollowly.

Rebus waited, looking for movement.

Symbol searched the partially open pavilion for people. 

"Nobody's here," she reported. "Come on. Let's go up the stairs..."

A fork hopped over.

Stikk looked down at the hopping fork. Usually, they didn't do that, so this one must be special.

"Hello friend fork! Is there something you need help with?" he whispered. If he was too loud, he'd probably draw undue scrutiny from the people in the shop. After all, normal people don't talk to hopping forks.

Scorch plops to the ground. It’s staying.

That gave him little comfort.

Seiretta didn't care.

The fork made assorted screeching sounds.

A bird swooped down and ate it.

She beamed and finished cutting him and Eikooc down.

They found themselves able to walk again.

"Let's go. Quickly." Prie said taking off, but still slow enough for Sieretta to keep up

"I'm sorry friend," Stikk said, "let me hear you better."

Reaching down, Stikk surreptitiously touched the stick--hidden in his sleeve--to the metal of the fork. It was how he could talk to other objects, like the table he had repaired the other night. It was something to do with the layering of their beads in the Shadesmar, according to Pie. He'd been quiet lately, he needed time to adjust to the Physical Realm

Are you fork? Stikk thought at the fork. What do you need from me? And might I say, you appear to be a very good fork.

Seiretta was far faster than him, however.

She waited for them to catch up, leading them down some different passages and avoiding other spiders.

The fork was flattered.

I am a fork.

Prie followed carefully. The fact that they were orange didn't exactly help them hide.

The spiders didn't see the same was he did, however.

She stopped a few minutes in.

"Alright. Now what?"

Yes, and a very good fork at that, thought Stikk with a sigh. But why did you hop over to me? Did you wish for the help of Pie and I?
