CHAPTER 22
Ten thousand spiders both male and female battled on the field of CELETIA forest against nearly a hundred vampires to save ourselves, our children and our underground country Nor Marie from being overtaken by Vampires. The five thousand young spiders totaled to fifteen thousand spiders in all; they remained behind, at home, while we fought against the southern white spirit vampires and won. And now, fifty spiders lay dead on the battle field the number include our spider leader and creator Pisces. Only fourteen thousand, nine hundred and fifty spiders remain alive in underground country Nor Marie.
What the southern white spirit vampires did to Pisces in war broke ARANHA'S heart, it touched all of us in a very sad way placing a dark cloud over every spider in underground country Nor Marie. We pepared to funeralize our creator; ARANHA walked around in a sullen mood, she dressed in black, she was in deep mourning. The day of the funeral our hearts were heavy and filled with sorrow, we had lost our creator and leader. Victoria SICARIIDAE and Andrea WALCKENAER was torn over Pisces death and they cried like pitiful helpless children, we all cried the lost of our creator. Victoria and Andrea cried the worst of tears. But no one of us was torn over Pisces death as his wife ARANHA, she took her husbands death very badly and the instant she laid her teary eyes upon him lying peaceful inside the black oval shape wooden Catholic coffin ARANHA laid her precious head upon Pisces chest and weep like a pitiful child in remorse. Pisces funeral was held at Rose of Saint Mary Catholic Church was prepared like an indoor garden, it was so pretty and we all dressed in the most elegant wear, the male spiders in black suits and white shirts with black cuff links, and the female spiders wore fancy dresses and spider hats. The males wore pitch black barefoot sandles and the females wore fancy, black, barefoot sandle with crystal diamonds on them at the pinkie toe.
We lined twos as we came down the Aisle, the morticians, said it helped to support each other in case one of us was overcome by seeing Pisces in the coffin and collapsed. Finally the last of us passed by the coffin in, and in between moving past it we viewed Pisces bodily remains lying still and peaceful in the coffin, The lid of the coffin was made of a precious, glass crystal, Pisces looked like an angel in a white suit, may he rest in peace. We came to our seats we filled every padded pew inside Devonian Temple. AARON TROMBICULA song a very soulful solo that touched all of us, and then Father ABBAN POSCOW gave the Eulogy; the Eulogy was touching and so was the rest of the service. AARON TROMBICULA sang again and this time it wasn't so sad. The coffin lid was closed and the funeral ended.
Afterwards, we went to the grave yard to bury Pisces, his body was laid to rest in Olivet Cemetery, there was a short graveside ceremony- a prayer and the passing of rites. Everyone watched as Pisces body was lowered into the dark inviting earth. We had the repast in Olivet Cememtery, it was the first time anyone had ever done something like that. At the repast we were served a choice of either sparkiling red wine or white wine or bubbly champagne that sparkled that crystals, chilled on crushed ice inside spider wine goblets. There were lots of fancy vegetable oduevers on stainless steel tooth pick served to everyone on a silver platter. The house staff served as waiters and waitresses at the repast, six females and seven males, there were thirteen servants in all. On my third serving of red wine I started to feel a little woozy and so I beckoned for ALANNAH O'REILLY and when she came over to us I put my half filled glass of wine back onto the platter and shutting out all conversation I quickly seated myself on the black vanity bench a few feet behind me in hearing distant of everyone else. The other spiders stood around in the cemetery having decent conversation; each spider sipped from their won signature spider wine goblet in between conversation. The house staff went about the cemetery serving everyone.
"I'm so glad we're victorious over the southern white spirit vampires again-"
"Yes, I hope we're rid of them for good this time." SUZY THERIDIIDAE replied cutting ANDRE WALCKEANER off before he could speak any further.
I stood back for a minute and watched as ANDRE and SUZY talked, and then they ended their conversation and moved further into the crowd. Everyone was talkative on something or another. Olivet Cemetery was clean and Hauntingly gorgeous each time we went there. to be continued....
