The Spider Queen Lolth
Warrior of Warta
Just as the guards took their places and the queen began to relax in her throne the signalling horn sounded, heralding the coming of the first suitor. However as the front doors to the throne room slowly swung open, it revealed not a greeting band, or large caravan. Nor a great chariot carrying a smiling prince. Instead at the doorway stood a lone, hulking figure, the massive flag of Warta wrapped around them like a robe being the only sign of their allegiance. The obscuring shroud gave no hint as to who or what the figure was, only it's immense size could be determined, and it was immense. The figure, man or beast, towered over all others in the throne room, and it was longer than any humanoid creature had any right to be. The figure stepped forward, the floor clacking underneath it's stride, and breath flashes of...talons?...could be seen as the flag billowed around it. The guards all tightened their grips on their weapons, all wary of the mysterious figure who approached their queen.
The figure did not stop until it was only a few sparse feet from the throne. It was then the a clawed hand extended out from underneath the thick cloth, and grabbed onto the flag, wiping it off of them in a single fluid motion to reveal...Lolth, Spider Queen of Warta, undefeated champion and favored to take the throne. Though most importantly she was the king's one and only hand selected suitor, who would take the hand of one of the princesses of Ardvale, or more preferable the hand of the queen herself. However that is not what the guards saw. In their ignorance they saw only a hulking beast, some abominable hybrid between woman and spider, no...not even it's top half could be considered human by any means. They all prepared their weapons, ready to strike at the first sign of danger, though Lolth merely gazed around her at them and let out small chuckle, before returning her gaze to the queen
"My queen..." Lolth said with a small smile, her front most legs dipping down as she leaned forward to bow before her future bride.
"The King of Warta sends his regards and best wishes..." she said, folding up the flag of Warta and laying it out on the ground before her throne,
"...along with myself, Lolth, strongest warrior of Warta, to bind our kingdoms in marriage" she finished, straightening herself once more, surprisingly well spoken, especially considering the visage the words came out of.
"Is this some kind of joke!? a trick!?" one of the guard's said, stepping forward, spear at the ready.
"The Queen offers the hands of herself and her own sisters for the sake of peace, and the King of Warta sends a monster in return!? Does he mean to say our Queen is worthy of no more than a hideous beast!?" he growled "this is an insult!" "yeah does the king take us for fools!?" "this is an outrage!" others started to shout, a small rabble starting up.
(took some liberties with the guards, but I figured there'd probably be a shocked reaction to having Lolth be one of the suitors, hope that's ok)
