Protagonist
Riven Thorne also known as Kiviano as his field name or Xander as everyone else calls him. He is a 23-year-old who’s been out for revenge since he was 5. His family and his best friend’s family were killed by these unknown creatures that look like spider humanoids, with feathers for hair, eight eyes and legs. he calls them Spivians. Him and his best friend both become the first ever survivors of these creatures and becomes hunters. These creatures can mimic human form causing him to have to not trust anyone. A couple years after the incident he met 2 brothers around his age, who went through the same thing he did except their parents survived. He teaches and trains them despite being very young as well. Him and his best friend started in the coming years, only for her to become compromised and he was forced to kill her only…he hesitated for the first time ever…and couldn’t do it and ran. This caused his team to disband, and he became verry paranoid and refused to work in teams again. And when he does find others like him, he still trains them but is verry strict, harsh, loyal, and protective, and an amazing actor. but he won’t let them go with him on missions for field experience.
Antagonist
My antagonist’s name Is Spyla, she’s a spivian queen who’s lived a long time, since the Spivians first appeared. She was originally a normal spider that had just hatched when all her siblings were killed. She had found a raven’s feather that transformed her. From that day on she didn’t only eat insects but any living creature and killed any human she saw. She had killed Rivens family when he was only 5.
Riven's hunt
It was cold, dark, and storming out as I talked to the girl I train. “No Vuna, you’re not going.”
“But you never let me go! I’ve trained with you since I was 5! And you’re going up against a dangerous Spivian. You need me!”
I glare. “Not happening, I always go against the more dangerous Spivians, besides, I need you to watch base. You know how important that is. Rule number ten.”
“And you created these rules Xander, yet you refuse rule number 0ne, the most important of all! the one you drilled in my head from the beginning.”
“that’s because I’ve confronted worse and survived these creatures.” I said before turning to leave. “I expect the base in one piece when I come back.” I turn away and march off.
As I pulled up my hood and called out “dark wing!” the raven immediately started flying over me and cawed.
I arrived at an abandoned gas station nearby and immediately took out my pocketknife and looked around for any threats. There were spider webs everywhere some even oozing green venom, I rolled my eyes and snuck into the building immediately feeling the humidity and noticing the dim lights, before feeling many sets of eyes on me, better make this quick. a nest of eggs…or…spider eggs to be more specific. I narrow my eyes. “Bingo.” I say quickly taking out a flare gun and aims it at a nest before…hearing a bone chilling screech. “a giant one...” I quickly put the weapon I was about to use away and get in my ready stance as a Giant feathered spider came out of hiding and attacked me spitting out his venom.
Dark wing, the raven immediately started pecking at the spider to distract it as I went to stab the Spivian. Thorns shot up as I quickly did a backwards summersault in the air and cut them as they came for him directly. The giant spider… also known as a Spivan charged towards me, but I quickly sidestep and slash a deep cut in it as it passed by him… it bled green blood just like it’s venom. The enraged spider let out a blood chilling shriek and renewed its attack as it pinned me down with its teeth near my throat ready tear it open while keeping my arm with the knife far away from it.
I quickly scan for any opens and escape routes when I finally spot a possible escape path and quickly kicked the Spivian in spider form sending it flying up toward the wall but it recovered faster that it should have. “Not good…”as it darted towards me, I ran toward the door the spider was next to as It threw magical restraining vine webs my way before I quickly retreated locking the door as I shut it behind me.
Dark wing noticed and quickly flew through the door as it closed and I sighed. “Good, dark wing. It didn’t even…never mind. We were so close, looks like I need more training than I thought.”
I got a recorder and spoke as I walked back home, “Spivian, level double Z, recovered extremely fast and had vine magic and green blood. It nearly tore out my throat, had to retreat, couldn’t destroy nest, warn nearby hunters to not interact just yet, Xander.”
