Behind Strider Territory, to the very far Northwest of the port, is:
"The Cobweb Forest"
This dark, mysterious forest filled to the very canopies with masses and masses of large cobwebs, is inhabited by the sentient Saiwen, Centaur like creatures with half the body of a Person, and the other half of a Spider.
The Saiwen have had allegiance to the Dawn Striders for quite some time, and welcome any Strider who proves his worth into their large funnel dens.
The Cobweb forest is home to many strange mythical creatures, of danger and horror, as well as beautiful.
The Saiwen dominate the forest however, and are highly intelligent as they are brutal and merciless.
The Cobweb forest is used to learn survival skills, and the Sentient Saiwen Spiders help in all manners of training.
Never under any circumstance, should you dishonor a Saiwen, for soon you will find yourself as a tasty snack.
Strider, or Not. Quote: The Cobweb Forest Now... Chaos slowly seeps itself through the forest like a virus, infecting anything and everything. This chaos grows with every hour that passes, and soon enough, every part of the forest will be consumed eventually. It's inevitable, the God has Risen, and it's conquest will destroy everything. Every beast, every living thing in this once beautiful forest is now a feral, blood hungry monster. This epidemic is on the verge of entering the Spider dens, and all the Sentient races of the Forest are in danger. Soon, the God's wrath will consume the forest in a horrid shadow, of which nothing will ever return...
It is your Duty as a Dawn Strider to hold the epidemic back, by any means necessary.
Some of you will attack the Chaos directly, some will find answers through the Laboratory, but if the power the Black God spreads is not contained in the forest, it's vile power will spread from plane to plane, from territory to territory, corrupting all in it's wake...

Landing lightly on a tree towards the middle of the forest, Neciel pulled in her invisible wings. Taking one step forward, she found herself on the ground of the Cobweb forest. Glancing around, she sensed no immediate danger, and pulled the shard from her pocket. Holding a flame over it for a split second, the woman hoped it would be long enough to drag her brother from the small thing. Lighting a flame in the cobweb forest was one of the worst things one could do. Many beasts dwell in the forest, and it was a danger even to the captain of the Dawn Striders if one were to disrespect the beautiful creatures. Glancing around, she decided that it was indeed a good idea to land here, for there was no one in the immediate vicinity.

The shadows around this place were more than enough to allow him freedom from the dusk shard. A dark helm arose from the dark violet shadow revealed by Neciel's flame. It continued rising from that shadow until what stood before her in this forest was Cyrus. He opened his cape stretching out a bit with his arms over his head "....Agh....that crystal is very crammed inside.....maybe next time I'll find another dusk shard in the mountains next time......" his arms went down under his cape then the looked to his sister "....So where are we exactly?..."

She smiled at him, a dark look flashing across her eyes. "The cobweb forest. Are you still afraid of spiders, dear brother?" she asked, beginning to lead him out of the forest. "I do hope not. You may offend my dear friends." she glanced up, waving cheerfully to one of her closer Saiwan friends. She turned back to her brother, awaiting a reaction.

"...........Just get me out of this forest Neciel..." he spoke in a low groan to her. He never did like spiders back. Cyrus didn't even like them now just hating how they crawled on eight legs and shot webs all over the place.....spiders really bugged the hell out of him.

"Now now, Cyrus. The Saiwan are not fully spiders, and are just as intelligent as we are. They do not deserve such disrespect, brother dearest." she frowned slightly, afraid that one of the Saiwan would take offense to his tone of voice. "You are very lucky that none of them are psychic." she pointed out, having dove into his mind for a better reaction. "Remain calm. You're supposed to be the oldest, remember?" she prodded him with her words, trying to bug him more than the spiders.

He walked forward remaining calm 'Yeah because they would know the truth about that little prank you pulled on me when we were young.....' he spoke back to her through his mind. He leaned to the side nearly avoiding a nearby spider crawling down on a web. He stood next to her sighing under his helm "so are we close by or what?..."

"We have a quarter of an hour walk through the lovely woods, then we can take a boat from the port." she smiled slightly, not having been to the Port in a while. "I would have brought us straight to the castle, but I'd rather not have it realized that I'm an angel." she sighed lightly, finding it rather amusing that she was an angel when she certainly didn't act the part at times.

"True, and the many that serve you know you have a twin brother of a dark knight and a father of a dark knight lord.......that would be a shocker indeed.." he followed her through the woods watching out for branches that were just above his level.

"Not that there is much either of them could do about it." she sighed, restraining any other emotion. "I have unswerving loyalty from the majority of them all, minus a few." she added, thinking of her newest additions. Especially one in specific.

As Captain Neciel and her Brother Cyrus advanced through the darkness of the Cobweb forest, it was becoming more and more apparent the wildlife was rather...restless Menacing eyes and roars could be heard and seen throughout their area, and strange auras floated like mist, clinging to their very being like sludge. Their was something foul in the air, something that was not supposed to be there.
A sharp slicing sound could be heard, and the sudden crash of a tree. Leaves blew, guided by a foul wind, and the animals began to growl as the treetops began to shake an moan under a violent strain.
A rustle in the dark.
"Captain Fornicatus..." A voice sounded from the shadows. Two large Spider-like shapes emerged from the darkness, a male and female, towering over the two siblings. Saiwen, the massive spider-centaur like creatures emerged, calling out to the Captain.
"Captain, I'm afraid you may not tread through these paths..."
((Pardon, was forced to go out for dinner))

{"It's okay, Yata." c: }
"Raz, and Talitha?" she raised an eyebrow, stopping. She extended her arm, keeping her brother from continuing on. "What is it?" she'd noticed that there had been a dark air about the forest, though had refused to mention it to her brother. "Why does everything seem so restless?" her eyes remained on the male Saiwan, the one she'd called Raz.
