The Olympias Romance

The Spider

Abigail and Olympias were both resting at an orchard.
Abigail was running around the many beautiful trees, while Olympias was picking some fruits.
" Abigail, stay where I can see you, " said Olympias.
Things were quiet, too quiet.
" Abigail? "
" Sister! "
Olympias dropped all her fruits, as she flew straight towards Abigail.
" Abigail...? " said Olympias, her heart beating faster.
" Sister, look "
Abigail was now pointing to a spider; who was weaving its net.
Olympias could be heard letting out a sigh of relief.
Olympias now noticed someone hiding behind one of the trees.
" Who is there? "
The figure now fully hid behind the tree.
Olympias flew over, where she now saw who the stranger was; it was a little boy, who was dressed in beautiful silk clothes.
" A nobleman's son? "
The boy now ran away.
" Who was that? " said Abigail.
" I don't know... "
Olympias and Abigail were both sitting under the shade of a tree, enjoying the many fruits of the orchard.
" Sister? " said Abigail.
" Hmm? "
" The boy from before is back "
" Where is he? "
" Hiding behind the tree behind you "
Olympias smiled.
The boy blinked for a second, and after that second; Olympias was behind him.
" What do you want? " said Olympias, as she held the boy up by his silk clothes.
" Let me go! '' exclaimed the boy, as he was struggling to get free.
" Tell me what you want, and I will let you go "
" That is none of your damn business! "
The boy tried to kick at Olympias, but she easily caught his leg.
" I see that no one has taught you any manners " said Olympias with a smile.
The boy now fell on his ass, as Olympias dropped him.
" Awww... " uttered the boy.
" Abigail, we are leaving "
Abigail got up, she then ran to her sister's side.
" Wait! " exclaimed the boy, after a few seconds.
" What? " said Olympias, as she turned to the boy.
The boy paused for a moment, his gaze then turned towards sweet Abigail.
" Oh no " said Olympias, a little hotly; " that won't happen " said she with a glare towards the boy.
" What are you talking about? " said the boy, sounding a little confused.
Olympias was taken aback by the boy's cold reaction, she then said;
" Just tell us what you want? "
" I need your help "
The boy now explained that his family was very wealthy, grains of sand could not compete with their wealth.
But, this wealth also came at a heavy price.
The boy's family made their fortune by selling silk clothes.
The clothes were made of silk which no silkworm could produce. The clothes were more soft, exquisite and even queerly magical.
" How does your family come by all this 'magical silk'? " said Olympias.
" By making a deal with the devil - the boy paused for a moment - no, the devil would have been more fair and kind... this monster is more cruel and unforgiving "
Olympias noticed that the boy was acting more well-manned; both in speech and appearance.
" What? " said the boy, as he noticed Olympias' gaze.
" You seem more like an adult than a child "
The boy was quiet for a moment.
" Blame it on my many traumas... "
" What traumas? " said Abigail, as she still had the innocence of a child.
The boy now let out an adult sigh.
" This monster, who has provided my family with all this unrivaled silk... seeks payment, not through material things... but through blood "
Olympias and Abigail both paused for a moment.
" Does this monster have a name? " asked Olympias.
The boy was looking towards the distance, as he said;
" Atlach-Nacha "
" What payment does Atlach-Nacha require? "
The boy was still looking towards the distance, as he said;
" Blood... child blood. My family is required, with each generation, to sacrifice the blood of their youngest child; be it boy or girl "
The boy was now looking down at the ground.
" My baby sister was the latest sacrifice... she was just born when they ran a knife through her tiny heart "
The only thing which could be heard was the wind passing through the orchard.
" I am sorry " said Abigail, as she took the boy's hand.
The boy was now sniffing while crying.
" I saw it happen..." uttered the boy; " they must be stopped "
" Your family or Atlach-Nacha? " asked Olympias.
" Both " said the boy with a glare; " I will stop my family's cruelty when I inherit all the wealth - the boy now cleaned his face - I need you two to kill Atlach-Nacha "
" You have heard of us...? " said Olympias, surprised; " how else would you be so sure of our abilities? "
The boy smiled.
" As I have said; I have a LOT of money, getting information is very easy "
Olympias nodded, while she was impressed.
" Well, we need some information; do you know where Atlach-Nacha is? "
" Yes " said the boy, sounding very sure.
The boy was now pointing towards the nearby sea.
" There is a cave located deep underneath the sea, that is where you shall find Atlach-Nacha "
" I see " said Olympias with a smile; " we will do it "
" Very good " said the boy, as he sounded like an old englishman; " now, let us talk about your payment "
Olympias giggled.
" I can pay, handsomely "
Olympias giggled again.
" What? " said the boy, confused.
" We will do it for free " said Abigail with a smile.
The boy paused for a moment, as Abigail's green shiny eyes were filling with hope.
" Don't do that. Don't give me hope. " said the boy, as a hawk flew by.
Olympias now placed her hand on the boy's shoulder.
" You have put a lot of weight on these small shoulders of yours, let us carry some of it "
The boy cried, before; he cried only tears of horror and hopelessness, but now; he was crying tears of hope and joy.
" Abigail, let us go "
" Sister "
" Yes? "
" I will handle this "
Olympias and the boy, both looked on, as Abigail calmly walked towards the sea.
Abigail raised her hands high up towards the sky, she then joyfully yelled;
" I love you 3000! "
The boy and Olympias both looked on, as a colossal sea creature sprang forth from the sea.
Olympias had only this to say;
" That's not Iron Man... "
" Iron Man? " said Abigail, confused; " this is SCP-3000 " said Abigail, as she now petted the massive head of Anantashesha.
The boy's jaw dropped, as SCP-3000 was casting a shadow over everything.
" Abigail? " said Olympias.
" Yes? "
" How did you summon this friend of yours? "
" I can use my portals to summon other SCPs " said Abigail, joyfully; " my lizard plush is actually SCP-682 "
Olympias paused for a moment.
" How so...? " she uttered.
" SCP-682 always wanted to protect me, so he transformed into a lizard plush; in order to watch over me " said Abigail, as she gave SCP-682 a loving hug.
" Wait... " said Olympias; " so, that plush of yours can actually transform back into its original form... as SCP-682? "
Abigail joyfully nodded.
Olympias paused for another moment, she then looked over at the boy; whose jaw was still dropped.
" Abigail "
" Yes? "
" Have SCP-3000 kill Atlach-Nacha "
Abigail smiled.
Anantashesha now dove into the waters, a small earthquake could be felt. SCP-3000's top half  now came out of the sea, and hanging from its mouth was a spider leg.
" Thank you " said Abigail with a smile.
Anantashesha now vanished into the sea.
Olympias closed the boy's mouth, she and Abigail now continued with their journeys.
