There was a story about a spider. The Spider met a tiger with a wealth of stories and within them knowledge. The Spider was determined to obtain the Tigers stories so he went to buy them off him but the Tiger was not pleased with what he had to offer. So he told him to capture 4 mystical and powerful creatures and his mother and bring them to him, only then would he obtain the Tiger's stories. So the Spider and his wife planned and each time the Spider's trickery caused the creatures to fall for his traps. He returned with all the Tiger had asked. The Tiger amazed and pleased with such an accomplishment fulfil his part of the promise and named all stories Spider stories no matter what genre or topic. The Spider was pleased now having a wealth of knowledge at his finger tips but he thought to himself why stop with just stories. One day the Spider trucked the Tiger into its web capturing him to the Tiger's confusion. The Tiger asked "Why do you do this? I gave you everything you asked." The Spider smiled and said "Yes you did but what is knowledge without power. Why stop with just stories.When I could have everything." The Spider killed the Tiger with its poison taking the Title of King of the Jungle. This Spider's name was...
Anansi.
A few hours had passed the sun was at its peak shinning upon the sapphire blue ocean as the Three Claws began to approach the shore, completely unaware with what was waiting for them. Makya was on the top deck as it was his turn to keep watch but he had fallen asleep on watch.
A gang had assembled on the shore composed of various kinds of people with different technical enhancements both minor and major. They were all of Caribbean decent and wore rough worn clothes apart from who looked slightly better or simply walked around shirtless due to the heat. They were armed with high tech rifles and other weapons ranging from machetes to spears. They all had one thing in common a spider tattoo and decals.
There was however one man who stood out from the group. He walked with a presence and his clothes were far more pristine compared to everyone else. It was clear he was the one giving the orders.
"Anansi why is dis takin so long? Me getting bored." The irritated words came from the man beside him who spoke with a Haitian accent. He was a tall buff man with long flowing dreads. He had a large spider tattoo sprawling across his back and his forearms were decked out with high impact gauntlets with two large pistons coming out the back. One his chest he black tiger like markings spanning all over the front of his stone cut physique. He also wore a pair of ripped jeans.
"Cha! Be patient Nyame de fun soon come." On the other side of the smartly dressed man he had his arm wrapped around a woman with dreadlocked hair. She was quite beautiful, while also having an edge to her which couldn't be missed. She had multiple chains and rings on and wore a or a orange shirt which the sleeves rolled up and knot at the front to show off her bare stomach. She had a spider tattoo on the lower corner of her stomach. Sling across her back was what looked like a quad barrelled shot gun.
"Do not worry unno selves dat ship is going to be ours along with whatever riches and stories come with it." Anansi explained with a gesture of his hand he signalled to a group of men with Jetski's waiting by the shore. They all instantly hopped onto their jetksi's hollering and chanting as they went off to intercept the approaching ship. The three couldn't help but smile as they knew their "fun" was almost here.
