For those that do accept the Queen's invitation, they are brought by gilded carriage at the appointed time and place. Though they may go on to do other things, each are brought into the depths of the innermost circle via an appointed guide who says nothing. An Aranean male who stands back straight, his spear held in his prominent hand. It is dark, impossibly dark. Lace-work webs hang from black and gold gilded pillars as he guidese from the public spaces of ballrooms and dining halls.
The test tubes that made up so much of the architectural centre of the palace catch the light off its glass surface. Shapes inside of them show Aranean's in more than their present form. Beings preserved within them, that were clearly the earlier point in the production of the present now rulers of the planet. Human bodies with twisted faces, spiders with living organs spilling out of them. Others, show animals, or alien races that have been kept inside the tubes. In other places, there are portraits depicting the history of the planet, as well as it seems famous figures. A decorative feature of the Queen's wing of the palace until it gives way to something far more simple.
Heavy slabs of stone, carved to both beautiful elegant forms, the ceilings becoming higher and higher, and heavy beams it seems of Ymir, high above, support them, at this distance it is not enough to effect a human, beyond a prickly heavy feeling against the skin.. The corridors grow narrower and narrower, and the sensation increases of going further into the earth, a steady decline, deeper and deeper. Until at long last, at the end of one great hallway, you are brought to a huge, golden door and the herald knocks once, twice and then a third time, and the Kern of COST is announced.
Come, Little Fly, she has a beautiful bed to and many curious things to show you.
