chuckled inside nevertheless.
    “Gothica, people are not use to seeing
arachnids on this planet, so they might stare at you, but do not be
alarmed. If you just want to walk around with us, being invisible
is fine.”
    “Okay. I am nervous anyway.”
    “We are nervous, too,” the sisters say
telepathically to Gothica and Eve.
    “Well, if anyone messes with us, we will just
eat them,” Gothica says with sarcasm and winks at the two sisters.
All three of them laugh. Eve frowns at them, but then laughs.
    “No eating people…young ladies,” Eve says
with a smirk. Gothica, being a warrior arachnid, has the ability to
enchant magic weapons, so she can enchant some items and let her
step-sisters drain the magic for food.
    The first stop they make is at a clothes
shop. They enter the rather large boutique and start trying on
clothes. Gothica stays invisible and follows them. Eve still sees
Gothica even when she is invisible. The doctor said that the more
contact she has with the three girls, the more she will pick up
their traits or another phenomenon because they are mutant versions
of her DNA. The girls might also pick up some of their mother’s
traits.
    “So put the ones you like into that basket
and I will pay for them. Those outfits you are trying on now are
cute, so just keep those on, and I will buy them, too.”
    They picked up their packages and got back in
the large limousine. They headed down the street to an arachnid
vendor Eve remembered seeing before. They pulled up in front of a
small shop and went inside. Gothica decided not go invisible this
time. Upon entering the store, they saw two arachnid shopkeepers
wearing beautiful silk clothes. There were arachnid clothes of all
types and sizes hanging from the walls and turnstiles. The
beautiful coloring of the clothes was one of the fascinating things
about this little store. Exotic jewelry and metal weapons, daggers,
throwing items, and bows were also hanging in a different parts of
the shop.
    “Greetings. I am Vosha and this is my
assistant Higja,” Vosha said, speaking for both female
arachnids.
    Eve says, “Hello. Nice shop you have here.
These are my daughters, Xaqu and Chaca, and step-daughter,
Gothica.”
    “Don’t get many arachnid customers in these
parts, unfortunately. Most of my sales are jewelry and weapons. You
have beautiful daughters. I think we can accommodate Gothica very
well here.”
    “Good because she needs some clothes and
other stuff.”
    Vosha looks Gothica over.
    “She is pretty big, even for an arachnid.
Must be warrior class with those muscles. I have some fashionable
arachnid clothes and some warrior armor in her size.” She signals
to her assistant to fetch the merchandise. The assistant comes back
with some boxes, and all of ladies, including the sisters, start
putting clothes on Gothica. She picks about nine outfits and three
sets of arachnid warrior armor that fit her. She also gets some
shoes and combat boots especially designed for arachnids as
well.
    “Every good warrior needs some weapons. Let
us go and look at these weapons over here and see what you like,”
the shopkeeper suggested.
    Gothica examines some of the weapons and
swings a few.
    “I like the swords, but I need four of
them.”
    “All of our weapons are made in fours for
obvious reasons. Here are the other two. These are made out of
Osmiridium metal, which is harder than diamonds and is extremely
hard to break and very easy for a warrior to enchant. Very
expensive at 100 platinum bars each. They come with matching
sheaths that snap onto your armor.”
    “We will take them,” Eve says.
    Gothica takes the swords and holds all four
in the air and starts to mumble. “ Ney cha fer do
asa metu ” and the swords light up with magical flames. The
feat was surprisingly impressive to all the ladies there—not
something many get to witness. They clap in excitement. She
enchants her armor, too.
    “Now I know you ladies would want some
jewelry to go with all
