 Chapter 9
 
 Melia crawled from the muck, coughing murky water up
 onto the muddy shore. She lay down, exhausted, beside
 the river and fell asleep. When she awoke it was dark
 and the sky was filled with stars. There was very
 little moonlight, however, and as she trudged away
 from the river she stumbled over the  vines and
 underbrush of the forest. Her tattered garments were
 still damp and she shivered in the night air. She was
 searching for tracks or clues, anything that could
 help her find Alara, who must have taken her for dead.
 It was difficult in the dark and she was unsure at
 times whether she was following a trail or just
 wandering hopelessly through the woods. She knew she
 should probably wait until daylight, but she was
 filled with impatience and an urge to put distance
 between herself and that strange river.
 
 After a few hours of hiking she stopped to lean
 against a tree for a brief rest. Looking around at the
 dark trees her gaze was suddenly caught by a strange
 star-like glittering at the top of a small ridge up
 ahead. It was as if stardust were drifting between the
 pine trees, sparkling in the dark forest. She began
 towards it to inspect closer. Pine needles crunched
 beneath her feet as she crept forward through the
 trees and up the base of the ridge. As she crested the
 ridge she found herself amidst the strange sparkling.
 The air glittered all around her but the night was
 silent.
 
 Melia suddenly thought better of inspecting this
 strange happening in the night. She quickly turned to
 head back but was stopped short as she did so. Her
 left arm seemed to be caught in something, but when
 she looked she found nothing on it, only the
 glittering light reflecting from all around her. She
 tried to free it with her other hand but as she
 struggled she found that both hands were caught in the
 sticky tangle of some invisible web. Then suddenly she
 looked around and realized with horror that was
 exactly it. She watched a section of the sparkling for
 a time and began to see a pattern. The sparkles were
 arranged in the concentric spirals of a nearly
 invisible web strung between the trees. The sparkling
 was just the starlight reflecting off the web's sticky
 strands. She was in the midst of an  web
 running through the trees.
 
 Panicked, Melia tried kicking at the webbing around
 her arms and hands, only to get her foot caught as
 well. She thrashed and pushed at the webbing.
 Exhausted, she stopped her moving about and found that
 not only was her entire body caught in the web's
 sticky strands, but she seemed to have moved a bit
 towards the web's center and she was held almost a
 man's height above the ground. Gathering her thoughts
 and trying to keep panic at bay, Melia looked around
 for some means of escape. The web seemed to be
 sticking to her cotton blouse even more than it did to
 her skin, so she tried to wriggle out of it. She
 finally managed to do so, freeing herself a bit, but
 in the process she'd gotten her arms and legs even
 more caught and tangles of webbing had stuck to her
 midsection as well.
 
 As the naked  struggled, caught in the immense
 web, a large dark creature crawled from one of the
 treetops, onto the web. Melia stopped for a moment,
 distracted by something. Looking up she saw something
 else on the web, moving cautiously toward her. Her
 heart pounded with terror as she realized it must be
 the spider that'd spun this giant web. Its body was
 black as night, nearly as large as a horse, and she
 saw that it had a number of long, thin legs moving
 along the sticky strands of web. The giant predator
 crept toward her and stopped a few feet away, pausing
 to inspect its catch. Melia looked with terror upon
 the shiny black eyes that lay above its mouth. The
 sharp black pinchers opened and closed around its
 mouth and the beast began moving towards her at an
 agonizingly slow pace. Melia trembled with terror as
 the spider loomed over her. Standing over her naked
 body, it lowered its head and she shook with fear as
 it pinched with gentle curiosity at her body.
 
 The spider paused for a moment, seemingly confused. It
 began to scan over her body searchingly. Its shiny
 black eyes inspected her thighs and belly, and
 suddenly its demeanor changed. The creature drew
 itself up over her body and lowered its head toward
 hers. Melia whimpered weakly at the feel of its
 pinchers closing around her neck. Delicately, it held
 her there in its grip while with its many legs it
 began tearing at the sticky webs around her lower
 body, exposing her luscious thighs, the curve of her
 belly, and her long legs. Melia began to
 hyperventilate with fear as she felt something sharp
 upon her neck. The spider injected her only briefly,
 pinching her neck and letting a tiny dose of its
 poison into her bloodstream. Melia's fearful panting
 slowed and her body felt relaxed and easy in the
 spider's careful grip. A feeling of euphoria began
 filling her body and she found herself becoming
 aroused by the creature's pinchers around her neck.
 Pinning her beneath its body, the spider maneuvered
 its stiff, hairy legs to spread her legs and hold them
 high against either side of its huge thorax. Melia
 moaned with desire, writhing in her bonds. The
 spider's member grew and moved close between her
 thighs. A sigh escaped Melia's quivering lips as the
 hard, smooth head of the beast's long, spear-like
 member penetrated her, slipping between her pubic
 lips. Her labia hugged the shiny black shaft as the
 beast pushed into her. It began driving deep into her
 and she thrust her pelvis up against its hard body to
 receive it more deeply. Its prickly legs tickled her
 skin. The sticky webs upon her skin and the sharp
 pinchers around her neck held Melia in place beneath
 the giant spider's body as it brought her to climax,
 pounding into her until it came deep inside her body.
 
 Melia sighed deeply as the creature withdrew its hard,
 shiny member from within her, its  black semen
 dribbling down between her thighs as its  shaft
 slipped from between her labia. Then, quickly and
 quietly as it had come, the spider left her and
 scurried up its web to disappear into the treetops.
 Still unable to move, Melia drifted off to sleep lying
 naked on the web.
 Melia awoke cold and shivering. A heavy rain was
 falling and she lay soaked on the giant spider web. A
 sudden clap of thunder startled her she instinctively
 covered her ears. To her surprise, she found that she
 could move her arms freely. Squirming a bit, she found
 that she could move her whole body. The rain was
 destroying the web's sticky strands. She quickly
 climbed down to the ground crouched, huddling for
 warmth. She decided it would be best to move away from
 the spider's domain as soon as possible, so she
 started down the hill, rain running down over her
 naked body. In the dark it was impossible to find
 Alara's trail, and with the rain she doubted if she
 would ever find it again. Nonetheless, she headed in
 the general direction she'd been going before, jogging
 through the forest to keep warm. After a few hours the
 rain stopped, making the going a bit easier. She
 continued on until sunrise. The morning air was
 growing warmer and the sky began to shine with orange
 light as she came to the forest's edge. Standing at
 the end of the trees she looked out across a deep,
 lush valley. She headed out into the field of deep
 yellow grass at the valley's rim. The tall grass
 brushed her thighs as she walked through it and the
 growing morning sun warmed her body. She realized just
 how exhausted she was from running through the cold
 forest all night. She came to a single small tree in
 the grass. It was young, no more than ten or twelve
 feet tall, but it had a hard, dry look, as if it had
 been blasted by lightning. Sitting in the grass, she
 leaned up against its trunk and fell asleep with
 morning light warming her skin.
 
 Melia dreamt of a warm paradise of soft, flowing hills
 and streams. She gathered honey and brought it to the
 ancient trees, who, in exchange, gave her draughts of
 their pleasure drinks, filling her body with elation.
 She walked out to a warm field with a bowl, drank its
 contents and lay down in the golden sunlight.
 
 Melia's eyes slowly opened. She was unsure whether she
 was awake or still dreaming. The land around her was
 just as in her dream. She sat in a field of tall
 golden grass and the sun overhead warmed her skin. Her
 body felt wonderfully free sitting naked in the grass.
 Tingling pleasure ran up and down her spine. The grass
 tickled her bare skin, dry bark against her back.
 
 The feel of bark on her bare back began to slide to
 her sides, tickling her skin. She sighed at the feel
 of bark beneath her right arm, lightly touching the
 side of her breast. The feel of bark also moved across
 the left side of her waist, touching her stomach. She
 felt it upon her right nipple, which stiffened as she
 sighed with pleasure. She looked down to see long,
 branch-like fingers sliding down her stomach, past her
 navel. Her eye's shut tight, Melia's head fell back
 and a moan escaped her trembling lips as the rough
 fingers slid gently down her belly and between her
 smooth thighs. Leaning back against the tree trunk,
 she opened her legs and sighed passionately as a thin
 fingertip brushed through her black hair and over her
 clitoris. She felt bark sliding down her lower back
 and the bulge of a root pushed itself beneath her,
 sliding between her buttocks. She moaned at the feel
 of hard, smooth wood sliding beneath the junction of
 her legs. Glancing down, she saw a long, stiff, upward
 curving wooden phallus sliding beneath her, extending
 nearly a foot past her belly. She became moist at the
 feel of its shaft sliding beneath her labia, and ached
 to be filled with it.
 
 A pair of branch-like hands grabbed her sides and
 lifted her, easily as a child, from the ground. They
 turned her around to face the tree and she saw that it
 was not a tree, but some kind of tree-beast with
 manlike features. Still rooted to the ground, its
 branches had grown to arms and hands with long digits.
 The knots and lumps on its trunk were twisted into the
 form of a face and one of it's roots seemed to have
 grown to an enormously long, smooth phallus. The
 beast's hands holding her under her arms, Melia
 wrapped her legs around its trunk as it lowered her
 towards its extended member. The moist lips between
 her thighs touched the hard wooden tip of its phallus
 and slipped open as the beast lowered her onto its
 lengthy prick. She felt it sliding up into her
 slippery warmth, filling her  and pushing up
 inside her body. Her lips quivered and drooled as her
 own weight pushed her down, impaling her on the long
 wooden dick.
 
 Melia began to come slowly, and the juices that
 dribbled from between her vaginal lips dripped down
 the wooden shaft coating it with slipperiness. She
 slowly slid farther down the shaft and her entire body
 shuddered with pleasure as the hard wooden member
 pushed far up inside her body.
