Grandma’s fame
Grandma told us once when she was a girl while she was collecting Golgon eggs ,something came from the sky. She said that she had to close all her eyelids the sky was so bright. The noise was deafening according to her. Causing her outer ears to clench into her interior ears. As is the way,she minded her business and continued collecting the Ruby colored eggs from the webs they were laid. About third sundown she started walking back to the hive lands. As she slithered her way over a hill she came across something bizarre. Towering above her four times her height was a demon creature. It’s weight being supported and carried by two appendages quite stiff in appearance. Protruding from it’s main base was two more tentacle type appendage with five smaller tentacles at the end of each. The five smaller ones on each side could move quite independently and wrapped itself around a tool or weapon presumably. Grandmother was petrified with fear. Giving her a chance to escape out the back of her petrified cast. In that same moment the creature pointed and netted the pertified shell that she had shed. Upon realizing that Grandma had escaped the beast gave chase. That’s when Grandma was overcame with a light. She awoke to see two eyes staring down at her. A face covered in tiny worm like growths all surrounding a single opening lined with white stones. She woke up in the guljib four cycles later. With a strange artifact . A woven cloth, perhaps a flag or uniform? To this day the hive is famous for the sky people and the mysterious cloth left behind.
