-if anything... the Forgotten have kept tabs on this event for sure, maybe them Raxes are now indifferent to The Forgotten...? Well... a Hooded Spider comes to the steps of the HQ, building... he walk over to some guards and asks for an audience with the new king... a weird vibe of familiarity comes over them, but it seems neglectable.-
He is let in.
-He walks up many a step heading up into the castle-like structure, sure his position he was in would surprise Stannis all too well... the Spider wanders forth, his prosthetic leg and one back-appendage look fairly well-made, but still looked like Forgotten Craftsman made it.-
-The Spider is at the front doors of Stan’s room, he’d sighed and held his hands on the doors, ready to push them open.-

-The Spider is at the front doors of Stan’s room, he’d sighed and held his hands on the doors, ready to push them open.-
Two spider guards with spears appear from the shadows on either side, and put their free hands on the double doors.
Guard: "Please... allow us."
They push open the doors to the throne room. The young King, who'd been notified about the visitor, looks tired and bored as he slumps on one arm of his throne. This expression may or may not be a facade to conceal his reaction to the arrival.
Stannis: "Yes, do come in... whoever you are."
Stannis drops a small shell he was holding into a silver bowl on the floor next to his throne. He appears to have been eating a mollusk-type creature.

-the Robed figure looked up to see his new leader his front large teeth(?) looked fairly unhealthy but sure enough he sighed and shrugged his shoulders-
???: “Whomever am i... i just like to say sorry if i came back and all.” -he said before a grin came from his mouth as he reaches up his hands to pull down his hood.-
-A small shiver of hesitation when he grabbed the sides, but, soon smoothly glides the hood off and soon reveals a mocha-colored Spider with lots of grey fuzzy/curly hair on his head and face, making a nice short and visible beard, he looked so happy about it too, beaming his smile wide, his Blueish grey eyes focus on him.-
???: “Your family struck me down and whatever of the Forgotten Revolution, nay, the beginning of the independent nation, was here, but many of us escaped and I became a martyr. Welp... quoting some guy named Ben, I’ve become far more powerful than you imagined.” -he sighed and put his right hand to his chest-
Speli: “Dr. Speli Vance, colleague of Dr. Freeman and Dr. Platnia (Scorpia’s maiden last name), founder of The Forgotten. At your service to depose you and your family to make room for a better future of my species.”Oh and if i forget, i was resurrected and put in stasis by that weird suited Stomper Scorpion man, i haven't seen him since after i died, but... i hope he wont come back either.”

Stannis' face twitches for a split second, but that's the only hint of surprise he shows before going back to his signature poker face.
Stannis: "Revived... like Scorm was. Hmm. Well, it's probably better for everyone that Scrin isn't around anymore, wouldn't you say? The Forgotten Spiders who assassinated my aunt were led by Scrin... although Scrin himself told my father and I that it was my sister who'd been working with those Forgotten. It doesn't really make much of a difference now. Scrin was the one pulling the strings either way. So I presume you're now the leader of the Forgotten, Mr. Vance? Or maybe it's that Scordon Freeman guy. In any case, I guess the Forgotten will be operating a bit differently now that you're no longer led by a creepy weirdo, heh-heh. You were our enemies in my late father's eyes, but truth be told, I've never really cared much about revenge, unlike my parents and sister."
Stannis takes a drink of water out of a golden chalice, also using it to rinse off his teeth.
Stannis: "First the Forgotten, then the Empire of Balance, and now those Mammoth things. Those three took out my aunt, mother, and father respectively, but for some reason I don't feel too motivated to inflict the same kind of pain back on them. Maybe because vengeance is "wrong", or maybe it's just because of my laziness. Heck if I know. Well, I'll let you in on a tidbit of information you might not have known about; even my father, of all people, considered allying with the Forgotten after Freeman took out Scrin. So if an alliance is why you're here, maybe we can work something out."

-Speli Vance chuckled and looked happy- “Scordon took out that suited malevolence? I’ll be happy to congratulate him when i see him... but i find it intriguing that your father now thought of us as slow but sure allies in the past... i hope Freeman and my daughter are running things now so that me and Scorpia can take a back seat.” -Mr. Vance said, sighing- “Reminds me how Dr. Breen thought about controlling the spiders too once the Combine got powerful enough to topple the Scorpion’s ruling power.”
-he nodded at Stannis and looked happy to oblige to a truce and coalition.- “I wonder, how is your sister doing? She still write to you at all? I am one of the influential people to her, really...”

Stannis: "We haven't... talked since she left Spider HQ, actually. I'm sure that's because we're both busy, in our new roles. Anyhow, concerning an alliance, what would you think about a joint venture by the Forgotten and Spiders to recolonize the Grassy Plains? It's a fairly large region ripe for the taking, and only a few tribes still have settlements there. The Spider Tribe, we only have a third of the Outlands, with the rest having been claimed by Unichi and the Ice Hunters. It'd be nice to have more territory and allies again."

Speli: “A large swatch of land would be perfect to hold a large lab of sorts, but i heard whispers the rest of The Forgotten are in their supposed ‘homelands’ of sorts somewhere between Croc and Lion territory. But yes, more territory plus a sea boarder will make a great place to own.”

Stannis: "Great. I can have my people move out at any time."
Speli: “And... you’ll let more of this tribe get the choice to choose my leadership or yours?” -he said with a warm smile-
Stannis: "Great. I can have my people move out at any time."
Speli: “And... you’ll let more of this tribe get the choice to choose my leadership or yours?” -he said with a warm smile-
Stannis: "You seem a much more honorable man than Scrin. I mean, I don't have any offsprings, so if I fall, I'll entrust the tribe to you. Tell the people that you're the one managing the elections for the next king or queen, or even a different kind of leader. Things will probably be different from how they were in my family's time."

-Speli Vance smirked at that first statement and chuckled at the next.-
Speli: “Well... If you’d like, I hope my daughter will get to know you a little more and such.” -he chuckled a bit more, winking at him, kinda joking but serious at the same time- “But yes, i’ll try to make these elections for people to choose their leader, i just want to make this tribe a fair bit more democratic and aligned with The Forgotten too, making a strong multi-tribal alliance.”
-On that first idea, he’s obviously thinking of letting Stannis marry Spalyx. So he does like this Monarchy alot more thanks to the Progressive hands of Stannis, and is at least hoping to write a Forgotten Constitution for the Tribe so it’ll be allied with the main Forgotten Spider Sect.-

Stannis: "Sounds good."
Stannis sends out spiders to the Grassy Plains.
Speli Vance: “Now, anyone can gimme a lift back to Southernfell? I can’t walk all that far you know.” -he said with a chuckle, patting his prothetic leg.-
