Mysterious Stranger

Victoria was confused and terrified. Even her mother, Bea, didn't know the story of her evolution. That mysterious person asked her not to tell anyone.

In panic, she teleported to the place where she usually ran to hide...

She stood in the small forest Bea had created in the Gate room. The place had changed a bit since the last time she saw it. There were much more cobwebs on the trees and ceiling.

Close to her, barking noises approached, fast. Brian, the spider-dog came running out of the forest, with his tongue hanging loose.

He jumped on top of Victoria and started furiously licking her face. The strange dog's presence and affection turned her mood. She even started to giggle and laugh as the dog didn't stop.

"Well, can't say I was prepared for a trip to a strange indoor forest... Is that one of Mary's creations? I never understood why she loved spiders so much."
