SCIENCE, SPIDERS, AND MURDER

A few spiders skittered off when you picked up this book. It is stained with chemical burns. Its smell is sweet, like old paper.

Science, Spiders, and Murder is about three immortal friends who have been out of touch with each other for a very long time, but have moved back in with each other. Over the course of 12 days they solve a few of their problems and learn how to be friends again along the way.

Leshok

Leshok, or Dr. Rae, as the mortals call him, is a scientist deticated to his research and the spread of knowledge. If only he was in any way a team player, this "spread of knowledge" might be a lot easier. He is paranoid and agoraphobic to the point where he rarely leaves his underground lab to interact with the outside world. His only connections are his friends Surlmog and Yettel and his siblings that rarely visit anymore. After moving in with his friends he realizes that he may be a little in over his head doing experiments alone and so resolves to get himself an assistant.

A digital drawing made to look like a polaroid of a creauture standing on two legs with arms that turn into bat wings. He has floppy rabbit-like ears and a single unicorn horn. His back is turned to the veiwer and his head is turned over his shoulder so one glowing eye is visible. He is standing in an alleyway and there is a bit of blood on the ground.

Surlmog

Surlmog has served a god of death as a reaper for a very, very long time. At first he was enthusiastic, proud to be favored by a being of such power but now, centuries later he is weary of all the blood and death. Surlmog is bitter and while he believes the fault of his past sins rest purely on his shoulders, he still harbors a vindictive hatred for those who had refused to help him in his past.

Yettel

Yettel is carefree and michievous and they're only in Ardach to have a good time! They like lying to strangers about things that don't matter and gluing coins to sidewalks. Here in Ardach, they encounter an old friend for the first time in years, unknowingly kicking off a prophecy said friend has been preparing for its entire life.
