Koine walked in an outward spiral from the place that would be the Loong's town, filling the area with plenty of tall grass and trees. While it was enough to get started, a civilization needed more than greenery to survive. It needed something for them to live off of. A few herds of cows and pigs would do nicely, providing a source of food for the primarily carnivorous Loong. A few birds and rodents here and there would help fill up the land as well. Other miscellaneous that Koine could think of were added too, provided they aided in providing a balanced ecosystem. It would do for now, but something was missing. 

Koine then snapped her fingers, thinking that ways to obtain certain profitable goods were also necessary for the far future. Firstly, a few specific trees were needed. Koine continued her path around the land, setting up several mulberry trees with narrow light-green leaves while adding silkworms into each tree, which would feed on the leaves and propagate to the other specially-provided trees. Hopefully that would be enough to get the ball rolling when the Loong eventually discover them. The land would also need a body of water, and remembered seeing a river in the distance. Making her way over to it, Koine began to create a thin but strong stream for the water to travel, intending to use only enough water for the Loong's land and not ruin the river in the process. Koine had the stream extend far, heading near the center of the land while also having a few branches extend towards other parts, then dug out the land to form beds for the water to form ponds and lakes.

With that, Koine believed her work in terraforming the land was done and was going to head back to check on the Loong, when something caught her attention in a nearby mulberry tree. A large spider, as big as a dog, had caught a couple of the silkworms, wrapped in silk, and was climbing down the tree to run off into a cave in the nearby mountain range. Koine had heard of spiders that hunted for food rather than creating webs to lie in wait, but this was rather bizarre. Curious, she followed the spider into the cave, where it extended into a system of tunnels with plenty of silk and cobwebs lining them. Having been formed from the earth, Koine felt no discomfort from the new environment and continued on, wondering where the spider was going with its bounty. 

It didn't take long to find the answer as it entered a large cavern covered in silk. She found herself mesmerized as she came face to face with an absurdly large spider, with dozens of smaller spiders and eggs surrounding it. Koine realized now that the spider she had seen was actually the giant spider's spiderling and had been hunting for its mother. The spiders, of course, were also aware of Koine's intrusion into their lair, and they turned towards her with a variety of reactions, mostly those involving hunger upon seeing their assumed prey and anger at Koine's intrusion. [i]Food! Hunt! Wrap![/i] were expressed among other monosyllabic words as the spiders lunged at Koine, fangs bared and eager to feed. 

Koine waved her hand and shouted, "[color=gold]STOP![/color]" Her godly aura leaked out as she shouted her command. The spiders, paralyzed, soon realized that what had appeared was not prey, but something greater. They did not understand exactly what, for their brains were too primitive, but they knew when something was to be feared, and so they remained still, fearful of Koine's next actions. Only the giant spider managed to keep her cool, and slowly approached Koine. "[color=9e0b0f]What... are... you?[/color]" the spider asked, speaking slowly. "[color=9e0b0f]You... are... not... prey.[/color]"

"[color=gold]No, I'm not.[/color]" Koine replied, smiling. "[color=gold]My name is Koine. To put it in simple terms, I am a goddess.[/color]" 

"[color=9e0b0f]A... god...dess?[/color]" the spider asked. She wasn't quite aware of what a "goddess" was, but it was no doubt something big, bigger than her. "[color=9e0b0f]Why... are... you... here?[/color]" 

"[color=gold]Again, to put it as simply as I can, a business proposition,[/color]" Koine answered. "[color=gold]Your silk is lovely, and I know some creatures outside who could find several uses for it. That makes you spiders worth investing into. Spread my message to the rest of your kind. Produce silk for the Loong, and keep good relations with them. In return, I can guide you to a path outside this cave, to a place where you can feast on enough food to keep you and your entire brood satisfied.[/color]" 

The spider did not even hesitate on her answer. "[color=9e0b0f]Silk... for... food... is... good. I... accept.[/color]" 

Koine gave the spider a satisfied smile. "[color=gold]Excellent choice,[/color]" Koine said. "[color=gold]As a extra reward, let me give you another path of evolution for your species to follow.[/color]" Koine proceeded to snap her fingers, transferring a small amount of energy into the spider's body. The spider soon began to feel that its exoskeleton was a little tight. It was a sign that she was going through a molt, but this one felt different. It was tighter than usual, and there seemed to be parts of her body that she couldn't move very well anymore. She felt trapped in her own body, and she wanted to be free. When her exoskeleton finally broke apart, she slowly peeled it away. Her body felt soft, as it always did after a molt, but there seemed to be something extra. She still had a spider body, perhaps a little smaller than before, but there was now a human-shaped body from the torso up attached to her, right between the abdomen and cephalothorax. 

The spider looked down from her human head to her hands, then turned around to look at the rest of its body. This was unlike anything she had ever experienced. Looking back at Koine, she asked, "[color=9e0b0f]What did you do?[/color]" 

"[color=gold]Oh, just a little something to speed up your agreement with me,[/color]" Koine answered. "[color=gold]It's a little soon to actually be providing any silk, though. For now, just spread your species as the Arachne, and go beyond this cave. That is your mission.[/color]" 

"[color=9e0b0f]It will be done, Goddess Koine,[/color]" the spider turned Arachne said. 

"[color=gold]Pleasure doing business with you,[/color]" Koine said. 

"[color=9e0b0f]Pleasure... doing... busy... ness,[/color]" the spider replied, unfamiliar with the new words.

Then Koine turned away and walked out of the cavern, making her way back into the outside world. Taking a look around outside the cave, Koine figured the area could use just a little more terraforming. She began to add plenty more trees, most of which had needle leaves but also have mulberry mixed in. The area soon became a dark forest, with plenty of shadow and trees. It would be a bit more welcoming to the upcoming Arachne than the rather open and sunny area from before. Koine thought the land was coming along nicely, and wondered what the future had in store for her and the new inhabitants of the world.

[hider=Summary]
Koine spends the majority of her time terraforming the land to include more greenery and wildlife so the Loong have a way to sustain themselves. She also adds some mulberry trees and silkworms so the Loong would have a luxury good to farm and sell in the far future. After finishing the task, Koine spots a large spider, large as a dog, climbing down a tree with a few silkworms wrapped in silk and entering a cave. Curious, she follows it and meets a Broodmother spider, a spider as large as a car, who had sent its spiderlings out to hunt for food. It tries to attack Koine, but she quickly forces them back and has a small chat with the Broodmother.

Koine offers to provide it a location where it can find enough food for her and her babies, while providing silk for the Loong and maintaining good relations with them in return. The Broodmother accepts, and Koine then turns her into an Arachne, a half-human half-spider creature. 

After that, Koine terraforms the land further, creating a dark forest with plenty of trees, so the Arachne will eventually move out of the cave and have a comfortable environment.
