Seele sat quietly as her creations below her scuttled about the rainforest, beginning the slow process of building a civilization.  They moved in harmony, their minds touching one another as they built in a way that only perfect understanding can bring.  They wove spider webs and silk to use as building material alongside the stone they cut from the mountains.  Dwellings fit for arachnids rose one after another, and they were filled with an ambitious, alien race that debated within their joined collective mind their purpose even as they worked. 

Periodic pauses occurred as they always gave time to listen for input from their Queen.  She rarely spoke to them, but when she did, they listened with rapt attention.  For now, Seele wished to see how they would build themselves up without her direct guidance. 

Lyra served as the nearly silent guardian of the people of Heavenfall.  She occasionally assisted in tasks that her great might could aid in, but most commonly, she patrolled the entrances to the domain of her Goddess.  

Seele stared down at her people, and within her she felt a possessiveness grow.  She knew that other gods were preparing to gather souls as they passed and she... had no wish to share.  Not her people.  They were hers, mind, body, and soul.  And they would not be taken from her.  No beings would be permitted to act as petty thieves of what belonged to the Sovereign of Pride. 

But neither would she attempt to steal from them.  

Seele raised her hand, focusing her divine power within the Hive Mind that connected them all, shaping and growing it to serve even greater purposes.  Within she built a cycle, one that passed through her and her Realm, and the Hive Mind pulsed with a sense of warm comfort-  Those within knew their Goddess watched over them and would protect them through life and death.  

They would stay together, standing tall and proud, forevermore. 

[Hider=Summary]

Aranea build a civilization while debating within the hivemind as to their purpose.  Seele grows possessive of those within the hivemind and weaves a greater blessing/curse within it to ensure that their souls would never be stolen from her.

Seele weaves a fuck-massive blessing/curse into the Hive Mind blessing/curse.  Too proud to share her creations without her blatant permission, she pulls any who are part of the collective into a cycle of reincarnation and endless memory. Any who perish will have their souls drawn directly to Seele and her Realm, before eventually being reincarnated as a new Aranea when one is born.  Newly born Aranea retain the memory of their Past Lives as a distant personal connection, knowing it is theirs, even though all of the Aranea share their memories through the collective.  Any who become part of the collective mind in the future shall become part of this same cycle. 

The souls of the Aranea(and other beings in the collective) are made extremely difficult to steal or take outside of this cycle, and attempts to do so will inevitably alert Seele and likely draw her calamitous wrath. 

5 MP/5 AP(Discounted from 20 MP/AP) spent on this blessing/curse, aligning with Pride and Seele's extreme haughty need to guard what she perceives as hers.
