### Mr. Web: Once Upon A Time...

Michael Web was from the green isle of Erin. The son of a clan chieftain raised to a lord, he had the resources to travel to Albion to attend school to become a medical doctor. He had hoped to become rich and famous but he once got to the college, he realized he would be lucky if he passed at all.

Befriending a young man named Muffet, who was also out of his league, Still, despite the odds being stacked against them, Web and friend studied hard and together were able to graduate and go on to open their own clinics. Though they rarely had chance to meet as Muffet returned to his hometown to marry and Web set off to seek adventure, the two doctors maintained regular correspondence through letters.

Many years later, after years of exploring the four corners of the world, eating a strange cuisine, and dining with kings and warlords in a dozen kingdom, Web decided to settle down. He bought a villa in his favorite resort town in Toscane and open a modest clinic . When things had calmed down, and he finally began to enjoy the small wonders of this new lifestyle, Web decided to write his friend to explain that he envied Muffet's choice to live a quieter life.

After a few exchanged letters, Muffet proposed sending his daughter to his old friend so that the two could marry. Skeptical that his friend's daughter and he would have anything in common, Web begrudgingly accepted the offer. When the young woman arrived, Web was taken back by her beauty and he nervously kept himself busy to avoid speaking to her whenever possible. Convincing himself that there was no way she would be interested in him, Web spent a small fortune on making sure she was afforded all the Luxuries Toscane could offer and kept busy having so much fun that she would want to stay, even if it meant putting up someone like him.

However, when the two actually did get around to talking, the two found they had much more in common than they imagined possible. The two spent their days laughing and falling in love, until Web was called off to war just days before their wedding was to be held.

As a surgeon, Web never thought he would be on the frontlines of a Sheeda invasion but that is exactly what happened one night. Before the army could rout the Sheeda forces, the rushed the medical camp and grabbed Dr. Web and many others.

Exposed to the Sheeda conversion process and contained to one of their membrane pods, Dr. Web was forcibly changed into something else. Though in a deep, transformative torpor, Web still dreamed of sweet Miss Muffet never giving up on him. So he could not give up on her.

When he emerged from the pod, Web had green-grey skin, long ears, and spider-like legs protruding from his back but he also still had his soul. Though he had layers of Sheeda programming to rid himself of as he slowly pieced his identity together, Web was able to shed whatever programming was left the instant his commander hacked off the leg of a beautiful woman that Web could never forget.

Killing the commander and a dozen of other Sheeda that tried to stop him, Web rescued his unconscious bride-to-be and fled. He saved her life and eventually when they found their way to Earth, she became his wife.

### Supplemental Reports:

* (*Submitted by Herald*) Sheeda drones are notorious for being easily fooled and lacking creativity and intelligence. For this reason, the Sheeda will often employ human and Fable agents to their cause. Though he has been transformed into a Sheeda drone, only disguising himself as human with glamour, Web has regained his full scope of his Fable senses and intelligence.
* (*Submitted by Herald*) **Love in the Time of Sheeda:** Michael was not the only survivor of the Sheeda conversion process, but most who escape becoming True Sheeda do not experience the full body conversion — having a natural immunity to the Bleed, being rescued before the process is completed, or having a faulty pod. This is what makes Web so special. He was transformed physically and mentally, but his soul remained uncorrupted — and not by his own force of will, but the will of his bride. The concept of love is alien to the Sheeda so they likely still are unable to understand what happened with this particular Sheeda. If there is anything that is more powerful counter to vorpal magic than "True Love" it is Unyielding Love. And this case proves that Unyielding Love is apparently more powerful enough to resist the Bleed's corruption from reaching his soul, even across the vast space of them being in different realities at the time. Many Fables seek to find a way to weaponize Penny's love to stave off the Sheeda for good. I need to introduce the Webs to Star Sapphire.
