Chapter Text
7.35 C The girl looked up. Flora gestured to the gun.
7.35 C Another voice complained. Female. The other Giants murmured agreement. Flora had to jog around to show it to them. She was panting when she circled back to him.
7.35 C The voice came from another Giant. She looked down at Flora. She did not move. Giants—true Giants, not their children—could sit there forever. Or at least, since they had first come here.
7.35 C Now, the female Giant looked at Flora, puzzled. She looked at the others before addressing the little Human.
7.35 C That…didn’t make sense. Flora stared up at the female Giant’s features. So like a Human’s and yet—she was the mountains itself. That was how she seemed to have been born.
7.35 C Flora wanted them to be worried. She wanted them to…say something. Everyone listened to the Giants. Consulted with them. But the Giants seldom demanded or suggested anything. They just waited.
7.35 C A chuckle made the ground vibrate. Callidaz was laughing. No—just a chuckle of amusement. He smiled, and it was a gentle thing. He looked at Flora, amused.
7.35 C “You worry, Flora of Humans, that we will fear your weapons. That we should, for you will kill us.”
7.35 C Another rumble. They all chuckled. Callidaz shook his head and earth and stones fell. Flora backed up; she had borrowed a speaking stone to speak to them anyways. They would not hear her even if she shouted normally.
7.35 C This was hell. But perhaps those were only words? Flora had judged them, as they judged her. She had reservations. So had they. She did not think they were evil, or the Demons you heard about mentioned with wrath and hellfire.
7.35 C The other Giants murmured. Flora looked at them, desperately.
7.35 C They whispered the words, of every race, living and gone. Callidaz looked at Flora after the echoes stopped.
7.35 C Flora closed her eyes.
7.35 C The Giant’s voice was kindly. Flora nearly wept herself. She shouted up at him and her voice bounced upwards, echoing, echoing…
7.35 C The world trembled. Flora fell to her knees. First she feared it was their wrath. Then she realized.
