The trees scream in resonance at the thunderous steps of the giant gliding through the sky. Birds flee, wolves hide and the world shakes.
Adam, who seemed asleep looks up and closes his eyes and reopens them, his eyes are blood shot and his mouth agap, he rubs his forehead.
"I am here, as he arrived?". Leaves his mouth.
Outside, the thunderous steps remain there approach.
Once those words exited his mouth a large and announcing voice echoed throughout the entire clearance.
"Wake up!"
The voice was none other than the great sky stepping giant, he holds his right hand out, a door enveloped by a deep darkness sits upon his right palm.
His shout causes the tents to shake a large gusts of winds begun to run amok.
Adam, somehow knowing what is about to happen shouts.
"All of you stay inside!" Adam exits his tent facing the hovering giant.
Renard and Dale worried ignore Adam's warning and stand with him.
The giant unveils the hood of his cloak, the dawning sun shines the giants grey hair making it glow silver.
At the glimps underneath the cloak, he wears a black Taoist robe, highlighted with purple stripes, that is all that could be seen.
As he did that the darkness enveloping the door disappeared. The form of the door is shown. The frame of the door is made of thousands of fangs, of creatures unrecognisable.
The doors themselves, show an epic of a story. Something the people gazing at cannot comprehend.
A seven armed deity fighting 5 spheres all elapsing the deity, making it seem pointless. Each panel shows the death of the 5 spheres. The ending was cracked and shattered, not yet to be known.
Adam who seems to be different, faces the man with less fear but the others, all other emotions they had before disapated. Only leaving fear, Renard swollows saliva not fully losing himself.
The giant plunges the entire clearances air with an eerie aura, stopping the powerful breezes.
The giant laughs.
"So yer dare to tell your strongest to stay inside, ain't yer a brave one".
His voice stills echos, none of them speak. They allow the giant to continue.
It laughs once more.
"Yer think me giant, but I. I am of the dwarven peoples!" He smirks with clear arrogance and pride, his eyes do not move since he can feel all within the aura he expanded.
"Well, time to collect..treasure". He says before making the door hover.
The door floats out from his palm onto the ground, Adam and the others were a small distant away but still felt the quake the door made once it hit the ground.
Bifff*
Instantly the door expanded doubling the size of the giant, the double doors open ever so slightly.
Adam who was feeling less fearful also begins to shake in fear.
Renard looks to his left and right gazing at his fearing companions and comes to a decision.
He steps forward, he postrates and bows to the giant.
"O, powerful one. Please besiege my words. We have nothing. Not a thing, no treasure you could desire so please, leave us be."
Knowing what he must do he immediately begins to beg the monster ahead of him.
The giants laughs once again, more of a mocking cackle than a actual laugh.
"Yer seem somewhat aware, but blind. Let me tell yer. I me are after nor treasure such as dharma weapons or ones formed from refinement no, I, me are after the ones of the soul.
Yer all hold a power I need, so I'll take yer all in and syphion it for me self."
He says not fearing in telling them the truth.
Renards conviction does not yield, Adam seeing how Renard is begins to recover his backbone, Dale remains frozen in his state of supernatural fear.
"This power you speak of, we do not have!" Adam yells with his recovered mental strength.
The giants smirk retains itself. He lifts his left hand seemingly casting a spell. Instantly he appears above the building height door.
He lands atop of it, he spreads the murky aura across the door.
Adam and Renard the only ones sane to look up, strian their neck.
Renard remains postrated, Adam refuses to do such a thing.
Renard who is postrating begins to ween in his confidence seeing the giant teleport.
The children who are hidding within the tents only feel slight fear enough, enough to not dare look out, placing full trusting in the adults.
"O great SIR, please". Renard cries scared seeing the supernatural, Adam adamant about not begging remains quiet.
Renard entirely kowtowing opposite of Adam.
Cackle escapes the giant again.
"Hmm, I don't think I will. Just like yer said, yer have nothing but yerself to give. Wethers yer like it or not."
With the same energy he used to slightly open the door, he begins to form runes around himself with it, the formed symbols fully opened the double doors. Revealing a black fire abyss empty void.
Emerging from the black fire ten tenticles sprout, at the speed of a galloping horse.
His first target was the one he deemed the most dangerous.
3 elongated tentacles smash the fragile tent and pull Ashley and Jack from the tent, bringing them into the abyss off fire.
"Bastard, let them go now!" Adam roars in anger his closeness with the children destroying the lingering fear he held.
Renard now Dale posture in submission begging to be spared.
Two good people, now thriviling on the ground like bugs.
Adam seeing this grits his teeth.
'Disaster, an inescapable disaster.' He takes his eyes off both Renard and Dale. He notices his incoming tentacle, knowing he cannot escape he screams and bashes into Renard.
"GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!" After he screamed that, the tentacle drags him into the abyss.
Renard who had been shoved into dirt by Adam, holds himself up with both his arms while his face, faces the ground.
'What am I doing, what should I be doing?'. Next to him Dale is also captured.
"Damn you!" Renard punches the ground in pure anger and terror.
A tentacle comes for him.
*teooth*
From his abdomens a black and grey tortoise with a sphere extends itself deflecting the charging tentacle.
Renard had clasped his eyes, waiting for his incoming fate. But it hadn't happened.
A voice powerful speaks in delight.
"I see, yer awakened something peculiar. I can have yer as a disciple. Maybe once yer ripen I can..
Don't worry about yer age, I have a solution for that problem ". He laughs with menace.
A barrier surrounds the closed eyed Renard 2 meters in all directions.
It vibrates a blue glow emitting pure power.
Renard chooses to ignore the giant, he knows of the barrier, but by the comfort of the giants voice he knows he is still within his grasp.
The giant once again begins forming runic symbols with the mysterious energy.
Three spears made of black chard faces form, the faces scream in relentless agony.
The giant faces his left arm forward sending the spears straight for the weak points of the shield.
The first to hit has been entirely guarded but the third caused it to shatter, once it has shattered Renard faints entirely to the ground.
This shattering caused a minor windstorm, one stronger than the echoed voice of the giant.
"Such power and yer yet to enter [great becoming], the Qi field.
The way it came out.
It reminds me of a legend..a tortoise.." he says to himself while leering his eyes to the left door panel.
His hope grew even more, he brings Renard into the abyss.
He floats down to the ground and harnesses energy into the door reverting it to its previous size and places it inside a purple bag.
He steps on the sky once more, and enters the direction of a great mountain range.
