I was holding my breath when the giant started to roam his eyes all over the place to search where Blode is hiding.I cursed to myself, thinking that he had no where else to go. The door is closed. There’s no window inside. Everything is sealed and the only thing you can go in and out of this room is through the door.The giant narrowed his one eye while scanning the whole place. I have a feeling he could smell Blode’s scent because his nose keeps on sniffing when his body automatically turns towards the pillow. I bit my tongue when the giant raised his hands and was about to grab the pillow to see what’s underneath when I yelled.“Ouch!”The giant immediately halt, glancing at me from the corners of his eye to see what’s wrong.“I-I couldn’t move my shoulder.” I seek, pointing at my right one.The giant was watching me closely underneath that horrifying gaze. I prayed silently while hoping Blode could escape under the pillow while I am buying him some time. If both of us gets caught.
This will be the end of us.There is no way we could escape from this hell.I could feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead as I looked around. Thanks to the enlightening light-colored coming from the torch, I got a good vision of what the room looked like. And as Blode said...He’s right.Because right now we are surrounded by several giants inside the room.I cursed softly as I realized that it was impossible for us to escape here even if the giants were still asleep. I followed the distance between us to the door and noticed we have jumped farther away from it.What should we do?!“P-princess, don’t panic.”I turned to Blode when he whispered to me. Just when I turned around, his face was very close to mine. I was short of breath because the tips of our noses were almost brushing against each other when he suddenly winced in pain.“W-we need to get out of here. Can you help me towards the door?”I bit my bottom lip when I looked down at his situation. It was obvious that he was
“Blode!”Fortunately, I got to his place right away. I helped him pull his body upright because it was difficult for him to straighten himself. I immediately wrapped his arm around my shoulder and guided him towards the door.“H-how did you do it?” I asked him while making sure he can move.He groaned, wincing in anguish then looks at me side eye.“I-I used the torch then rolled it towards them. Since the giants were about to attack me it was too late for them to avoid the fire.”I nodded, understanding the scenario in my head. That’s why he survived. In under any normal circumstances who’s ever in Blode’s situation, no one can really survive with that many giants encompassing you.He’s really a great and experienced warrior.“We’re almost there…” Blode whispered then motioned his head for me to focus my attention to the front.I nodded an quickly duck my head to crawl underneath. This time, I didn’t let go of Blode to make sure he could follow right behind me. He was having a hard ti
“Adolf-”Blode quickly covered my mouth before I could even yell Adolf’s name. He hurriedly pulled me to the back of a large table and at the same time, I felt Gigantor’s strong presence looking at us.Shoot, he probably noticed they’re not alone here.“Who’s there?!” his thundering voice shake the whole room. I closed my eyes and grab unto Blode’s arms because I could feel mine’s were shaking severely. I prayed silently that he didn’t caught us.“My gut is telling me we’re not alone here. Did you brought your packs with you?” Gigantor yelled once again then onset another deadly whip against Adolf. He let out a long groan that made my knees turned cold. His tone could tell anyone that his pain can not be comprehend with words.You’ll only know how torturing it is once you are in his position.“I told you to stay quiet.” Blode whispered against my ear. The tip of his upper lip is brushing against my earlobe. I bit my tongue and nodded. I want to curse at myself because I am being unwit
I couldn’t fathom his thought process. Why had we saved him? I glanced at Blode whose expression was filled with contemplation and worry. His countenance was drawn and weary, a feeling which we all shared in that moment.We were all completely drained from the task of rescuing him, yet there he still sat, seemingly unaware of the efforts we had gone through. He hadn't even thanked us for our efforts, despite the obvious danger and exhaustion that had overcome us during the rescue.“What exactly are you trying to tell me, Adolf?” I stepped closer to him and shifted my stance so he could see the level of distress written all over my face.Contemplation filled the air, only broken by the sound of our shallow breaths. His words were a bitter pill for me to swallow, and although I wanted nothing more than to ignore them entirely, there was no possible way for me to do that without consequences that would haunt me in the end.“You wouldn’t understand, Daciana…” he groaned before quickly ave
T-they…are dead?My heart started to beat erratically, a pounding in my chest that felt as if it was threatening to burst forth. I couldn't seem to get my lungs to function properly anymore; the air felt thick and heavy, and no matter how hard I tried I could not seem to take a full breath of much needed oxygen. It was like I had been submerged underwater and every passing second became more difficult to survive. The panic rising within me only added on top.I quickly glanced at Adolf, who appeared almost hopeless as he stared at Gigantor, the one responsible for this entire situation. We had both seen so much suffering and pain in this journey and it seemed to be endless. When will our troubles finally come to an end? All of us had been living in fear and sadness for far too long. It felt like we were stuck in quicksand, with each step sinking us further down into despair.“H-how dare you…” was all I could say.None of us said a word, our faces contorted in disbelief as we tried to c
Everything happened in a swift movement.Gigantor and Adolf clashed in a confrontation that no one could have ever imagined. It was a might struggle that left even me, an onlooker in the throes of chaos, wondering who would emerge victorious? Neither Gigantor was willing to back down until one was definitively defeated. Every blow they traded seemed to hit harder than the last as both competitors struggled tirelessly for supremacy. No matter how powerful the attacks were, neither party seemed to be backing down or wavering in their resolve.I covered my eyes with the back of my hand, but I couldn't help but keep peeking through my fingers out of curiosity. I firmly grasped the branch of the tree in an attempt to maintain balance, even though every muscle in my body was tense with anticipation. My heart was pounding and beads of sweat formed on my forehead as I held myself steady, trying desperately not to look away from what was about to unfold.I cursed under my breath. They were far
Taking down the giants is at the forefront of my mind right now and it's my number one goal.It's a daunting task to overcome such great adversaries, it would take courage, commitment, and careful strategy to succeed. I can't let fear of failure stand in my way - I must push myself to find the strength I need within me. Even if it seems like an insurmountable challenge now, I won't give up until victory has been secured.I have been dedicated to this for the past decade, honing my endurance and physical power whilst eliminating any of my doubts. I pushed myself to the limit for the sake of my father - sacrificing so much of my mental and physical energy. Even as I instilled in myself a sense of discipline, I knew that this would benefit me in the long run. Along with an increased understanding of who I was and what was important to me, this commitment granted me fortitude that has served me well throughout.I will save them once and for all!I let out an almighty bellow, brandishing m
