The tree in which Brianna perched suddenly shook a bit. Jerking her arm out for support against the trunk, she quickly realized that it wasn't just the tree that was shaking...
"...what the hell..." Danny mumbled, as the ground quaked again.
It was rhythmic....steady....
Bri narrowed her eyes a bit, searching out over the horizon. Her face grew a bit ashen....
"...oh...dear..." she whispered. "Ed! Ed, get up here!"
As everyone braced against more quakes, Raptor leapt into the air, circling up to her vantage point. He paused, hanging effortlessly in the air, scanning the lands with her.
"Oh...crap..." he said. "Danny! Everyone! Take cover!"
Danny opened his mouth to question, when a shadow suddenly began to loom over the forest.
Templar's eyes widened, as a familiar spark of memory surfaced in his mind.
"Gods!" he yelled, everyone beginning to run for the cover of the forest. "Vanguard...SCATTER!!"
And, even as everyone leapt into the thick foliage of the green forest, Ozzy didn't move, looking back and forth for the cause of the tremors.
"What the hell's happening?!" he exclaimed. "What do you see?!"
Immediately, an enormous booted foot slammed directly down on top of him, driving him into the earth....
"...holy shit..." Grimm muttered.
The shadow of a giant...standing well over one-hundred stories tall....covered the field...as it never paused, continuing on its' trek. Seemingly oblivious, the epic-scale foot lifted from the field, moving on...
....giving no notice to the group that huddled in the treeline....
The quakes created from the footsteps slowly began to fade, as everyone began to get their bearings.
"...I...I didna' see it..." Bri said to Ed, as they both watched the golem-like creature continue into the distance. "...he...it...came from behind that mountain range..."
Danny cocked an eyebrow at Sam.
"...giants...?" he asked calmly.
"I...sorry....I guess my memories are too fuzzy....I had forgotten about them..." he stammered apologetically.
"...anything else you want to tell us....?" Hearn asked.
Drake stood over a small hole in the massive footprint left in the giant's wake.
"....Ozzy?" he said, peering into the darkness of the hole.
"...someone get me out of here...." came the muffled voice from deep within the ground.
"Where's Griss when we need him?" Phil remarked.
