(Ottar POV)

'Damn it Allen.' I thought in my head as we all continue to look for him in the fog realm. As I kill another kolbold with my fist, I hear a growl. Well, multiple growls. 

"To our right." I hear Sigrun say as she unveils her wings while holding her scythe out. I turn to my right and see some more monsters emerging out of the fog. I then hear something different. 

'Is that...' I thought before confirming my suspicions as I hear the clanging of a silver blade and its metallic scent fills the air. I look to where the scent and noise came from as see the brief clashing of metal. 

"Ther-" I shout before backing up as a heavy draugr swings down its axe. I immediately punch its face, its jaw flying out of its skull. I immediately slash my sword horizontally, killing a hoard of monsters with ease. I then see Tione and Tiona slashing with their blades before seeing something that made my jaw drop. 

'Shit.' I thought as I a large beast easily the size of Folkvangr and large stones on its body.

"What the hell is that!?!" Tione screams as I hear the colossi roar as it starts to swing its large stone sword

"What the hell is that!?!" Tione screams as I hear the colossi roar as it starts to swing its large stone sword. 

"MOVE!!" I shout as we all move out of the way. I roll to the side as it finally slams its sword hand on the ground. I large shockwave immediately erupts from the ground, making me stumble a bit. 

"How can there be a colossi here?!" Sigrun exclaims as the monster immediately lifts its stone sword again and looks at Sigrun. I suddenly feel a sharp pain on my back. 

"ACK!!" I shout in the first time in 10 years as I twirl around and swing my sword behind me, only to slice thin air. 

'The hel-' I thought before seeing the colossi's shadow behind me, raising its stone sword again. 'Shit!' I thought as I immediately move to the right as it slams the tip of its sword onto the stone ground, sending a shockwave onto the ground while dust and debris flies everywhere. 

"Ottar, you okay?" I hear Sigrun shouts as I see another pack of killer ants in front of me. 

"Yeah! I'm fin-" I say before I stop myself as I see the same shimmer of silver again, cutting through the killer ants like nothing. "Uh, we're not alone!" I shout as I see a kolbold trying to sneak behind me. I immediately twirl around and kick it in the face, immediately killing it. 

"Be more specific!" I hear Tione shouts as I see her fight a large minotaur. 

"How do you want me to be more specific?!" I shout as I turn around to look for Sigrun and see her flying in the air, shooting beams of light at the colossi only for the beams to aggravate the monster more. I mentally sigh as I turn around, only to see a familiar face in front of me. "Davis?"

(Davis POV)

"Davis?" I hear Ottar mutter as I land on the ground, Allen on my back.

'Crap.' I thought as I immediately jump back while using my witcher senses. I notice an army of minotaurs and bugbears behind me. I twirl around and quickly sign my igni symbol onto the ground, burning all of the monsters in front of me. They all roar in pain as I quickly twirl around and look at the shocked Boaz in front of me. I then see a 5 foot tall Sword Stag creeping up behind him. 

"DUCK!" I shout as I pull him down while jumping above him. I stab the stag in its face with my silver sword. It howls in pain as I pull my sword out its head, making it evaporate into dust. I look at Ottar who looked at me. 

"Thank-Look out!" he shouts as I see the colossi's pillar shadow above me. I immediately rollout of the way as it slams onto the ground, with brown dust flying around us. I immediately stab my sword onto a crack on the pillar. I see Ottar's eyes widen in shock as he looks at me. 

"I got this!" I shout, reassuring him as I feel the pillar lift off the ground, pulling me up along with it. I immediately drop Allen onto the ground, leaving Ottar confused. I look back up and see streaks of light hitting the colossi's head, making it roar in anger. I feel the wind hitting my face like a lightning bolt as I begin to climb the pillar, thankful that the armor of the monster broke due to years of decay. 

'Damn, Sigrun's here.' I thought as I continue climbing the pillar while placing my hand in my satchel. I rummage through it before I finally touch the potion that I need. 'There it is.' I think as I take out an ultimate alghoul decoction. I immediately take the cork off and down it in one gulp, feeling the potion flow through me and boosting my stamina tenfold. I clutch my blade tightly as I climb on the broken structures wrapped around the arms of the colossi. 

"Davis?!" I hear Sigrun shout as I near the weakpoint of every colossi, the head. 

"Not now Sigrun!" I shout as I climb on the back of the colossi's head, seeing the faint glow of its weakpoint. 

"Here!" I hear her shout as I stand on top of the head. I look to see a golden weapon flying towards me. 

'Shit!' I scream in my head as I instantly dodge to my left while catching the weapon. I look to see a golden sword on my hands. I internally groan as I was about to throw it away before I realize something. 

I wasn't holding onto anything. 

"FUUUCKKK!!" I scream as I begin sliding down the back of colossi as it begins to to shake its head. I try to grab onto its fur, only to realize that it didn't have any on the top of its head. I instinctively did the one thing I didn't want to do, use the golden sword. I plunge the sword into the colossi's back, splitting it apart. I hear the colossi roar in pain as it starts to fall forward. I immediately feel myself falling as I tightly grip the golden sword. 

'GODDAMNIT!' I shout in my head as I begin to lose my grip with the sword before feeling 2 arms wrap around my waist. 'What the?' I thought as I feel myself lift above the sword, feeling weightless. I look back as I see Sigrun holding me tightly while flying in the air. I roll my eyes before looking back, seeing the colossi kneeling with the stone appendage supporting it while black blood gushes out of its back. I look back and look at Sigrun in the eye with a stern look behind her helmet. 

"Fuck."

I'm finally back! Due to school starting, I couldn't work on this to much. I'll try to update more now that I have Covid. See you in the next chapter!
