(Eons ago the demon realm)

Titan awoke from a nightmare.
In this nightmare he had seen so many terrible tragedies happening, one, in particular, being his death to save his son however there had been a small ray of hope in his dreams, he foresaw a gifted human female who would one day save his realm from utter destruction, in this part of the dream she had been wearing a beautiful suit of shining armor, in one hand she held her a long staff with a strange beast atop it and in the other hand she held a gleaming Saber. Then in the dream, she fended off a large armored knight dressed in black armor.

Titan had woken before he saw the outcome of the battle but somehow he knew that this young human would be a force for good and so he would craft her armor.

Titan dove off the cliff he had been resting on and went into the green ocean Below. He could fly to his destination but swimming was always so much more enjoyable.

After two hours of swimming, he came to the corpse of his mother, the supreme Titaness.

It saddens him to see her dead body but at the same time he knew because of his dream it was necessary.

His mother had been the biggest Titaness ever born or at least that is what his father had told him when he was younger, he had only scarce memories of his mother since she died when he was so young.

As he stepped on the shore a young Dwarf woman, named Astrid walked out to greet him.

Titan lowered his claws to bring her up to his eyesight.

"Greetings, young Titan. While it is good to see you I must ask why you have woken me so early?"

" I do apologize for interrupting your sleep but I assure you it is for a noble cause."

Astrid rubbed her eyes and then asked: what is this noble cause, my lord?"

"I'm commissioning you to craft a suit of indestructible armor, saber, and shield."

Astrid's eyes went wide open.

"Forgive me for asking my Lord but I doubt, I can make a suit of armor your size in my lifetime.

Titan laughed so Hartley that it shook the very world and shook her out of his hand. Titan quickly caught her in his wings and brought her back up.

"I apologize for that but anyway the armor will not be for me, it will be for a human warrior that will one day come to these shores."

Astrid thought about this for a moment then agreed.

"It shall be done my lord but I must ask, are there any symbols you would like to paint onto the shield? After all, any knight or worrier worth her/his salt should have their family crest or tribal symbol on the shield."

"True enough but because I do not know much of this future warrior so you will paint an image of yours truly."

Astride rolled her eyes.

"How honorable of you, my lord. I will begin immediately.

(Several months later)

Titan again came ashore to see the suit of armor he had commissioned.

Astrid walked out of her forge and was socked to the bone thanks to an enormous drop of water from titan's body.

"Whoops, sorry about that. How's the armor looking?"

Astrid wiped the water out of her eyes before answering.

"The armor is ready, my lord. I'll show it to you myself."

Astrid came out with a small card covered in a grey tarp.

"Well, it certainly is an interesting idea, Astrid. But I don't think it'll be good enough to defend anyone."

"That's merely a tarp my lord, the armor is under it."

Titan trying to hide his embarrassment then said: Of course it is, I was just testing you, now show it to me."

Astrid nodded then pulled off the tarp and revealed a gleaming set of silver armor.

The saber and shield were just as beautifully made as the rest of the set was, on the shield were painted Titan himself with both wings spread in the air. On The saber were inscribed several medical words written in the old language of the Titans, It was beautiful.

"Astrid, I must say this is some of your finest work yet!"

Astrid nodded in a way that meant she knew it was impressive and was not surprised by her master's kind words.

"Thank you, my lord. So what shall we do with the armor now?"

"If my dreams are correct then the chosen wearer of this armor will not come here for many eons to come so as your Lord and Master, I command you to hide this armor in a safe place where someday the warrior will find it."

Astrid again nodded. She looked again at the armor, shield, and saber she had created, they were glorious and would keep their shine and might for eons but it was a shame that she would not live to see the armor ever used in battle in her lifetime but she was bound by her oath to Titan's mother to serve him in any way possible and so she would follow his command. So she wheeled the armor back into the Titaness's skull and locked it away with the rest of her treasures. Wishing so much to see this supposed worrier wear her armor in battle against a mighty foe. She wondered how powerful this enemy must be in order to need armor as fine as this but whoever it was they must be horrifically strong and dangerous.
