When the giant is finished with his meal, he spits out the armour of Crawe. I have tears in my eyes as I look up at the giant with fear that I will be next as he licks his coups and then his little head burps at the meal, "So tell us how you...... got here...... or we eat her." the giant tells us as he points at Isabelle for me to struggle a little not wishing for the princess to be harmed at all, "No, general." I heard one of the giants say as he stepped up, "I found her. The right to eat her...... is mine alone." he tells us as the leader then grabs his hanging mace to swing it, hitting the giant in the face as I go pale while watching all this, "We know the rules...... of the hunt, Fumm." the leader tells his solider who must go by the name Fumm, "But she is different!" the leader tells Fumm as the little head is grunting that it is the way of law, "The general abuses his power. You're not our king." Fumm tells the general as Fumm is on the ground, they end up growling at each other like wild animals. 

While we watch this exchange, there is tension, "No! I believe that distinction...... now belongs to me." I heard someone familiar say as I looked that way with Elmont and Isabelle as the leader looked there as well, "Foe? Fye?" the general questions as I lay there with puzzlement on what was happening, "We had no choice, General Fallon." one of the giants says as the other begins to move out of the way with his brother, "He has the...the.." the other one says as I see Roderick standing there which has me to feel relief that he is here to save us but what is on his head, "The crown." Fallon states I know that it is the crown from a legend because it gives off a glow, and it can make the giants do his bidding, "Yes, the crown." Roderick tells the giant, who groans, knowing that it is all interconnected, "Cut from the same rock...... as your hard hearts." Roderick stated as he was walking towards General Fallon with the giants bowing to him as the general was backing up away from Roderick, "They are inextricably linked. To deny the crown...... is to deny your very existence." Roderick was explaining as the general was grunting in pain trying to fight the urges of being under its spell. 

Roderick then indicates to the ground, "So on...... your knees." Roderick orders as Fallon goes on his knees. I feel happy that the lord is here to save us, and he is on our side, "Lower." Roderick orders as the genreal then bend down lower with us watching all this, "Lower." Roderick orders as the giant then is fully on the ground in a bow as I smile happily. We are to get out of here. Roderick then climbs the giant as he is going to the throne that he is to stand on, "Roderick!" Isabelle breaths out as I look to the man standing there with me happy that we are saved, "On your feet, general." Roderick orders the general. As the giant gets up, I watch him stand with his fellow giants, "Prisoners of Gantua!" Roderick was yelling to the giants as I don't wish to stick around here, "Well done, Roderick. Have them release us at once." Elmont tells the lord, who puts up a hand looking at us like a parent to their children, "Ah-Bup-Bup. I'm talking to Giants at the moment. By the way, darling...... wedding's off." Roderick tells us, as I do not like this, as he has called off the engagement to the princess, which is not normal, "What?" I heard Isabelle whisper under her breath as Roderick then went back to the giants, "So prisoners of Gantua...... I bring you the gift of freedom! Tonight, we feast...... but tomorrow, you shall return below with me...... as your new king." Roderick was saying as all the colour ran from my face at the news, "First...... we'll take the kingdom of Cloister...... and then her neighbours. And in time, we will...... test this Viking myth of a greater land across the sea." Roderick was telling the giants.  

I did not know what to think as this is not good we are a meal tonight it seems, "Roderick, are you mad?" Isabelle questions her previous betrothed, "Yes. It seems that power's gone directly to my head." Roderick tells us as I struggle in my bonds when the guy points to the crown on his head, "You traitorous bastard!" Elmont yells out as I wish to strangle the man in front of us, but I am still tied up, it seems, "Yeah. As I was saying...... gather your armour...... sharpen your swords...... and prepare for battle...... everyone! We attack at dawn!" Roderick tells his army as the giants are chanting out hail to their new king while I wish to strangle him and hang him up for the crows to eat at him.
