Aware of the loud crash, Oz and Arthur turned their backs but saw nothing but fog and some blurry trees. There was a moment of silence for some time, and heavy breathing could be heard. Branches and twigs breaking could also be heard. "Stay back." Ordered Arthur, and Oz, trembling in fear, did so. The forest was all silent, and every 2 or 3 seconds a rumble like a small earthquake could be felt, as if each step of the nameless creature created the rumble.

Suddenly, came a very loud groan followed with strange words like," rebmuls ym morf pu em ekaw serad ohw". Then it started running towards Arthur and Oz, who could sense that too. Oz, unable to stand it anymore, screamed and ran away. The nameless creature charged right towards the screaming voice and growled. It, again mumbled strange words, "Ouy lliw tae i!" The ground kept shaking tremendously. Arthur, sweating and trembling in fear, ran and followed lucy as quickly as possible. The creature, which appeared as a giant with long strands of black hair, let out a deep breath and chanted out some strange non-human words. It seemed that it was chanting a spell. Arthur and Oz panicked as the giant kept charging towards them.

  "Don't look back!" Shouted Arthur. But it was too slow, Oz had turned her head back and saw the enchanted spell, she quickly but silently dropped to the ground and entered a deep sleep. The giant was about to pick Oz up when Arthur shouted," No!". He took out the water scroll and acting as a weapon, he threw it right to the giant's face.

  Amazingly, the scroll glowed and before even trying to dodge, a huge wave of water rushed out and swept the giant about 1 km away from them. Using this as a chance, Arthur took the scroll and carried Oz in his back. He ran out of the forest in a blink of an eye.
