     I thought for sure I would've been eaten by the giant, he looked thin, and hungry, but he never did, neither of the two did. No matter what they didn't bite me, or even hurt me. Were all other giants like that, I had wondered?

(IMAGE DOES NOT BELONG TO ME!! IT BELONGS TO TinyPancakes ON TUMBLR!!)

     Rishka slowly woke up, feeling a soft and warm surface underneath her. She wearily blinked, then sat upright. She immediately froze at what she saw. A giant, staring directly at her. The giant had plenty of scars on him, making him look more intimidating than he probably was. He had a javelin lodged in his shoulder and on his other arm. Rishka freaked out when she realized that the giant was holding her, and began to panic. The giant winced, nudging her with another finger, as if to say "please don't be scared." Rishka looked up and saw the giant still looking at her, and was now petting her. She flinched as she felt the giant's finger ruffling her hair, then noticed a rusted iron collar, much like the armor the T-Rex had, only it had a crystal in the center. She stood up, and the giant ceased petting her.

     "Do you want me to remove that javelin on your shoulder?" Rishka asked, pointing to his shoulder.

The giant nodded and lifted his hand to his shoulder. Rishka hopped off the hand, and scrambled towards the javelin. She gripped it, and the giant dug his nails into the concrete floors. She noticed his action, and hesitated for a few heartbeats. Then she readjusted her grip on the javelin, and pulled as hard as she could. It came out, and the giant roared, thrashing around wildly. Rishka clung to the linen cloth, her boots digging into the textile. He stopped thrashing, and looked at her. Rishka slowly and cautiously climbed up the ragged shirt towards the collar and used it as a ledge to get across from the front. The giant's hand hovered below her, just in case she fell. She continued along towards the other arm, and noticed that the javelin had specks of green. She hurried towards the javelin, a couple times losing her grip, but she managed to get to the javelin.

As she gripped the javelin, she saw the giant look away, and dig his nails into the ground. She hesitated, then pulled the javelin out. The giant roared in pain and flung her to the other side of the ravine. She tried to get up, but failed and ended up passing out while the ground around her trembled.

Rishka woke up, looking around. She saw the giant laying on the floor, like a dog awaiting its master. She slowly got up, and saw the giant lift his head, a worried expression planted on his face. He whined, and crawled towards Rishka. She noticed that he was chained, given she heard a chain buckling and the giant get yanked back. He laid down and crawled on his belly, the chain still yanked on him, but he was within grabbing distance of Rishka. She walked foreword and sat down in front of him, and he froze. She stared into his eyes, a magnificent shade of blue, and smiled at him. He whined and nudged Rishka with his nose, and in return she pet his nose. The giant began to purr, nuzzling her in her chest area, and Rishka felt at ease.

She stopped petting him after awhile and stood up. The giant looked at her confused, and she ran towards his arm. He had the look of a confused man, as if he was trying to say, "What are you doing?" Rishka climbed up his arm and jogged upwards, towards the collar. The giant lay still and motionless as she jogged towards the collar, and spotted a lever. Curious, she stalked towards the lever on the collar, and gripped it. She saw engraved next to the lever were two names: "Jack" and Sean. She stared for a while before gripping the lever and pulling down on it.

It released the giant from his collar, and he stood up, with Rishka still on his back. She carefully made her way to his right shoulder (which was closer) and sat down. He stared at a shadow, which had another pair of glowing eyes. Another giant, bigger than the one she had released, crawled into view. Rishka stared in wonder, confusion, and fear. There's two of them?!
