The Highest Place

Chapter 8: Destruction and Transformation!

The guards standing on the walls backed away as the giants chest enveloped them in its shadow.  They ran as they saw the giant bring back her foot, they knew that this time she would not wait for them to open up the gates that had protected the city for generations.

"BOOM!!!"

The whole city shook as the a loud explosion reverberated through the streets as the stone walls crumbled giving way to a giant leg that cleaved the massive wall in two like a sword.

The force blew people off of their feet, sending them flying for miles only to land on the stone covered ground only to die or be crippled for life.

"Oh my god! She's going to destroy the city!"

"Run!"

Laufey smiled as she saw the little people run from her feet. It was a sight that she had seen many times before and yet it still never became old or any less fun.

"Run you little insects! Run away and maybe just maybe you will be able to survive!" She yelled out her voice making the wind blow fiercely through the city.

Laufey for a brief moment took one more look behind her. She saw Duncan, she gazed down at the little man's face which for the first time seemed to be so filled with life that he stared at her in anger. Laufey loved that look, finally she was doing damage to the insect even though it wasn't physical.

Laufey turned her eyes back onto the city. "Stop me if you can little man."

The people ran through the streets as two massive feet descended from the sky. Buildings where crushed along with carriages, animals, and people by toes that dwarfed them in size.

Her very body casted a giant shadow over the residents, all they where left with in the end was a gigantic Titan filled with power and strength.

The people screamed as the Titan bent down lower and with her hand picked up a hand full with her fingers. She rose up to her full height and held them in her hands.

"What have we here?" The giant said as she brought the little humans up to her face. "Maybe a little snack?"

"Stop it." His voice seemed to echo and rise above the screams of the panicking people. All eyes where on a single man that rose above the cowering crowd.

"You have no right to do this!" He yelled out as he stood his ground in front of the giant face of the female titan. "We are just people trying to live our lives, what right do you have to take that from us?!"

It was quite as no one dared to make a sound. Soon this quietness was shattered from the giggling that turned into laughter, laughter so loud that it made everyone cover their ears.

"What right do I have you ask?" She said with a wide smile that revealed her building sized teeth. "I have every right you little speck of nothing, can't you see that?"

The little man watched with horror as two giant fingers descended towards him, grabbing ahold of his clothes and lifting him into the air. He hovered before her mouth, dangling in the wind.

"You humans are weak, all of you are small and feeble. It's a rule as old as the world itself." The giant brought her tongue and licked the little man. "The strong take from the weak." she whispered.

The people in her massive hand watched as the she opened up her mouth and without waisting anymore time tossed the little man in her awaiting Maw.

Laufey tossed the little man in her mouth, she savored his flavor as she looked down at the countless humans in her hands.

The man was so small that he wouldn't even be able to be an appetizer. She could barely fill the man on her tongue, that didn't stop her from letting out a loud "Gulp!"

Laufey looked down at the little people and smiled. "Whose next?"

"Stop!"

Laufey turned and looked to the Far East of the city. She saw him from afar standing on a far off building staring back at her with deadly eyes.

"Duncan Chulainn." She said as she turned and faced her small opponent. "Have you finally come to face me?" She asked with excitement. "What a shame I was just getting started with this city."

Laufey gazed down At the little man. To her the small warrior seemed different as a red aura surrounded his body, an aura that continued to grow stronger.

"How dare you." Duncan said with an angry tone. "How dare you..." he repeated. "HOW DARE YOU!!!!"

Duncan with wide eyes yelled towards the heavens. Red veins appeared all over his body as his form began to change and grow bigger and wider. Duncan screamed out loud as his flesh was repeatedly torn apart and stitched back together. His muscles swelled up with power and strength, his clothes began to rip as he grew from 5 ft tall to 7 ft tall.

Laufey looked on from above. "What's happening?"
