Chapter 159 - Chapter 159 A Giant In The Forest

As they all left the inn Thomas glanced at Micheal and asked "Why did you call it a war if you could've just done it yourself?" Micheal stared at him and said "A king must maintain his image, so we aren't actually allowed to fight despite our strength unless we get a challenge directly or are under attack." As they arrived at the gate Micheal said "I've gotten a few of my soldiers to pose as traveling merchants with food cargos, go with them and Your sure to find the beast." Thomas glanced at him and said "So your rarely able to leave the castle?" Marcus stared at Thomas and said "Not entirely true i was able to come here by calling it a meeting." Thomas yawned and said "That sounds very boring." As Thomas began to walk away down the path Daisy stared at Micheal and Marcus and said "Please forgive him for his ignorance." Marcus glanced at her and said "You have nothing to apologize for, just make sure you come back safe." Daisy glanced at him and said "Alright." As they all left Micheal asked Marcus "Do you think they'll be able to handle it?" Marcus sighed and said "We're unable to do anything else for them right now so all we can do is pray." After walking into the trail for a while Thomas sighed and asked "How much further?" One of the knights glanced at him and said "We should be in its territory now." Thomas stared at the knight and said "I'm not smelling any strange animals." Lily stared at him and said "I'm sure you'll be able to smell it once we get closer!" Ocis grabbed onto Thomas's arm and said "If you want I can get a view from above." Thomas froze for a moment and said "This smell isn't an animals." Ocis stared at him and asked "Do you think the creature is a person?" Thomas shrugged and said "It's somewhere up ahead." Thomas glanced at the others and said "The creature is somewhere up ahead." Peri and Ceil glanced at each other and said "This might be our next big fight!" They all stared at each other and asked "Do we have some sort of plan?" Poppy nodded and said "I should be able to think of a plan." Ocis looked around and asked "Where did Thomas go?" Mira looked down the path and said "I guess he doesn't care for the plan." Lily stared at him and asked "Why is he running down the path?" As Thomas stood on the path he stared into the forest and sat down. The others all stared at him and asked "What's he doing?" Thomas sat there and asked "So are you human or are you some sort of animal?" As Thomas asked a voice said "I'm not human nor animal." Thomas shrugged and said "If this is some sort of riddle I give up so just tell me." As a giant fist grabbed him from the forest and pulled him in he asked "Is all this really necessary?" As it pulled him closer to itself Thomas stared at it and asked "Are you gonna answer my question or not?" It glared at him and said "Your just a demi human." Thomas stared at it and said "Well your just an oversized human." She set him down and said "You look familiar." Thomas stared at her and asked "So why are you hiding in the forest?" She stared at him and said "My village was attacked and destroyed, I no longer have anywhere to go so I've been waiting here for food carts to pass by." Thomas stared at her and said "You May be unaware of it but you've made the king in that nearby city pretty mad." Thomas day down and said "You should count yourself lucky that he can't leave his kingdom." She stared at Thomas and said "It was his people that destroyed my village with their armies." As Thomas sat there he heard Lily and the others begin to call his name. The giant stared at him and said "Those people are searching for something." Thomas stood up and said "They're calling for me." She grabbed Thomas and stared at him as she said "Your with the king aren't you?" Thomas stared at her and said "Yeah but killing you is still optional." She stepped out of the forest and onto the path while shouting "Stand back or I'll crush him!" Lily stared at her and said "It's a giant!" The kings men left the carts and began to charge towards the giant as they shouted "Quickly bring the giant down for the king!" She glanced at Thomas and asked "Do they even care that I've taken you as a hostage?" Thomas yawned and said "Probably not." She swatted the men away and said "These humans don't even care about you so why stick around." Thomas stared at her and said "There's a few of them that aren't so bad." The giant stared at Lily and the others who were standing by the carts as she said "They are much smarter." Thomas stared at her and said "Well not all of them are human." She stared at Thomas and asked "Why are you having a casual conversation with me when I'm beating your forces effortlessly." Thomas glanced at the knights and said "Yeah when I fought them I thought they'd be a lot more impressive to." Lily glanced at Ocis and asked "Are you able to help him?" Ocis nodded and took to the sky as she shouted "Give him back!" Thomas glanced at Ocis and said "I should've seen this coming." The giant raised her hand and attempted to slap Ocis. Thomas glared at her and said "Don't do that." The giant stared at Thomas and said "If she chooses to attack me I have no choice but to kill her." Thomas glanced above the giant and mumbled "Storage magic should have something useful." As a tree fell out of the sky and onto her head she shouted "Who did that?" Thomas glared at her and said "I told you not attack her." The giant stared at Thomas and said "A demi human with magic?" Thomas stared at her and said "I can careless about those guards but don't hurt them." She stared at Thomas surprised and said "Now I know why you look so familiar." She set Thomas down and said "You were the same demi human who saved our village from that dragon attack." Thomas stared at her and said "I don't have a clue about what your saying." She sat down and said "Not only do you look just like him you can use magic." The guards stared at Thomas and the giant as they whispered amongst themselves. Ocis landed beside Thomas and asked "Are you hurt?" Thomas stared at her and said "No I'm fine." The giant stared at Thomas and asked "Do you really not remember saving my village from that dragon?" Thomas shook his head and said "Sorry not a clue." Lily walked up to Thomas and said "It's probably because of your amnesia." The giant stared at Thomas and said "I don't really remember much of it myself but the orange eye and tail are a dead giveaway." She picked Thomas up once again and said "Maybe I can help you remember somehow." Scarlett stared at Thomas and asked "What did he get himself into this time?" Daisy glanced at Scarlett and said "I guess she knows him." Poppy stared at Thomas and said "It's to bad he doesn't have any memories of her." The giant stared at Thomas and said "When you fought the dragon you beat it with one attack despite all of our people working hard together to even scratch it." She set Thomas down and said "I'm sure you could easily kill a demon lord." Thomas sighed and said "First Marlin and now you, why can't I remember being super strong." Ocis stared at Thomas and said "Maybe your amnesia caused you to lose your strength." Thomas shrugged and said "Well whatever caused it I'm sure it doesn't matter to much." Thomas began to walk back towards the kingdom as he said "I can't remember anything about it so trying to figure it out is pointless." The giant stood up and began to follow Thomas as she said "I should go with you." Thomas glanced at her and asked "Why?" She stared at him and said "If I'm with you I won't need to attack carts for food." Thomas shrugged and said "The king probably won't be to happy about it." She stared at Thomas and said "If that king wants a fight I'm sure you'll protect me." Thomas sighed and said "I picked up yet another problem." As they arrived at the kingdom Marcus and Micheal were waiting at the gate and asked "Why is there a giant with you?" Thomas shrugged and said "Long story, I'm sure you can sort it out." Marcus stared at Thomas and said "I need to have a word with Daisy." Thomas glanced at him and said "She's with the giant." Marcus walked towards Daisy and said "I'll be needing your help at the castle." Daisy stared at him and asked "Why?" Marcus stared at her and said "Mason found a way to make people stronger, however we need someone we can trust." Daisy stared at him and said "Alright I'll go with you then."
