I watched silently without revealing myself, even with my humungous body its still able to camouflage within the murky water's.
Giaia has reached a height of 2.7 meters and her body is toned with visible abs, wide waist with a supple buttocks and her breast are now slightly bigger as she is still maturing. Her face hasn't changed much but its still flawless and beautiful. Overall it appears that she is becoming a mature adult as I estimate that she is 80 years old.
How can someone who's 80 years old can be considered as someone who's just becoming an adult?
Well this is due to the unique biology of the goliath specie as when they are born they are just slightly more chunkier then regular human babies but as you know most humans can only grow until they are 18 and very few exceptional cases grow after 18 but with the goliaths the growth doesn't stop which causes them to keep on growing slowly to attain their impressive sizes.
After decades of observing goliaths I can vaguely estimate that a health male goliath can grow upto 3 meters tall within the first 100 years of its life with the females just a bit shorter just like they are in human society.
Only after reaching an age of 100 or a century can a goliath be considered a mature adult and eligible to mate. Although younger goliaths are also capable of reproduction but according to the customs of the tribe its heavily frowned upon.
Before meeting me Giaia was treated as as outsider due to her difference appearance but now she is considered as a holy maiden due to her close proximity with me who's an holy animal for the goliaths.
To became the husband of the holy maiden would bring great honor to any bachelor and raise their status which could even exceed the elders. The goliath society heavily revolves around seniority as the older a goliath is the bigger it would be and the bigger it is the stronger it would be thus having greater status. But marrying the holy maiden would allow one to bypass all that allowing one to get preferential treatment and special feeding preavliges.
Giaia wore a skirt made out of bear hide and a top made of skin of some tiger like animal which I don't recognize along with a necklace which had one of my old tooth as she stood cross armed near the shrine.
She was surrounded by 5 other male goliaths with 2 being 2.8 meters tall and other 2 being 2.9 meters and 3.1 meters tall. The last one was 3.5 meter tall but unlike the other goliaths who had an athletic body this one had a pot belly with hanging double neck with disproportionate beard.
The two smaller goliaths stood besides the unfit goliath opposed to the the healthier goliaths.
"My brother would excellent as your husband, he shall keep thee fed and warm", spoke one of the goliath praising his brother to which one of the smaller goliaths who stood besides the ugly one retorted.
" Your brother is the son of a mere forager, what right does thou have to mate with thy maiden". The other lackey also added
"Our master is the son of the Chieftain's brother, Do thee still think thyself worthy of competing with thee". The moment the lackey spoke this the ugly goliath puffed out his chest, now that I look at him properly it appears that he is not only obese but also skinny fat with weak looking gangly arms. He appears to be the son of the chieftain's brother which means that he has been pampered all his life and never had to struggle for food.
The ugly goliath didn't even spared a glance at the two brothers and faced Giaia directly
"Become my maiden O holy one, Thou shall keep thee like a queen and all thee shall do is to warm thy bed", Giaia looked visibly irritated at this and after taking a deep breath spoke back.
" Keep thy thoughts to thyself, Where was thee was thou was starving and where was thee when thou was humiliated, Get lost before thee make thou leav".
After having this the ugly goliath was visibly angry and spoke again
"Does thou knows who thee is?, Thou's not only older but the son of the chief's brother. Does thou knows not of the consequences"
The ugly goliath due to his whole life being pampered completely ignored Giaia as status as the holy maiden and casually threatened her.
Giaia immediately pushed aside the two brothers and ran towards her tent to pick up her spear and pointed at the ugly goliath.
"Make thee", she shouted. After this the ugly goliath ordered his lackeys to capture her and they raised their wooden clubs immediately dashed towards her.
The two brother left the place as they didn't wanted to offend the ugly goliath any further, At the same time Giaia redied herself to intercept the lackeys.
I slowly swam along the river and climbed ashore from a position where the ugly goliath couldn't see me and slowly made my way across.
" Jharkon", Giaia shouted as she saw me immediately and thus foiled my plan to ambush the ugly goliath. The lackeys stopped and looked behind as well as the ugly goliath.
"Gr...gr Great Naga?", the ugly goliath shuttered as he was horrified by my size as I rose my head 6 meters into the air which completely dwarfed him.
The moment he gazed into my eyes all his physcical movement stopped as he was paralyzed by my Serpentine gaze which I like to call The basilisk's stare. The ugly goliath could still move his fingers but couldn't move any other part of his body but even if he could it was already too late.
I bit him on his shoulder and injected my highly lethal venom but not in enough dose to kill him immediately but only to strengthen the paralysis. Using my head I pushed him down and unhinged my jaw. The ugly goliath and his lackeys could only watch in horror as I swallowed him alive which took barely 7 minutes. The two lackeys knelt down begging for forgiveness and Giaia only stared silently in schock as this was the first time she had seen me kill and swallow my prey not to mention that this prey was even larger then her. I moved my heavily swollen body into the river where its easier for me to move around and headed towards my lair.
The goliath tribe probably would see this as some sort of divine judgement and wouldn't seek retribution and Giaia wouldn't be bothered again although I certainly knew that she wouldn't see me the way she did before.
What I just did was clearly opposite to the way I had lived before but maybe due to my newly acquired abilities and my large size I gained new confidence which was enough to ignore the consequences of my actions or maybe I got angry just the way any pet owner would get if sombody harmed their pet without any reason.
Ahh..... Well anyways time to sleep.
