He grabs the black glass orb that was used to hold the dwarf.   Until about ten minutes ago, only Blizzard and Kim were considered so dangerous as to use the artifact that blocked ALL magic – their ultimate weapon and source of protection.With no magic to carry them from the mountain to the battlefield they fear the worse.   They call on a Huge Glacier Eagle to carry one of them to her.New fear rises in the leader’s chest.She is here and so is Blizzard.  Fearful of any sort of cooperation between the two he urges the bird on.  It circles them once.  The creature of death wavers in the air.  The aura of anti-magic is reaching out to her already.  Blizzard snarls at the Giant on the huge bird.   Then he leaves.  The battle is not worth it.  She is the Giant’s problem- not his.She falls to the ground and the giants look for her.  They find her easily as she can barely move.  Once more… she is at their mercy…. But how this time?  She can still feel the power within her.  It grows as her frustration grows…. But she cannot access it.“How?”The giants surround her.  “She is nothing.  She is no god… she is warm meat.”They grab her.  She tries to break free but cannot.  She has nothing on her.  She even left her spear at the ruined fortress.  She tries a different tactic.  “My friends are coming back.  Release me- I may yet calm them.”The giant smiles and puts her down next to a large chunk of ice.  With iced links of chain, they begin to wrap her to the ice.  “I think not.” says the giant.She cannot free her arms from the chains.  Her breast plate is heavily damaged and her robes under them are tatters.   Between this and her pale skin she looks more undead than anything else.The captain stares down at her.  He motions for a young looking giant to join them.   The captain leans over her.  “I should thank you.  You killed the clerical grandmasters.  My nephew here will most likely become the new grand marshal over anything cold.  For me… you killed my leaders.  I am now the master of this fortress until the queen returns from her journey to the fire lands.”“Then…. Show your thanks and be a gentleman and release me.”The giant stands up right and laughs.   He kneels down on one knee and holds out the black crystal ball.“Do you know what this is?”“Yes…. Too bad you will not have any children.” She says with bitterness and hostileness.He thumps her hard in the head with the crystal.  Blood flows freely.  “Is that… all you can do…..?” she mumbles.He strikes her with the globe now.  Teeth are spit out.  Blood pours out.  “Anything else you wish to say?”She spits again. “Yeah…. You are crude also.”  “Did you know some of the people you killed were my friends?”“What of it?” “Your magic of the mind shattered their bones.   Can you imagine what that must have felt like.”“Whatever.”“Perhaps I will shatter you- insulting bitch.” Growls the giant as he places the globe at her feet, freeing his hands.“Bring it.”  And she morphs her face to resemble his.Several giants step back in fear.  She has defied the power of the orb!He punches her in the gut.  Several ribs give.“Any more comments?”Wheezing… she looks up and spits out blood onto his chest.  “You punch….like a kobold…. A drunken one.”“Tozark…. Her fingers if you please.”The young cleric steps up and grabs her forearm.“Happy?  Do you feel like a man…. Or is this your greatest desire… to become the….(wheezes as she catches her breath) …new master of the valley.  To beat on him?”  She allows her entire body to morph to look like the giant but trapped at 6 feet tall.“I have been given a gift today.  Thankyou.” And the young giant snaps back three fingers.“Ahhhhh… You are… evil…. You will be erased from the world….”The thumb is twisted back onto itself.  “Arrrrgh!”She had hoped for Kim or someone to have survived and come to her rescue.  So be it.  “Mother… I love you and soon… I will join you.”The giants spend another twenty minutes on her.  Breaking her, violating her…. Disrespecting her.The giants begin to turn away when there is a deafening roar of sheer anger.  More snow rolls off the mountains nearby.    The giants stop in their tracks and look up.   Fear on their faces.High above them, above the influence of the orb’s anti-magic aura…. Is the incredibly horrific and angry face of a dwarf.   A very angry dwarf.“YOU HAVE DECIDED YOUR FATE!  NOW YOU WILL ALL DIE!”</blockquote>
