The crushing weight of the creature's petrifying gaze falls upon Rawr and Otthor and soon their feet feel as though they're stuck in imperceptible quicksand.In the midst of the bloodshed, Otthor suddenly flashes back to World's End Bluff, to Averandox's glacier and to the battle with the Blood Queen.  Deranged whispers and ghastly images from the void assault his senses, causing his mind to reel with vertigo as he attempts to defend himself against the giants' mighty blows.  The one he sent into the drink climbs out and looms massively above him, intent on revenge...</blockquote>
