On the continent of Vratan, humans have always lived in fear of the man-eating giants to the south. Human settlements along the border are routinely raided by opportunistic giants, and many simply accept the danger as a fact of life. However, things have been getting worse. No longer able to support their growing population, the giants are on the brink of devistating famine. For many of them, the answer can be found in the north, and in the plentiful humans that live there.
Mary is one of those humans. Since the death of her father, she's been on a violent march to the east. Seeking revenge against the giantess that murdered him.
Meanwhile, Eloise is a giantess, skilled in magic and desperately seeking a breakthrough in transmutation that could deliver her people from famine and into a new age.
If they can learn to work together, they can save both of their peoples. But things aren't ever that simple, are they?

Welcome back! Welcome to the 4th chapter. This chapter came to me in a half-lucid fever dream at 11am, and really solidified a lot of the characters' key traits for me. So I wanted to really make sure it lived up to that. I hope it lives up to both my and your expectations!

Dear god, I am so sorry this took so long.
Between starting school again, and generally being busy, this one took ages. But it's done! And very sad (sorry in advance for this one).
A big thank you once again to Velasco for helping me proofread this one. Without another set of eyes on the draft, I always miss the dumbest things xD
