Please don't let this thread derail into anything. The awesomeness is beyond description!
All we need now is a Tarutaru whm named Grigori-Tigori casting divine spells on them while yelling "Rest, my childy-wild!" and "You meant no harmy-warm!" while cackling madly.
Anyway, neat story!

Problem is, I think I'll hit a character limit sooner or later. I will try and fit as much as possible with links to the next part of the story as I go, so you just got click 'em all.
Day 12 - Early Morning: I had heard rumors that the Gigases came from a faraway land on massive boats, but I did not quite believe it until they led me through a swarm of Turned and down a mountain path to the beach where the Sea of Shu'Meyo met Qufim. There were a few enormous boats in the sand, each at least four times the size of the ferry between Selbina and Mhaura. I was taken aboard and we sailed to a strip of land just off the coast of Qufim. I suppose that the Gigases understood the dangers of The Turned and got the hell out of there when they could.
They led me to a particularly ugly Gigas with a crude iron helmet on his head that sat on a strangely articulate chair made of timber. Attending him was a particularly small Gigas, seemingly a runt. I handed the uglier one the pelt that I had been given, unsure of what else to do.
At this point, the runt shocked me by speaking in more than half formed grunts.
"Adventurers and Gigas once enemies. Flesh-monsters not adventurers. Not taste like, not scream like, not smell like. Flesh-monsters kill many Gigas to eat. Why? Gigas eat flesh-monster, Gigas die; Gigas eat Gigas."
I was a bit stunned, but managed to answer to the best of my ability that we had no idea what was going on. The runt relayed that to the ugly one, who said something in Gigan.
"Adventurer and flesh-monsters enemy. Gigas and flesh-monster enemy. Gigas afraid."
I simply replied, "Adventurers afraid, too. Adventurers run, hide, no win fight. Want hide in Tower. Make Tower safe."
The runt relayed that, and then relayed a message that could possibly have changed the course of our history as we knew it:
"Adventure, Gigas, friend. Tower for adventurer, tower for Gigas. No eat adventurer, no kill Gigas."
"No eat adventurer, no kill Gigas," I said. Perhaps this whole ordeal with The Turned had opened my mind a bit and jaded it, but this hardly seemed surreal to me.
It seems like the Gigases understand that we could be wiped out and that they would soon be overwhelmed.
I guess it's time to put the history of the war 20 years back behind us and figure out what the hell is going on now. All I know is that I'm on the path back to Qufim and this time I've got a fleet of Gigases following me.
I have a vague feeling Alyria is going to hate me for this. I'm more than a bit afraid of her gun.

Day 12 - Midday: We arrived back at Qufim to notice that there was an eerie lack of Turned on the shore and the sounds of battle not far off. A small battalion of Gigas had now started to fill the shore, amongst them was the Runt. I spoke to the Runt and told him that I would leave now to find my own people.
The Runt, despite being a runt, seemed to be in a position of social power. He was able to tell a few other Gigas to accompany me for protection and for assistance.
So there I was, marching through Qufim Island, with four armored Gigases, looking for my Unit. I followed the ruckus to the pond and saw that they had been bottlenecking a group of the Turned by blocking off all but one path with rocks--I could only presume that Dasva had seen to that part--and had been killing The Turned as they slowly blocked themselves into that one path.
The Gigases and I cut through the Turned from behind. I was right: Alyria was pissed. She actually smacked me across the face for being a weak, overly empathetic person and said there was no room for people like me in her unit.
I gritted my teeth, but simply said, "We'll be sharing Delkfutt with our friends; we're in this one together."
She sighed and simply started walking away with the rest of the unit. I followed, and we killed more of the Turned. At least the Gigases are good company. They don't talk back, they just kind of grunt, laugh, and like to fight stuff.
