In the year of 1942, the HMS Cunard is transporting U.S. soldiers form New York City to the Middle East to help fight against Nazi Germany and their allies. Things looked like smooth sailing until a few days later. A hurricane caught the Cunard and took the ship off course into sinking it. Many have died except for a U.S Army soilder and British sailor who survived by getting in the lifeboat. To stay alive they headed to an uncharted island in the hopes to rest there after what happened. Once there, they pulled the boat to shore.
"So what do we do?" the sailor asked.
"I don't know." the soldier said. "If anything, we have to make camp here for the night."
"But how?" the sailor asked.
"We're going to try." the soldier said. "Everyone else on the Cunard died, but we're still alive. The only thing we have to do for them is to stay alive."
As they build their camp to sleep in, the men bonded with each other. No matter what happens they had to learn to rely on each other as friends. Then they went to sleep fo the night. As they slept, the tiny females were gathering flowers from one of the towering trees to take back to their town. Suddenly, they noticed a giant camp. They looked very curious about the whole thing and investigated it. Before long, they saw two figures sleeping, with some of their clothes off. Their shoes were stacked neatly in rows. Eventually, as the females got closer, they noticed the men's size increased. The realization set in for them, these men were giants. Precisely, 200 feet tall and this isn't good for them at all as they remembered what happened over 200 years ago when the last giant attacked them.
"Oh No." one of the females said, in Talionese. "Those are giants."
"Yes." another female said, in Talionese. "What do we do?"
"Warn our emperor" the third female said, in Talionese.
The females ran off before they even got a chance to men wake up. They grabbed their gathered flowers and decided not to tell anyone about the whole thing. The way it looked they could try to make them believe that the giant men were alone. They weren't going to risk having the emperor use his army on the giant men.
"We're the only ones who know about this." the first female said. "We can't take this risk."
"It's better if the emperor knows." the second female said. "We could have a chance to drive them out."
The next couple of days went ok for the tiny females as they spied on the giant men without being caught. They looked very confused about the whole thing. No one knew about the giants on Talion Bei. They didn't want to tell anyone about this. It was in their own minds that they are afraid of two reasons. The first reason is that they'll be a laughing stock of their country and the townsfolks will tell them that it's all in their head as mirages. The second reason is that even if they believe them, the emperor will use brute force to get rid of the giants before the investigation will happen. Then one day, the females headed out to the towering trees called Marchel to gather flowers for the annual festival.
"Mataral." The first lfemale spoke in, Talionese. "Does your husband know about this?"
"No, Marche." Mataral said, in Talionese. "My niece, Quetrina does though. I had to take her with me to keep my secret."
Quetrina looked over to her aunt as she gathered flowers for the festival and wanted to use a few of them to lay at her parents graves. She hasn't forgotten the horror and sadness she felt when she heard her parents died at sea. To take her mind off the whole thing she leaves her basket of flowers at the gate and went with a couple of her friends to check out the giant men. As the older females retruened to the town with their stuff. They wanted to see what they're doing and made sure they weren't seen by either one. It could really scare their loved ones especially when they're the ones taking the risk.
"Quetrina." one of her friends said, in Talionese. "Are you sure it's safe?"
"We'll be fine, Salisa." Quetrina said in Talionese. "Besides Kelita and the others are keeping watch for our relatives."
They spied on the men from a safe distance. It was exactly what her aunt, Mataral had described the giants when she saw them the night they arrived here. One of them was a sailor and the other was an army soldier. She wanted to tell the emperor about the whole thing, but feels it would betray her aunt's trust in her. The men were comfortable around each other as they fished for food and talked about their family life in a different language. Quetrina and her friends thought it was safe to move closer to them as the giant men fished. Suddenly, one of them turned his head to notice them coming closer. He tapped to his soldier comrade about what he saw.
"I'll look at it." the soldier said
This made her and her friends stop immediately as the giant soldier looked over at them. Panic struck at Quetrina and her friends immedately as they turned around in an attempt to out run the giants to warn their people of a possible giant attack from both.
"We better follow them." the sailor said. "They could tell us where we are and hopefully help us out."
"That's true." The soldier said.
The men got up from the spot on the sand and followed them. Judging from their strides and the ground trembling, the men easily caught up with them. Then the sailor scooped up a few of Quetrina's friends into his hand. The soldier took her and her remaining friends into his hand. Both slowly and genty lifted them closer to their faces to get a better look at the females. Once on the massive palm of the giant men's hands, Quetrina and her friends had a right to be scared for their lives. They thought these giants will quickly put an end to their lives once and awaited for their deaths. To their surprise, the men didn't try to hurt them, but looked at their tiny frame curiously. Both men had blue eyes, dark hair and were indeed handsome.
"Ladies, what's wrong?" the soldier asked. "We mean you no harm. We're just curious where we are."
"Can you help us please?" The sailor asked.

Quetrina and a few of her friends looked up at both of the giant sailor and soldier and nodded their heads. Despite the fact the men were giants, they were kind to ask them where they are. They told the men that they're on the island of Talion Bei. The men headed towards the gates as they gently held the females in their hands. The guards looked up at the men and prepared to raise their weapons at them just in case of hostility.
"Don't fire." Quetrina said, in Talionese.
The guards looked up at the giant men as they securely held her and her friends in their hands. They think that these giants have taken the females hostage and They think that these giants have taken the females hostage and thinks they will do something barbaric to them without regret. They ended up firing at the giants immediately to protect their country against them.
"Nooooo." Quetrina and her friends screamed.
The guards were firing at the giant men without demanding them to let the captive females go. This shows how stupid the guards can be. Unforutnately for them, the bullets weren't even sticking to the men. It was bouncing off of their clothes and shoes. The guards finally realized that it wasn't even working and they saw the emperor there, staring at them unamused.
"What do you think you're doing?" the Emperor shouted in, Talionese.
"My lord, forgive us." one of the guard said in Talionese. "We have two giants here. One of them is a soldier and the other one is a sailor. They're both holding a few females captive."
"Then why didn't you ask them to release them?" The emperor said, in Talionese.
The guards gulped as they realized that it was something they never took into account and was a terible mistake for them to make. Quetrina and her friends sighed with relief for a minute or two before the emperor turns his attention to the giant men and asks them to kneel down. The men complied to the emperor's demands and slowly, but gently knelt down to his level without letting her and her friends fall.
"Release them now." the emperor said, in Talionese.
"Sure." The soldier said in his gentle, but booming voice.
They lowered their hands to the ground and Quetrina and her friends walked out of their hand without incident. Once, it was over, the emperor turned to face the giant men. He wasn't sure if these men would hurt them or nor after the last giant incident 200 years ago.
"Please sir." The sailor said. "We mean you and your people no harm. We'll even protect you just in case something bad happens."
The guard raised his gun and fired at the sailor in the hope he could hit his eye and blind him. Quetrina ran towards where the guard fired and the bullet hit her arm instead. The sailor gasped as he saw the tiny female take the shot for him. The emperor saw this and ordered one of his other guards to imprison the offending guard in the dungeon.
"Miss." the sailor said. "Are you ok?"
Quetrina nodded her head and held her hand to her arm to cover the bullet wound. Her friends were shocked by the wole thing as the emperor nodded his head to let the giant men stay on the island, but not on the camp ground they made. The men nodded their heads as Quetrina's friends took her to a nearby hospital top have the bullet wound removed. She had the bullet wound cleaned, put with antiboitics and stiched up. She won't be able to use her arm for a few weeks, but she was ok with it. While most of her friends went home, Salisa and Quetrina remained.
"Are you going to be ok?" Salisa asked, in Talionese.
"I'll be fine." Quetrina said, in Talionese.
They headed up to the house where the giant sailor and soldier were indeed staying. Many people headed off to their houses to go to bed for the night. The giant men gently took them into their hands and walked into their house. The sailor looked over at Quetrina as he gently held her in his hand.
"Miss." the sailor said. "Are you ok? Did it hurt?"
"I'm fine." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "It did hurt when I took the bullet. Other than that I'm fine. By the way, my name is Quetrina Monayar. What is your's?"
"Michael Hayes." The sailor said, in english.
Salisa looked over at the giant soldier with fear in her eyes as Quetrina continued to bond with the sailor named Michael. She could tell her friend was still nervous about the whole thing with giant soldier. Even he knew that and held her gently to his face with a sweet smile.
"I'm a giant to you and your people." the soldier said. "But you don't haveto be afraid of me anymore.
This time Salisa complied to calm down if it pleases him. She got over her fears of the soldier and got to know him too. She kept letting her fears control her and it wwas no good for her to do so Michael turns to Quetrina who was very comfortable sitting in his palm. She stands up on his hand and looks up at his big blue eyes. They were indeed beautiful.
"Is your friend still nervous towards David?" he asked.
"Yes." Quetrina said, in Talionese, but with a few broken english. "Salisa takes a lot longer to calm down. She's still scared from earlier on, Michael. I've completely clamed down when you said you wouldn't hurt our people."
"Do you speak english?" he asked.
"I only speak a little bit of it." Quetrina said. "I mainly speak in my native language, which is Talionese."
Michael nodded his head as he carried her to the couch and lied down on it with her on his bare chest. Quetrina blushed at him immediately and tried to rub it off before he sees it. It didn't take him long to see her trying to rub off the blush and chuckled to himself. She looked at him laughing and felt very offended by that. She wished he was at her size so she could pound him for doing so. Apparently, he was a giant so she couldn't do much about it. He knew it too and apologized for the laughing.
"I'm not laughing at you, Quetrina." Michael said. "I was laughing at the little blush that came out. I find it rather cute of you to do so. I'm real sorry about it."
"That's fine." Quetrina said. "Just please don't do it again."
"I won't." he said.

David gently tapped his shoulders as he realised that it was time for bed, but there was no place for their new friends to sleep in. Michael opted for them sharing a bed, but Quetrina and Salisa can sleep on the pillows next to them. The two looked at both men as Michael got up from the couch and headed towards his bedroom to make the bed arraignments for Quetrina. He knew that she might feel a bit uncormfortable to share a bed with a giant, but he just couldn't let her sleep on the floor.
"I don't want you on the floor." Michael said.
"I know." Quetrina said. "Our only concern is that you and David might roll over in your sleep and crush us without warning."
"We won't." he said.
David took Salisa into his room to have her sleep next to him for the night and Quetrina with Michael. As she headed off to bed, he headed into the bathroom to shower. She didn't much of a choice as she had to take him into the city to show him around. Quetrina want him and David to look presentable when they patrol the country. They have to make sure that they don't crush anyone or anything below them. Michael came back from the shower and slept next to me in his pajama pants. He smells like coconut and banana and she'll have my bath in the morning. Quetrina got up from her side of the bed and curled up next to his neck. He didn't seem to notice and slept.
"Such a sweet man." Quetrina said, in Talionese.
****************************************
Meanwhile in David's bedrooom, Salisa looked at a picture of her daughter, Joiva as she stayed with her grandparents wondering where her mother was. She felt guilty for not calling her earlier and made a mental note to apologize to her in the morning. Her husband died in the war against Lilipucsu another island country around her size. She tired to put Joiva's picture away, but David saw her looking at it.
"I saw that." he said. "Do you have a child?"
"Yes." Salisa said, in Talionese. "Her name is Joiva and she's my daughter from my first marriage to Farigor. He died in the war before he got a chance to see her grow up. I'm raising her on my own."
"I'm sorry." he said. "Was it hard for you to raise her?"
"All the time." Salisa said. "You probably wouldn't......."
"I'd like to meet your family." David said. "You daughter could use a new father."
Salisa nodded her head as she felt him scoop her up into his hand to hug her. He told her about his family and friends back in the United States, mainly Seattle. She found out that David has been unmarried, but he likes to have a family to call his own. He was real sweet about that and she's never had that since Farigor died. She smiled as he continued to hug her on his chest. She felt him break up the hug and gently set her down on the bed to go to sleep. Salisa and David went to sleep for the night. Through out the night, she didn't feel as uncomfortable sleeping next to him and hugged him. More like his huge finger due to his gigantic size. She looked up at him as he smiled in his sleep. She curled up next to him and slept peacefully. I bet Quet is feeling a lot more comfortable with Michael. Salisa thought as she slept. David noticed her curled up body, next to him and kissed her tiny frame.
"David." Salisa said. "I'm wet."
"Sorry. "David said, waking up.
He helped dry her up from his kiss and went back to bed. Salisa will have to bathe with her friend in the morning before they bring both David and Michael into the town. She was worried about their new giant friends and for a good reason as they didn't want anyone in their family to think they were monsters who have intentions to inflict harm.
"What do I do?" she asked herself.
She and Quetrina knew for a fact that both David and Michael has no intentions to hurt then and are willing to protect Talion Bei from invaders in other islands. She can only hope that their families like them and trust them without having the assumption of them crushing them. Although, they won't blame them for feeling that way.
*****************************
Quetrina felt Michael nuzzle her in his sleep. He was trying hard not to wake her up, but she felt that he wasn't doing a good job of it. She decided to kiss him on his lips on that. She felt him return the kiss to her and smiled at her.
"Sweet." she said.
They went back to bed soon after the whole thing. It was a real sweet moment in her life, especially the traumatic events that lead to her parents deaths at sea. She hadn't been on the boat with them, but hearing the heartbreaking news of their death numbed her since childhood. She felt like no one understood what she really went through after all those years.
"Mama, Papa." Quetrina said, in Talionese.
Michael woke up to see his tiny friend feeling distressed about her parents. He got up and scooped her to his hand. Then he hugged her about the whoole thing and looked down at her tiny frame as she tried to hug him back.
"Would it make you feel better if you told me what's wrong?" Michael asked.
"Well there's nothing wrong." Quetrina said.
She looked up at him and probably knew that he could tell that she was lying about the whole thing. She told him what bothered her the most about the whole thing. She had heard the terrible news that her parents died at sea and she felt numbed about it. She lived with her uncle's family in order to keep her siblings from being seperated from her. Even though she did come to terms with their deaths, it was still hard for her to not have them see her and her siblings grow up.
"I'm sorry about what happened." Michael said. "My parents died at sea too, Quetrina. I lived with my grandfather in Newcastle Upon Tyne. I was born and raised in Southhampton before their deaths. I was an only child and my uncle was deemed unreliable and irresponsible to raise me."
"Was it hard for you to come to terms with their deaths?" she asked.
"All the time." Michael said. "I won't lie about it."
"I know." Quetrina said. "It's just hard to tell people what's on my mind. I get afraid of being hurt or ridiculed."
Michael continued hugging her on his chest. He was real sweet to her and she appreciates that so much from him. Eventually they went back to bed. She felt so comfortable around and curled up next to him.
"Cute." Michael said.
He kisses her and continued sleeping next to her. By the next morning, Quetrina woke up before Michael did and looked at him. Despite his hulking, gigantic frame, he was sweet and looked very innocent sleeping there. She took a flight of ladders up to a tiny house to shower quickly.
"I need to get this one done." she said. "He's real sweet to us and I'm sure my relatives will like him."
She needed to take one before he awakens. She headed inside immedately and took a quick shower. Once she was done, she grabbed some clothes from a closet and got dressed in them. Then she headed out of the tiny house in a sundress. She wasn't aware that her friend awakened from his sleep.
"Quet?" Michael asked.
"Michael." Quetrina said. "I'm real sorry about this and....."
Michael gently scooped her into his hand and hugged her. Quetrina blushed as she realized that he just wants her to tell him next time so he won't worry about anything. She nodded her head and looked up at him.
"Do you want to meet my relatives?" she asked.
"I would like to." Michael said. "But I need to wait for some new clothes to arrive for me."
**************************************
Salisa has awakened a bit later than expected as she looked over to see that David isn't around. She got scared immedately about the whole thing, despite the fact that Quetrina and Michael were around. He later returned to the room with Joiva in his hand. To David's perspective, she was only an inch tall to him. Despite that, he found her very adorable and held her gently in his hand.
"David, what happened?" Salisa asked.
"Some men were trying to harrass her." he said. "They didn't get far with me."
"Thank you." Salisa said. "Can I please hold my daughter?"
"I got a better idea." David said.
"What is it?" Salisa asked.
She didn't have to ask as he lowered his hand next to her and motioned for her to climb in. She climbed into the same hand, Joiva was on and lifted them gently to his face. With them safely in his hand, he gently stands up and leaves the room.
"Why did you leave your grandmother?" Salisa asked.
"I wanted to find you, mama." Joiva said. "Some men wanted to do something to me. Then David saved my life. He almost looked like daddy."
"I know." she said. "But still you know better and will you not do it again."
She nodded her head as they arrived in the bathroom. Next, he gently sets them on the sink. Next, he ran a mix of warm and cold water for them to have their baths in. When it was filled to the specific length, he used his fingernails and scrapped small pieces of soap for them to use. Finally, he took off his camoflauge uniform that he wore when he first arrived with Michael.
"I'll take a bath soon." David said.
"I know." Salisa said. "But Joiva wanted to tell you something."
************************************
Michael felt Quetrina snuggle his chest as he heard a knock outside the door. He walked out of the room with her in his hand to open the door. It was probably the clothes that they promised them for their time here. During that time, she stopped snuggling him and looked at the door.
"What is it, Michael?" Quetrina asked.
"We'll find out soon, Quet." Michael said.
He opens the door to see the guards standing there with a bunch of giant clothes for him and David to wear. They mentioned that a meal will arrive here soon. After that, they left and Michael took the clothes in.
"Are those the clothes for you and David to wear?" Quetrina asked.
"They sure are." Michael said.
He gently set his tiny friend down on the table with the clothes. She couldn't believe that it was their size and not hers. She didn't question how though because that was the government's secret never to tell. Anyway, she was glad that Michael took the clothes and got dressed in them. She wanted him to look good when he met her relatives.
"Are they going to be nervous though?" Michael asked.
"They will be due to your size." Quetrina said. "But they will calm down in knowing that you don't mean any harm towards them."
He nodded as he finished up getting dressed in the clothes the government gave him. He took the other clothes into David's room so he can get dressed in them. Then he gently scooped her back into his hand and left the house. He wanted to meet her relatives right away.

"Where does your relatives live anyway?" he asked
"They live farther away from here." Quetrina said. "They live in a quiet rural town away from the city."
Michael nodded and headed inland to where Quetrina's relatives live. By car, it would've taken her at least six hours to get there. Buses were indeed worse for her due to the constant stopping to let people out. With her giant friend, he reached there much qucker without stopping. Her relatives' neighbors were quite in shock that a giant could arrive here without doing any harm to them, their animals or their properties. He walked more carefully to ensure that he doesn't crush someone. He noticed a horse, much smaller than the ones he was used to in England and gently knelt down to pet it with his finger. The horse tried to run away from the huge finger, but it wasn't fast enough.
"Don't hurt her please." Quetrina said.
"I won't do so, Quet." Michael said in his gentle, but booming voice.
His voice made the horse nervous, but he wasn't going to let that happen. He proceeded to pet the mare with his finger. The horse neighed in content and relaxed soon enough. She was amazed how gentle, Michael is in petting the horse without crushing her. Her aunt, Mataral, had seen him gently pet the horse too and headed outside.
"Quetrina Monayar." Mataral said. "Where were you and why......"
Whatever she was going to say was going to be distracted when she looked up at the giant Michael. She looked up at his massive form and was nervous right away from where she stood. She prayed to the God of the North known as Dabe to protect her from him. Quetrina thought she was just being ridiculous as usual. In this case, she does understand why she's afraid for her life. She thought he was going to hurt her and was afraid of being crushed and eaten by him. She knows for a fact that he doesn't plan to do any of that.
"Auncha." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "He's not a monster. He....."
"Miss." Michael said. "I mean you no harm. I'm big to your people, but I never harmed anyone. Please trust me"
He gently stops petting the horse and scoops up her aunt onto the same hand which he is holding Quetrina. Mataral was nervous about the whole thing as he gently held them in his hand. She started to calm down when she looked up at his big blue eyes. They were filled with a gentle and tender appearance to them, unlike other giants who had the look of malevolence.
"So, ummm...." Was all Mataral said.
"Auncha." Quetrina said.
***************************************
Salisa and Joiva enjoyed their bath as David took his shower. They had to look nice when she introduced him to her family. It wouldn't be respectful if he just went out there not up to their standards.
"I hope this works out." Joiva said, in Talionese.
"I hope so too, Joiva." Salisa said.
***************************************
"Who are you?" Mataral said. "Where are you from?"
"My name is Michael." he said. "I am from England. It's a country that has people my size. You must be Quetrina's aunt. She's told me a lot of things about you."
Mataral blushed at that comment and Quetrina smirked. It was a good sign that she wasn't as nervous as she was the first time. Hopefully her uncle and her siblings can be a lot easier to convince.
"So, Michael?" Mataral said. "How did you and Quetrina meet."
"Auncha." Quetrina said.
She felt that her aunt should've known how they met especially when she took the bullet for him. Michael chuckled as he told her about how he and David caught Quetrina and her friends spying on them yesterday, while they were fishing. After that, they had to deal with the situation with the guards.
"One of them tried to shoot me in the eye." he said. "Then Quet took the shot meaning for me. And....."
Mataral looked at Michael and then at her niece again. Quetrina rolled up her sleeve to reveal a bullet wound on her right shoulder. She nodded her head and rolled her sleeve down. Mataral realized that she took the shot because of the guard's quick response to try blinding her friend. He and David didn't seem very malevolent at all. She looked over at the animals as he gently petted them with his finger.
"You are nice." she said. "I would like....."
"Quetrina, Mataral." a male's voice said.
"Unchen." Quetrina said.
The male stopped walking and looked up at Michael's 200 ft tall frame. He got scared for his wife and niece. He saw him holding them in his hand. Mataral and Quetrina looked at each other and had to convince Kivon that Michael means no harm to them.
**************************************
David gently scooped Salisa and Joiva into his hand from their bath and drained the sink from it's water. They left the bathroom and got dressed right away. They didn't look up as he got dressed in the new clothes the governemt got for him and Michael. She wondered where he and Quetrina went off to today. They looked up to see David fully dressed.
"Salisa." he said.
"Yes." Salisa said. "Where are they?"
"Michael left for his friend's hometown." he said. "He told me, they were going to see her relatives."
"I see." Salisa said.
"Mama." Joiva said, in Talionese. "Don't you think that we should get ours to meet him."
"Yes." Salisa said, in Talionese. "They could be very nervous about the whole thing. I suppose we need to try though."
They both nodded their heads as David gently scooped them into his hand. They were tiny to him, but he can see they looked real good in the clothes he picked out for them. He felt proud to see them like this, like a father to them. He gently held them in place as he stood up to his full height and slowly walked out of his room. Then they left the house to meet her relatives.
"Will they be nervous about me?" David asked.
"I think so." Salisa said. "But I hope they like you."
"Mama." Joiva said. "I think they'll like him. He's a giant, but a good one. He'd make a good step-father to me."
Salisa blushed as David walked on to meet her family. She looked up at at and noticed him blushing too. She wants to see how much he can impress her family before she can even consider being with him.
*************************************
Kivon looked very scared and upset as he saw his wife and niece sitting in the palm of giant Michael's hand. This may look like a long day for Quetrina. He knows how apprehensive the uncle will be towards him. At the same time, he wants to let the tiny man know that he hasn't hurt anyone below then and will never do so. He gently lowered his hand down to let both Mataral and Quetrina out. Once on the ground he turned to face them.
"Quetrina." Kivon called out. "What are you and Mataral doing...."
"Unchen" Quetrina said. "This is my friend, Michael."
"Quetrina." Kivon said. "That is a giant."
"I know that." Quetrina said. "But he's not like the last one."
"You can trust him, Kivon." Mataral said.
"Well...." was all he said
Michael gently looked down at the man and scooped him into his hand without incident. Kivon looked very fearful of the whole thing and thinks he could be eaten alive by him. To his surprise, it didn't even happen as he looked up at Michael's blue eyes. He could tell that he was curious about him and wanted to examine him further without hurting him.
"Easy." Michael said, finally. "I won't hurt you. I didnt hurt your wife and Quet. I am a giant to you, but hurting others tiner than me is too barbaric to me. I sincerely hoope you can trust me soon."
Kivon nodded his head as he looked up at his gentle blue eyes. He was being very sincere about the whole thing and began to completely trust him in not hurting him and his family.
"Where did you come from?" Kivon asked. "And are you alone?"
*********************************
Salisa looked up as David stopped in front of her house. She and Joiva never told him where they lived and somehow he knew about the whole thing. They probably guessed that her relatives were worried and asked him to help them find them.
"Salisa, Joiva." she heard her mother call.
"Mamar." Salisa said. "I'm sorry for not coming home last night. I know you......."
She felt him gently lower himself to her family so they don't have a terrible time of craining their necks to talk to him. He's being such a gentleman in thinking about others Salisa thought as she slid off his hand. Then, she looked up to see Joiva wrap her arms around his chin and hugged him.
"So cute and sweet." David said.
He felt her let go of his chin and remained in his palm. Then he planted a small kiss Joiva's face. He knows that she could use a father figure since her own father died. He broke his kiss to her and she gently climbed off his hand.
*******************************
"I am from England." Michael said. "And no, I'm not alone. I have a friend around my size. But he's an American."
"I see." Kivon said "How long have you guys been here?"
"Since two days ago." Michael said.
Quetrina was relieved that her uncle was completely trusting Michael without the fear of him being hurt in the manner that he doesn't like. As the men talked, she turned around to see a bunch of their neighbors' kids looking up at him. They didn't seem to be afraid of him at all.
"There go the neighboring kids." Mataral said.
"I bet that they're just curious to see him." Quetrina said.
"I know." Mataral said. "I just feel a little uneasy because they should be nervous with our country having giants here."
"I agree." Quetrina said. "But I know they aren't because they know he won't hurt them."
*********************************
Salisa and her parents saw Joiva slide off David's hand without problems. When she hugged her daughter, she noticed her wet. It was clear that he has kissed her while she was on his hand. He was very sweet to her, but he also needs to be careful of the fact his lips were a bit wet. She needs to make a mental note to him to be careful with his kisses. Her parents took Joiva in their house to get her cleaned up and dried from his kiss.
"Umm, David." Salisa said.
"Yes." David said.
"Well, about the kiss you gave to my daughter." Salisa said. "Can you try to be careful in not getting her wet? You got her wet by accident."
David blushed as he saw her parents taking Joiva to the bathroom. He saw the small girl smile in front of him before she went into the bathroom.
"Sorry. " David said. "I guess you and her aren't used to wet giant kisses"
"I don't mean it in a bad way." Salisa said.
"I know." David said.
He knew it too, that at their size he needs to be careful of when it comes to his kisses. She climbed into his hand immediately and relaxed. She climbed into his hand immediately and relaxed. Then she felt David gently get up from the ground and face her tiny, black frame. Still he gently held Salisa in his hand without hurting her nor anyone else.
"You really like spending time with my daughter." Salisa said.
"I do." David said. "She's real adorable."
"Thank you." she said.
As she wanted to say something, she felt him move again. This time she felt him return to the giant house where there was food waiting for them to eat. As much as they were hungry, they wanted to wait untl Michael and Quetrina returned from her relatives.
"Looks tempting." Salisa said.
*************************************
Michael didn't look too nervous to see the kids looking up at him in a curious manner. As much as he wanted to just scoop them into his hands, he didn't want to give out the wrong message. Then he saw a couple of guards coming toward the farms. They ordered him to return to the house at once for food.
"We better go, Quet." Michael said.
"Ok." she said.
He gently scooped her into his hand and headed back to the house to eat. Michael has reached the city limits when he noticed a tiny girl being bullied by one of the boys. It increased his anger to full folds and he crept towards them. He was furious on how these boys treated her and tought them a lesson they wouldn't forget. He used his huge hand and blocked the boys from hurting her some more. They finally got the clue and ran off.
"That's right." Michael said. "Try it again and you'll find out what happens."
"Michael." Quetrina said. "They're only children."
"I know. "he said. "But those who needs more discipline."
He turns to the little girl and gently smiles at her. Right away she gets nervous about the whole thinking that giants eat people in contact. It didn't phase him all that much and kept his gentle face towards her.
"Little miss. "Michael said. "I mean you no harm.I am a giant, but I'm not a monster."
The child eventually calmed down and climbed into his hand without problems after noticing that Quetrina trusted him. He gently raised them to his face and stood up to his full frame.
"Are you ok. little miss?" Michael said.
"I am." she said. "Thank you."
She looked nervous as she stared at the abandoned house. She could well be homeless. She wasn't sure though and faced the child.
"Are there more of you?" Quetrina asked.
The child nodded her head as her siblings came out of the abandoned house. It turns out that they were homeless after their parents died in an accident. She was the oldest and she worked in the factory mills to keep what is left of her family together. Both he and Quetrina felt bad for the kids and decided to take them into the giant house. His room has a tiny house built for riches and they can stay there. He puts them in his right pocket and scoops up her siblings and puts them in the same way. Then he made sure nothing was left and crushed the house with his left foot. After that he walked back to the house where David and Salisa waited. He gently sets Quetrina down on the table and walks away.
"Where are you going?" David asked.
"He's going to to the bathroom." Quetrina said. "He wants to clean them up."
"Are they dirty?" Salisa asked.
"They worked in the factories." Quetrina said. "They also have no running water where they were living. They're homeless."
"I really feel bad for them." Salisa said. "Is there anything we could do for them?"
"We need to make them feel comfortable." David said. "Their parents are probably dead."
"We need to ask them though." Salisa said.
"Not right now." Quetrina said. "Just give them a chance to settle down here."
As Michael finished cleaning them up thoroughly, a few servants cut their hairs short to get rid of the mats stuck to their hair before getting them dressed up. He wants them to look nice though when he brings them to the table to meet his friends. He knows they could get nervous around David, but he can reassure them that he means no harm to them.
"Are you the only giant here?" one of the kids askked.
"No." Michael said. "I arrived here with another man."
"There are two of you." another child said.
"Yes." Michael said. "You'll met him soon."

He lowered his hand next to the kids and let them climb into his hand. Once sitting in his palm, Michael gently lifted them to his chest and walked into the kitchen.
"Here he comes now." David said.
Michael slowly and gently lowered his hand and let the kids off on the table. Almost immediately they were nervous around David, because of his hulking appearance. Quetrina and Salisa wanted to come over to them, but he held his hand next to them. They still looked nervous, unlike his friend's daughter, Joiva. She wasn't very nervous when he met and rescued her from those men.
"Don't worry little ones." David said. "I won't hurt you. You can trust me."
As soon as they saw David's hand was on the table, motioning for the orphans to climb it, most of them them ran off in fear of him. They thought they were going to get eaten by him and hid behind the plates. One though didn't hide from him and walked into his hand without problems. The youngest was a girl around 4 years old and she was the smallest. She probably didn't think of him as a monster, but a big daddy. Noticing how cute she was, David gently lowers his finger and pets her with it.
"How cute." He said with his gentle, but booming voice. "Do you have a name?"
"Liva." the small girl said, sitting in betwen his fingers.
The other orphans look over as they saw their youngest sister in David's palm without being hurt. Maybe he was like his friend, Michael and not some kind of evil giant. Quetrina talked to the older four about David in her native tongue. The eldest was Dialla and she recounted the story about her parents teaching them about how giants were evil. The next eldest were the twins Alabar and Niera, followed by Zhabor being only seven.
"We were always taught giants were evil." Dialla said. "We didn't want to be eaten alive."
"Not every giant is evil." Quetrina said. "Look over at Michael and David. They're not evil giants and eating people disgusts them. You didn't get hurt when held you in his hand. David isn not a monster."
"Just give David a chance." Michael said. "He won't hurt you."
"His height makes us nervous." Niera said.
"I know." Quetrina said. "But he's a nice guy."
"Ok." Alabar said. "We'll try not to judge him."
"We'll try." Dialla said.
"Please do." Salisa said. "My daughter wasn't nervous around David."
The kids look over at them for a few minutes. They finally turned their attention to David and climbed into his hand without problems. They even got to know him without judging him as an evil giant. Liva had already trusted him without hurting her so they had no reason to be afraid of them.
"I know, I'm a bit bigger than you." David said. "I mean you no harm."
"We now know." Dialla said. "You sort of scared us because of your height."
"I won't hurt anyone." David said. "It's too barbaric."
"Thank you." Zhabor said.
Soon after they ate their lunch. It was a nice filling meal for the kids who had to live off of fast food and water. Eventually, Michael and David took the kids into the house. Quetrina and Salisa went with them before their giant friends left. They wanted to do other things to help out their country and headed towards the port. They can try to help anyone here with the fishing.
"Is there anything we can do to help?" Michael asked.
"Not right now." the fisherman said. "We'll let you know though."
"Let us know soo......." was all David said.
The panic started to erupt when the people there heard heavy footsteps coming towards the guard gate. They headed into the safety of their homes as David and Michael headed towards where the footsteps were coming from. It was another giant on his way here. He looked very malevolent and angry. His hair was blonde and his eyes hazel.
"Just what do you think you're doing?" Michael said.
"As I want." The male said. "These things stole from me and they're going to pay."
"No, they won't." David said. "You'll have to deal with us right now."
"Don't threaten me." the giant said.
"Try us." Michael said.
Proven true with the threat, David lunged at the unknown giant away from the country and onto the beach. Michael kept the gates blocked from being crushed down. Daivd wanted to keep the fight away from the inhabitants because of another attack by this man. The man snarled and tried to swipe his blade at him. David, quickly dodged it and used his army training to disarm him. By that time, he gotten the clue and headed off from the island for good. Michael stood up to his full height and faced his friend.
"What was that about?" he asked.
"An old friend, turned enemy." David said. "Three years ago, he was court-marshalled for assult and swore revenge. He took it out on the inhabitants here."
"At least it'll be the last time we see him." Michael said.
"I hope so." David said. "We better head back, Mike."
"Aye." Michael agreed.
They entered back into the city where they recieved cheers for their valor against the evil giant. No matter how small they are to the men, they wouldn't treat them less than that. The celebration going to start in a couple of weeks so both Michael and David had tme to relax. As two days gone by without the mysterious giant around, he took Quetrina and a few of the kids to the beach. Liva and Zhabor are staying with David and Salisa to have some fun. At the beach, Michael took them to the same place where he and his friend arrived here for the first time. This time. it's for recreational purposes as he went into the shelter and set up the picnic there.
"Before you guys go into the water." Quetrina said. "get something to eat first. Then I'll do your sun tan"
The kids came back and they ate for a bit beofre they headed off to the water. They had to come back because Quetrina wanted put sun tan lotion on them before they play in the water. Once done, thy headed to the water, but stayed under supervision by the a few of the maids. Quetrina slowly took off her dress to reveal her swin suit. She didn't get as far as Michael gently scooped her up.
"Now, it's your turn." Michael said.
"What are you doing?" Quetrina asked.
"You'll see." Michael said.
He felt her gently lie down on his palm as he put a tiny dot of sun tan lotion onto his finger tip of his right hand. Then he gently and carefully put lotion on his tiny friend's front and back. He was careful in not putting too much lotion on her.
"Oh my." Quetrina said. "That feels nice."
"Thank you." Michael said.
He was blushing down at her tiny frame. He always thought she was beautiful and was starting to have feelings towards her in the manner that he would never have with other women colse to his size in England. In some ways, Quetrina was showing a lot of her feelings towards him, knowing that giant men with kind personalities are rare to come by. She looked up at Michael who was blushing as heck.
"Michael, what's wrong?" she asked. "You're blushing."
"It's nothing." he said. "Becaise I can't help it if I'm around a beautiful girl like yourself."
"Thank you." Quetrina said, blushing as well.. "That's so sweet."
"Thank you, Quet." he said.
Michael gently brought her closer to his chest for a one hand hug. He continued to hug her for for a bit as she returned the hug to him. Eventually, he stopped hugging Quetrina, and gently set her down on the table. He asked one of the male servants to do his back. Once they were done he lotions the rest himself and scoops Quetrina into his hands to go into the water.
"Michael wait." Quetrina said.
"What is it, Quet?" Michael said.
"I have an idea." she said.
She tells him about using his hand as a diving board for the kids to jump. He wants to do it, but in order for him to even do so, he needs to take them to shallow waters. He gently scoops up the the kids into his hand. Then he slowly and gently waks into the water without causing waves. As he neared deeper water, where he wanted to be. He stopped and the water was at chest length. He used his hand as diving boatd, but the kids were nervous.
"It's ok." Michael said "I won't let you guys drown."
"Thank you." Dialla said.
She braved and jumped into the water without problems. Her brothers thought that she was out of her mind. Eventually they got over their fears and jumped in as well. Even Quetrina got in on the fun too. Michael kept true to his word in not letting them drown by gently scooping them into his hand from the water.
"Having fun." Michael said.
"We are." the kids said.
"Sure." Quetrina said.
Soon after, he gently held them to his bare chest and headed back to dry land. Along the way, Michael stopped and noticed something isn't right around here. He walked cautiousy over to the shore line. Soon enough he saw what he didn't like right away.
"Michael." Quetrina asked. "What is it?"
"He's back." Michael said. "That bad giant is back."
"What?" was all Quetrina said.
Michael headed to the shelter and put her and the kids there. He wanted to keep them safe. The he tackles the bad giant to the ground. He was infuriated by the fact this man kept coming back against their wishes. He was going to teach him a lesson once and for all. His friend, David had already warned him not to return to Tailon Bei and he refuses.
"I thought we told you to get lost." Michael said.
"I'm not leaving without a fight." the giant said.
The men fought it out for a bit and they looked evenly matched up. Quetrina and the orphans hoped that he can hold on for their sake. They saw David come over to them without Salisa, her daughter and their sisters.
"Is he going to be all right, Miss Quetrina?" Dialla said.
"He will be." Quetrina said. "He won't let any giant come here without a fight."
"I'll help him too." David said.
"I hope so." Quetrina said. "By the way where's Salisa and ....."
"They're at the house." he said. "I didn't want to take the risk of bringing them, here. Don't worry about them, they're safe."
"I....." was all Quetrina said.
David ran over to the fight between Michael and the giant. He punched the evil one in his face. He was infuriated that this guy had the nerve to return after knowing that he was never to come back here. Quetrina and three of the orphans found their hiding space away from the fight. They can only hope that David can help Michael hold of that evil giant.
"We told you never to come back." David said to the giant. "You didn't get it."
"Shut up." the giant said.
He attempted to try to choke David again, but Michael pounded the giant repeatedly. He didn't stop until the the giant fianlly got the clue. Although, he took a few punches here and there from the evil giant, it was neccesary. That evil giant has to know his place. This time, Michael made sure that he's gone for good. Neither he nor David want to risk another attack from him again.
"Thanks again for the help." Michael said.
"No problem." David said. "I should be thanking you, he nearly killed me."
"I wouldn't let that happen." Michael said. "Are you going to head back?"
"I sure am." David said. "I'm going to stay with Salisa, Joiva and the other two."
He headed back to the house to stay with them. Michael headed back to the shelter and checked up on Quetrina and the other orphans. He was relieved that they and the servants were ok and decided to head back to the house as well. She was glad that Michael was ok, except for a couple of bruises. At least, he'd still be there for the celebration. He gently scooped them up into his hand and placed them in his shirt pocket. Then he grabbed his basket and headed home.
"That giant returned again." Quetrina said.
"I know, Quet." Michael said. "Did you guys stay away?"
"We did." Dialla said.
"That's good." Michael said.
"Why does he bother us?" Dialla asked. "We haven't done anything to him."
"I don't know." Michael said. "We're going to find out soon."
"We hope so." Quetrina said.
He knew something was up and he needed to find out why. He returns to the town and takes hi friends home for tonight because he needs to find out what the whole story about the bad giant. What his reasons are for returning to Talion Bei and why he has a major problem with the inhabitants here. They'll have to find out from the emperor. It was bothering them since the first time he arrived here. Michael arrived home with his friends and gently set them on the table with Salisa, Joiva and the two younger orphans. Once their friends started eating dinner, he and David headed outside.
"We need to talk." Michael said. "That guy is not going away and we need to know who he is and why he keeps coming back here."
"We need to talk to the emperor about him." David said. "He should know about this."
"You know him too." Michael said, noticing the evil giant's Identification card on his friend. "Why is he taking it out on our friends? They never done anything to him."
David finally came clean about the evil giant they fought a while back. His name was Eric Martin and he was at one point a sergeant in the U.S. Army. They used to be close and they always gotten along. This was until he was caught assulting a few innocent people and he was court-martial in military court. He swore revenge against anyone who stood in his path.
"Why didn't you tell me about him?" Michael asked.
"I wanted to protect you and our friends from him." David said. "I know what he's like on the inside. Outside he seems nice, but inside he's a sociopath. Now it'll be easier if I told the emperor about him soon."
"You should tell him about what you know." Michael said. "It'll make their lives easier and........"
David nodded his head as he tried to come up with a way to change the subject. Michael decided ot get off the subject for a bit and faced his friend. He wanted to ask him about Salisa and Joiva. What he's going to do about it. David looked over at him and decided to say something.
"Joiva's father died when she was a baby." he said. "I don't want to leave both of them on their own. I also can't take them to my home, they can be at risk with anything larger than them. I'm considering staying here, I know my family will miss me."
"I know." Michael said. "I'm starting to feel the same way with Quetrina and the orphans."
"I figured." David said. "You took them to the beach."
Michael nodded as both men came into the house to eat with the girls and the orphans. For a while, they didn't ask them about what they were talking about. After eating, Michael takes Quetrina and the three older siblings to the bathroom to wash up for the night. He puts the orphans on the sink and filled up the bath with water. Once done, he plugs it and has one of the maids watch them. He decides to have his friend share the shower with him.
"Are you sure, it's safe? "Quetrina asked. "I don't want to drown."
"You won't drown." Michael said. "I won't let you."
Quetrina undressed out of her swin suit and headed into the bath with Michael. He made sure she was washed thoroughly and carefully washed her with his hands. When she was done, he gently set her on the side of the bathtub with a small towel covering her.
"Thank you." Quetrina said.
"You're welcome." Michael said. "I need to finish up."
It was now his turn to wash up and Quetrina struggled not to look up at him washing up. It was hard for her because he is a real life god to her and her people. When she finally managed to do so, Michael was already done. She kept herself busy by drying up her auburn hair and her body, so he dosen't get the idea that she was gawking at him in an unpleasant manner.
"Thank you." Quetrina said.
Michael knelt down to her level and gently scooped her into his hand. He was smiling down at her form covered in a towel. This made her blush furiously as he held her close to his bare chest and hugged her. Quetrina was blushing even more as he kept hugging her. He stopped and walked over to the kids. Then he gently picked them up from the water and took them to his room. The orphans knew that she was blushng, but decided it wasn't their business to know about it. They felt him gently put his hand on the table. Immediately the three ran inside the house to get dressed for bed. Quetrina got off his hand and waited for them to go to bed before changing as well in the house.
"Aren't you going to go with them?" Michael asked.
"I want to wait until they're in bed." Quetrina said. I don't feel comfortable if I go in there and have them see me get dressed."
"They're going to be in their own rooms." he said. "I have to get dressed."
She didn't want to feel uncormfortable as she got dressed in her nightgown. Once she was done, she peeked outside her window to see Michael get dressed in his pajamas. She wanted to do it without him catching her in the act. She also knew he can catch her in the act without her knowing it. It was going smooth as he puts on the pajama pants and removes the towel covering his waist.
"He's a real life god." Quetrina said, in Tailonese. "A giant one."
"Miss Quetrina." one of the maid said, in Tailonese. "Don't you think that's...."
Michael stopped for an instant and peeked into the house. His blue eyes pierced through the tiny window. He hasn't put on a shirt and the maid left to go bak to her work. Quetrina blushed even further as he continued to peer down at her.
"You know I saw you." he said.
"I figured that out." Quetrina said. "I'm coming out soon."
"Well you can come out now." he said, smirking.
"Oh you are so cheeky." Quetrina said. "Sometimes, I just don't understand you, Michael."
She came out of the house and stood in front of him. Michael noticed her coming out of the tiny house and gently scooped her into his hand. His blue sparkled with playfuness and did like to tease her about it. At the same time, he knew his limits with her and didn't like risking her anger. She was the same way towards him. Then he raised her to his face and kept that sly smirk on his face. He brought her closer to his huge lips for a kiss. Quetrina couldn't help it, but forgive him right away. He was a giant, but he gave out good kisses. Michael broke the kiss for a bit and gently sat down on the bed.
"What's there to understand, Quet?" he said. "I like to tease you about it. Besides, this was the first time in all my life that I've had someone look at me that way."
"That was going to be just a one time only thing, Michael." Quetrina said, blushing. "I can't help it if you are handsome and gentle to me and the orphans. I can't even help, but have feeling of love for you."
She had just put her hand on her mouth again and blushed even more. Michael blushed for a moment as well as she mentioned that. Eventually, he gently removed her hand off her mouth and hugged her. He had the same feelings for her too and probably knew if he had the chance to return to England. Even he has to admit that the ladies his size, would never compare to Quetrina's sugar and spice nature. He didn't want to reveal his feelings now, but they wanted to come out and won't settle for being dormant. He stopped hugging her and brought her closer to his face.
"So do, I Quet." Michael said,. "You can call me, Mike."
"Ok, Mike." Quetrina said.
She stood up on his hand and planted a kiss on his huge lips. To her suprise, he returned the kiss back to her and smiled down at her. He enjoys his time with her and does like being a real life giant to his tiny friends. He'd probably take her to the celebration in a couple of days. The only question is how they are going to find a tuxedo to fit him and David.

David headed into his own room where Salisa had just come out of the house he built for her, Joiva and the younger two orphans to stay in. he immediately liked Liva for her courage to climb into his hand without thinking him as a monster.
"She probably thinks of you as a giant father." Salisa said.
"I know." David said. "Her, Zhabor and Joiva. They are representations of me wanting to have children."
"You'd make a good father figure to them." Salisa said.
"I know. 'David said. "By the way they're working on our tuxedos."
"Really." Salisa said. "Can they....."
"I'm sure they'll give you and Quetrina elegant dresses to wear." he said.
David gently held her in his hand without hurting his tiny friend. They headed off to bed almost immediately. Salisa slept on the right side of the bed, on the pillow and he on the left side. She really liked him for a reason, but she also had to remember that honoring her vows as a widower is a sign of respect to her country. She'll have to visit Farigor's grave tomorrow and pay her respect to him. I probably think Quetrina might visit her parents' graves tomorrow. Salisa thought. She knew her friend had come to terms to her parents death, realizing that Michael also had his parents die on him when he was a child. She pushed her thoughs aside and slept next to him. David woke up a minute later and headed intot he bathroom to relieve himself. As he got out, he saw the door to Michael's room open and them kissing.
"How cute." David said, to himself.
Michael borke the kiss to Quetrina and both of them stared at him. It was evident, they caught peeking in the bedroom. Michael got up, gently holding her in his hand and walked to the door of his room to face his friend.
"I supose you saw me." David said, brushing off a piece of his dark brown hair.
"We're not blind." Quetrina said. "What were you doing?"
"I just want to wish you two good night." David said.
"Good night." Michael said. "And please try not to see us kiss again. it was quite embarrassing for me and Quet."
I'm sorry." David said, blushing. "I'll keep that in mind."
He headed back into his own room and slept next to Salisa. Michael gently closed the door into his own room, turned off the lights and put Quetrina on the pillow for a few seconds. Then he climbed into his side of the bed and placed her on his bare chest. Once more, Quetrina was blushing like crazy again and he noticed. Instead of teasing her about it, he hugged her.
"I know, you're not used to sleeping on my chest, Quet." Michael said.
"Yes." Quetrina said. "It's awkward to sleep on a giant's chest. I'm afraid you might roll over in your sleep, Mike."
"I won't, Quet." Michael said.
They drifted off to sleep for the night. Quetrina never would have thought that the man she was searching for in her dreams, would wash ashore on Talion Bei as a giant. Michael was from England and showed that he was such a gentleman. He has proven to be a good fighter when that evil giant returned to her country. He also proved to be a good father figure to the orphans, aside from David.
"Ti Niasa Diamura, Michael." Quetrina said.
Michael smiled in his sleep and gently put his hand on her. He continued sleeping thoughout the night with his tiny love, Quetrrina on his chest. He knew that she captured his heart in ways the other women his size in England wouldn't have done. He loved being a giant and using his size to protect his tiny friends from dangers ahead. He woke up once again and put his sleeping love on the pillow.
"Sweet girl." Michael said.
He headed off into the bathroom to relieve himself as Quetrina slept on. When he was done, he returned to his room and slept next to her. He smiled down at his tiny love and kissed her. The next morning, Quetrina awakens next to Michael and kissed him back.
"Minata Cadesai" Quetrina said, in Talionese.
"Good Morning." Michael said.
He sat sup and scooped her into his hand. He had to wake Dialla, Niera and Alabar up for breakfast soon. During that time, he brought her closer to his chest for a one hand hug.
*****************************************
David had already awaken and Salisa followed suit. They had to wake Joiva, Liva and Zhabor. She sat up on the pillow, trying to rub the sleep from her eyes. She stayed into the room as she saw him walk out to the living room. He had to see if the tuxedos have arrived yet.
"I can't wait to find out." Salisa said. "We should at least see if they ...."
"They're already up." David said.
She looked over as Joiva, Zhabor and Liva woke up from their beds and were washing up to get the sleep out of their eyes. She looked up at her friend and hugged his finger. David smiled down at her as he gently lifted her into the palm of his left hand. Salisa smiled as she looked up at his big blue eyes.
"Believe me, you won't." David said. "They're getting ready for breakfast. You and I should check it out."
They headed out of the room and into the kitchedn with the three kids. Once there he set them on the table and watched them climb off except for his friend Salisa who stayed on his hand. He gently lifted her closer to his face.
"Ok." Salisa said. "Where's Michael and Quetrina?"
"Still in bed." David said. "Plus, I caught them kissing last night."
"David." Salisa said. "Don't you think that was a bit rude?"
"Well..." David said."'I did find it cute though. I suppose it was rude. I did apologize to them though."
"That's good." Salisa said.
He walked towards the door and opened it. It was the tuxedos that they were working on. One was for him the other for Michael. It must be for the celebration party. The surprise was was inside the lapels, and sure enough there were two evening dresses for both Salisa and Quetrina.
********************************
Michael held Quetrina closer into his chest for a hug before standing up to get Dialla and her siblings to wake up for breakfast. He needed them ready to eat by then. The three were more than responsible for washing up. As they waited for the older ones, Quetrina looked up at him.
"Michael." she said.
"Yes, Quet." Michael said.
"I wanted to ask you about the shipwreck." Quetrina said. "I don't know how I should....."
"I'll tell you soon." Michael said.
"Ok." Quetrina said.
Once the older three were done, he gently took them into his hand with Quetrina and walked out of his room. He walked into the kitchen and let his passengers off on the table. Then he headed towards David who was still holding Salisa in his hand. Michael knelt down to look at the tuxedos that had just arrived.
"The tuxedos jut arrived." David said.
"I just saw that." Michael said. "Don't try botching me around."
"I know." David said. "I just assumed you didn't know."
"I knew." Michael said. "Let's just eat."
They headed to the table and ate breakfast with the girls and the kids. It was a nice time between them. Once they're done, the kids were taken by both David and Michael to get dressed because Quetrina and Salisa wanted to do some shopping with them. The girls leave the kids soon after leaving them at the house. Michael got dressed in a new Naval Suit and his friend, an Army uniform. The emperor needed them to look their best when they meet him. David needs to tell him about his former friend and makes sure that this doesn't happen again. The men headed out to the emperor's palace to speak to him. On their way, they were careful in not crushing any cars or the people below them.
"Are you nervous about this?" Michael said.
"Sort of." David said. "I mean I haven't had the ideal on how....
They arrived at the palace, but the emperor wasn't around, but his wife was. Knowing the men were looking for her husband she told him where they'll find him. They found him at the beach all right, but they were shocked to see many of their militia circling around another giant. The emperor having noticed both David and Michael asked the guard to stand in for him on the other giant so he can talk to them. David gently lowered his hand to let the emperor climb in to talk to them. The portly emperor climbed in right away and was gently lifted closer to both David and Michael's faces.
"Mind telling us what is going on." David asked.
Before the emperor got a chance to answer, Michael headed towards the new arrival without crushing the militia and looked through his uniform. It was apparent that he knew him pretty well. He was a British soldier who also survived another shipwreck, not from the Cunard. He was starting to wake up and the Talionese Militia was preparing to fire at him. However they didn't fire until ordered.
"James." Michael said.
"Do you know him?" the emperor asked.
"Yes, Your Highness." Michael said. "He's my childhood friend."
"Childhood friend?!" David said, confused.
"I'll explain later." Michael said
The giant awaken from his sleep and noticed Michael kneeling in front of him. He couldn't believe his eyes that he was still alive. He was told that he was dead along with the American Soldier. He didn't believe that he had died and slowly sat up. This was the proof he needed.
"How long have you been here?" James asked.
"Seven days." Michael said. "I'll introduce you to my new friend, David."
"Please do so." James said.
Then they heard shouting from the militia below them. Michael stood up and headed back to his other friend. However, James couldn't understand them at all. Still, he was curious and reached down for one of the men. The majority of the militia ran from his oncoming hand. Only one wasn't able to get away and was scooped into his huge hand for a closer inspection.
"What are you?" James said
The tiny soldier was scared for his life and cowered in fear of James. He didn't want to hurt him at all, just gain his trust.
"Don't be scared of me. "James said. "I don't mean you any harm."
***********************************
Quetrina and Salisa are continuing with their shopping with the kids when they heard reports of another giant on Talion Bei. It seems like that David and Michael aren't the only ones that are here. It ccould raise concern for them, knowing the previous time they had the evil giant here.
"Another giant" Quetrina said. "But, how?"
"I don't know, Quet." Salisa said. "We'll have to find out soon."
"What about the kids?" Quetrina said.
"I know we can't leave them alone." Salisa said. "I couldn't live with myself if I left Joiva alone."
Quetrina nodded her head as she and her friend continued their shopping with the kids. They needed to get them new clothes for school, now that they're not orphaned, working in factories and living in hideous conditions to stay together.
"That's always been a scary thought in our minds." Salisa said.
"I know." Quetrina said. "But they lived through it."
The news continued on throughout the radio about another giant on Talion Bei as Joiva and the others continued shopping around. they'll have to find out from David and Michael later on about what was going on. Hopefully, the new giant is as friendly as they are when they first arrived here.
"Miss Quetrina." Dialla said. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine." Quetrina said.
********************************************
The tiny militia man continued cowering in fear of James as he continued standing on the palm of his hand. However, he wouldn't give up and continued coaxing tiny man into not being afraid of him. James kept his gentle face towards the tiny man, not to scare him.
"Please don't be scared of me." James said. "I really mean you no harm."
The militia man looked up at his huge hazel eyes and calmed down immediately. As he continue inspecting him, David faced the emperor as Michael is told to take his friend to their house to get cleaned up. James gently put the little man back on the ground ans followed his friend to the house they're staying at. After heading back to Talion Bei, David faced the emperor and came clean about the evil giant he and Michael fought with.
"His name was Eric Martin." David said. "He was a former friend of mines and we served in the U.S. Army together. One day, he was caught assulting a few innocent people and was court-martialed for it."
"Why didn't you tell us about it?" The emperor said. "We could've found ways to have gottten rid of him."

Once done with the shopping, Quetrina and Salisa took the kids back to the giant house for them to take a nap. They needed the rest after spending the rest of the day shopping for new clothes for school. Fortunately, Michael was home and he took Salisa, Joiva, Liva and Zhabor back into David's room. Then he took the three roomed with him into his room to sleep it off as Quetrina rode in his pocket.
"So Who is the new giant here?" Quetrina asked.
"He's my childhood friend, James." Michael said. "I'll introduce him to you and the others later. He just needs t settle in right now."
"Ok. Quetrina said.
She felt him gently put her down on the pillow of his bed and curled up on the freshly cleaned sheets. Michael changed out of the uniform into pajama pants. He wants to take a nap with her until later on tonight. Michael gently picked her up from the pillow and puts her on his bare, muscular chest to sleep on. Quetrina was blushing as heck, but she covered it up with curling up on his chest. She felt him gently scooping her up into his hand
"How cute." Michael said, kissing her.
"Ti Niasa Diamura." Quetrina said, kissing him back.
*************************************
"Please forgive me for not telling you sooner." David said. "I was trying to protect you and your people from him."
"It's forgiven." the emperor said. "But please let us know next time."
He continued his talk with the emperor throughout the time that they returned to Talion Bei with the militia. It was a good thing that he told the emperor the truth about his former friend, Eric and hopefully they'd find a good solution on how to deal with him soon. Right now, he just wants to get back to Salisa soon.
*******************************************
At the house, James peeked through Michael's door and noticed the tiny girl on his chest. He told him about Quetrina as his lover and promises to have them meet soon. He turned away from the door and headed back into his own room. Inside, he notices an indentured maid trying to clean the floor of his room. Every time she tries, she ends up being very clumsy and trips all over everything before falling on the ground. James carefully proceeded towards the tiny maid and knelt down to inspect her better. She was in her early 20s with blonde hair, long and loose. She has a green eye on her left and one grey eye on her right. She tripped once on her usual items to clean the floors with again. But this time, she fell into his huge hand and found herself on James' palm.
"Montero du Tan?" she said, in Talionese after recovering her balanced on his huge hand.
James gently lifted her up to his face and slowly stood up from the ground. He wanted to have a closer look at her without scaring her. It didn't scare her to have him as a giant like David and Michael, but saddened her because she thought he'd be mad at her for disturbing him. He wasn't mad at her, just curious to look at her better.
"What's wrong, miss?" James said. "Please don't be upset, I mean you no harm, miss."
"Thank you." the maid said, sitting down on his hand.
"Welcome." James said.
He gently sat down on his bed to get to know her better. He was shocked to find out there are other places in this world that no one knows about. Nor have the inhabitants roughly many times smaller the average human that looks up to his people as giants. The maid felt very comfortable around him. It obviously reminds me of Jonathon Swifts' Gulliver's Travels he thought.
"Mind telling me your name please?" James said.
The tiny maid looked up at him further unsure whether to tell him about her name or not. She was worried that he might laugh at it. She hopes he won't though.
"Malida." the maid said.
***********************************
David took the emperor home for the night and headed back to the house. He needed to talk to Michael about James and how he does know him. I have to find out his back story. he thought. I don't know if he's going to be nice or mean. His eyes reminded me of my former friend, Eric's. I have to make sure that Salisa and the others are ok.
"I need to find out the truth soon." David said. "I just don't want another attack here."
***********************************
Michael broke off his kiss to Quetrina and continued cuddling her. She continued to blush further as he cuddled with her. She hugged him back even more and snuggled on his stubbled face. She didn't mind him like that, he was still handsome that way. Michael looked down at her with his big blue eyes as she cuddled his face.
"You're blushing again." Michael said.
"Michael." Quetrina said. "What you're doing is making me blush further."
"I know, Quet." Michael said.
He kissed her once more and didn't stop for at least a minute. She couldn't help but forgive him every single time. He gives out good kisses and he has a real cute face to it. Eventually he stopped and lied down on the bed once again. He gently placed her back on his chest and watched her curl up on it. Then they drifted off for a nap. She was quite glad to have found her man in the right place. If her parents were alive today, they would've liked Michael too. He put his hand on Quetrina as they slept for that time.

"I'll need you to turn around." Michael said.
"Umm...." Quetrina said, nervously.
"I won't crush you." Michael cooed. "I just want to massage you."
"Ok." Quetrina said
She relaxed and turned around so her back is facing him. He genly lowered his finger towards her back and began massaging her back. It was firm, but soft at the same time. She's always had her massages done by her family and others. However, they used their entire hand to do so. Michael didn't have to use his hand, due to his size and can use his fingers. Still she was enjoying the back massage from him.
"That is nice." Quetrina said.
"I glad you're enjoying it." Michael said.
"I am enjoying it." Quetrina said. "Thank you."
***************************************
David took Salisa into his hand as he headed into the kitchen to talk to her futher while Joiva, Zhabor and Liva slept. He gently set her down on the table. They weren't alone however as James and Malida the maid showed up to join them. He gave Malida the same treatment and faced him. David was almost tempted to punch him because his eye color reminded him of Eric right away.
"David, don't do it." Salisa said. "He has never hurt anyone."
"I'm sory, Lisa." David said. "But his eyes reminded me about Eric Martin and it riled me up."
"Eric Martin?" James said. "I saw him the other day before I arrived here. Besides, I never hurt your girlfriend and her daughter."
"That's good to hear." David said. "What did Martin say to you?"
"He tried to get me to join him, David." James said. "I refused and he swore that I won't make it here. I proved him wrong and as a result, he's dead. I had to fight for survival and he wasn't what I wanted."
Before David could ask him if he was buried on Talion Bei, he admitted his body was outside of here and is on an island furthest away from here. David really did owe James everything because of what he did for Talion Bei.
"Umm, James, I need to apologize for my suspicion against you." David said.
"Don't worry about it." James said.
Salisa was talking to Malida about the whole thing, when David and James looked down at them. They couldn't understand a word spoken in Talionese. Michael has started learning the language, but still had some trouble.
"Umm what are you ladies talking about?" David said.
"Norome?" Malida said, in Talionese.
"What do you mean?" Salisa said.
Malida hid behind her and didn't bother to look further at him and James. It was clear she was nervous about David still. Salisa knew why, she was afraid he might get mad at her. Malida eventuaully looked out again to check if he's going to be mad at her soon. David wasn't mad and decided to coax her out of hiding behind Salisa.
"Take it easy little one." David said. "I won't hurt you. I'm just curious to just see you."
Malida calmed down and came out of hiding from Salisa, but she was still nervous about the whole thing. She can't tell if he's going to be nice to her or not.
"She's a little shy around new people." James said.
**************************************
Micheal smiled and continued to massage Quetrina. It was clear she was enjoying the massage from him. Eventually he stopped to check up on the three older siblings. Once, they were still asleep he turned his attenion to her once more. Quetrina returned to her sitting position to face Michael.
"How did you arrive here?" Quetrina said.
"I'll tell you." Michael said. "Just don't say anything until I'm done."
He finally came out on how he and David arrived here. They were on the ship a bunch of American toops helping the RMS Queen Mary transport them to Europe to fight Nazi Germany. Along the way, they encounered a storm and before long the Cunard was sinking. Only he and David survived by getting on the life boat and heading towards Talion Bei to recover from the loss of life. It was evident that Michael had blamed himself for what happened and lied down on the bed. Quetrina gort off his hand and looked over at him as he turned around and ended up crying.
"Michael." Quetrina said.
She walked over to him and tried to comfort him the best way she can considering her size. She had a hard time coping with her parents death at sea and always blamed herself, so she knew how he felt. No matter ho much he tried to keep her from his tears, she wanted to stay with him regardless of what will happen. She didn't mind being wet from his tears not the fact that he was crying. It showed that despite the fact that Michael was a giant, he was still human. Quetrina's parents had always called her the female version of the God of Love, Quetros and was named in his honor.
"It wasn't your fault for what happened." Quetrina said. "I know you blamed yourself for the deaths of the soldiers and for your parents. I've done the same for myself and it took me meeting you that I was able to cope for what happened and realize it wasn't my fault. I hope you realize it too."
"You really don't think so." Michael said.
"Of Course." Quetrina said.
She kept hugging him as her own tears came out in front of her. Michael eventually stopped crying, wiped out his own tears and scooped Quetrina into his hand. He gave her a one hand hug on his chest and smiled down at her. He was glad that she cared about him and cofmorted him. The only thing he needed to do was dry her off
"Thank you Quet." Michael said.
"You're welcome, Mike." Quetrina said.
*****************************************
"I think I know that." David said. "However, I want her to trust us."
"ohh." James said.
Malida got closer to him without seeing him mad at her. It was obvious she was starting to trust him. She stopped James from escalating the fight further before it got out of hand. Salisa looked over as both men sat down on the chairs. She turned her attention to Malida.
"Do you wat to know somehting about me?" Malida said.
"We sure do." David said.
"I'll tell you soon." Malida said.
"Take your time over this." James said
********************************************
"Looks like I'll have to dry you." Michael said. "Looks like I got you wet from my tears."
"I know." Quetrina said. "I don't mind it though."
"Still, I tried to keep you dry from it." Michael said.

"I know." Quetrina said.
She nodded as he gently grabbed a towel and dried her off from his tears. He was real happy to have her into his life and snuggles with her further. In a lot of ways, Quetrina felt the same way towards him. She was blushing very much as he coniued to cuddle her.
"The kids were fine." Quetrina said. "They ate a little too much."
"I fugured that." Michael said. "Do you know what I've been through on that ship?"
"You don't have to tell me now." Quetrina said.
Michael did anyway and walked out into the living room with him to talk to David and James about it. As he walked into the living room, Malida looked up at him and noticed him gently putting Quetrina down on the table. Then he sat down on one of the chairs.
"Michael." David said.
"I'd like to tell you now. Malida said.
She told her story on what it was like living as an indenutred servant because her family was poor. Her parents died when she was only 9 and she along with her other siblings were sold into slavery. Five escaped and were working in the factories to stay together, but she didn't escape. She had a hard time adjusting to working as a scullery maid. During that time, Quetrina got a bit emotional and turned away for a moment. Her parents died at sea ind she lived with her uncle Kivon and her aunt Mataral, in a farm with her siblings.
"Quet, are you ok?" Michael asked.
"I'm fine." Quetrina said. "I..."
"Can you excuse us for a moment?" he said.
"Of course Mike." David said.
Michael scooped her into his hand and took her into his room as Malida continued her story with James, David and Salisa hearing the story. t was quite obvious that she was overwhelmed that Malida had gone through years of slavery as a scullery maid and it upset her greatly.
"Quet, what's wrong?" Michael asked.
"I just feel a little bad about what happened to her." Quetrina said. "I mean just to be forced to work as a slave. It just sickens me and....."
Michael gently held her close to his chest for a one hand hug as she cried on his chest. He had to comfort her the best way he can at his size. This was overwhelming for her to even hear about what had happened. In some ways it had angered him too hear that happened to someone who could've had a better life. Right now, his main conceern was making Quetrina feel better about the whole thing.
"Everything will be fine, Quet. "Michael said. "We'll help her out."
"I know." Quetrina said, crying. "It just overwhelmed and angered me to even hear that."
"I know." Michael said. "She's in a much better position now with us."
"I can only hope you're right." Quetrina said.
Michael nodded as he brought her closer to his lips for a kiss. The kiss actually helped her a lot. He continued planting kisses all over her. She was real happy and grateful to have him into her life. He really cared about her and his feelings for her were genuine.
"You are so sweet Mike." Quetrina said.
"Thank you." Michael said, kissing her.
"Niaie Dematu." Quetrina said, kissing him back.
Michael smiled as he continued kissing her. He has never felt the way he feels around the other women like he does with her. The women of England were sweet, but none of them that he knew of could compare to the sweet and spicy nature of Quetrina. She had felt the same way as well with the men in her country. Michael was handsome for a giant and had the qualities that could put the other men to shame. He eventually stopped and faced her again.
"Do you think we should get ready soon?" Quetrina said.
"I don't...." was all Michael said.
He gently sat Quetrina down on the nightstand as he went to retrieve his tuxedo, David gave him five hours before. He gave her a champagne colored dress and peeked outside of the window. The party might be called off due to the rain coming on shore.
"What's wrong, Mike?" Quetrina said.
"I don't know." Michael said. "I just feel like something might come up and ruin the party."
"I hope it won't happen." Quetrina said. "We shouldn't worry about it right about now."
Michael nodded as he sat down on the bed and lowered his finger next to her. This time she didn't get apprensive about it and hugged his finger the best way she can at her size. He gently lifted her into his right hand and smiled down at her tiny frame.
"How cute." Michael said, gently swaying his finger.
"Michael." Quetrina said, blushing. "You just made me blsuh."
"There's nothing wrong with that." Michael said. "Besides when David and I first came here, we expected this place to be abandoned."
"Like an abandoned Island." Quetrina said. "You were surprised that we existed."
"Extremely." Michael said. "We probably felt like Gulliver on Lilliput."
"We haven't even heard of Gulliver before." Quetrina said.
"Looks like I'll have to tell you about him." Michael said.
"Ok." Quetrina said. "I mean after all this is over."
He told Quetrina about the story as it started to rain. For the next few days, it was raining throughout Talion Bei. As it continued on, Michael and Quetrina were spending time with the older three siblings when James came in with Malida along with David, Salisa, Joiva and the younger two.
"What's wrong?" Michael said.
"Well...." Was all James said.
"We were wondering if we can stay with you guys." David said.
Quetrina looked over to Michael as she saw their friends wanting to stay in here because their room has light and a fireplace. It could stay that way for days. She, Salisa and Malida spoke to each other and the kids in Talionese. The three men also bonded too with each other.
"Have you ever did crush something before?" James said. "I'm just curious."
"Not me." David said.
"I did." Michael said. "The old house that the emperor and the giovernment deemed unsanitary. The ophans you met earlier were living in filthy conditions because they were working in factories."
"Did you get them out though?" James asked.
Michael nodded his head and after that he crushed the house to pieces. He admited he had never had that kind of power to crush a house in terrible conditions, but won't hurt anyone tinier than him. As the men talked, Liva slipped away from Quetrina and the others to meet the giant James. She wanted to make sure he was unaware about her. However, he spotted her right away and gently scooped her into his hand. Then he raised her closer to his face and inspected her.
"Looks Like I caught ya, little one." James said.
"Daitro." Liva said.
"She does that alot." David said. "But she wasn't afraid of Michael and me when she first met us."
"That's right." Michael said.
"She is cute though." James said.
He turns his attention to Liva who is sittng there in his hand without being afraid of him. Being the youngest of her siblings would typically mean being scared the most, not the older siblings in her family. However, she didn't show any fear or nervousness around him and stood up on his palm.
"So what is your name cutie?" James said.
"Liva." she said.

How cute." James said, petting her head with his finger. "My name is James, love."
Quetrina turned her attention towards James holding Liva in his hand and the other four got nervous right away. They were afraid he was going to eat her.
"He won't hurt her." Quetrina said.
"But how....." was all the older four said.
"Look" Salisa said, in Talionese.
The four siblings looked over as they saw James gently holding Liva in his hand without hurting her. They noticed him petting her head with his finger without scratching her. Joiva looked on as she saw the older four still nervous about the whole thing
"James isn't evil." Joiva said.
"How would you know about that? "Dialla said.
"He held me into his hand once." Joiva said. "And he has never hurt me that made my mother nervous."
The older four decided that he was not an evil giant. They decided to get closer to him for a bit as David and Michael gently took Quetrina and Salisa out of the room to talk to them alone. They took a look outside the window to see the rain stop for now.
"Is it over yet?" Salisa asked.
"I don't know yet." David said.
"I think we might still have a few more days of it." Quetrina said.
Michael didn't want to talk about it further and gently held her to his chest for a one hand hug. He wanted to distract her from the comments about the rain and still held out hope that the party can be held soon. David followed suit with Salisa and lied down on the sofa.
"How do you like you new power as a giant?" Quetrina said.
"I do quite like it." Michael said. "The only thing I don't like to do is hurt others."
"We haven't at all." David said. "Nor will we have any intentions of doing so."
"Aye" Michael said.
"That's good to hear." Salisa said, curling up on David.
"How cute." David said, kissing her.
Salisa smiled up at him and curled up on his chest further. Quetrina did the same on Michael as they were enjoying their time together. Eventually the rain started again and they stayed there in the living room. They didn't want to cuddle with each other in front of the kids and have them think the wrong idea.
"I just hope this goes away soon." Quetrina said.
"I know." Michael said, hugging her.
**************************************
James looked over to the older four as they got nervous with him again and tried to hide behind Malida. He slowly crept towards them with Liva in his hand, not hurt. Joiva thought they were overreacting as usual. However, she couldn't blame them at all because of James' hulking height.
"What's wrong little ones?" James said. "I won't hurt you."
"They're a bit nervous around you." Malida said, climbing into his hand and sitting next to Liva. "Well except for Liva, she's probably the bravest out of them."
"I figured that out." James said, kissing Liva and her.
He stopped kissing them and gently lowered his hand to the nightstand. They climbed off his hand and he turned his attention to the older four with Joiva. Dialla, Zhabor, Alabar and Niera started to get nervous once again as they came face to face with him. He turned his attention to the nervous four.
"Easy." James said. "Don't be scared of me, little ones. I won't hurt you. I didn't hurt your sister."
The four were relieved that he didn't even hurt Liva and climbed into his hand to get to know him better. James gently raised them to his face to inspect them further. He was a giant to them, but his hazel eyes told them he wasn't an evil giant.
******************************************
Michael looked over at David as he and Salisa peered out the window. The weather reports stated that the rain will only last through tonight. By tomorrrow, it will clear up and the party will be there. He turned his attention towards Quetrina as she crawled closer to his handsome face. He sat up, gently scooped her into his hand and hugged her.
"I caught you." Michael said.
"I thought I was just being stealth." Quetrina said.
"Not really." Michael said. "I saw you."
He gently raised her to his face and planted kisses all over her. Then he continued to hug her continuously. David faced Salisa while told the history of Talion Bei. The island was originally used as a plague pit as a means to keep the infected away from the healthy from the neighboring islands. Unfortunately for the authorities of the other islands, the victims found a cure to the plague with the help from the other former victims by drinking from the Fountain of Youth, which was a healing fountain. After the victims were healthy, they formed their new utopian country called Talion Bei and built it to a place of beauty. Women had equal rights as men to be in politics, be artists and musicians.
"Wow." David said. "The founders here lived this long."
"Yes." Salisa said. "It was a small price to pay, for being cured from the plague."
"I guess." David said.
"I know." Michael said. "We better check on James and the others."
"They'll be just fine." Quetrina said, kissing him. "Can we get back to what we're doing?"
Michael smiled and planted kisses all over her. He headed back into his room to see James bonding with the older four without problems now. He gently sat down on the bed next to him and faced him. The older four was completely trusting of him without fearing him, especially after they saw how much he didn't hurt Liva and just kissed her.
"So how were things in here?" Michael asked.
"We're actually doing fine." James said. "It took me a while to get them to trust me, but I managed though."
"I see." Quetrina said.
She watched the four get off his hand and he turned his attention towards her. Quetrina apologized for what happened and hoped she hasn't done a thing that offended him. James gently picked her up from Michael's hand and gently placed her in his hand to talk to her better.
"I can understand how nervous you were about me." James said. "But I really wanted you to just shake my finger."
"Ok." Quetrina said. "Can you not try to scare me this time?"
James agreed this time and he slowly lowered his finger next to her. Hee watched her with some amusement as she shook his finger the best way she can at her size. Once it was all over, he gently gave her back to his friend and picked up Malida from the nightstand.
"I think we should turn in for tonight." James said.
"Aye." Michael said.
"We better get them to bed." James said, meaning the kids.
"I know." Michael said.
David headed into the room to pick up Liva, Zhabor and Joiva to take back into his room with Salisa. James did the same with Malida and took her into his room.
"They'll be fine." Michael said.
"I know, but ............." Quetrina said, eating the food he cooked with the three orphans.
"I'm also glad you got over your nervousness with James." Michael said.
"Especially with the finger." Quetrina said. "I was nervous about it and I got over it. Thank you though."
Michael smiled down at her and kisses her face and eats with them. Then they headed off to bed soon after what happened today. As the older three slept in the house and Michael on his bed. Quetrina looked over at him and kissed his lips. He felt her, scooped her into his hand and sat up on his bed. He held her on his chest and gave her a one-hand hug.
"I caught you again." Michael said, chuckling.
"Not funny." Quetrina said. "I was hoping you stayed asleep."
"Not really." Michael said. "I am a light sleeper when it comes to you."
He planted kisses all over her and she couldn't help it but forgive him again. Michael was very sweet to her and the people around her. Eventually, they went back to sleep with him on the bed and she sleeping on his chest. When she first met him a few weeks ago, his chest was bare and muscular. Now his chest started sprouting hairs on it.
"Very soft." Quetrina said, snuggling on it.
The next day, the rain stopped and the people came out to assess the damage and the walls built. Michael, David and James made sure to inspect for damages done to the wall due to the rain. The wall held with little damages and things went back to normal. The three went back to their house to finish breakfast with their girls and the kids. James told Michael what happened with Eric Martin when he tried to get him to join his cause.
"You fought with him." Michael said.
"Aye." James said. "He said he wanted revenge, but I think that he wanted to take over Talion Bei for himself. I refused to join and we ended up fighting. He died at my hand and I was able to come here."
"He deserved it." Michael said. "Did you tell the emperor?"
"He knows because I talked to him about it." James said.

"Really." Michael said.
James nodded his head as he finished his breakfast. He hasn't recieived anything to wear for the celebration since the other day time when he showed the emperor the knife that he used to kill Eric with. It looks like he may have to skip out on the ceremony since he doesn't have anything nice to wear. David looked over to him as he contiued eating.
"Anyway have you gotten your tuxedo yet?" Michael asked.
"Not really." James said. "I'm thinking of skipping out."
"Not much for celebration." David said.
"No, I just haven't received it...." was all James said.
They heard the door knock and James got up from his chair to open it. His tuxedo had arrived and not a moment to soon. He was happy that it was here and now he can go. He took his tuxedo into his room while the others ate. During that time, Quetrina looked up at Michael and leaned over next to him. It didn't surprise her that he felt her and scooped her into his hand.
"You know I saw you." Michael said.
"Montero du Tan?" Quetrina said.
He planted kisses on her and hugged her on his chest. She blushed as she looked up with him smiling down at her. Quetrina smiled back and hugged him Salisa wasn't surprised by it and curled up next to David as he continued eating. She wasn't alone as Joiva hugged his arm. He noticed them and Lida together and gently scooped the into his hand.
"Nice try, ladies." David said.
"Montero du...?" was all Salisa said.
He brought them closer to his chest and hugged them. Michael could tell that David had always wanted to have his own family and in some ways he did too. This is the closest thing they have for one despite the size difference. After they were done with breakfast, David took Salisa, Joiva and the kids out to the park, Jame took Malida to get her makeover and Michael went with Quetrina to visit her relatives. A visit to her relatives helped make her at ease.
"Quetrina, Michael." Mataral said.
"Auncha." Quetrina said.
"Hello, Miss Mataral." Michael said
He gently lowered his hand down and let her climb off to hug her aunt. The two hugged for a moment before turning their attention to him. However, Mataral surprised him by climbing in his hand and tried to find something to hug him. Michael gently lowered his finger and she hugged his huge finger the best way she can at her size.
"Auncha." Quetrina said. "Where is Unchen Kivon?"
"He left to take one of the horses to the vet." Mataral said. "He'll be back soon."
"I see." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "Is there anything we can do for you?"
"Well, your niece is stuck in a tree again." Mataral said, in Talionese.
"What?!" Quetrina said. "How did she get there?"
"She was trying to get her doll down." Mataral said. "She ended up stuck up there."
"How far up?" Quetina said. "Im just...."
"155 feet up." Mataral said. "I'm worried about her being sick and..."
Michael gently lowered her next to Quetrina and headed towards to the tree where her niece was. The six-year-old blonde was still stuck to the tree since last night. She was cold and was on the verge of Hypothermia. He didn't have a time to waste as he gently scooped her into his hand and took her back home. Once he does, Mataral takes her into her arms and runs her inside as fast as she could.
"Deitra." Quetrina said. "Michael, thank you for getting my niece down."
"Anytime, Quet." Michael said, gently scooping her into his hand. "I think she'll be ok though."
"I hope so." Quetrina said. "That's my younger brother's daughter. I haven't married and they have."
She felt him start walking towards the rural town which she has grown up in. It wasn't as surprising to see them nervous around Michael, unlike the first time when everyone hid in their house. They were so nervous around him becuase of his gigantic frame. He proved he wasn't an evil giant and wouldn't hurt them.
"I don't think you have to tell me." Michael said. "no man here has been able to keep up with you."
"No." Quetrina said. "That wasn't all, I wanted to pursue a career. Then with my parents dead, I had a hard time with the marriage concept."
"I figured that out." Michael said. "We found each other and that is all....."
Whatever he was going to say next was interrupted by someone calling for help with something. He slowly and gently crept down to face the shopkeeper who was in need of help of getting the giant sized ring off his store's back door.
"What is it?" Quetrina asked, from his pocket.
"We'll find out from him." Michael said.
Michael gently picked the shopkeeper from the ground and puts him into his hand. He wanted to get a clearer view and talk to him. The man was scared of him immediately and tried to back away.
"Easy little one." Michael said. "I won't hurt you. I need to ask if you need help with something."
The man calmed down as he told him about the giant ring blocking the store's back door and wasn't budging for a long time. He needs help from the town, but they're afraid to be crushed by the huge, gold ring where it was. Michael nodded as he lowered the man to the ground.
"I'm the only one who can remove it." Michael said. "I need all of you to steer clear from here. I don't anyone getting crushed by that ring, while I'm removing it."
The town complied and stayed indoors as Michael made his way to the back to see the gold ring. To his friends it was big, but to him, it was hand held. Quetrina stayed inside the pocket as he knelt down and pulled the ring from the store back door. Then he put the ring on his ring finger. The crowd cheered for him a few minutes later for the kindness he showed towards them. He was enjoying his powers as a giant and more so, he enjoys using them to help those in need. The storekeeper gave him whatever he needed in the store as a reward for his assistance in removing the ring off the store. Soon they went back to their normal lives as Michael headed back to Mataral's house to give her the medicine.
"They really appreciate you for what you did." Quetrina said.
"I know, Quet." Michael said. "Plus I'm keeping a souvenier for myself, the same ring I removed."
"What did you ask him to get you?" Quetrina asked.
"Some medicine for you niece." Michael said. "Mataral was in a frenzy when she was cold."
"Hypothermia has kicked in." Quetrina said. "Mataral wants to make sure she's not dead"
Michael nodded as he headed back to Mataral's house with Quetrina in his pocket. They had to get the medicine into her system before she gives up her fight for her life. Every second counts. Michael thought as they arrived to the house. I don't want to see any more people dead.
"I wished you could come inside the house." Quetrina said.
"I do too, Quet." Michael said. "However, I'm just too big for that and I don't want to crush anyone to death."
He took Quetrina out of his pocket and she ran inside to give her aunt the medicine her niece needs to recover.
"Thank you Quetrina." Mataral said, in Talionese. "I really appreciate it."
"Auncha, you should be thanking Michael." Quetrina said, Talionese. "He's the one who got the medicine after helping out with the ring."
"I see." Mataral said, in Talionese. "Give that to your niece. I have go thank Michael."
***************************************
James decided to keep his mind busy as he waits for Malida, whose getting a complete makeover for the celebration. He decided to explore the city and check up if any workers need his help as they're completing the the table and chairs for them to sit on. It would be a good time to help out with them and slowly walked closer to the men. One in particular was tired and sick from hours of work and needed medical attention.
"What's wrong with this man?" James asked, one of the workers.
"He's sick right now." the worker said. "He wanted to work through the illness, but we told him to go see a doctor."
"I'll take him there myself." James said. "Just get back to work.
The worker went back to work as he didn't wait for him to clock out and took the man to the hospital to get better. As he kept walking towards the hospital, many of the inhabitants braced themselves as every thunderous step he took. Once at the hospital, the man looked up at James, curious to know why he has taken him to the hospital, when he has to work.
"I had to take you there." James said. "You were sick and I din't want you to die."
"You would do that?" The man said. "No one has done so."
"I'm not a monster." James said. "You only have one life to live. Work can come another day, but not when you're sick. I'm worried about you losing your life to work."

The man didn't answer as he kept looking up at the giant, James. He was concerned for his health and didn't want him to die. Eventually, he agreed to get better and looked up at him as though he wants to get off of his palm. James knew what that meant and gently goes on one knee. Then he lowered his hand to the ground andd watched the man jump out of his hand. He headed into the hospital much to his relief. James stood up to his full height and walked back to the to the salon to see Malida is done.
"I hope she done with her new look." James said. "I really want to take her with me."
He has noticed David with the five orphans and Joiva. He was curious to know where was Salisa though. She wasn't with him, which was kinda odd for him.
"She went to visit her dead husband's grave." David said. "She asked me not to follow her during that time."
********************************
Quetrina heads into her niece's room to give her the medicine to get well with. She was worried about her for a good reason due to her having hypothermia. She gave Deitra the medicine to take for her hypothermia. She was relieved to see her active and taking her medicine like a good girl.
"Auncha Quetrina." Deitra said. "What happened to me today?"
"I don't know." Quetrina said. "This was the most worried I been for you in a long time. Why did you ask?"
"My dad refused to get my doll." Deitra said. "I remembered trying to get my doll from the tree. I ended up being stuck there, after he left me."
"My boyfriend, Michael got you down from the tree." Quetrina said. "I was worried about you getting sick or worse finding you dead."
Outside the house, Mataral looked up at Michael as he sat down next to the house. She had tried to remember how much she wanted to thank him for helping her out. He looked down at her and lowered his hand next to her so he can talk to her. She climbed into his hand with ease. Mataral then felt Michael slowly and gently lift her to his face.
"Miss Mataral, what's wrong?" Michael said.
"Nothing really. "Mataral said. "I just came outside to thank you for bringing the medicine here."
Michael smiled down at her tiny frame. In some ways Mataral reminds him of his deceased mother, even when she asked him if he was cold or not. It was no wonder she was a mother figure to Quetrina and her younger siblings. Since he couldn't kiss his own mother goodbye due to her tragic death at sea, he planted a small kiss on Mataral. It was more of a son kissing his mother. He stopped kissing her and faced her. She was probably confused as to why he kissed her
"I'm sorry about the kiss." Michael said. "You reminded me of my mother and I couldn't help it."
"I do?" Mataral said.
"Aye." Michael said. "I know my parents died at see and you're Quet's aunt"
He gently lowered her to the ground so she can clean herself up. Then he took Quetrina and headed back to the city, since she needed to get herself ready for the celebration. She looked over to Michael and wanted to know why he kissed her aunt Mataral. However, she was afraid that she might anger him if she does ask him about it.
"Quet." Michael said.
"Yes, Mike." Quetrina said.
"You were probably wondering why I kissed your aunt." Michael said. "She reminded me of my mother and I was only 8 when I lost my parents at sea."
"I see." Quetrina said.
"Besides, I save my passionate kisses for you." Michael said.
"Can't you....." was all Quetrina said.
Michael was planting kisses all over her again. Quetrina had to admit he was right because when he kissed Mataral, it was only a mother/son thing. However with her it was more right to give her the passionate ones. he stopped kissing her and press on to the city and dropped her off at the salon to get herself ready. Then he headed over to his friends David and James to hang out.
Outside the salon, Michael hung out with his friends as they wait for their dates to be done. He wanted to hang around with them while the girls are busy. However, salisa wasn't part of the group getting their looks done and was curious to know where she was. David turned around to face him.
"Salisa went to visit her dead husband's grave." David said. "She's coming over there soon."
"Quet and I came from her relatives house north of here." Michael said.
"They don't live in the city." James said.
"No." Michael said. "It's a small rural town called Meltion. She grew up there with them. Her aunt, Mataral, reminded me of my mother."
*****************************************
In the salon, Quetrina has just met up with Malida who was done with her new look. Her blonde hair was cut short in a bob cut and curled. That means Quetrina needs to get her look done post pronto. She needed to be in her formal dress as fast as she can. However, Malida tells her not to rush right away.
"Quetrina." Malida said, in Talionese.
"Hello." Quetrina said in Talionese. "I just saw James and David hanging out with each other."
She requested for her hair to be cut three inches from her natually long auburn hair. She also wants it to be real curly and shiny for her look. Salisa walked in the salon few minutes later, having to talk to another woman who made her realise that what happened to Farigor wasn't really her fault. Now she was ready to move on with her life.
"You finally came to terms with what happened to Farigor." Quetrina said.
"Yes." Salisa said. "It was so hard for me to go through that. I didn't want to lose David."
"You won't." Malida said.

During that time, Quetrina was done with her look and liked how the brightened her auburn hair and kept it's length. Then she took notice outside the window and her blood froze right away. A man from her past has taken notice of her and was still angry about what happened from a long time ago. He had light brown hair and green eyes. He stood around 6'4 as the normal in Talion Bei. Calaveros Quetrina thought. What the hell is he doing here? Why is he back all of a sudden? I told him to stay out of my life after we got arrested. He just doesn't get the clue. She saw him walk slowly away, but she knew his ploy very well. Calaveros wants her to come to him and she won't do it for his pleasure. She'll wait until he comes back then it'll be an all out fight between them.
"Who was that guy?" Malida asked, in Talionese.
"A guy you don't want to know." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "He was a guy from my past. I can't reveal all right now."
She walked out of the salon with her stuff and waited for Calaveros' return. At that time, Salisa pulled Malida into the back room to talk to her of Quetrina's past relationship with Calaveros. Once learning the truth, she was shocked to learn that her friend was a troublemaker. Outside the salon, he showed up, he was angry that she made him come to her, instead of the other way around. However, she didn't care anymore and gave him a dirty glare at him. He pulled that same stunt, but he couldn't hold it as well as she did.
"Well Well." Calaveros said, in Talionese. "If it isn't Quetrina Monayar. I'm real surprised to see you again."
"I wish I could say the same for you." Quetrina retorted, in Talionese. "Calaveros Monterron."
"That's Cavos to you." Calaveros shouted, in Talionese.
"Give it a rest." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "I told you to stay out of my life and you ignored me."
"Perhaps if you hadn't ratted me out the Feds, none of this would've happened." Calaveros said, in Talionese.
"I did the right thing, Calaveros." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "I was getting too old for the robberies and breaking the law. It was ok when I was 16, but I'm 23 and I gave that up when I was 18. I was tired of that life, so I told the truth in exchange that they gave me a lighter sentence."
"That was unacceptable and you knew that." Calaveros said, in Talionese. "You return to the lifestyle we used to live now."
"No." Quetrina said, in Talionese.
Michael left for the salon to check up on the girls to see if they're ok. During that time, he heard shouting coming from the front of the salon. He crept towards to notice Quetrina and Calaveros were arguing with each other. Michael had to find out about what happened and secretly knelt down enough to for the buildings to conceal his height. What he heard from Calaveros, angered him right away.
"And Why Not." Calaveros shouted, in Talionese. "Why the bloody hell not? Let me remind you, Quetrina that I can kill you."
"I know, but I'm not scared." Quetrina said. "It's been five years, Calaveros. Things changed I've changed. It's time to give this up now."
"Never." Calaveros said, in Talionese. "You...."
He tried to lunge at her in the hopes of killing her as revenge against her for having him arrested by the police in the first place. However, this proved to be his fatal mistake as Michael snatched him into his hand and raised him to his face. Calaveros was now scared to be around him big time, and tried in vain to loosen his grip. It didn't go anywhere as Michael's grip was firm on him.
"Wrong move, jerk." Michael said. "I should make you pay for what you did to her."
"She....." Was all Calaveros said.
Michael stood to his full height and tosses him out of the island. After what he did to Quetrina or tried to do to her, Calaveros would think twice coming after her. Unless he was looking forward to having to deal with her giant boyfriend. Once that was over, Quetrina walked over to his shoe and hugged it. This soften his expressions as she continued to hug his shoe.
She moved away as she saw Michael go on his knees and gently took her into his hand. Then he headed back into the house where he, David and James stayed with the girls, Joiva, and the orpahns. It was obvious that he wanted to know about Calaveros and what type of relationship she had with him that caused him to be very vengeful towards her. She knew why and was ashamed of her past relationship with him.
"Michael. "Quetrina said. "I have to tell you the truth, please don't say anything until I'm done.
"I won't Quet." Michael said.
"Calaveros was an ex-boyfriend of mine." Quetrina said. "I met him when I was 16 and in high school. He was 22 and had a rebelious streak that I found appealing at the time."
Flashback eight years ago
A 16 year old, Quetrina has just met 22 year old Calaveros after sneaking into an all male's club and was found out by the bodyguards and he was impressed by her stealth like appearance and intelligence. The males were not and tried to throw her out, but she was faster than them.
"I like your style." Calaveros said, in Talionese. "What's you name, pretty one?"
"Quetrina Monayar." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "And you?"
"Calaveros Monterron." Calaveros said. "I'm known as Cavos."
"That how I began my decent into trouble." Quetrina said, narrating as the flashbacks continued. "Calaveros and I were the Bonnie and Clyde of this island. We were getting into trouble with the law commiting bank robberies and other criminal activities. Eventually, at the age of 18, I grew tired of doing that. I wanted to go back to school and he wanted to make out with me in his home country, Peiros. I refused and turned myself to the police from Talion Bei. I would receive a lighter sentence if I told the truth."
Quetrina agreed and stood trial against Calaveros and plead guilty for the same charges he was being accused. He was upset and when he was found guilty, he swore revenge against her. He was jailed outside of Talion Bei in a jailhouse own by the Peiron empire. He didn't break out of jail until five years later, which Quetrina ended her story there. However by that time, he was force to encounter Michael.
"Wow." Michael said. "You were in all that mess."
"Yes." Quetrina said. "It was something I wasn't proud of overtime."
"I figured that." Michael said. "However, he'll leave you alone more."
"Yes." Quetrina said. "After you tossed Calaveros out and made him scared of you."
She felt him gently pick her up by her shirt and put her in his hand. Then he brought her closer to his chest to hug her. Quetrina felt guilty for her involvement with Calaveros, but she was also glad that Michael understood about the whole scenario about what happened to her. He's soo sweet Quetrina thought. She hugged him back the best way she could at her size. She tried to keep the tears from coming down her face.
"It's ok to cry." Michael said. "You don't have to hold back. I'll still be here for you."
Quetrina nodded as she cried on his chest. He comforted her throught the tough times she had told him about the story. It was pretty hard on her. Michael thought, comforting her. She's such a sweet girl and I would like to marry her. I know my parents would've liked her too if they were still alive. Knowing that David and James could be back with Salisa, Malida and the kids, he took her into his room and locked the door.
***********************************
"I know you're upset about what she did." Salisa said. "But she made up for all the things she did."
"I know." Malida said in Talionese.
David and James looked over as Malida and Salisa came out with their hair and nails done. They had to explain about what happened today about the whole Calaveros ordeal. They don't know how thye'll do it, but they must keep the young ones from knowing the truth. David put the kids into his pocket as he took her into his hand. James did the same thing and they both headed back to the house to get ready. It was probably better if they never knew about the whole scenario, unless Quetrina wanted to tell them about it.
"Did anything unusual happen." David said.
"Not much." Salisa said.
"Don't lie." James said. "We saw Michael grabbing some guy harrasing Quetrina."
"We were afraid this could happen." Malida said. "We'll tell you later."

"Who was that guy?" David said. "And what did he want with Quetrina?"
"We don't know." Salisa said. "I only know that he was someone who had a history with Quetrina. You need to find out from her."
"I see, Lise." David said. "We won't press the matter."
"Thank you." Malida said.
"Aye." James said.
She loked over to Salisa and hoped that Michael doesn't know about the whole scenario. Although it's also likely that Quetrina might tell him about the whole thing because of what he saw happen with her and Calaveros. I don't think I would blame Michael if he was very angry with her. Salisa thought. She has never told him about what happened five years ago. Although I'll be surprised if she does tell him the truth about what she did with Calaveros years ago.
"Does Michael know about this?" James asked.
"We just saw him grab some guy." David said. "And then toss him off the island."
"I meant has Quetrina told him." James said.
***********************************
Quetrina looked over at Michael as she saw him lock the door of his room. She was surprised how much he understood what happened to her and wasn't quick to judge her the same way other males were. The males' rejection towards her was one of her main reasons that she refused to marry, aside from Calaveros cursing her. However, his curse didn't affect her anymore since Michael arrived here.
"You know, they'll be asking about it." Quetrina said.
"It's your choice to tell David and James." Michael said. "I just don't prefer that they should know about it."
"I know." Quetrina said.
Quetrina noddded as she continued to hug his chest. She felt him sat down on a chair across the bed and stop hugging him for the moment and sat on his hand for a bit. Then she felt him lower his hand onto the table and she climbed off his hand. She wanted top give his hand a chance to rest after carrying her back to the house.
"You didn't have to climb off." Michael said. "I wanted to show you my desk."
"I know." Quetrina said. "But your hand must be tired of holding me for so long."
"It donesn't mean I am though." Michael said, teasing her.
"Now I know you're cheeky." Quetrina said.
"Really." Michael said. "I'm not trying to be."
"You don't have to try." Quetrina said. "You are, but you're also sweet and kind."
Michael gently scooped her into his left hand and lifted her to his huge handsome face. Quetrina had a fiery spirit which attracted him to her in the first place that he planted kisses on her right away. He always had his way in getting her to forgive him, which was all the time. She really couldn't help it, he was so handsome and sweet at the same time. However, they need to get ready soon and he knew that too. He stopped kissing her and brought her outside to the tiny house. He let her get dressed inside the house while he had to get ready himself.
"You're going to shower." Quetrina said.
"I might." Michael said. "By the way, I heard you calling my chest covered hair soft last night."
"Monteru du tan." Quetrina said, blushing. "But how did you..."
She didn't have to know the answer because it was obvious. She knew Michael had real good hearing and probably heard her last night. She really couldn't lie her way out of it, even if she tried because he knows about it. However, he'll deal with it later after the party and has to shower fast.
"David and James will be back soon." Quetrina said. "You should shower now."
"Now....." Was all Michael said.
He didn't argue with her as he unlocked the door of his room and headed into the bathroom to shower. She headed into the house to wash up too. Except Quetrina had to use an unused shower cap from one of the miads to keep her hair dry. Once done with his shower, Michael headed back into his room to get dressed in his tuxedo. He shaved off his beard and was clean shaven. However, Quetrina didn't have time to look up at him because she had to get dressed.
*****************************************
David and James came home with Salisa, Malida, Joiva and the orphan siblings. They figured Michael and Quetrina are getting ready for the party and they should too. David takes Joiva, Salisa, Liva and Zhabor into his room to get them dressed. James took in Malida and the older three into his room to do the same. He'll give the older three back to Michael later, but right now he needs to be ready too. Malida headed into the tiny house in his rooom with Dialla, Alabar and Niera. The three huing out in the living room as she got dressed in a light pink strapless gown with her other friends who were also maids too. They were real surprised at her transformation from a scullery maid into Cinderella.
"Wow." one of the maids said in Talionese. "From maid into a lady in a short amount of time. I don't believe it."
"I know." Malida said, in Talionese.
She had reunited with her siblings she thought she'd never see again, gained new friends both in and outside the giants house, was taught how to be a lady thanks to Quetrina's sister, Emuya, and even found love in James. Malida couldn't help it but actually see herself smiling for the first time in years. James finished up getting dressed in his tuxedo and peek into the tiny house in his room. The maids leave soon after seeing him. I'm a human being. James thought, before realizing that they consider giants like royalty. Still he wants them to see he's just a normal man, not a freakish monster who will attack them.
"I wouldn't worry about that." Malida said, coming out using the upstairs door that has a patio to it.
"I'll try." James said, his hazel eyes facing her.
*************************************
Quetrina got into her dress with ease with the maids helping her out. She was happy to see herself in her champagne colored halter dress with intricate beads and pearl lining. She liked her hair in it's curls and has more of a natural red tint. She peeked outside to see Michael finish up with his tuxedo and bushed further at him. He took notice of it and lowered his face to the window.
"I see you like it." Michael said, smiling.
"Of course." Quetrina said. "I have to finish though with my make-up."
******************************************
Salisa fit her dress with ease. It was a nice teal color against her dark skin. She feel herself smiling through that time as Joiva walked in wearing her pajamas. She shook her head as she told her that she and the orphans are coming too and they need to get dressed soon.
"I see." Joiva said, in Talionese. "Is David getting dressed?"
"Yes." Salisa said, in Talionese. "I suggest you do the same."
"I'll try though." Joiva said, in Talionese. "But I want to show you this though."
"Let me see." Salisa said, in Talionese.
She looked over the celebration party and found out it was not intended for kids because of the possible alcoholic drinks that would be added there.
"This is for adults only." Salisa said, in Talionese.
I know." Joiva said, in Talionese.
**************************************
"Our people look up to you, David and Michael as gods." Malida said. "That's why the others walked away."
"I could've asked them to." James said. "They didn't need to be afriad of me."
"I know." Malida said. "I wouldn't worry about it though. I have to finish up though."
James nodded as he headed towards the bathroom to slick back his hair as he was doing so, David headed towards him to talk for a bit. Malida was getting her make up done before her siblings came into her room. Dialla, Niera and Alabar got a look of their eldest sister in her dress.
***************************************
"Why?" Michael said. "You look beautiful without it."
"You are soo cheeky." Quetrina said.
"I'm not." Michael said, teasing.
"You are." Quetrina said. "Still think you're special to me."
Before Michael got a chance to speak, one of the maids asks her about her make up. She can talk to her boyfriend later, but her make up needs to be done. Quetrina sits down as one of the maids does her make up.
"Just remember." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "Don't make it too heavy."
"We'll try not to." one of the maids said, in Talionese.
She got her makeup done as Michael kept himself distracted by getting his hair done by combing his hair back. When Quetrina finished up, she looked outside the window as he added diamond cuffs to his sleeve s shirt. She came out onto the upstairs porch of the house.
"You could've told me about the diamond cuff links." Quetrina said.
"They were meant as a suprise." Michael said, smirking as he faced her. "I wasn't expecting you to be done though."
"I was done early." Quetrina said. "Talion Rose doesn't die down that easily."
"I figured that." Michael said. "Calaveros gave you that nickname didn't he?"
"I was never seen without my signature red rose." Quetrina said. "Plus I was given that for my eloquent speech. Fortunately, Calaveros never picked up what I really thought about him. He was handsome outside, but cruel and ugly on the inside."
"And me?" Michael asked.
"What do you think?" Quetrina said. "Cheeky at times, but handsome with in and out. Also I had to admit you were the first one who figured out how I felt without me knowing it."
"And you are strong willed, Quet." Michael said. "The first I've had that from you. The women I saw in England can't compare to you though"
"Even if they're bigger." Quetrina said.
"You have your impossible side, Quet." Michael said.
"So do you, Mike?" Quetrina said.
"Not all the time." Michael said, gently scooping her into his hand.

"Really." Quetrina said.
James walked into Michael's room as he saw them hugging each other. He decided against watching it, partly because Salisa told him the story about David watching Quetrina and him kiss. It would be disrespectful of me to spy on them. James thought, as Malida peeked out of his pocket. I really don't want to do that. Suppose that David and Michael did the same thing to me and Malida. I wouldn't like it at all.
"James, are you ok." Malida asked.
"I'm fine." James said. "I want to be a bit quiet about it."
"Sorry." Malida said.
He was about to head back to his room with Malida when Michael saw him and motioned him to come in. He saw us. James thought, entering his room. I'll have to explain myself to him. He probably won't be happy to know what I did. Quetrina climbed away from his hand onto his left shoulder as Michael faced James.
"I suppose you saw us." James said.
"Aye." Michael said.
"I never intended to something like this." James said. "Salisa told me the story about David a while back. I really didn't mean to see you two like this."
"I see." Michael said.
His friend wanted to know if Quetrina has told him the story about her and Calaveros. Because he and David were curious about it and Salisa and Malida wouldn't tell them. However, he didn't want to press the matter if Michael and Quetrina refused to talk about it. Still he had a bunch of unanswered questions about what happened in her tragic past relationship with Calaveros.
"Umm did...." was all James said.
"I know about the story of Quet and Calaveros." Michael siad.
"Quet?!" Jamses said, confused.
"Quetrina." Michael said. "Her friends and family had called her that. I have too. She told me about what happened."
"So, you know then." James said.
"Aye." Michael said. "She also mentioned how hard it was for the men here in wanting to marry her because they couldn't get over her past relationship with Calaveros. She cleaned up her act and he didn't."
"Did you meet him?" James asked.
"Aye." Michael said. "I met him today when he tried to hurt her. He got what he deserved when I tossed him out of the island. He won't even try to come for her again unless he was willing to face me again. The guy was a class-A psychopath."
"Not just that." Quetrina said. "Calaveros was also a womanizer who only wanted women for their looks. I know that because I refused to make love to him and he turned his attention elsewhere. I didn't come cheap back then and I won't now."
Malida and James began to understand Quetrina's terrible past with Calaveros as she relayed the story about what happened. She also mentioned about him and his horrible temper tantrums whenever things do go his way. Her involvement with him caused a lot of the men to steer clear from her and deemed her unsuitable to be married.
"That was harsh." James said.
"I know." Quetrina said.
She couldn't help but think about her older brother, Jainen and his decision. She knew he didn't want to marry and chose to leave for Peiros. However, she chose to stay and had to endured ridicule for being single. Her younger siblings married at 18 and her relatives are concerned that she'll remain a recluse forever like Jainen. Quetrina did want to marry, but with what happened to her, she felt like a failure. However, Michael came into her life and prevented her from going toward the life of a single recluse. Though he's a giant, she loved him right away and would never change it for anyhting else. She noticed Michael and James heading into David's room so the can help with their tuxedos.
"I think I understand you better now." Malida said, in Talionese.
"Yes." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "The men who tried to ridicule me again about Calaveros, found out the hard way what happens when they are at the wrong end of Michael's anger."
"They won't do it again." Malida said, in Talionese.
"They won't." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "I see you found out about Dialla and the others."
"Dialla and the orphans were my siblings." Malida said, in Talionese. "I didn't find out until I saw Liva and Dialla wearing locket of my parents picture on it."
"I see." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "My parents died at sea and I'm the older sister of Lairos, Emuya and Talos. However, I'm younger than Jainen who is the oldest in my family."
"Where is he anyway?" Malida asked, in Talionese.
"Living in Peiros." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "He chose not to marry and angered my relatives by having mistresses in Peiros. The only difference though is that he treats women with respect. On the other hand, Calaveros was a sexist."
It was true because she was a silent witness to what he was inside. Calaveros was flat out ugly on the inside which didn't reflect his handsome looks. Quetrina knew it was the opposite with Michael when she first met him. He was a giant, but he was handsome, smart and kind. He wouldn't get angry unless someone provoked him.
*************************************
David looked over as Salisa had to finish up with her make up so he decided to help Michael and James out with their bow ties. During that time, he noticed a ring on Michael's finger and was curious about it.
"I got it in Meltion." Michael said. "This was while Quet and I were visiting her relatives. The shopkeeper was having problems with it because it was blocking the back way"
"I see." David said.
"He wanted the help." Michael said.
"We better get going soon." James said.
"We will." David said. "Where's Quetrina and Malida?"
"In my room." Michael said. "You should get Salisa."
***************************************
In the prison away from Peiros on a plague island, Vontera, Calaveros makes his second attempt to escape again. He wants revenge against Quetrina for what happened years ago. However, her giant boyfriend, Michael poses a problem to his plans and it wouldn't look good. His last two attempts to make her pay by killing her using his giant ally, Eric, failed and now he has to take matters into his own hands. Calaveros reached the gondola and used it's oars to make it back onto Talion Bei.
"What an idiot." one of the prisioners said.
"There he goes again." another prisoner said. "Calaveros just doesn't get it and he's violated the plague pits again."
"He'll get what he deserves soon." a third prisioner said.
The prisoners took notice of the warden announcing another escape attempt and how the prision will be under lock down until prisoner 656 is returned to Bovena for additional charges against him. Calaveros reached the shores of Talion Bei, but was sent back to jail by the Talionese gaurds.
"You were an idiot." one of the prisioners said.
"Oh shut up, Metron." Calaveros said. "You should've kept your mouth shut."
"Maybe if you hadn't tied me and my brother to a chair." Metron said. "I wouldn't had talked."
"We will be adding additional charges on Bovena." the guard said, in Talionese."
Calaveros shook his head knowing one of the other prisoners he trusted had just ratted him out to the police. He'll give them a piece of his mind when he gets back.
************************************
David nodeed as he went into his room to retrieve Salisa. Michael and James headed back to his room to get both Malida and Quetrina. They put them in their lapel pockets and headed out for the celebration. Quetrina kept herself from looking down, by staying inside Michael's lapel pocket as she felt him walk. She knows Salisa and Malida are also feeling it too from David and James. To take her mid off it, she looked over at a black velvet box, but she left it closed, since she couldn't open it.
"Could he be proposing to me?" Quetrina said to herself in Talionese. "If so, I shouldn't get my hopes high. I could still face rejection and solitude for what happened. However, if I should marry, I might be the fourth one who has done the right thing."

Quetrina couldn't help it as she went back into her thoughts as from five years ago when Jainen and her angered their family by refusing to marry. However, her refusal was much more logical and understanding than his. She was afraid for the other prospect males dying on her in front of Calaveros should he had broken out of jail to get them. Jainen's was far more selfish because he wanted to have mistresses, but there was one thing that her relatives overlooked. She knew he didn't want to live forever for the rest of his life and would rather die as a human. She found herself on Peiros, when she was 22 and he was 25.
"I just don't want to marry." Jainen said, in Talionese.
"I know why." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "It had to do with mom and dad dying on us. Auncha wants you to marry soon."
"I won't marry." Jainen said, in Talionese. " We made a pact that we won't marry ever."
"I know." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "Time will be running out though on you and me. Eventually, you will have to grow up and realize that you have to marry soon."
"I rather die with a smile on my face." Jainen said, in Talionese. "I would rather have my freedom than live for all eternity.
Quetrina shook her head, now realizing that she can't run away from what's in front of her. I can't let this awful thought get the best of me. Quetrina thought. I really don't want Michael to pick up on what I'm feeling. For her, trying to supress how she feels is much harder on against Michael than Calaveros. It was obvious he knew what and how she was feeling without her knowing it. Despite the fact that Michael was a giant, Quetrina formed a special bond with him. Her ex-boyfriend never picked up on what she was thinking and that was the only thing that worked.
"I saw you looking at the black box." Michael said
"Oh really." Quetrina said. "I didn't open it though."
"I know." Michael said, smirking. "I plan to do something later on."
"Surprise me." Quetrina said.
Micahel continued smirking as he followed David and James to the giant table and conversed with them. Quetrina decided to not think about it so much and just enjoy herself as much as she can with them. During the celebration, the girls were having a good time with their dates. Quetrina needed to get her mind off a lot of the thoughts she had earlier on. She sipped some champagne as the party continued on. She isn't a big drinker herself, but she's worried about Malida who's constantly drinking alcohol. Salisa was too and pulls Quetrina away to talk to her.
"Quet." Salisa said in Talionese. "Im getting worried about her."
"I know." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "I've never seen her like this before."
"We need to get her away." Salisa said, in Talionese. "The question is how."
"We could tell James." Quetrina said, in talionese. "He might help us out."
"I know." Salisa said, in Talionese. "At the same time, I don't want to risk it. I don't know."
Before Quetrina could try to convince her friend to consider the consequences, the two guards asked them to escort her away from the party. However they didn't need to as James took Malida away before she could get herself into trouble. Quetrina could remember almost all the time that she had to bear witness to Calaveros being a drunkard. She never liked it at alland had to put up with him slurring and womanizing other women. Even he wouldn't be a welcoming sight, when she saw him again.
"Almost reminds you of Calaveros." Salisa said, in Talionese.
"Oh please." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "He was worse."
They headed back to enjoy themselves. Later on, the celebration ended and David took Salisa home and Quetrina almost expected Michael to do the same. Instead, he took her to a secluded place away from the city known as Pela Dimura(Lover's Peak). He sat down, next to the anchor statue, which Quetrina was on. He took out the black box and opened it. It was a diamond ring with her name on it and she was surprised. He's proposing to me Quetrina thought.
"Yes." Michael said. "I bought the ring hours earlier."
"Really" Quetrina said. "Well....."
Michael propsed to her right away as a man away sitting down on the bench had watched. He wanted to be away from what happened on Peiros. Quetrina was surprised and stunnded at first as Michael asked her to marry him. After some careful thought, she looked up at him.
"Yes, I will marry you." Quetrina said.
Michael smiled as she took her ring and put it on her ring finger. Sorry Jainen. she thought. It's my choice to marry now. I hope you understand soon. She knows her relatives and youger siblings will be happy with her. Jainen will pose as a problem for her. She'll have to consider what she'll say to him first. Quetrina decided to talk to Jainen about it first thing in the morning because he's the most difficult to and she's heading to Peiros. She turned her attention to Michael and hugged his face. He felt her let go of his face and kissed her head. They headed back to he house. On the way, the guy followed and Michael stopped and made a grab for him. Then he brought him closer to his face. Quetrina knew the man wored her brother's favorite black leather jacket. This was Jainen, her older brother.
"Nice try, Jainen." Quetrina said, in Talionese.
"Really, Quet." Jainen said in Talionese.
"Umm Michael this is my brother, Jainen." Quetrina said
Jainen took off his hood to face his sister in Michael's pocket. He knew she saw him and didn't need her to brag at him. He knows that her fiance was nice, but he still has his reservations. At the same time, he didn't even bother to ask about it.
"I take it you heard." Michael said.
"Yes." Jainen said.
He was upset that Quetrina even accepted the giant Michael's proposal and didn't stay true to her word to stay single. Once inside Michael's room, he put them outside the giant house and headed to the bathroom to change. David and James came in their pjs.
"You propsed to Quetrina didn't you." David said.
"Yes I did." Michael said. "I met her older brother, Jainen. Did you guys did the same?"
"I see." James said. "And yes we did."
*************************************
Inside the tiny house living room, Quetrina was washing up all the makeup on her face and changed into her nightgown.
"I can't believe you." Jainen said, in Talionese. "We made a pact five years ago that we won't marry ever, until Calaveros is gone. How could you do such a thing?"
"Jainen." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "When we made that pact five years ago, you were 21 and I was 18. You not marrying was ok for you, but it wasn't working out for me. Do you know what's it like to be called an outsider in your own home? I was getting sick and tired of being alone. I have until my 25th birthday to marry or I'll age."
"I know very well." Jainen said, in Talionese. "I wanted to marry someone I had common ground with, but I have five women to choose from and in Peiros it's ok to have five wives. I love all my womem."
"It's not ok here." Quetrina said, in Talionese. "You know what happened to the last guy who lived here. It's illegal and you could get fined here. You need to choose one or you could be arrested."
"They can't arrest me." Jainen said, in Talionese. "I'm a Peiran citizen. I could critisize you about Michael, but at the same time, I do respect your decision to marry."
"And I respect your decision too." Quetrina said, in Talionese."
