I nodded h the forest leaving behind the carcass of a man that had been asthe island even now

We h the forest It was trickier once we cleared the forest, but these were the sleep hours and no one appeared to be out and about

We reached the caves where the slaves were held, but drew up before stepping out into the open because of an unwanted sight A giant was sitting up against the side of the wall just to the right of the cave that had iron bars running across the front of it

The giant's loud snores rent the still air in an aay

I looked froain It was apparent that the giants did not want a potential upco food supply to escape froiant in contemplation of what the best way to kill him would be He was liable to make a fuss, perhaps even overpower us before we could deliver a killing blow

It was best that aited for the diversion to begin and I said as much to those around me Hopefully once the coiant would rush off to investigate and leave his post wide-open

I felt that it was our best hope for success, because if we tried to kill the giant in his sleep and he was able to get out a bellow then all of the giants would be down upon us like a sta herd of elephants I wanted the slaves to knoas up though before everything got started

As quietly as I could I crept up to the bars of the cave cell alone It was dark inside and I couldn't see anyone, but I didn't want to call out for fear of waking the giant Then suddenly a figure nized her as Mandy

I breathed a sigh of relief

Mandy and soainst the bars to hear what I had to say, "Do you still have the keys Mandy?" I whispered out

Wordlessly she pulled theoing to be difficult, but I need you guys to wait in here a little longer, because we have to get rid of hiiant who could have sawed mature redwood trees in half with the force of his snores
