Chapter 3: A Feast Fit For A Giantess

————

With the newfound red parrot sitting peacefully on Petra's shoulder, she gave it a smile as her big feet stomped and banged through the grass. Petra looked behind her shoulder to see her huge footprints embedded into the soil. Since she no longer felt scared and over-dramatic about being fifty feet tall, seeing her giant tracks buried into the ground felt quite satisfying to say the least.

The breeze of the wind came through her toes and the blades of grass tickled her soles a bit... but Petra's stomach continued to growl and gurgle and she still had yet to find something that she could eat.

"Oh yeah! Maybe I should give you an actual name, huh, Mr. Parrot?" Petra asked the vibrant bird who chirped in her giant ear. "Should I call you Paulie?"

Shaking it's head in disagreement, the parrot let out angry chirps at her. Perhaps she shouldn't give him a name that's so basic.

"Einstein? I personally think you look like a pretty smart parrot."

The parrot shook it's head again, so maybe he didn't like to be named literally either.

"Chirpie?" Now she was really getting desperate to come up with good names for her new parrot.

It chirped very madly at her, shrugging down at her shoulder. What the heck was she supposed to name him then?!

"Well, how about..." Petra put her finger on her chin to think of a decent name for the small pet. "Crimson?" Smiling at the parrot with pride this time, she was almost certain that she picked the right name for it.

Seeming glad to have that name picked for him, Crimson flew up to the sky as he let out happy chirps and sat back down on Petra's shoulder.

"I'm glad you love that name, little buddy. Crimson it is." The giantess smiled at the happy bird as she stroked it's feathers with her giant index finger. Her stomach growled again. It was really getting desperate for something she could feed it...

"Man, I'm still unbelievably hungry..." Petra sighed, rubbing her gurgling tummy. She sat down on the grass and contemplated where she should go from here. Petra and Crimson had already gone through endless amounts of forests and her feet had gotten so dirty from walking on nothing but soil that it was almost ridiculous. Not to mention that her towering legs were exhausted and almost killing her by this point... "Hmmmm... I don't see anywhere to go from here. Do you, Crimson?"

The brightly-coloured parrot chirped at the giant redhead as if to say "No, I don't."

"Oh! I probably should've mentioned this but earlier, my name's Petra." She beamed at the bird sitting on her warm skin. "Hopefully we can get along like best friends until I have to get back to my normal size and say goodbye to you."

The cute bird smiled at Petra as she stood back up and began to walk around aimlessly again.

————

Petra had been walking with Crimson on her shoulder for half an hour, and her legs were about to give in and collapse at any moment. She was hot, exhausted, sweating all over her almost-naked body, and her stomach was growling very aggressively now.

"Just... please... give me something to eat already..." Petra panted before she saw a small village in front of her. Needless to say, she was extremely relieved to see a place that might have food for her. Obvious chances are the people living there might immediately attack her like she's this huge disgusting monster, but on the other hand...

"Hey! Maybe that village will have something for me to eat!" Petra beamed, pointing at it. That's when she happily ran over to the village, her giant feet creating massive tremors as she continued to make huge footprints in the soil I was running on.

Crimson chirped desperately in her ear, almost as if he was trying to say that he was against this idea.

"Oh come on, Crimson!" Petra laughed, looking back and forth between the village and her trail of footprints. "Aside from being seen as this big, evil giant woman again, what could possibly go wrong?"

Of course, just when she had to say that, the villagers, who all wore brown robes, turned around and saw this unknown gigantic redhead running towards their territory. They all let screams of terror as they ran back into their homes.

"Guys, don't run away from me! I'm not what you think!" Petra yelled after it was too late, skidding to a stop in front of their tiny stone well. "Guys? Come out, come out, wherever you are..." She carefully scanned the village to see that no-one was out in the open. "Come on, don't be scared! I'm not gonna hurt you!"

"Hurr hurrrrrr!" She heard a mumbling voice shout from behind her.

"Huh?" Petra muttered, quickly turning around to see two villagers holding their bows and aiming at her. They fired their arrows at her as fast as she turned to look at them and the tips ended up digging into the sides of her torso

"Owwwwww!"

Thanks to the pain of having such sharp tips dug into her skin, Petra tripped off of the small gravel road and accidentally destroyed the villagers' well under her colossal ass, which ended up making a splash on her panties. Struggling to get back up, she let out a cry of pain as she rubbed her head and Crimson let out a frightened chirp, flying off Petra's shoulder and up to the sky.

"Crimson, come back!" Petra screamed, watching the red parrot fly away from the action.

More villagers holding swords and bows began to circle around Petra, ready to make their moves on her if she did something wrong. Gasping and gulping in fear, Petra quickly laid her head back and waited for what they had to say to her. Her whole body felt like it really wanted to shake right now, despite how much she was trying to tell it not to.

"Hurr hurm hurr hurm, hurr hurm hurr hurr hurr hurm?!" A villager in pink robes (supposedly a priest) standing inbetween the titan's feet asked her.

Petra gulped once more and let beads of nervous sweat run down her forehead before I gave her response. Thank god she read all of Beacontown's books on Villagerese to understand their language completely...

"Uhh... A-hurr hurm hurr hurr hurr hurm" Petra said for "I'm just very hungry" in response to the priest's "Giant woman, what is your business here?!" question. But to her unfortunate dismay, Petra's stomach started growling again, which caused the surrounding villagers to become skeptical of her. They all gasped as the priest turned away from her and made dramatic gestures with his arms.

"You see, everyone?! This evil giantess has actually come here to eat us all!" The priest murmured in Villagerese. "Kill this monster before she can have us for dinner!"

Raising their swords and arrows to the sky, the villagers all let out ferocious battle cries and began to close in on Petra.

"No no no! Get away from me!" She screamed, darting up from the ground in a freak sweat and jumping out of the villager circle.

BOOM!

When both of her feet were firmly planted back on the ground, the whole world shook and every villager fell, getting covered in gravel. Petra started panting in shock as everyone got back up and wiped the gravel off their dirty clothes as they coughed.

"Vanquish this demon from our hometown!" The priest shouted again, urging the angry villagers on to pick up their weapons and hunt Petra down.

"Please, don't do this!" The fleeing giantess shrieked, backing away from the relentless mob. "Guys, I'm really not what you think I am! Whoa!" Petra ended up tripping butt first onto the gravel path, and she couldn't do anything but watch as the villagers rushed at her with their swords and bows. She quivered up, ready to embrace her death until...

"Hey! You all stay away from this poor giant woman!" She heard a young, feminine voice squeal. To her surprise, she was quite shocked to find that a little girl wearing green robes was willing to defend her from a mob of ruthless citizens like this. "What do you guys think you're doing? She only said she was hungry, and because her stomach growled, you all think she's going to eat you?! No! I can prove that she's a nice giant, and none of you meanie beanies can stop me!"

"Suzy! What did your mother tell you about arguing with people you don't know?!" The little girl's mother shouted as she grabbed her daughter by her skinny arm and scolded her. Suzy's mother was also wearing green robes to match the colour of her daughter's.

"Stop it, Mom!" Suzy yelled, breaking free of her mother's grip. "Mean people like you are the reason why this giant girl's scared of us! They all judged her unfairly!"

"Don't talk back to me like that, missy!" Suzy's mother snapped, grabbing her arm again. "Do you want me to send you to bed early?!"

"But you guys don't understand!" Suzy cried, trying to break free of her mother's tight grip but to no avail. "What if she's actually a nice giant like in those bedtime stories you read to me?"

"Don't be ridiculous, Suzy!" Her mother yelled again, letting go of her daughter for seemingly no reason. "Those giants in your storybooks may be nice to humans, but in reality, these monsters will gobble us up like we're merely candy with legs and arms to them!"

"Everyone please stop making these allegations about me!" Petra suddenly burst in using the villagers' language, which caused them all to look up at her. "I'm really not the kind of giant you all think I am! Why the heck would I want to eat you guys?! Even though I've never tasted humans before, I probably think you'd taste disgusting! Not good for my health at all!"

"Wow! She can even speak our language!" Suzy happily gasped with stars in her ocean blue eyes. "And do you see, Mommy? She's not interested in eating us!"

"Suzy, I really don't know what you're trying to prove..." Her mother groaned. "So she wouldn't dare to eat humans. What does that prove?"

"Tell us more about yourself, Mrs. Giant!" Suzy jumped in delight, waiting for Petra to enlighten the town with her trivia. Suzy's mother sighed and looked down at the gravel path, completely dumbfounded at her enthusiastic daughter.

"Well..." Petra muttered, stumbling for words until she decided to stand up on her own two feet and loom above the village. Suzy and everyone else gasped when they saw her reveal my tremendous height. "My name is Petra, mighty goddess of Beacontown. I don't pride myself on eating those who are only as tall as my ankles. I instead insist on giving them a helping hand and defending them in their hour of need. I only dine on the same food as they do, because everyone should be allowed to fit in despite how different they are. Sure, I can accidentally scare them from time to time, but despite my intimidating appearance, I am indeed a nice giant. Thank you all for your curiosity."

Okay, well... the whole goddess thing she did kind of make up along with giving citizens a helping hand since she had yet to do that... but hey, she had to be at least a bit honest to save her skin somehow.

And just like that, the villagers lost their angry faces and dropped their weapons, giving birth to a series of metallic clangs as their tools hit the ground.

"Oh. Uhh... I'm really sorry. Forgive us, Petra." The priest muttered as he joined the crowd of now passive villagers. "We... had no idea we weren't part of your diet..."

The looming giantess let out a casual laugh as she crouched down at the sympathetic priest. "Apology accepted, my kind sir." Petra smiled at him.

"So now that we know your true intent was not what we previously assumed, what would you like from us?" The priest replied.

Petra's stomach gurgled in front of everyone again. Even simple words couldn't be enough to express how hungry she was at the moment. "Well, to tell you the truth..." Petra started in embarrassment. "I simply wandered all over the place because I'm hungry... I was so desperate for food that I came here wondering if you guys had any to keep me fed. You think you can fix me up with anything? You're probably gonna need a lot because this is one huge stomach I've got here..." She playfully slapped her growling tummy to prove her point.

————

Before she knew it, Petra was sitting in front of a crowd of villagers who offered her their bread, apples, and any other type of food they could find.

"Thank you very much." The polite titan said to the farmer in brown robes before politely taking the bread out of his hands with her huge fingers and putting the tiny loaf into her mouth, swallowing it whole with a single gulp. Letting out a sigh of satisfaction, Petra rubbed her stomach and looked up to the sky. "Mmmmmm... delicious. You guys sure know how to make a giant well fed."

"Heh... anything for one who was able to prove their innocence." The farmer chuckled, walking out of the crowd since he just had his turn to feed her.

Suzy, who was sitting on Petra's right foot, got up and pointed at her toenails with a curious look on her face. "Petra, why are your toenails black?" She asked the giantess, rubbing the largest one as she looked up into her big chocolate eyes.

"Haha... To put it simply, I was a very rebellious girl even when I was little." She said with a smile. Petra proceeded to kindly take the villagers' food and eat it while she talked to Suzy. "I wasn't into stuff like makeup or dresses like all the other girls I knew were. They only cared about wearing pink clothes with sparkles and glitter all over. Eugh... In response, I would usually boast about how different I was from the other girls, donning dark clothing such as a black vest, sleeve and combat boots. I was quite hotheaded and feisty really... I even went as far as to say I wanted to be a brave and fearless warrior when I grew up, but of course, they all laughed at me and thought I was being an idiot. Too bad they didn't know that I actually got there in the future."

"So are these black toenails the closest thing you've done that could be considered makeup?" Suzy asked, happily rolling on her big foot.

"Yes, Suzy. After I painted them black, I told myself not to go too far with my sense of fashion." Petra laughed, wiggling her toes.

"Cool..." Suzy glamorised, getting off Petra's foot before her smile could drop. "But what happened to all those clothes you talked about? The vest, the sleeve, the boots... Did you lose them?"

"Well, not really..." Petra pondered before sighing at the ground. "The truth is... I was actually just as tall as you guys, living my life like any other normal person would, but when I ended up drinking a growth potion by accident, all of my clothes ripped off my body as I grew to the size I'm at now. All that remains of them are my black bra and panties unfortunately."

"So wait... you aren't actually a goddess?" The priest asked from below.

"No... I kinda made that stuff up on the spot... Sorry, guys..." Petra said in embarrassment, scratching the back of her head.

"Well, goddess or not, you're certainly the kindest giant that's ever visited us!" Suzy exclaimed, jumping up and down near her feet.

"Thank you, Suzy." Petra smiled, stroking her with her large index finger. The small girl giggled in response to this.

The rest of the day went by with the villagers continuing to feed Petra with bread, apples and melon slices. These foodstuffs were all very small compared to her so it took a very long time until she finally gave in and declared her stomach full again. I spread her long legs and laid down on the gravel as she pat her full tummy and sighed in satisfaction.

"Thank you, guys..." Petra said, looking at the falling sun as the sky started to turn from blue to black. "Oh! Have any of you seen Crimson, my pet parrot? He flew away when I was getting attacked earlier."

Lo and behold, she heard flapping wings and the vibrant parrot came flying back to Petra and sat on her shoulder. It gave her a very happy chirp, clearly glad to see her again.

"Hello Crimson, little buddy! I've missed you!" Petra cooed, watching the small guy trying to nibble her big fingers.

"Is that your parrot?" One of the farmers asked.

"Why yes, he is." Petra replied, presenting him to the whole village. "This is my good friend, Crimson. I met him when I was all alone and cast off by the people who were scared of me. I decided to make him my pet because I needed someone to vent my problems out to. Even though I don't speak parrot, he's still nice to have around on casual strolls."

Crimson chirped at everyone in front of Petra and the villagers exploded with a series of "Awwwww"'s and big smiles on their faces.

"Well, I think it's time for me to find somewhere to sleep." Petra grunted, stretching her back as she sat up from the gravel. "Good night, everyone. I hope you all have sweet dreams about me."

"Goodbye, Petra!" Suzy said as her feet travelled across the villagers and she walked out of the town.

"Goodbye, guys! Thank you for your kindness!" Petra replied happily, waving back at Suzy.

"You're welcome, Petra! You've proven yourself to be a very nice giant!" Suzy's mother said.

Petra's big feet scrunched through the gravel and grass as she walked away from the village and happily looked back at it, seeing that Suzy was crouching down in front of one of her footprints in the gravel. "Wow... it sure is interesting to see what a giant's footprint looks like..." She said to herself, sticking her fingers in the crater.

Petra gladly sat down, laying her back on the blanket of grass with her large legs spread wide. Crimson flew off her shoulder and onto her tummy, snuggling into his wing and closing his eyes with a tired series of chirps. Petra too let out a yawn and smacked her lips as her eyelids started to seemingly force themselves to close.

"Good night, Crimson..." Petra yawned at the snoozing parrot on her stomach. She turned to look over at the village and said "Good night, everyone..." before staring up at the moon again and shut her eyes, snoring in her sleep until she lost all control of her body for the night.
