Its that time again, and heres the next installment of my story...enjoy!


CRASH! A boulder the size of a small barn slammed into the side of the mountain Bador Bloodaxe stood upon. He leapt further up the steep incline, dodging the large rock mass, and towards the foe he was to face. A little over a hundred yards up the mountainside, was a Hill Giant of enormous size, flinging chunks of stone at the dwarven warrior that quickly advanced upon him. Bador dodged another boulder, then jumped into a small rift in the mountain for cover. More rocks flew over his head as he took a small throwing axe from his belt. He gave a great leap out of his hiding place, and threw the axe straight at the giant. A moment later, the huge creature cried out in agony, looking down at the small bladed weapon stuck in its knee. It pulled the thing from its joint, then threw it aside, shattering it. The giant gave a terrible roar, one that would curdle the blood of any lesser warrior than Bador Bloodaxe, then charged diown the hill at the dwarf, ignoring its injury. With a grimace, Bador quickly pulled a large stone a little smaller than his own head from his pack. The stone looked normal enough, but after Bador whispered something to it, the thing seemed to come alive, making uniteligible noises and attempting to fly from the dwarf's grasp.

"Wait for it..." Bador commanded the stone while watching the fast approching giant, and the stone quieted slightly. The massive creature running at Bador made the entire face of the mountain shake as it went, pounding the stone with its weight. Dust and small stones flew up at its feet, showering Bador as it got closer. When the Hill Giant came within twenty feet of it's target, it stopped, sliding down the mountainside a little. It leaned over and picked up another large boulder, then lifted it over it's head, ready to crush the dwarven warrior. Bador siezed this moment of vunerability, heaving the rock in his hand at the giant. Instead of falling to the ground like any other normal stone would, the rock continued to fly straight at the giant, gaining speed even as it went. With a resounding Crack, the stone hit the giant in the head, killing it instantly. Its body slid down the steep ground it had stood on, resting not far from Bador. The dwarf raised his hand high above his head, fingers outstretched, and called for the stone. It flew back with great speed towards its master, hitting Bador's hand eagarly. Bador put it away in his pack, then took out another, larger hand axe. He moved to the dead giant, maintaining his usual stoic silence, and started to slice his way through it's thick neck. A few bloody moments later, the dwarf held the large monster's head in his hand, a proud grin forcing its way onto his face.
