As the circle cleared, a figure stood up in the middle, rising to a full seven feet tall and revealing a massive frame to match his height. He wore robes that could be vaguely recognized as those worn by [i]sohei[/i], warrior monks of a bygone era and though the massive man hardly seemed to be a religious type his towering body did seem like it fit a warrior.

As he reviewed him and took in the man's exclamation of surprise, a puzzled look came over the giant monk's face as if there remained some element of the situation still beyond his understanding. After a moment of silent study of the magus before him, a grin like lightning suddenly split his face. The voice that followed was thunder.
