[color=violet]"You are stubborn beyond reason, Geode. You see no light because you choose not to. Until you do there will never be any hope for you."[/color] Oz stated. He bent his knees in a stance and brought his clenched fists to his sides. Power began to emanate from his figure. Oz was glowing. [color=violet]"You have limited yourself to only what your vain and cold imaginings could be when the world is so much more vast and plentiful than even you could know. A shorter life endears us to the power and passion of each passing moment. You wouldn't understand our light unless you chose to."[/color]

	Great pressure seemed to heave itself on Oz's shoulders as his energy spread wide into the air above them. [color=violet]"I, who have chosen to bear the weight of the world, will now humble a god's prideful corpse."[/color] The energy began to take the form of a colossal humanoid shape above him that seemed to stand atop the waves below. The platform they stood on suddenly halted, floating at the mid-section of the giant.

	The colossus slowly bent its back into the descending fortress, cradling the platform from falling dangers with its arms and heaving the massive castle upward. The giant lacked speed but it was clear what its strengths were. The strain on Oz was clear from just looking at him, every muscle was tense, his breathing was becoming more rapid. It were almost as if he were the very giant to move their danger aside.
