"Look at these mountains, my son, and tell me what do you think when you look upon them?" 

Standing atop the balcony of their palace, the younger of the two Goliaths looked to where his father pointed. All white eyes squinted in thought, focusing on what he was feeling. "Tall, strong, cold, indomitable." 

"Good, very good, my son." Placing a large gray hand upon his sons shoulder, the youth smiled while he explained further. "We are very much like these mountains, Setsua. Strong, tall, and indomitable. When we are together, we cannot be defeated. Just as Kuttachuic proved such strength when he liberated our people, so too will I when we reveal our might to the world outside of our mountains."

"But how, father? The outside world is so...dangerous." Fear was discouraged among the great nobility of the Guldani nation, but the stories he had heard were absolutely nerve wracking. 

"Yes, there is much to be concerned about, but I will show you something, my son, something I think will help ease your troubles." Together they went back into the palace, a shining jewel of the city of Chotallaki and the seat of the king's power. Jutkalla smiled as servants, soldiers and even other nobles bowed before him, showing respect as they should. Extravagant tapestries of rich, vibrant colors decorated the hallways, illuminated with torches safely spaced out as to not cause a fire. It was not long before they began descending, going down into the depths until they arrived at a special place the king installed. 

"What is this place?" Setsua asked.

There were many Goliath working around forges, carrying heavy loads of iron ingots to be melted down, then poured into casts. Hammers striking metal could be heard all over, creating something, something the prince could not think of. Wiping away the sweat quickly forming on his brow, he looked to his father for answers. 

"Where once we were reduced to placing Obsidian into wood, now we will have proper weapons and armor, as well as strong war machines." 

"War machines?"

He nodded, then guided him through the foundry, showing him the different parts being made. "Our enemies will do whatever they can to deny us our glory, which is why we must go further in our efforts to defeat them. If they do not wish to be part of out empire, then we will crush them beneath our feet." Looking to Setsua, the king laid down his question. "Do you believe yourself worthy enough to lead my armies into victory?"

Nervous, Setsua wasn't sure what to say, but he straightened up and replied. "Yes father, I am worthy. I will bring glory not only to you, but to our people as well."

"You make me so proud of you, my son." Swelling with pride, they walked back up to the palace proper. "In time, the world will bow to the might of the Guldani, or we will put them down."
