I am a giant who must protect all races from the greatest aberrations.
Alone.
I have felt this way since I locked myself in this cage. It has been so long, and all I want is to leave here, but I can't. Every so often, a portal appears, and it transports horrifying beasts, abominations I call them, as they are indescribable. If I let them out, there will only be destruction and suffering for the living beings that inhabit this place. Perhaps there will be some resistance, but it will be useless; they always come back.
I want to leave this cage, but I must not do it for my brothers; I sacrificed myself for them. Although I don't know how much longer I can endure, I feel tired. My forged armor has cracks, and each time, I need more mana to maintain this cage. All I want is for this to end.
There is no one I can talk to; all my happy memories are blurry, and the only thing I can do is fight. Every time I don't want to fight, I see the visions I had before. In those visions, I can see everything that these abominations are going to do to this world full of life. I am here to prevent it, but for how much longer...?
