<span style="color: #FF0000">Rezekiel looked up at the orc again, laughing softly. <br/><br/>"I think you'd be more the idiot to try and stop me," he said to him, looking completely indifferent to the hostile manner in which everyone gathered around was looking at him. Suddenly, however, the orc leader, along with everyone else, walked away back into whatever hiding place they had crawled out of. <br/><br/>Once again, Rezekiel felt slightly unsettled. There was something strange in their behavior, almost as if they were not truly in command of their actions. Looking up towards the mountain again, Rezekiel knew that he was likely meddling with something that he shouldn't be. That, however, only made things more exciting. What else did he have to live for, anyway?<br/><br/>He continued the long trudge up towards the peak of the mountain, wondering how much longer it would take to discover something noteworthy. It was getting colder, a fact that he resented very strongly. The temperature made him feel numb and stiff, and it forced him to stay on the move and be active to keep his own body temperature at warmer levels.<br/><br/>"Why is this mountain so fucking cold?" he asked himself.<br/><br/>He heard a strange rumbling from the side of the mountain, causing him to look up. The side of the mountain looked oddly shaped for a moment, not really matching the features the rest of the mountain had. Suddenly, it started moving in a strange manner, as if it had a life of its own. Rezekiel continued to watch in surprise as a humanoid figure separated itself from the mountain, all ice and snow. <br/><br/>"Oh fuck..." Rezekiel cursed to himself, drawing his sword and preparing his stiff body for an attack. The giant, or whatever it was, clearly resented it being in its territory.<br/><br/>"This mountain breeds some crazy shit," he said under his breath as the giant swiped down at him with its hand, trying to grasp him and most likely crush him between its fingers. Rezekiel jumped backwards, missing the swipe and slashing out at the hand with his sword. He heard some pieces of ice break, and it seemed to pain the giant, but for the most part it was probably little more than a scratch.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">This might take a while...</span></span>
