When the knight wondered why a giantess would wander into the Land of Light, Eskea said: "Well for the first 18 or 19 years of my life I was stuck in a village of my kind. I felt I was held prisoner there. Not because giants felt that I shouldnt see the outside world but they worshiped me as a goddess because they didn't understand magic, alchemy or mechanics which I all had knowledge of. One day, while I went to fetch herbs, a fire broke out in the village killing everyone. It might have been a fire demon which overwhelmed the villagers. But that gave me the change to go out into the world and gather knowledge. I learned from many and my knowledge grew. I even found a cure for the blue fever. After about twelve years of traveling around, I ended up here."

She had lied about two things: The fate of her village and how she acquire knowledge that didn't come from books. She had actually killed her entire village herself and consumed people heads and therefore their knowledge with a dark magic spell which created a hand of dark matter that concealed the heads of the people and when going away, the heads were gone. To be honest, even though Eskea is intelligent and beautiful, she turned out to be more evil in certain ways than the average giant.

"I also came here because of the food. People here are so tasty." She then paused for about ten seconds to wait for the look on the knight face before laughing and saying: "I am just joking. I am well aware of the rumors that humans tell about giants. My name is Eskea by the way. And yours?"
