Expectations were high for the next round of the hunt. Not only were the Gargantua
extra rabid this year, but a being of unfathomable circumstance was rumored to be competing today. Aberashians and tourists flocked to the arena.
"Spectators of The Hunt!"
A singular voice rang through the massive Arena, pausing for a few moments for the thousands to settle.
Have you heard the rumors?!
The crowds went absolutely wild.
"Are you prepared to witness The Divine?!
Half the crowd roared with delight, the other half screamed skepticism.
"Let The Hunt commence!"
A hush enveloped the arena, all eyes on where the Champion would enter from.
"Welcome to The Stage....Yvandir!"
Normally the ground would be shaking with the chaos of the crowd, but instead the arena was a deafening silent. Everyone sat at the edge of their seats, if they weren't hanging over the rails, to be the first to see the rumored God Champion.
Behind a giant grate at one far end, a Gargantua waited patiently for the gate to open. The Gargantua was named
Li Xi and she was 58 feet tall. She had eight spidery limbs, wiry and quick. At the end of the two legs closest to her face were special pincers. They secreted a substance almost like a spiders web, which burned to the touch. While she couldn't produce much of it, the strange mutation gave her a slight advantage against the Hunters who had taken her in.
