Concept Art: A Brief Encounter by ESPj-o on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

My own story:
There's movement in the Shadows. Bellowing from the deeps a giant creature rises. The lingering light reveals a giant nose and glimmering eyes followed by enormous tusks. Her heart is pumping faster and faster. This is it! This is what the village people warned her about. A Titan.

"Pray tell, fleshchild, what redemption does your race offer?"
"The fact that there will always be men like me who stand before beasts like you."

It stood before me, colossal in size, might, and presumably wisdom. It was old, very old. Timeless even. Such things as it were as old as the Earth itself, forged by the Gods themselves in the time of Harmony. Discord had destroyed the lands that it presided over but it still stood. A towering monument to the supremacy of Harmony in the world. Yet I had not come because Harmony was safe, no I had come because it's fate lay in the balance. It made a rumbling in it's chest. It was not the growl of the beast but rather the lament of the last member of the Old Guard. I smiled at it and spoke to it. Its eyes widened in astonishment. In them there was unfathomable loneliness, joy, sadness, and now there was hope too. There were no words exchanged yet I knew it understood. With no fear in my heart I opened my mouth and began to sing the song of Harmony. The song of the Gods themselves. My heart and my soul, poured into a song that I had been instilled with since my first breath burst forth. It's sound graced the ears of Creation for the first time in ages. Harmony rang forth across all things. Triumphant yet gentle. I felt my life begin to slip. As I fall, I have no regrets. As my sight fades I see the ancient thing, no longer dull and brown but rather shining radiantly in gold, beyond him the dusty dessert had turned emerald with life. Then all is warm and calm, I have been given peace
