How in the world did she get herself into this mess, oh yeah, she decided it was a good idea to take a tour with a tour guide known for losing people,IN FUCKING GIANT TERRITORY! The hell was she thinking? She heaves a sigh continuing to mental beat herself up, the legs of her pants covered in mud while her shirt and hair are soaked with rain so cold it feels like ice, she's hugging herself and her posture had slumped in an attempt to keep warm as she continued to walk deeper into the forest hoping she'd find the path back but even now she knew she was not going to be able to keep moving soon.
 
She doesn't know how far she walked or how long it took her to reach this large clearing but she feel her legs finally gave out, rain poaring down and thunder shaking the ground as she collapsed backwards on wet grass close to passing out, dirt long since washed away from her clothes and feeling like her head is filled with fog, the unfamiliar trees surrounding not giving an indication of a path to go, she hears thunder crash and the ground shaking harder, she wonders idley why she hasn't seen any lightning. So why is the ground shaking so much?
 She realizes then that it's not thunder, it's footsteps, big ones coming this way, she doesn't have the energy to move, she'll either die from exposure or the giant heading the this way stepping on her, her breathing is shaky, and she closes her eyes waiting for doom, but just as the footsteps reach and the ground reverberates air blowing past her they stop a good 8ft away and she hears a male voice speak in a playful voice above her "Ahh, what's dis den?" She opens her eyes just in time to see the giant's hand a feet away and coming closer, she expects to be squished, she does not expect it when the male digs his fingers lightly into the soft ground and scoops her up her limp body, one of her legs dangling off his hand and her back leaned against curled finger as he lifts her upward to his face, her sight is blurry and she can only make out colors, his face a blur of pale skin, red, and three areas of gold.
 "Well now seems I caoehght a wee mouse." His voice is closer, the heat of his hand warming up her back and with barely any energy left she snaps back "m not a fucking mouse." She hears him chuckle "hm? Looks like she's feisty, even if she's so cahld she can't mahve." She figures he's going to kill her anyway her weaken voice still allow her to sass just a bit more "Can move enough to kick your ass." She feels him shake with laughter as he chuckles again instead of just squeezing her till her spine snaps, "Ooo I like you." Wait what? "I dink I'll take you 'ahme wit me and we'll figure ooeht what to do wit you dere" we'll? She finally feels him close his hand around her but he shifts her as he does while standing up from his crouched position, she feels like a small doll,her torso firmly gripped and her the lower half of her legs dangling out from his hand, his thumb in front of her face as she finally passes out.
 She wakes up later on a soft surface to the sound of two males talking in the the background "-she'd be too weak right now. let's feed 'er, let 'er warm oehp and gain 'er strength back first alright?" An unfamiliar voice says, "Alright, fine. We'll wait." a more familiar yet disgruntled sounding voice replies. She shifts around and attempts to get up before she hear the unfamiliar voice speak again while she feels a large finger press down on her chest against her skin with just enough force to make her lay down again without breaking anything "Nahne o' dat now lass oehnless you want to make yooehrself seck. You've been ooeht lahng enooehgh to show clear segns o' 'ypahthermia." She looks past the giant's finger to see the man's face, her vision now clear, a sharp jawline, ivory skin, eyes red as blood staring down at her, a soft look attached to a handsome face that would be frightening if it showed anger, his hair is a soft shade of blue and hangs down near her in a braid.
 "She awake already?" she glances in the direction of the more familiar voice, it's the giant who found her, what was once a blur of colors take the form of a young man with hair the color of fire, tipped with woven sunlight, eyes like a hawk, the color of molten gold, his skin is a similar tone to firsts...she think she'll call the both of the men Red and Blue since she doesn't know their names yet. Blue, his finger still pinning her turns his head to address Red "No danks to you, she'd be in better shape if you 'ad taken de time to warm 'er oehp while brengin 'er 'ere."
She doesn't know quite how to react to this. As the men continue to make jabs at each other she decides to ask them the question that's on her mind "Where am I? why am I not dead yet?" Her voice soft and small. Red turns his attention to her from where he sitting propped on the edge of something wooden and Blue looks down at her again, Red replies to her question with a question with deadpan voice while blue gives her a straight answer.
 "Do you want to be dead?" Red asks his voice light and airy like a forest, Blue's voice is calm and deep as the sea "Ahn a table, in ooehr 'ouse, wrapped in de 'ood o' me cloak dat was de first din I grabbed when I saw 'ow wet and shiverin you were when dis asshahle" he gestures to Red "'ere first brooehght you in." Then raises an eyebrow stating " I'm soehrprised you 'aven't said anythin abooeht bein naked yet." in a tired sounding voice she replies "Isn't stripping wet clothes off and getting somewhere dry part of hyperthermia treatment? Is that not normal?" This causes the corners of Blue's lips to twitch upwards while Red bursts out laughing.
 "Soehppahse it is, ain't it? Dooehght a wee lettle lass like you wooehld be mahre panecked to fend 'erself in de 'ahme and 'ands o' a pair beg lads like oehs" Blue answers her in a light tone of humor in his voice. "Eh, too tired to give a shit..and stop calling me little or I'll bite that finger of yours" she speaks keeping an even voice, Blue chuckles looking to Red he tell him "You're right, dis lass is feisty" He lifts his finger off her as he turns his attention to her again and waggles his finger at her "Now you stay right 'ere lass, I'll get you sahmethin warm to fell you oehp." He stands up from where he was sitting and walks off waving a hand and looking over his shoulder at Red "Make sure she stays poeht." Before he leaves the room.
 Red slides over to sit close enough that his hand is a few feet away from her, grinning down at "Looks like 'e likes you too." He tells her and she glares at him "Fuck off" she says without any hint of venom, just a tone of light annoyince, he playfully gasps pretending to clutch his heart, "Is dat 'ow you repay de man dat saved you? I can dink o' anahther type o' payment I wooehld wooehld prefer." He says while leering at her tiny form before hearing Blue yell from the other room "I said watch 'er! naht 'arass 'er" The man huffs in response placing his hands back down on the table, "Alright already! Stahp naggin me!"
 It only takes a moment for Blue to return to holding something pinched between the fingers in one of his hands he moves to sit back down and elbows "Move over" Red hisses through his teeth from the force of it and moves, Blue dips his hand underneath her back and uses it to help her into a sitting position, she uses one of her arms to keep a piece of bundle of cloth over her chest as he places a thimble full on broth in her lap, he doesn't move his hand, allowing her to lean against it, she can't help but notice how warm his skin, but tries to ignore it as she begins to drink the warm broth.
 "So what brooehght you all de way ooeht 'ere lass?" Blue questions her and her passive mask that had given nothing away shatters as she slumps forward reality of everything she's been through hitting her full force all at once, her lips curling back forcing a tight smile on her face as her eyes begin to water, she stays silent for a moment running a hand through her hair she barely chokes it out, her voice cracking as the words leave her tongue "Heartbreak" the tears begin to trail down her cheeks as she squeezes her eyes shut and tries to wipe them away. She doesn't notice the gestures the two men make at each other as she continues and her tears begin to blind her, "there was a man, I loved him but he used me. Tossed me aside as soon as he had gotten everything he wanted out of me and I found him dick deep in another woman. Then I ran. "
 
Blue's face shifts into tightened expression as he curls his hand around her a bit more, lips pulling back teeth bared as he points towards her with an open hand looking straight at Red anger clear in his narrow glad. Red pulls back an intake of air through his teeth as he grimaces, his lips turning into a soft frown and he rubs the back of his neck turning away to avoid making eye contact with either of them and leaving the room...
 Blue takes a deep breath and rubs her back with his thumb keeping his voice gentle to avoid making her skittish due to the level of rage he feels right now "Well dat tells me why you're 'ere, boeht you mend me askin 'ow? After all lass, can tell by de way you speak you aren't frahm anywhere arooehnd 'ere." At this question he hears her laugh lightly, a soft more natural smile now rests on her tear stained face, slight humor in her tone as she voices her answer "I stole the money we had been a for our wedding I learned we'd never have, burned down the house while he was away then left the country on impluse and decided it was a good idea to follow a tour guide known for losing a few people in the groups he takes through the country side." His body shakes with a silent chuckle and hums thoughtfully "And I'm guessin you gaht lahst den cooehldn't fend yooehr way back? Naht dat I dink you'd want to seein as you boehrned yooehr ex's 'ouse down den ran fahr it." She makes a soft noise in her throat as she nods.
 "Ye gahnna be alright if I leave you 'ere fahr a few minutes?" He asks softly and she nods again. She feels the heat his hand gave leave her as he stands and turns to track down Red shouting "Ahy, saber! Get over 'ere!" As he leaves the room, she guesses she's learned Red's name, all she hears now is their chatter in another she can't even make the words out of but hears laughter. Saber huh? Strange name, she wonders what Blue's name is.
 Saber's sitting on edge of their bed shoulders slumped, elbows purched on his knees, his fingers tangled together, chin rested upon them, his mouth hidden and empty eyed as Blue comes in the closes the door, "We're keepin 'er.." He speaks in a hard tone that gives no room for argument, Saber straightens up right, his entire body tensing up, " You mean we're stell goin to-" his voice taut before Blue interrupts "Change o' plan, we're naht doin dat. We bot taken a likin 'er dedn't we? Well she's tryin to lay low like oehs, doesn't 'ave anywhere else to go." The corners of his mouth quirk up into a sly grin "Besides you messed ooeht ahn de best part, lass set his 'ouse on fire befahre she ended oehp 'ere." Saber blinks slowly registering what he was just told before he barks out laughter, shoulders shaking from the force of it, "Good, sooehnded like de moran deserved it doin sahmethin like dat to a fine vixen like 'er. Boeht dinkin ahn it she's naked in yooehr cloak right now. What do we do abooeht clahthes fahr 'er? Ahr a place fahr 'er to sleep ahr do 'er business?"
 Blue tilts his head and rubs his chin with a thoughtful expression before coming up with and idea "Use me runes ahn sahmethin fahr you dat cooehld make you tiny like 'er fahr a shahrt while and I go steal a 'uman 'ouse ahr at least a few rooms frahm one, attach dem to sahme places in de de walls 'ere, make sahme walk ways, rahpes and shet so she 'as an easy time mahvin arooehnd 'ere." Saber snickers,"Sooehnds like you already 'ave it all planned ooeht. Boeht what do I do wit de lass if sahmeone is thick enooehgh to fahllow oehs?" Blue scoffs "If dey do lead dem deeper into de fahrest, take whatever it is I give you ahff, grab de lass and 'er stoehff in a pooehch you're goin to take wit you or something, den joehst feckin eat dem." Saber give him a flat look, "Wahn't dat scare 'er?" Blue scoffs at him"Everyahne already knows we eat 'umans, dey've even gaht stahries abooeht it, bet you a pent o' plain she dooehght you were goin to eat 'er when you 'ad 'er in yooehr 'and.." "Aye right, bet she dedn't." Saber growls at him, Blue huffs "Let's go as de lass den."
 They've been gone longer than a few minutes, she can't help but fidget until she hears footsteps "'Ey lass!" She hears Saber call agitated and for a moment fears it's her he's agitated at but he continues as she she lifts her head to look at him "Need you settle a bet between Caster and I 'ere" she furrows her brows, Caster? Something off here, those can't be their real names but still she nods to him "Ded you dink I was goin to eat you when I snatched you oehp?"she pauses before she indulges her curiosity "If I answer that will you a question I have?" Saber shrugs "Why naht?" "No, I thought you were going to crush and kill me." She answers and he winces before he clears his throat, "So what was yooehr question?" She takes a deep breath feeling unsure "Are Saber and Caster your real names?" She see the to men grin at each other be Caster speaks "Caoehght dat ded you? Fair play. No, and we're naht goin to ask you fahr yooehrs Weldfire, easier to play doehmb abooeht de ahthers if we dahn't know each ahther's names." She blinks "Wildfire? Why are you calling me that?" Saber cuts in "Yeah, Weldfire, because yooehr feisty and you boehrnt yooehr ex's 'ouse down.."
 She rubs the back of her neck "Makes sense then." Saber elbows Caster "'Ey, tell 'er de ahther din." Caster grumbles "I was gettin to dat." His voice comes out gentle in an effort not to scare her as he addresses her again keeping his words as soft as he could "So Weldfire, sence you need to fall ahff de map sence you." he can't help it as he cracks up a bit then continues "Sence you boehrnt yooehr ex's 'ouse down. We decided we're goin to keep you." She double takes "Keep me" she her voice sharp and barbed " Like a pet?" So Saber takes the reins "'e means we're gahnna make you live 'ere and you can't stahp oehs." she blinks slowly quiet as he continues "Like dragahns who kednapped a prencess and added 'er to deir 'oard instead o' eatin 'er." she narrows her eyes as she watches him a concerned expression on her face "Ahnly de prencess can sneak ooeht wit one o' de dragahns to steal 'er stoehff frahm 'er room in de castle because de kengs as thick as manure boeht ahnly 'alf as usefoehl." Her face relaxes, the corners of her eyes pricking with tears as she howls with laughter.
 "Ok, so what your saying is like surprise roommate under the pretence of a staged kidnapping by the so called victim's friends to escape their previous situation?" Saber grins "Now yooehr gettin it!" She smiles softly "Yeah I think I do, so which of the mighty dragons is going to help me somehow get my stuff from the castle?" Caster gestures to Saber " 'e is, I'm stayin 'ere to set sahme stoehff oehp so we can 'ouse you better, joehst gahtta get you clahthed first, I'll go get dem and sahmethin to desguise 'im" and with that Caster leaves the room. Saber's fingers table against the table while leaning against it, glancing at her from the corners of his "'ey weldfire?" His voice is soft as asks her a question that crossed his mind, he had to know, just in case "Say I 'ad to eat sahmeone in frahnt o' you? Wooehld you dink o' defferently o' oehs after dat?"
there's an awkward silence about the room for a few moments before he can't help but turn and contemplate her as she starts to move, only now doe he take in her her appearance, a gentle and serene expression on her face as her fingers brush a strand of her messy face framing bangs behind her eye, the rest of her caramel colored hair flowing down her back in soft waves shining a tone of warm honey and what he can catch of her eyes is a wild and brilliant green like the grass he first found her in, her voice an ethereal melody to him as it filled the feeling of isolation in the room.
  "to be honest, I don't think so. We, humans and other species much smaller than you I mean, hear lots about cruel Giants who go around crushing or eating people, I suppose it's just expected now...but I don't really think either of you are like that, you could have very well done so to me, could have left me out there with my life slowly fading, but you didn't. Instead you decide to help me. " She turns her head look him in the eyes own closing before giving him the kindest, brightest damn smile he's ever seen, her head tilted cutely "Thank you." And he feels his heart speed up, face heating up he quickly turns his head away a hand covering his chin and mouth, and attempt to hide his blush and failing instead giving of the feeling of a man contemplating something intimate.
 Gods he wanted to devour her body so bad in that moment, if he was her size he'd pin her to a wall, lift her up his fingers digging into the soft flesh of her thighs as he learns the flavor of her delicate lips the shade of pink raspberries and her creamy vanilla skin, he wanted to taste every inch of her, ravage her delectable form, cover it in marks of his presence to make it so good for her that she want him like he wanted her right now, ...but guilt clawed at him, they had almost, it slipped out before he could stop it and he could bare to see her reaction "We dooehght abooeht it." He hears her breath stall but he continues, he wants her to know "We might 'ave, dooehght you were an adventurer at first, dey always comb to try and 'oehnt oehs down, so I bring dem back 'ere, show'em to Caster first so 'e can make sure dey they're stripped of weapons den we eat dem, caster took one look at you and dooehght sahmethin was ahff, you dedn't look like you 'ad any equipment in the first place, just the clothes on your back to him" he takes a breath
  "I brooehght oehp de pahssebly you were a magic user like 'im and desguised yooehrself to look like less o' a threat, Caster agreed dat was a pahssibility boeht stell felt sahmethin was wrahng, snatched you right ooeht o' me 'ands, took ahff 'is cloak, used 'is magic to strep you, boehndled you oehp and placed you ahn de table and we started to argue, agreed to play nice tell we knew why you were 'ere. I was so sure you meant oehs ill" his voice starts to crack "Boeht you were joehst a lass dat gaht lahst. You weren't gahnna do a damn din to oehs, dedn't even know we were 'ere and I almahst-" he goes silent for a moment, his mouth feels dry.
 "I 'ad liked yooehr attitude, dooehght you'd be squirmy one, wanted to be de one who swallowed ya down , boeht when I learned you were 'armless, joehst lass who was oehpset, 'oehrtin and dedn't want to take me shet when I pecked you oehp, lahst me appetite. Dedn't know what to dink anymahre. kenda know what it feels like to go throoehgh dat, ahnly I kelled dem, Caster fooehnd me later. I wahn't lie to you now, you were bein 'ahnest wit oehs, felt guilty so figured it was better I be 'ahnest wit you too." He waits for her to yell, call him a monster. He doesn't know how to act when he feels a tiny hand on the side of his other that had begun to crack the wood it grip, so decides to bite the arrow and see just what she's doing, her voice is quiet and filled with a soft melancholy while she , "t's ok, people hurt you so you got used to it. That you felt guilty about it shows alot about your character." His eyes catch a detail he hadn't before he saw what her hair had kept hidden "So it's ok before I understand." He felt his teeth clenching while trying to suppress the rage he felt. Wounds almost fresh but not enough to bleed, scars old and deep in the flesh of her back he wanted to kill whoever it was that left those marks on her. He doubt Caster saw them either but she's lucky Caster spell cleaned those up as well. He's surprised she hadn't mentioned them, lass must have one hell of a pain tolerance if she can move with those pulling at her skin.
 "Yooehr back." His hand has dropped from his face, the words he speaks cause her to freeze at how cold his voice was. "you dedn't tell Caster everythin ded you? Bastard dedn't joehst break yooehr 'eart ded 'e?" She's silent, Saber moves to pick her up and she finches, he still before he turns around and crouches till he's on the same level as her wanting her to feel less threatened, he tries so hard to keep his rage restrained" I'm naht oehpset wit you, well I am joehst a lettle, it's joehst caster cooehld 'ave 'elped wit dahse if 'ad tahld 'im abooeht dem. Dahse are why you said you oehnderstand aren't dey?"
He's trying his best to make his voice soothing "Dahse wooehnds were made by de same blade dat made dahse scars." It's not a question, he already knows the answer, he's a warrior after all,he can put two and two together. "I need ya to answer me now Weldfire, does 'e know what you ded and is 'e after ya even now?" He sees her fists clench, baring her teeth,"Yeah" there's an inherent ferocity in her tone , "Bastard caught me with the help of some others, I escaped, figured taking the tour would help me shake him off, was going to go full circle then grab my stuff I left at tavern and keep running. Didn't think I would get lost but I just had to choose the guy known for losing people."
 He stands to full height, "Alright glad you tahld me. caster 'as been gahne a bet too lahng I'm goin see why and tell 'im booeht dahse injuries o' yooehrs so we can get dem 'ealed." And he starts to walk away before coming to a halt in the doorway and looking over his shoulder at her, "One mahre din lass, ye know anythin abooeht fightin?" She shakes her head " Had to be a 'proper lady' so I was never taught." It's clear to him it wasn't her choice on the matter, still he nods acknowledging her answer silently as he finally leaves, muttering low a pouch of some kind.
 ---------_-------
 He finds caster in his workshop leaning over fiddling with something on his desk, Saber shakes his with a sigh before addressing him while he walks over "Caster." Caster stops to glance at him for a moment before going right back to working on whatever it is he has in his hands and speaking "Saber if dis is abooeht 'ow lahng I've been gahne it's because o' three dings, 'ad to enchant sahmethin wit de size spell dat you cooehld get ahff in a splet secahnd, dooehght o' sahmethin I shooehld make dat wooehld be best to give 'er befahre you two go, and 'er pants were ruined, joehst fineshin sahmethin to replace dem." Saber's quiet for moment, he feel he should tell him "Well dat answers dat." He's having a going to have to tell Caster how he feels about her eventually "Boeht abooeht Weldfire, Caster I-" "I already know." Caster interrupts, his voice even "I know because feel dat way too, she's 'ere fahr barely a day and she's already gaht oehs bot wrapped arooehnd 'er tiny fengers doesn't she?" He sets the skirt he finished for her down and leans back in his chair.
 "Saw 'er smile dedn't ya? Too charmin fahr 'er own good, set yooehr instencts ahff dedn't she? A desire fahr 'er wit an entirely defferent meanin dan befahre, too soon fahr dat dooehgh, shooehld let 'er 'eal and try to charm 'er back so when we do prepahsition 'er fahr a ride she'll be mahre ahpen to acceptin". Saber chokes on his tongue, "we-I" he clears his throat, "dat's true, boeht caster, she's 'oehrt" He sees Caster jolt "did you-?" "No." He cuts him off "She was 'oehrt and dedn't tell you abooeht it when you were talkin to 'er. I dooehbt she'll tell oehs all o' it tell she's cahmfortable enooehgh to." And shoos hims "Now grab dat stoehff you were wahrkin ahn and go ooeht and 'elp 'er. I'm goin to alter one o' me belt pooehches so it cooehld prahtect 'er better and pad it fahr if I 'ave drahp Weldfire in it." Caster does not look happy but scoops up two items of the items off his desk and heading out with a call "Dat clip-ahn strep o' leather's yooehrs, poeht it ahn when yooehr ready to desguise yooehrself as a 'uman, shooehld be easy enooehgh to get it ahff if you 'ave to." and the door shuts
 ---------
 She's fidgeting again, she can admit something about those two make her feel safer than she's ever been in her life and already feels attached, she loves to easily, she knows it but still she can't help it, she's a bleeding heart, they've been so very gentle to her and already being alone in room without one of them makes her feel uncomfortably on edge. She craves that feeling of safety that she lost so very long ago.
 So when she hears footsteps she feels the tension in her relax and perks up seeing caster strolling to the table. He sits down in the chair in front of her dropping a pile of cloth out of one of hands and motions for her to walk towards him, "Comb 'ere, Saber tahld me you were injured, let me take a look and we'll see what we can do yeah?" So she walk towards him till she was a few yards away from the edge of the table, before she turns , reaches a hand behind her neck and sweeps the curtain of hair over the front on her shoulder.
 She never gets to see his face as his eyes narrow, a wrathful snarl painted upon his face that exposes feral lupine teeth clenching, not just wounded, Saber forgot to mention her having deep scars from repeated strikes, but he knows it wouldn't do for her to suddenly turn around to such a terrifying look, so he takes a deep breath before he schools his face into a tender expression and speaks to her in comforting tone "Looks easy enooehgh to deal wit, yooehr goin to want to set down dooehgh, sahmetimes people pass ooeht de first time dey feel me magic 'eal dem" she sits down on her knees while she listens "Shooehld 'ave seen Saber de first time, was a great laoehgh, tahppled right over landin face first in a boehnch o' nettles, stoehng and itched fahr days." She vibrated, shaking with silent amusement as his finger lightly pressed against her back then a comfortable warmth spread throughout her body and she fell to it, passing out with a small peaceful smile on her face.
 He caught her as her conciseness slipped away, he had her curled up in his hands and he couldn't help but stare at the soft expression on her face, he swallowed the saliva that was building up in his mouth, his eyes dilated, he was a much different species of giant that Saber, with the fact of Saber being a type of Fire giant actually from this plane while Caster is a type of fire giant from a different plane of existence entirely, so her adorable defenseless form with her spicy sweet personality caused his own instincts to make him feel voracious, oh he wanted to taste her alright, wanted to put her right in his mouth and savor her for hours, pleading and mewing her expression flushed and overwhelmed as he put his skilled tongue to work on her using one hand to keep her from pushing too far away while he worked himself over with the other before swallowing her up so he could feel her squirmy, cramped, trapped in his greedy body trying to push the walls of his stomach away to give her self more room while he continued to stroke his cock brings himself to cum repeatedly till she loses all her strength but....
 At the same time he feels his throat close in fear with a nauseous feeling , the thought as if by doing that, then she wouldn't come out of him alive and he'd never get to enjoy being in her presence, hear her voice oh so pleasant to his ears or taste her ever again. Part of the reason his instincts are doing that is he hasn't eaten yet the other part is them wanting her drowned in his scent, to leave his mark on her, So he has to make sure she wears it, he made sure to soak his scent in those clothes and the choker he enchanted for her besides the protective spells it had, it was made in a way that it will leave a mark, one that will be left behind unseen by all but him so more greedy parts of his instincts won't go completely haywire if she happens to have need to take it off, he feels she will simply for the way it looks, he left it a simple band of leather for now, doesn't know her what she likes for jewelry so he's going to leave the choice on decorations for it to her. He knows he won't have to worry about his instincts with Saber, he knows they won't have a reaction to Saber's scent on her.
 After a small while he gently bundles her back up in his cloak, his scent is strong on it so it's soothing enough to his instincts till she gets those clothes and that choker on but it doesn't quite help the hunger he feels right now, so he gets up and head to kitchen to get something to fill him up while she sleeps.
-----–------------------------------------------------------------
 Saber stretches as he gets up from the desk after he finished his work and grabs the band Caster left for him, stuffing it in his pocket and leaving the workshop, he makes his was back out to the dinning room and sees Wildfire sleeping peacefully wrap in Caster's cloak still on the table, looks like she passed out from Caster's magic, he peaks into the kitchen and sees Caster downing a few bowls of soup, he shrugs and heads to his and Caster's room to get his armor equipped, a light and flexible dark brown hide with tiny flecks of black and blue scales and a special metal breastplate, he grins remembering the beast he took down to get enough hide to make armor for someone his size, the look on Casters face when he dragged a primordial sea dragon behind him as he came back from his hunt was hilarious, would have been tough to take down seeing as it's immune to multiple elements and has resistances to most forms of weapons.
  Unfortunately it was a bad matchup seeing as it tried to square up against the only thing that could possibly hurt it, a fire giant with a fucking fire sword, fucker was vulnerable to fire and tried to pick a fight with him. Lucky for Saber though, now he has armor that can cover his weaknesses and they still haven't run out of dragon meat yet, then he got Caster to enchant the fur lining to release a heatless smoke when his body temperature got hotter for the simple reason of wanting be scary enough to have adventurers shit thier pants at the sight of him.
 He finished equipping his armor and attaches his sword and sheath to it, blade was scary enough with the sounds it makes when he swings it, armor just adds to his aesthetic of 'fuck off or else' before he head back out and sits on his chair at the table, on hand keeping his head propped up with the other tapping his fingers on the tables. He see Caster walk back into the room and sit in his own seat in front of the lass while reading a tome, Saber keeps his voice low "'ow moehch lahnger'll she be ooeht?"
 Caster glances at him, "Abooeht 2 mahre minutes." Saber hums keeping his eyes on the sleeping woman til she begins to stir and the cloth of Caster cloak slips off into her lap as she stretches giving both Caster and Saber an eyeful, the two men grin at each other before Saber give an appreciative whistle, she flushed with a squeak and quickly hid her blushing face in her hands, "'ey now dahn't tease 'er." Wildfire hears Caster say with an amused tone "joehst look at 'er, 'ow can i naht when she does cute dings like dat?" by the gods she wishes she could make herself disappear right now as she hears the two males chuckling.
 she feels a small bundle pressed to her chest then peaks through her fingers to see Caster shooing Saber out, then Caster speaks to her "You shooehld get dressed lass. Call oehs when yooehr dahne" Before he follows Saber out.
 Wildfire unravels the bundle revealing her shirt, an unfamiliar but well made skirt, and a strange strip of leather she notes down to take a look at after she's got herself, so quickly pulls on the simple black cloth shirt which was all that remains of her original clothes and the long soft green skirt she was given before picking up the piece of unfamiliar leather, holding it in her hands she sees how the black material shimmered hues of blues, reds and yellows as she angles it in the light, it's beautiful, then she see the rivet snaps that allow to it be worn, there's strange etching on the metal but it seems to be nothing more than a simple choker, she feels it would be rude if she didn't wear it and well, she's sure she can ask caster exactly what it's for seeing as he gave her this gift and so she puts it on with a small click, it sits flush against her throat but not uncomfortably so, the material is soft and unnaturally warm.
 She takes a deep breath before shouting, "I'm dressed!" An Saber walks right in, he can't help but think Caster did well on that long skirt she's got on, clicking open the altered pouch attached his belt and he scoops her up before letting her slip off into the padded chamber before he starts moving towards the door"Saber?" she asks softly "Aye lass?" "Did Caster tell you about the choker he gave me?" She hears Saber opening a door, "'e ded, tahld me it was fahr prahtection and to let you know to never take it ahff less you're in 'is wahrkshop wit 'im and you want to make it look defferent, except fahr dat, you're to never take it ahff no matter what." She makes a confused noise as the door shut and she heard the sounds of bird "Protection from what?"
 " I asked 'im dat too, cryptec ass said lahts o' dings, so i asked 'im to clarify and 'e asked me what wooehld 'appen if you fell ahff de table and neither o' oehs was dere, wasn't goin to argue abooeht dat. remend me o' de ahther din 'e asked me to tell you as well, de ahnly ahnes who can remahve dat chahker frahm yooehr neck, you, Caster and I, so you dahn't need to wahrry abooeht sahmethin streppin dat prahtection frahm you , anyone ahr anythin dat tries'll naht like what 'appens to dem." She hums accepting his answer, "Now I'll take you near de road,set you down, use de desguise Caster created and we'll 'ead to town frahm dere." She jolts "I didn't leave my stuff in the town's tavern" "oh?" "The tavern I told was a few miles out this way from town." "Ah, I know de one you're talkin abooeht, Caster and I are regulars dere." She blinks "huh? But how? You're too big to fit inside, not to mention there's been no mention of giants near there?" She hears Saber chuckle "Same way I'm goin to desguise myself Weldfire."
 ---------------------
 They're still a few hours walk from the tavern when Saber stops a crouches then reaches in to his pouch curls his fingers around Wildfire and lifts her out depositing her on the ground. She barely blinks before in place of a 50 some foot giant is a simple 6'5 warrior grinning at her with a playful expression while he walks towards her and slings an arm around her waist pressing her to his side, "Well lass, de giant's footstep is ahnly a lettle farther frahm 'ere, let's get goin shall we?" She's feeling her heart beating faster as she blushes at what she feels is definitely not platonic contact, and she begins to wonder, these men, were they both attracted to her? And how did they make her fall this fast? Would it even be fair to them if she couldn't choose between them?
 ----------------------
Saber knows he might be acting a bit over zealous pulling wildfire against him like that just because he smelled Caster on her and wanted to scent mark her too but he really couldn't help himself, he love the way she looks when flusters her, he'd hold for her for hours like this if it were possible, still the faster they go this done the sooner they could get back and make her trail vanish.
 He opened the door for her, and followed her in staying vigilant he looked around the tavern as she quickly ran to room to gather her things, noting both those he's seen before and those he hasn't, he know they are short on time, if he's right, then the ones chasing Wildfire were going to catch up to her soon and he'd rather they not be here when they do, it's not long before she runs back to him with a simple rucksack slug over her shoulder. "Dat all o' it lass?" She nods, "Let's go den" and just as quickly as they came entered it, they left the tavern.
 Unknown to them a man in a group of cloaked individual tighten his grip on his mug clenching his teeth, "that bitch."
 ----------------------
 They decided it would be least suspicious to travel back most of the way on foot, they had to take a break a about 4 in to set up a fire, Saber going off to hunt something down for them to eat, leaving her standing alone, she was no fighter, no rogue, no magic or training of any kind, the only thing that alerted to the fact someone was there was a snapping branch, she quickly turned her head ready to welcome Saber back, her eyes widening to see familiar cloaked forms and takes a step back hand clasped and pulled close to her chest at hearing the malicious voice that had left scars on her body and minds, "I found you, you fucking tramp." she feels cold, her voice a fearful whisper "Victor."
 He storms up and yanks her arm with a painful grip, "you're coming with me." He states as he began to drag her behind him, she shakes her head, struggling and digging her feet into the ground, "no, no, NO! SABER HELP!" She cries out, seconds later a shrill bone chilling sound, a roaring voice, both rend the air, Victor letting go of her wrist just in time to escape the swing of a blade that almost tore his arm from him, she feel a warm hand pull her back into a plated chest, another hand keeping a silver and red bronze colored blade leveled at the group, out of the corner her eye she sees red and gold, He came.
 "Hand her over" she hers Victor demand, Saber growls "You'll 'ave to pry 'er ooeht o' me cahld dead 'ands." his voice dripping with rage, Victor scoffs "have it your way, kill him." He orders his men, and so begins a danse macabre, Saber matching them blow for blow, clanging metal as he parries, rushes of air as he dodges, always holding her close, spinning her out of the way, it truly does feel like a dangerous dance to her, till a war hammer is swung, a blow he can't block or dodge, he has no choice but to throw her and take the blow himself, as she tumbles and rolls she finds herself laying on the ground, placing her hands on ground she looks up just in time to see his breast plate shattered as he thrown back and she cries out in worry "SABER!"
 Just as fast the ground shakes, suddenly back to his normal size on his hands and knees. She stands leaning against a tree and suddenly he moves, a hand snatched his attacker, the man screaming and dropping his war hammer as he's dragged toward Saber, he's lifted into the air as Saber stands on his knees above his head, from the angle she stands, even in the bright light of moon his face is shrouded in darkness, a fog of heat bursting from his gaping maw as he drops the man right in, jaws snapping shut, a loud gluck echoing through the cool night air as a wriggling lump is slowly pulled down his throat and disappears past his collar bone, another stream of hot air is visible in the dark as he breaths out.
 "Saber?" She says his name softy and sees eyes like glowing embers zero on her, a wild and predatory gaze, eyes that don't recognize her. She feels her breath caught in her chest, then a fire ball strikes his face and his attention turns back to the 6 men left in front him, wait 6? She feels arms restrain her and a hand cover her mouth as her struggling form is dragged away, she can only as she sees Saber continue their attacked and she dearly hopes even as he is right now, that he'll come save her.
------------
 It doesn't take him long to finish the ones who were still attacking him, he turns back to where he saw the female to see her gone, he know one of the males was missing, too bad for them he won't let them escape, he'll devour anyone who intrudes on their territory, so he follows the males scent trail.
--------
 Victor drags a bit farther before he throws on the ground and climbs on top of her, hands enclosing on her throat cutting off her air, she grasping his wrists, feeling her feet scraping the dirt unable to gain a footing, bucking and writhing, tears starting to prick her eyes as her lungs burn, a look of agony of her face as she looks at the man above who wears an expression of sadistic glee as he strangles her.
 He lets go when the ground shakes, looking behind him, she see a shadow above them, Victor jumps of her and tries to run only for both them be snatched up while she's laying there trying to catch her breath, her body limp.
 Saber caught them, it was odd he found the male on top of the female instead of them still running and quickly grabs them both. He was going to eat the female before he detected it, territorial markers, it was his marker , it was his mates, the smells mixing with her own sweet scent creating something so soothing to his senses, the female's not an intruder, she's part of their territory so he shifts his grips to cradle her, pressing her against his chest as he devours the last of the males, his weak struggles slipping down his gullet to join the rest wriggling in the faintly swollen lump that was his gurgling stomach.
 He lifts the small female up and away from his chest towards his face to get a better look at her, his nose wrinkles in disgust catching the faint scent of the male he had devoured, so he brought her even closer dragging the tip of his tongue up from her abdomen towards her breasts and across the distressed female face.
 But it wasn't enough so pressed her against it, wrapped his lips around her torso, lifting her off his hands and slurping her the rest of her inside, he lapped and sucked her, she had such a mouthwatering taste, she didn't struggle against him and he let out a rumbling purr, such a good girl. Eventually too much of his saliva builds up so he cups his hands and lets her dripping wet form slip off his tongue into his hands, her eyes are wide and she's breathing fast, he decides he wants to taste her again, this time however he brings her legs into his mouth first , gives a small slurp and feels her tiny hands press against his lips trying to stop him, it's futile but amusing, he swings his head up opening his mouth and snapping his jaws shut seconds after she falls inside.
 He lowers his head and wipes drool from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, sucking and lapping at her again, he doesn't spit her back out when his mouth fills with saliva, instead pressing her to the inside of his cheek and swallowing his spit careful not to drag her down with it. He does this repeatedly as he grabs his sword from where he left it then heads back to his and mates den.
 ---------------
Caster turns to greet them as Saber walks inside only to see the way Saber look, breastplate gone, the animalistic look of one overtaken by instincts, gut slightly swollen and Wildfire no where in sight and Caster feels cold "Saber where's Weldfire?" Silence, Caster's voice gets increasingly demanding, and worried "De wahman saber! ooehr lass! Where de foehck is de tiny 'uman female dat was wit you? If you 'ave 'er give 'er 'ere now!" Saber tilts his head as Caster thrusts his open hands at him, before he bends over Caster's cupped hands and opens his mouth depositing a soaked and shaking, curled up form into his palms, Caster bring her terrified glossy eyed unresponsive form to himself and sees the small hand shaped bruises around her neck, he doesn't know what happened but she was hurt again, so lost to himself Saber stuck her in his mouth instead of making sure she was okay. Caster is over taken by a cold instinctual rage.
 Saber doesn't understand, he gave his mate the female, then his mate got mad, snapping his teeth, growling and snarling at him before leaving, taking the female with him, Saber whimpers, what did he do wrong?
 -------------
Caster overcome by his own instincts takes her into his workshop and locks the door, his face twisted in a snarl, his sharp canine like teeth bared as he stocks over to a nest he made a while ago for whenever he was mad at his mate, he lays down on it placing the scared defenseless female on the center of his chest, right on top his pectoral muscles and covers her with one of his hands, feeling angrier when she flinches when he tries to rumble low at her in an attempt to soothe her, he wants to take her in, swallow her up inside himself so nothing reach her and she could feel safe knowing other would have to go through him to get her.
 But even with this desire, so lost to his own instincts, Caster can tell that would only make her state worse in the moment due what caused her to be like this in the first place, instead he just strokes her with his thumb till she falls into a peaceful slumber while he pushes healing magic into her. Even if he can't confine her like he wants to, he can still guard her till she feels better.......then he's going to have his mates face make acquaintances with the ground.

  How in the world did she get herself into this mess, oh yeah, she decided it was a good idea to take a tour with a tour guide known for losing people,IN FUCKING GIANT TERRITORY! The hell was she thinking? She heaves a sigh continuing to mental beat herself up, the legs of her pants covered in mud while her shirt and hair are soaked with rain so cold it feels like ice, she's hugging herself and her posture had slumped in an attempt to keep warm as she continued to walk deeper into the forest hoping she'd find the path back but even now she knew she was not going to be able to keep moving soon.
 
She doesn't know how far she walked or how long it took her to reach this large clearing but she feel her legs finally gave out, rain poaring down and thunder shaking the ground as she collapsed backwards on wet grass close to passing out, dirt long since washed away from her clothes and feeling like her head is filled with fog, the unfamiliar trees surrounding not giving an indication of a path to go, she hears thunder crash and the ground shaking harder, she wonders idley why she hasn't seen any lightning. So why is the ground shaking so much?
 She realizes then that it's not thunder, it's footsteps, big ones coming this way, she doesn't have the energy to move, she'll either die from exposure or the giant heading the this way stepping on her, her breathing is shaky, and she closes her eyes waiting for doom, but just as the footsteps reach and the ground reverberates air blowing past her they stop a good 8ft away and she hears a male voice speak in a playful voice above her "Ahh, what's dis den?" She opens her eyes just in time to see the giant's hand a feet away and coming closer, she expects to be squished, she does not expect it when the male digs his fingers lightly into the soft ground and scoops her up her limp body, one of her legs dangling off his hand and her back leaned against curled finger as he lifts her upward to his face, her sight is blurry and she can only make out colors, his face a blur of pale skin, red, and three areas of gold.
 "Well now seems I caoehght a wee mouse." His voice is closer, the heat of his hand warming up her back and with barely any energy left she snaps back "m not a fucking mouse." She hears him chuckle "hm? Looks like she's feisty, even if she's so cahld she can't mahve." She figures he's going to kill her anyway her weaken voice still allow her to sass just a bit more "Can move enough to kick your ass." She feels him shake with laughter as he chuckles again instead of just squeezing her till her spine snaps, "Ooo I like you." Wait what? "I dink I'll take you 'ahme wit me and we'll figure ooeht what to do wit you dere" we'll? She finally feels him close his hand around her but he shifts her as he does while standing up from his crouched position, she feels like a small doll,her torso firmly gripped and her the lower half of her legs dangling out from his hand, his thumb in front of her face as she finally passes out.
 She wakes up later on a soft surface to the sound of two males talking in the the background "-she'd be too weak right now. let's feed 'er, let 'er warm oehp and gain 'er strength back first alright?" An unfamiliar voice says, "Alright, fine. We'll wait." a more familiar yet disgruntled sounding voice replies. She shifts around and attempts to get up before she hear the unfamiliar voice speak again while she feels a large finger press down on her chest against her skin with just enough force to make her lay down again without breaking anything "Nahne o' dat now lass oehnless you want to make yooehrself seck. You've been ooeht lahng enooehgh to show clear segns o' 'ypahthermia." She looks past the giant's finger to see the man's face, her vision now clear, a sharp jawline, ivory skin, eyes red as blood staring down at her, a soft look attached to a handsome face that would be frightening if it showed anger, his hair is a soft shade of blue and hangs down near her in a braid.
 "She awake already?" she glances in the direction of the more familiar voice, it's the giant who found her, what was once a blur of colors take the form of a young man with hair the color of fire, tipped with woven sunlight, eyes like a hawk, the color of molten gold, his skin is a similar tone to firsts...she think she'll call the both of the men Red and Blue since she doesn't know their names yet. Blue, his finger still pinning her turns his head to address Red "No danks to you, she'd be in better shape if you 'ad taken de time to warm 'er oehp while brengin 'er 'ere."
She doesn't know quite how to react to this. As the men continue to make jabs at each other she decides to ask them the question that's on her mind "Where am I? why am I not dead yet?" Her voice soft and small. Red turns his attention to her from where he sitting propped on the edge of something wooden and Blue looks down at her again, Red replies to her question with a question with deadpan voice while blue gives her a straight answer.
 "Do you want to be dead?" Red asks his voice light and airy like a forest, Blue's voice is calm and deep as the sea "Ahn a table, in ooehr 'ouse, wrapped in de 'ood o' me cloak dat was de first din I grabbed when I saw 'ow wet and shiverin you were when dis asshahle" he gestures to Red "'ere first brooehght you in." Then raises an eyebrow stating " I'm soehrprised you 'aven't said anythin abooeht bein naked yet." in a tired sounding voice she replies "Isn't stripping wet clothes off and getting somewhere dry part of hyperthermia treatment? Is that not normal?" This causes the corners of Blue's lips to twitch upwards while Red bursts out laughing.
 "Soehppahse it is, ain't it? Dooehght a wee lettle lass like you wooehld be mahre panecked to fend 'erself in de 'ahme and 'ands o' a pair beg lads like oehs" Blue answers her in a light tone of humor in his voice. "Eh, too tired to give a shit..and stop calling me little or I'll bite that finger of yours" she speaks keeping an even voice, Blue chuckles looking to Red he tell him "You're right, dis lass is feisty" He lifts his finger off her as he turns his attention to her again and waggles his finger at her "Now you stay right 'ere lass, I'll get you sahmethin warm to fell you oehp." He stands up from where he was sitting and walks off waving a hand and looking over his shoulder at Red "Make sure she stays poeht." Before he leaves the room.
 Red slides over to sit close enough that his hand is a few feet away from her, grinning down at "Looks like 'e likes you too." He tells her and she glares at him "Fuck off" she says without any hint of venom, just a tone of light annoyince, he playfully gasps pretending to clutch his heart, "Is dat 'ow you repay de man dat saved you? I can dink o' anahther type o' payment I wooehld wooehld prefer." He says while leering at her tiny form before hearing Blue yell from the other room "I said watch 'er! naht 'arass 'er" The man huffs in response placing his hands back down on the table, "Alright already! Stahp naggin me!"
 It only takes a moment for Blue to return to holding something pinched between the fingers in one of his hands he moves to sit back down and elbows "Move over" Red hisses through his teeth from the force of it and moves, Blue dips his hand underneath her back and uses it to help her into a sitting position, she uses one of her arms to keep a piece of bundle of cloth over her chest as he places a thimble full on broth in her lap, he doesn't move his hand, allowing her to lean against it, she can't help but notice how warm his skin, but tries to ignore it as she begins to drink the warm broth.
 "So what brooehght you all de way ooeht 'ere lass?" Blue questions her and her passive mask that had given nothing away shatters as she slumps forward reality of everything she's been through hitting her full force all at once, her lips curling back forcing a tight smile on her face as her eyes begin to water, she stays silent for a moment running a hand through her hair she barely chokes it out, her voice cracking as the words leave her tongue "Heartbreak" the tears begin to trail down her cheeks as she squeezes her eyes shut and tries to wipe them away. She doesn't notice the gestures the two men make at each other as she continues and her tears begin to blind her, "there was a man, I loved him but he used me. Tossed me aside as soon as he had gotten everything he wanted out of me and I found him dick deep in another woman. Then I ran. "
 
Blue's face shifts into tightened expression as he curls his hand around her a bit more, lips pulling back teeth bared as he points towards her with an open hand looking straight at Red anger clear in his narrow glad. Red pulls back an intake of air through his teeth as he grimaces, his lips turning into a soft frown and he rubs the back of his neck turning away to avoid making eye contact with either of them and leaving the room...
 Blue takes a deep breath and rubs her back with his thumb keeping his voice gentle to avoid making her skittish due to the level of rage he feels right now "Well dat tells me why you're 'ere, boeht you mend me askin 'ow? After all lass, can tell by de way you speak you aren't frahm anywhere arooehnd 'ere." At this question he hears her laugh lightly, a soft more natural smile now rests on her tear stained face, slight humor in her tone as she voices her answer "I stole the money we had been a for our wedding I learned we'd never have, burned down the house while he was away then left the country on impluse and decided it was a good idea to follow a tour guide known for losing a few people in the groups he takes through the country side." His body shakes with a silent chuckle and hums thoughtfully "And I'm guessin you gaht lahst den cooehldn't fend yooehr way back? Naht dat I dink you'd want to seein as you boehrned yooehr ex's 'ouse down den ran fahr it." She makes a soft noise in her throat as she nods.
 "Ye gahnna be alright if I leave you 'ere fahr a few minutes?" He asks softly and she nods again. She feels the heat his hand gave leave her as he stands and turns to track down Red shouting "Ahy, saber! Get over 'ere!" As he leaves the room, she guesses she's learned Red's name, all she hears now is their chatter in another she can't even make the words out of but hears laughter. Saber huh? Strange name, she wonders what Blue's name is.
 Saber's sitting on edge of their bed shoulders slumped, elbows purched on his knees, his fingers tangled together, chin rested upon them, his mouth hidden and empty eyed as Blue comes in the closes the door, "We're keepin 'er.." He speaks in a hard tone that gives no room for argument, Saber straightens up right, his entire body tensing up, " You mean we're stell goin to-" his voice taut before Blue interrupts "Change o' plan, we're naht doin dat. We bot taken a likin 'er dedn't we? Well she's tryin to lay low like oehs, doesn't 'ave anywhere else to go." The corners of his mouth quirk up into a sly grin "Besides you messed ooeht ahn de best part, lass set his 'ouse on fire befahre she ended oehp 'ere." Saber blinks slowly registering what he was just told before he barks out laughter, shoulders shaking from the force of it, "Good, sooehnded like de moran deserved it doin sahmethin like dat to a fine vixen like 'er. Boeht dinkin ahn it she's naked in yooehr cloak right now. What do we do abooeht clahthes fahr 'er? Ahr a place fahr 'er to sleep ahr do 'er business?"
 Blue tilts his head and rubs his chin with a thoughtful expression before coming up with and idea "Use me runes ahn sahmethin fahr you dat cooehld make you tiny like 'er fahr a shahrt while and I go steal a 'uman 'ouse ahr at least a few rooms frahm one, attach dem to sahme places in de de walls 'ere, make sahme walk ways, rahpes and shet so she 'as an easy time mahvin arooehnd 'ere." Saber snickers,"Sooehnds like you already 'ave it all planned ooeht. Boeht what do I do wit de lass if sahmeone is thick enooehgh to fahllow oehs?" Blue scoffs "If dey do lead dem deeper into de fahrest, take whatever it is I give you ahff, grab de lass and 'er stoehff in a pooehch you're goin to take wit you or something, den joehst feckin eat dem." Saber give him a flat look, "Wahn't dat scare 'er?" Blue scoffs at him"Everyahne already knows we eat 'umans, dey've even gaht stahries abooeht it, bet you a pent o' plain she dooehght you were goin to eat 'er when you 'ad 'er in yooehr 'and.." "Aye right, bet she dedn't." Saber growls at him, Blue huffs "Let's go as de lass den."
 They've been gone longer than a few minutes, she can't help but fidget until she hears footsteps "'Ey lass!" She hears Saber call agitated and for a moment fears it's her he's agitated at but he continues as she she lifts her head to look at him "Need you settle a bet between Caster and I 'ere" she furrows her brows, Caster? Something off here, those can't be their real names but still she nods to him "Ded you dink I was goin to eat you when I snatched you oehp?"she pauses before she indulges her curiosity "If I answer that will you a question I have?" Saber shrugs "Why naht?" "No, I thought you were going to crush and kill me." She answers and he winces before he clears his throat, "So what was yooehr question?" She takes a deep breath feeling unsure "Are Saber and Caster your real names?" She see the to men grin at each other be Caster speaks "Caoehght dat ded you? Fair play. No, and we're naht goin to ask you fahr yooehrs Weldfire, easier to play doehmb abooeht de ahthers if we dahn't know each ahther's names." She blinks "Wildfire? Why are you calling me that?" Saber cuts in "Yeah, Weldfire, because yooehr feisty and you boehrnt yooehr ex's 'ouse down.."
 She rubs the back of her neck "Makes sense then." Saber elbows Caster "'Ey, tell 'er de ahther din." Caster grumbles "I was gettin to dat." His voice comes out gentle in an effort not to scare her as he addresses her again keeping his words as soft as he could "So Weldfire, sence you need to fall ahff de map sence you." he can't help it as he cracks up a bit then continues "Sence you boehrnt yooehr ex's 'ouse down. We decided we're goin to keep you." She double takes "Keep me" she her voice sharp and barbed " Like a pet?" So Saber takes the reins "'e means we're gahnna make you live 'ere and you can't stahp oehs." she blinks slowly quiet as he continues "Like dragahns who kednapped a prencess and added 'er to deir 'oard instead o' eatin 'er." she narrows her eyes as she watches him a concerned expression on her face "Ahnly de prencess can sneak ooeht wit one o' de dragahns to steal 'er stoehff frahm 'er room in de castle because de kengs as thick as manure boeht ahnly 'alf as usefoehl." Her face relaxes, the corners of her eyes pricking with tears as she howls with laughter.
 "Ok, so what your saying is like surprise roommate under the pretence of a staged kidnapping by the so called victim's friends to escape their previous situation?" Saber grins "Now yooehr gettin it!" She smiles softly "Yeah I think I do, so which of the mighty dragons is going to help me somehow get my stuff from the castle?" Caster gestures to Saber " 'e is, I'm stayin 'ere to set sahme stoehff oehp so we can 'ouse you better, joehst gahtta get you clahthed first, I'll go get dem and sahmethin to desguise 'im" and with that Caster leaves the room. Saber's fingers table against the table while leaning against it, glancing at her from the corners of his "'ey weldfire?" His voice is soft as asks her a question that crossed his mind, he had to know, just in case "Say I 'ad to eat sahmeone in frahnt o' you? Wooehld you dink o' defferently o' oehs after dat?"
there's an awkward silence about the room for a few moments before he can't help but turn and contemplate her as she starts to move, only now doe he take in her her appearance, a gentle and serene expression on her face as her fingers brush a strand of her messy face framing bangs behind her eye, the rest of her caramel colored hair flowing down her back in soft waves shining a tone of warm honey and what he can catch of her eyes is a wild and brilliant green like the grass he first found her in, her voice an ethereal melody to him as it filled the feeling of isolation in the room.
  "to be honest, I don't think so. We, humans and other species much smaller than you I mean, hear lots about cruel Giants who go around crushing or eating people, I suppose it's just expected now...but I don't really think either of you are like that, you could have very well done so to me, could have left me out there with my life slowly fading, but you didn't. Instead you decide to help me. " She turns her head look him in the eyes own closing before giving him the kindest, brightest damn smile he's ever seen, her head tilted cutely "Thank you." And he feels his heart speed up, face heating up he quickly turns his head away a hand covering his chin and mouth, and attempt to hide his blush and failing instead giving of the feeling of a man contemplating something intimate.
 Gods he wanted to devour her body so bad in that moment, if he was her size he'd pin her to a wall, lift her up his fingers digging into the soft flesh of her thighs as he learns the flavor of her delicate lips the shade of pink raspberries and her creamy vanilla skin, he wanted to taste every inch of her, ravage her delectable form, cover it in marks of his presence to make it so good for her that she want him like he wanted her right now, ...but guilt clawed at him, they had almost, it slipped out before he could stop it and he could bare to see her reaction "We dooehght abooeht it." He hears her breath stall but he continues, he wants her to know "We might 'ave, dooehght you were an adventurer at first, dey always comb to try and 'oehnt oehs down, so I bring dem back 'ere, show'em to Caster first so 'e can make sure dey they're stripped of weapons den we eat dem, caster took one look at you and dooehght sahmethin was ahff, you dedn't look like you 'ad any equipment in the first place, just the clothes on your back to him" he takes a breath
  "I brooehght oehp de pahssebly you were a magic user like 'im and desguised yooehrself to look like less o' a threat, Caster agreed dat was a pahssibility boeht stell felt sahmethin was wrahng, snatched you right ooeht o' me 'ands, took ahff 'is cloak, used 'is magic to strep you, boehndled you oehp and placed you ahn de table and we started to argue, agreed to play nice tell we knew why you were 'ere. I was so sure you meant oehs ill" his voice starts to crack "Boeht you were joehst a lass dat gaht lahst. You weren't gahnna do a damn din to oehs, dedn't even know we were 'ere and I almahst-" he goes silent for a moment, his mouth feels dry.
 "I 'ad liked yooehr attitude, dooehght you'd be squirmy one, wanted to be de one who swallowed ya down , boeht when I learned you were 'armless, joehst lass who was oehpset, 'oehrtin and dedn't want to take me shet when I pecked you oehp, lahst me appetite. Dedn't know what to dink anymahre. kenda know what it feels like to go throoehgh dat, ahnly I kelled dem, Caster fooehnd me later. I wahn't lie to you now, you were bein 'ahnest wit oehs, felt guilty so figured it was better I be 'ahnest wit you too." He waits for her to yell, call him a monster. He doesn't know how to act when he feels a tiny hand on the side of his other that had begun to crack the wood it grip, so decides to bite the arrow and see just what she's doing, her voice is quiet and filled with a soft melancholy while she , "t's ok, people hurt you so you got used to it. That you felt guilty about it shows alot about your character." His eyes catch a detail he hadn't before he saw what her hair had kept hidden "So it's ok before I understand." He felt his teeth clenching while trying to suppress the rage he felt. Wounds almost fresh but not enough to bleed, scars old and deep in the flesh of her back he wanted to kill whoever it was that left those marks on her. He doubt Caster saw them either but she's lucky Caster spell cleaned those up as well. He's surprised she hadn't mentioned them, lass must have one hell of a pain tolerance if she can move with those pulling at her skin.
 "Yooehr back." His hand has dropped from his face, the words he speaks cause her to freeze at how cold his voice was. "you dedn't tell Caster everythin ded you? Bastard dedn't joehst break yooehr 'eart ded 'e?" She's silent, Saber moves to pick her up and she finches, he still before he turns around and crouches till he's on the same level as her wanting her to feel less threatened, he tries so hard to keep his rage restrained" I'm naht oehpset wit you, well I am joehst a lettle, it's joehst caster cooehld 'ave 'elped wit dahse if 'ad tahld 'im abooeht dem. Dahse are why you said you oehnderstand aren't dey?"
He's trying his best to make his voice soothing "Dahse wooehnds were made by de same blade dat made dahse scars." It's not a question, he already knows the answer, he's a warrior after all,he can put two and two together. "I need ya to answer me now Weldfire, does 'e know what you ded and is 'e after ya even now?" He sees her fists clench, baring her teeth,"Yeah" there's an inherent ferocity in her tone , "Bastard caught me with the help of some others, I escaped, figured taking the tour would help me shake him off, was going to go full circle then grab my stuff I left at tavern and keep running. Didn't think I would get lost but I just had to choose the guy known for losing people."
 He stands to full height, "Alright glad you tahld me. caster 'as been gahne a bet too lahng I'm goin see why and tell 'im booeht dahse injuries o' yooehrs so we can get dem 'ealed." And he starts to walk away before coming to a halt in the doorway and looking over his shoulder at her, "One mahre din lass, ye know anythin abooeht fightin?" She shakes her head " Had to be a 'proper lady' so I was never taught." It's clear to him it wasn't her choice on the matter, still he nods acknowledging her answer silently as he finally leaves, muttering low a pouch of some kind.
 ---------_-------
 He finds caster in his workshop leaning over fiddling with something on his desk, Saber shakes his with a sigh before addressing him while he walks over "Caster." Caster stops to glance at him for a moment before going right back to working on whatever it is he has in his hands and speaking "Saber if dis is abooeht 'ow lahng I've been gahne it's because o' three dings, 'ad to enchant sahmethin wit de size spell dat you cooehld get ahff in a splet secahnd, dooehght o' sahmethin I shooehld make dat wooehld be best to give 'er befahre you two go, and 'er pants were ruined, joehst fineshin sahmethin to replace dem." Saber's quiet for moment, he feel he should tell him "Well dat answers dat." He's having a going to have to tell Caster how he feels about her eventually "Boeht abooeht Weldfire, Caster I-" "I already know." Caster interrupts, his voice even "I know because feel dat way too, she's 'ere fahr barely a day and she's already gaht oehs bot wrapped arooehnd 'er tiny fengers doesn't she?" He sets the skirt he finished for her down and leans back in his chair.
 "Saw 'er smile dedn't ya? Too charmin fahr 'er own good, set yooehr instencts ahff dedn't she? A desire fahr 'er wit an entirely defferent meanin dan befahre, too soon fahr dat dooehgh, shooehld let 'er 'eal and try to charm 'er back so when we do prepahsition 'er fahr a ride she'll be mahre ahpen to acceptin". Saber chokes on his tongue, "we-I" he clears his throat, "dat's true, boeht caster, she's 'oehrt" He sees Caster jolt "did you-?" "No." He cuts him off "She was 'oehrt and dedn't tell you abooeht it when you were talkin to 'er. I dooehbt she'll tell oehs all o' it tell she's cahmfortable enooehgh to." And shoos hims "Now grab dat stoehff you were wahrkin ahn and go ooeht and 'elp 'er. I'm goin to alter one o' me belt pooehches so it cooehld prahtect 'er better and pad it fahr if I 'ave drahp Weldfire in it." Caster does not look happy but scoops up two items of the items off his desk and heading out with a call "Dat clip-ahn strep o' leather's yooehrs, poeht it ahn when yooehr ready to desguise yooehrself as a 'uman, shooehld be easy enooehgh to get it ahff if you 'ave to." and the door shuts
 ---------
 She's fidgeting again, she can admit something about those two make her feel safer than she's ever been in her life and already feels attached, she loves to easily, she knows it but still she can't help it, she's a bleeding heart, they've been so very gentle to her and already being alone in room without one of them makes her feel uncomfortably on edge. She craves that feeling of safety that she lost so very long ago.
 So when she hears footsteps she feels the tension in her relax and perks up seeing caster strolling to the table. He sits down in the chair in front of her dropping a pile of cloth out of one of hands and motions for her to walk towards him, "Comb 'ere, Saber tahld me you were injured, let me take a look and we'll see what we can do yeah?" So she walk towards him till she was a few yards away from the edge of the table, before she turns , reaches a hand behind her neck and sweeps the curtain of hair over the front on her shoulder.
 She never gets to see his face as his eyes narrow, a wrathful snarl painted upon his face that exposes feral lupine teeth clenching, not just wounded, Saber forgot to mention her having deep scars from repeated strikes, but he knows it wouldn't do for her to suddenly turn around to such a terrifying look, so he takes a deep breath before he schools his face into a tender expression and speaks to her in comforting tone "Looks easy enooehgh to deal wit, yooehr goin to want to set down dooehgh, sahmetimes people pass ooeht de first time dey feel me magic 'eal dem" she sits down on her knees while she listens "Shooehld 'ave seen Saber de first time, was a great laoehgh, tahppled right over landin face first in a boehnch o' nettles, stoehng and itched fahr days." She vibrated, shaking with silent amusement as his finger lightly pressed against her back then a comfortable warmth spread throughout her body and she fell to it, passing out with a small peaceful smile on her face.
 He caught her as her conciseness slipped away, he had her curled up in his hands and he couldn't help but stare at the soft expression on her face, he swallowed the saliva that was building up in his mouth, his eyes dilated, he was a much different species of giant that Saber, with the fact of Saber being a type of Fire giant actually from this plane while Caster is a type of fire giant from a different plane of existence entirely, so her adorable defenseless form with her spicy sweet personality caused his own instincts to make him feel voracious, oh he wanted to taste her alright, wanted to put her right in his mouth and savor her for hours, pleading and mewing her expression flushed and overwhelmed as he put his skilled tongue to work on her using one hand to keep her from pushing too far away while he worked himself over with the other before swallowing her up so he could feel her squirmy, cramped, trapped in his greedy body trying to push the walls of his stomach away to give her self more room while he continued to stroke his cock brings himself to cum repeatedly till she loses all her strength but....
 At the same time he feels his throat close in fear with a nauseous feeling , the thought as if by doing that, then she wouldn't come out of him alive and he'd never get to enjoy being in her presence, hear her voice oh so pleasant to his ears or taste her ever again. Part of the reason his instincts are doing that is he hasn't eaten yet the other part is them wanting her drowned in his scent, to leave his mark on her, So he has to make sure she wears it, he made sure to soak his scent in those clothes and the choker he enchanted for her besides the protective spells it had, it was made in a way that it will leave a mark, one that will be left behind unseen by all but him so more greedy parts of his instincts won't go completely haywire if she happens to have need to take it off, he feels she will simply for the way it looks, he left it a simple band of leather for now, doesn't know her what she likes for jewelry so he's going to leave the choice on decorations for it to her. He knows he won't have to worry about his instincts with Saber, he knows they won't have a reaction to Saber's scent on her.
 After a small while he gently bundles her back up in his cloak, his scent is strong on it so it's soothing enough to his instincts till she gets those clothes and that choker on but it doesn't quite help the hunger he feels right now, so he gets up and head to kitchen to get something to fill him up while she sleeps.
-----–------------------------------------------------------------
 Saber stretches as he gets up from the desk after he finished his work and grabs the band Caster left for him, stuffing it in his pocket and leaving the workshop, he makes his was back out to the dinning room and sees Wildfire sleeping peacefully wrap in Caster's cloak still on the table, looks like she passed out from Caster's magic, he peaks into the kitchen and sees Caster downing a few bowls of soup, he shrugs and heads to his and Caster's room to get his armor equipped, a light and flexible dark brown hide with tiny flecks of black and blue scales and a special metal breastplate, he grins remembering the beast he took down to get enough hide to make armor for someone his size, the look on Casters face when he dragged a primordial sea dragon behind him as he came back from his hunt was hilarious, would have been tough to take down seeing as it's immune to multiple elements and has resistances to most forms of weapons.
  Unfortunately it was a bad matchup seeing as it tried to square up against the only thing that could possibly hurt it, a fire giant with a fucking fire sword, fucker was vulnerable to fire and tried to pick a fight with him. Lucky for Saber though, now he has armor that can cover his weaknesses and they still haven't run out of dragon meat yet, then he got Caster to enchant the fur lining to release a heatless smoke when his body temperature got hotter for the simple reason of wanting be scary enough to have adventurers shit thier pants at the sight of him.
 He finished equipping his armor and attaches his sword and sheath to it, blade was scary enough with the sounds it makes when he swings it, armor just adds to his aesthetic of 'fuck off or else' before he head back out and sits on his chair at the table, on hand keeping his head propped up with the other tapping his fingers on the tables. He see Caster walk back into the room and sit in his own seat in front of the lass while reading a tome, Saber keeps his voice low "'ow moehch lahnger'll she be ooeht?"
 Caster glances at him, "Abooeht 2 mahre minutes." Saber hums keeping his eyes on the sleeping woman til she begins to stir and the cloth of Caster cloak slips off into her lap as she stretches giving both Caster and Saber an eyeful, the two men grin at each other before Saber give an appreciative whistle, she flushed with a squeak and quickly hid her blushing face in her hands, "'ey now dahn't tease 'er." Wildfire hears Caster say with an amused tone "joehst look at 'er, 'ow can i naht when she does cute dings like dat?" by the gods she wishes she could make herself disappear right now as she hears the two males chuckling.
 she feels a small bundle pressed to her chest then peaks through her fingers to see Caster shooing Saber out, then Caster speaks to her "You shooehld get dressed lass. Call oehs when yooehr dahne" Before he follows Saber out.
 Wildfire unravels the bundle revealing her shirt, an unfamiliar but well made skirt, and a strange strip of leather she notes down to take a look at after she's got herself, so quickly pulls on the simple black cloth shirt which was all that remains of her original clothes and the long soft green skirt she was given before picking up the piece of unfamiliar leather, holding it in her hands she sees how the black material shimmered hues of blues, reds and yellows as she angles it in the light, it's beautiful, then she see the rivet snaps that allow to it be worn, there's strange etching on the metal but it seems to be nothing more than a simple choker, she feels it would be rude if she didn't wear it and well, she's sure she can ask caster exactly what it's for seeing as he gave her this gift and so she puts it on with a small click, it sits flush against her throat but not uncomfortably so, the material is soft and unnaturally warm.
 She takes a deep breath before shouting, "I'm dressed!" An Saber walks right in, he can't help but think Caster did well on that long skirt she's got on, clicking open the altered pouch attached his belt and he scoops her up before letting her slip off into the padded chamber before he starts moving towards the door"Saber?" she asks softly "Aye lass?" "Did Caster tell you about the choker he gave me?" She hears Saber opening a door, "'e ded, tahld me it was fahr prahtection and to let you know to never take it ahff less you're in 'is wahrkshop wit 'im and you want to make it look defferent, except fahr dat, you're to never take it ahff no matter what." She makes a confused noise as the door shut and she heard the sounds of bird "Protection from what?"
 " I asked 'im dat too, cryptec ass said lahts o' dings, so i asked 'im to clarify and 'e asked me what wooehld 'appen if you fell ahff de table and neither o' oehs was dere, wasn't goin to argue abooeht dat. remend me o' de ahther din 'e asked me to tell you as well, de ahnly ahnes who can remahve dat chahker frahm yooehr neck, you, Caster and I, so you dahn't need to wahrry abooeht sahmethin streppin dat prahtection frahm you , anyone ahr anythin dat tries'll naht like what 'appens to dem." She hums accepting his answer, "Now I'll take you near de road,set you down, use de desguise Caster created and we'll 'ead to town frahm dere." She jolts "I didn't leave my stuff in the town's tavern" "oh?" "The tavern I told was a few miles out this way from town." "Ah, I know de one you're talkin abooeht, Caster and I are regulars dere." She blinks "huh? But how? You're too big to fit inside, not to mention there's been no mention of giants near there?" She hears Saber chuckle "Same way I'm goin to desguise myself Weldfire."
 ---------------------
 They're still a few hours walk from the tavern when Saber stops a crouches then reaches in to his pouch curls his fingers around Wildfire and lifts her out depositing her on the ground. She barely blinks before in place of a 50 some foot giant is a simple 6'5 warrior grinning at her with a playful expression while he walks towards her and slings an arm around her waist pressing her to his side, "Well lass, de giant's footstep is ahnly a lettle farther frahm 'ere, let's get goin shall we?" She's feeling her heart beating faster as she blushes at what she feels is definitely not platonic contact, and she begins to wonder, these men, were they both attracted to her? And how did they make her fall this fast? Would it even be fair to them if she couldn't choose between them?
 ----------------------
Saber knows he might be acting a bit over zealous pulling wildfire against him like that just because he smelled Caster on her and wanted to scent mark her too but he really couldn't help himself, he love the way she looks when flusters her, he'd hold for her for hours like this if it were possible, still the faster they go this done the sooner they could get back and make her trail vanish.
 He opened the door for her, and followed her in staying vigilant he looked around the tavern as she quickly ran to room to gather her things, noting both those he's seen before and those he hasn't, he know they are short on time, if he's right, then the ones chasing Wildfire were going to catch up to her soon and he'd rather they not be here when they do, it's not long before she runs back to him with a simple rucksack slug over her shoulder. "Dat all o' it lass?" She nods, "Let's go den" and just as quickly as they came entered it, they left the tavern.
 Unknown to them a man in a group of cloaked individual tighten his grip on his mug clenching his teeth, "that bitch."
 ----------------------
 They decided it would be least suspicious to travel back most of the way on foot, they had to take a break a about 4 in to set up a fire, Saber going off to hunt something down for them to eat, leaving her standing alone, she was no fighter, no rogue, no magic or training of any kind, the only thing that alerted to the fact someone was there was a snapping branch, she quickly turned her head ready to welcome Saber back, her eyes widening to see familiar cloaked forms and takes a step back hand clasped and pulled close to her chest at hearing the malicious voice that had left scars on her body and minds, "I found you, you fucking tramp." she feels cold, her voice a fearful whisper "Victor."
 He storms up and yanks her arm with a painful grip, "you're coming with me." He states as he began to drag her behind him, she shakes her head, struggling and digging her feet into the ground, "no, no, NO! SABER HELP!" She cries out, seconds later a shrill bone chilling sound, a roaring voice, both rend the air, Victor letting go of her wrist just in time to escape the swing of a blade that almost tore his arm from him, she feel a warm hand pull her back into a plated chest, another hand keeping a silver and red bronze colored blade leveled at the group, out of the corner her eye she sees red and gold, He came.
 "Hand her over" she hers Victor demand, Saber growls "You'll 'ave to pry 'er ooeht o' me cahld dead 'ands." his voice dripping with rage, Victor scoffs "have it your way, kill him." He orders his men, and so begins a danse macabre, Saber matching them blow for blow, clanging metal as he parries, rushes of air as he dodges, always holding her close, spinning her out of the way, it truly does feel like a dangerous dance to her, till a war hammer is swung, a blow he can't block or dodge, he has no choice but to throw her and take the blow himself, as she tumbles and rolls she finds herself laying on the ground, placing her hands on ground she looks up just in time to see his breast plate shattered as he thrown back and she cries out in worry "SABER!"
 Just as fast the ground shakes, suddenly back to his normal size on his hands and knees. She stands leaning against a tree and suddenly he moves, a hand snatched his attacker, the man screaming and dropping his war hammer as he's dragged toward Saber, he's lifted into the air as Saber stands on his knees above his head, from the angle she stands, even in the bright light of moon his face is shrouded in darkness, a fog of heat bursting from his gaping maw as he drops the man right in, jaws snapping shut, a loud gluck echoing through the cool night air as a wriggling lump is slowly pulled down his throat and disappears past his collar bone, another stream of hot air is visible in the dark as he breaths out.
 "Saber?" She says his name softy and sees eyes like glowing embers zero on her, a wild and predatory gaze, eyes that don't recognize her. She feels her breath caught in her chest, then a fire ball strikes his face and his attention turns back to the 6 men left in front him, wait 6? She feels arms restrain her and a hand cover her mouth as her struggling form is dragged away, she can only as she sees Saber continue their attacked and she dearly hopes even as he is right now, that he'll come save her.
------------
 It doesn't take him long to finish the ones who were still attacking him, he turns back to where he saw the female to see her gone, he know one of the males was missing, too bad for them he won't let them escape, he'll devour anyone who intrudes on their territory, so he follows the males scent trail.
--------
 Victor drags a bit farther before he throws on the ground and climbs on top of her, hands enclosing on her throat cutting off her air, she grasping his wrists, feeling her feet scraping the dirt unable to gain a footing, bucking and writhing, tears starting to prick her eyes as her lungs burn, a look of agony of her face as she looks at the man above who wears an expression of sadistic glee as he strangles her.
 He lets go when the ground shakes, looking behind him, she see a shadow above them, Victor jumps of her and tries to run only for both them be snatched up while she's laying there trying to catch her breath, her body limp.
 Saber caught them, it was odd he found the male on top of the female instead of them still running and quickly grabs them both. He was going to eat the female before he detected it, territorial markers, it was his marker , it was his mates, the smells mixing with her own sweet scent creating something so soothing to his senses, the female's not an intruder, she's part of their territory so he shifts his grips to cradle her, pressing her against his chest as he devours the last of the males, his weak struggles slipping down his gullet to join the rest wriggling in the faintly swollen lump that was his gurgling stomach.
 He lifts the small female up and away from his chest towards his face to get a better look at her, his nose wrinkles in disgust catching the faint scent of the male he had devoured, so he brought her even closer dragging the tip of his tongue up from her abdomen towards her breasts and across the distressed female face.
 But it wasn't enough so pressed her against it, wrapped his lips around her torso, lifting her off his hands and slurping her the rest of her inside, he lapped and sucked her, she had such a mouthwatering taste, she didn't struggle against him and he let out a rumbling purr, such a good girl. Eventually too much of his saliva builds up so he cups his hands and lets her dripping wet form slip off his tongue into his hands, her eyes are wide and she's breathing fast, he decides he wants to taste her again, this time however he brings her legs into his mouth first , gives a small slurp and feels her tiny hands press against his lips trying to stop him, it's futile but amusing, he swings his head up opening his mouth and snapping his jaws shut seconds after she falls inside.
 He lowers his head and wipes drool from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, sucking and lapping at her again, he doesn't spit her back out when his mouth fills with saliva, instead pressing her to the inside of his cheek and swallowing his spit careful not to drag her down with it. He does this repeatedly as he grabs his sword from where he left it then heads back to his and mates den.
 ---------------
Caster turns to greet them as Saber walks inside only to see the way Saber look, breastplate gone, the animalistic look of one overtaken by instincts, gut slightly swollen and Wildfire no where in sight and Caster feels cold "Saber where's Weldfire?" Silence, Caster's voice gets increasingly demanding, and worried "De wahman saber! ooehr lass! Where de foehck is de tiny 'uman female dat was wit you? If you 'ave 'er give 'er 'ere now!" Saber tilts his head as Caster thrusts his open hands at him, before he bends over Caster's cupped hands and opens his mouth depositing a soaked and shaking, curled up form into his palms, Caster bring her terrified glossy eyed unresponsive form to himself and sees the small hand shaped bruises around her neck, he doesn't know what happened but she was hurt again, so lost to himself Saber stuck her in his mouth instead of making sure she was okay. Caster is over taken by a cold instinctual rage.
 Saber doesn't understand, he gave his mate the female, then his mate got mad, snapping his teeth, growling and snarling at him before leaving, taking the female with him, Saber whimpers, what did he do wrong?
 -------------
Caster overcome by his own instincts takes her into his workshop and locks the door, his face twisted in a snarl, his sharp canine like teeth bared as he stocks over to a nest he made a while ago for whenever he was mad at his mate, he lays down on it placing the scared defenseless female on the center of his chest, right on top his pectoral muscles and covers her with one of his hands, feeling angrier when she flinches when he tries to rumble low at her in an attempt to soothe her, he wants to take her in, swallow her up inside himself so nothing reach her and she could feel safe knowing other would have to go through him to get her.
 But even with this desire, so lost to his own instincts, Caster can tell that would only make her state worse in the moment due what caused her to be like this in the first place, instead he just strokes her with his thumb till she falls into a peaceful slumber while he pushes healing magic into her. Even if he can't confine her like he wants to, he can still guard her till she feels better.......then he's going to have his mates face make acquaintances with the ground.

  How in the world did she get herself into this mess, oh yeah, she decided it was a good idea to take a tour with a tour guide known for losing people,IN FUCKING GIANT TERRITORY! The hell was she thinking? She heaves a sigh continuing to mental beat herself up, the legs of her pants covered in mud while her shirt and hair are soaked with rain so cold it feels like ice, she's hugging herself and her posture had slumped in an attempt to keep warm as she continued to walk deeper into the forest hoping she'd find the path back but even now she knew she was not going to be able to keep moving soon.
 
She doesn't know how far she walked or how long it took her to reach this large clearing but she feel her legs finally gave out, rain poaring down and thunder shaking the ground as she collapsed backwards on wet grass close to passing out, dirt long since washed away from her clothes and feeling like her head is filled with fog, the unfamiliar trees surrounding not giving an indication of a path to go, she hears thunder crash and the ground shaking harder, she wonders idley why she hasn't seen any lightning. So why is the ground shaking so much?
 She realizes then that it's not thunder, it's footsteps, big ones coming this way, she doesn't have the energy to move, she'll either die from exposure or the giant heading the this way stepping on her, her breathing is shaky, and she closes her eyes waiting for doom, but just as the footsteps reach and the ground reverberates air blowing past her they stop a good 8ft away and she hears a male voice speak in a playful voice above her "Ahh, what's dis den?" She opens her eyes just in time to see the giant's hand a feet away and coming closer, she expects to be squished, she does not expect it when the male digs his fingers lightly into the soft ground and scoops her up her limp body, one of her legs dangling off his hand and her back leaned against curled finger as he lifts her upward to his face, her sight is blurry and she can only make out colors, his face a blur of pale skin, red, and three areas of gold.
 "Well now seems I caoehght a wee mouse." His voice is closer, the heat of his hand warming up her back and with barely any energy left she snaps back "m not a fucking mouse." She hears him chuckle "hm? Looks like she's feisty, even if she's so cahld she can't mahve." She figures he's going to kill her anyway her weaken voice still allow her to sass just a bit more "Can move enough to kick your ass." She feels him shake with laughter as he chuckles again instead of just squeezing her till her spine snaps, "Ooo I like you." Wait what? "I dink I'll take you 'ahme wit me and we'll figure ooeht what to do wit you dere" we'll? She finally feels him close his hand around her but he shifts her as he does while standing up from his crouched position, she feels like a small doll,her torso firmly gripped and her the lower half of her legs dangling out from his hand, his thumb in front of her face as she finally passes out.
 She wakes up later on a soft surface to the sound of two males talking in the the background "-she'd be too weak right now. let's feed 'er, let 'er warm oehp and gain 'er strength back first alright?" An unfamiliar voice says, "Alright, fine. We'll wait." a more familiar yet disgruntled sounding voice replies. She shifts around and attempts to get up before she hear the unfamiliar voice speak again while she feels a large finger press down on her chest against her skin with just enough force to make her lay down again without breaking anything "Nahne o' dat now lass oehnless you want to make yooehrself seck. You've been ooeht lahng enooehgh to show clear segns o' 'ypahthermia." She looks past the giant's finger to see the man's face, her vision now clear, a sharp jawline, ivory skin, eyes red as blood staring down at her, a soft look attached to a handsome face that would be frightening if it showed anger, his hair is a soft shade of blue and hangs down near her in a braid.
 "She awake already?" she glances in the direction of the more familiar voice, it's the giant who found her, what was once a blur of colors take the form of a young man with hair the color of fire, tipped with woven sunlight, eyes like a hawk, the color of molten gold, his skin is a similar tone to firsts...she think she'll call the both of the men Red and Blue since she doesn't know their names yet. Blue, his finger still pinning her turns his head to address Red "No danks to you, she'd be in better shape if you 'ad taken de time to warm 'er oehp while brengin 'er 'ere."
She doesn't know quite how to react to this. As the men continue to make jabs at each other she decides to ask them the question that's on her mind "Where am I? why am I not dead yet?" Her voice soft and small. Red turns his attention to her from where he sitting propped on the edge of something wooden and Blue looks down at her again, Red replies to her question with a question with deadpan voice while blue gives her a straight answer.
 "Do you want to be dead?" Red asks his voice light and airy like a forest, Blue's voice is calm and deep as the sea "Ahn a table, in ooehr 'ouse, wrapped in de 'ood o' me cloak dat was de first din I grabbed when I saw 'ow wet and shiverin you were when dis asshahle" he gestures to Red "'ere first brooehght you in." Then raises an eyebrow stating " I'm soehrprised you 'aven't said anythin abooeht bein naked yet." in a tired sounding voice she replies "Isn't stripping wet clothes off and getting somewhere dry part of hyperthermia treatment? Is that not normal?" This causes the corners of Blue's lips to twitch upwards while Red bursts out laughing.
 "Soehppahse it is, ain't it? Dooehght a wee lettle lass like you wooehld be mahre panecked to fend 'erself in de 'ahme and 'ands o' a pair beg lads like oehs" Blue answers her in a light tone of humor in his voice. "Eh, too tired to give a shit..and stop calling me little or I'll bite that finger of yours" she speaks keeping an even voice, Blue chuckles looking to Red he tell him "You're right, dis lass is feisty" He lifts his finger off her as he turns his attention to her again and waggles his finger at her "Now you stay right 'ere lass, I'll get you sahmethin warm to fell you oehp." He stands up from where he was sitting and walks off waving a hand and looking over his shoulder at Red "Make sure she stays poeht." Before he leaves the room.
 Red slides over to sit close enough that his hand is a few feet away from her, grinning down at "Looks like 'e likes you too." He tells her and she glares at him "Fuck off" she says without any hint of venom, just a tone of light annoyince, he playfully gasps pretending to clutch his heart, "Is dat 'ow you repay de man dat saved you? I can dink o' anahther type o' payment I wooehld wooehld prefer." He says while leering at her tiny form before hearing Blue yell from the other room "I said watch 'er! naht 'arass 'er" The man huffs in response placing his hands back down on the table, "Alright already! Stahp naggin me!"
 It only takes a moment for Blue to return to holding something pinched between the fingers in one of his hands he moves to sit back down and elbows "Move over" Red hisses through his teeth from the force of it and moves, Blue dips his hand underneath her back and uses it to help her into a sitting position, she uses one of her arms to keep a piece of bundle of cloth over her chest as he places a thimble full on broth in her lap, he doesn't move his hand, allowing her to lean against it, she can't help but notice how warm his skin, but tries to ignore it as she begins to drink the warm broth.
 "So what brooehght you all de way ooeht 'ere lass?" Blue questions her and her passive mask that had given nothing away shatters as she slumps forward reality of everything she's been through hitting her full force all at once, her lips curling back forcing a tight smile on her face as her eyes begin to water, she stays silent for a moment running a hand through her hair she barely chokes it out, her voice cracking as the words leave her tongue "Heartbreak" the tears begin to trail down her cheeks as she squeezes her eyes shut and tries to wipe them away. She doesn't notice the gestures the two men make at each other as she continues and her tears begin to blind her, "there was a man, I loved him but he used me. Tossed me aside as soon as he had gotten everything he wanted out of me and I found him dick deep in another woman. Then I ran. "
 
Blue's face shifts into tightened expression as he curls his hand around her a bit more, lips pulling back teeth bared as he points towards her with an open hand looking straight at Red anger clear in his narrow glad. Red pulls back an intake of air through his teeth as he grimaces, his lips turning into a soft frown and he rubs the back of his neck turning away to avoid making eye contact with either of them and leaving the room...
 Blue takes a deep breath and rubs her back with his thumb keeping his voice gentle to avoid making her skittish due to the level of rage he feels right now "Well dat tells me why you're 'ere, boeht you mend me askin 'ow? After all lass, can tell by de way you speak you aren't frahm anywhere arooehnd 'ere." At this question he hears her laugh lightly, a soft more natural smile now rests on her tear stained face, slight humor in her tone as she voices her answer "I stole the money we had been a for our wedding I learned we'd never have, burned down the house while he was away then left the country on impluse and decided it was a good idea to follow a tour guide known for losing a few people in the groups he takes through the country side." His body shakes with a silent chuckle and hums thoughtfully "And I'm guessin you gaht lahst den cooehldn't fend yooehr way back? Naht dat I dink you'd want to seein as you boehrned yooehr ex's 'ouse down den ran fahr it." She makes a soft noise in her throat as she nods.
 "Ye gahnna be alright if I leave you 'ere fahr a few minutes?" He asks softly and she nods again. She feels the heat his hand gave leave her as he stands and turns to track down Red shouting "Ahy, saber! Get over 'ere!" As he leaves the room, she guesses she's learned Red's name, all she hears now is their chatter in another she can't even make the words out of but hears laughter. Saber huh? Strange name, she wonders what Blue's name is.
 Saber's sitting on edge of their bed shoulders slumped, elbows purched on his knees, his fingers tangled together, chin rested upon them, his mouth hidden and empty eyed as Blue comes in the closes the door, "We're keepin 'er.." He speaks in a hard tone that gives no room for argument, Saber straightens up right, his entire body tensing up, " You mean we're stell goin to-" his voice taut before Blue interrupts "Change o' plan, we're naht doin dat. We bot taken a likin 'er dedn't we? Well she's tryin to lay low like oehs, doesn't 'ave anywhere else to go." The corners of his mouth quirk up into a sly grin "Besides you messed ooeht ahn de best part, lass set his 'ouse on fire befahre she ended oehp 'ere." Saber blinks slowly registering what he was just told before he barks out laughter, shoulders shaking from the force of it, "Good, sooehnded like de moran deserved it doin sahmethin like dat to a fine vixen like 'er. Boeht dinkin ahn it she's naked in yooehr cloak right now. What do we do abooeht clahthes fahr 'er? Ahr a place fahr 'er to sleep ahr do 'er business?"
 Blue tilts his head and rubs his chin with a thoughtful expression before coming up with and idea "Use me runes ahn sahmethin fahr you dat cooehld make you tiny like 'er fahr a shahrt while and I go steal a 'uman 'ouse ahr at least a few rooms frahm one, attach dem to sahme places in de de walls 'ere, make sahme walk ways, rahpes and shet so she 'as an easy time mahvin arooehnd 'ere." Saber snickers,"Sooehnds like you already 'ave it all planned ooeht. Boeht what do I do wit de lass if sahmeone is thick enooehgh to fahllow oehs?" Blue scoffs "If dey do lead dem deeper into de fahrest, take whatever it is I give you ahff, grab de lass and 'er stoehff in a pooehch you're goin to take wit you or something, den joehst feckin eat dem." Saber give him a flat look, "Wahn't dat scare 'er?" Blue scoffs at him"Everyahne already knows we eat 'umans, dey've even gaht stahries abooeht it, bet you a pent o' plain she dooehght you were goin to eat 'er when you 'ad 'er in yooehr 'and.." "Aye right, bet she dedn't." Saber growls at him, Blue huffs "Let's go as de lass den."
 They've been gone longer than a few minutes, she can't help but fidget until she hears footsteps "'Ey lass!" She hears Saber call agitated and for a moment fears it's her he's agitated at but he continues as she she lifts her head to look at him "Need you settle a bet between Caster and I 'ere" she furrows her brows, Caster? Something off here, those can't be their real names but still she nods to him "Ded you dink I was goin to eat you when I snatched you oehp?"she pauses before she indulges her curiosity "If I answer that will you a question I have?" Saber shrugs "Why naht?" "No, I thought you were going to crush and kill me." She answers and he winces before he clears his throat, "So what was yooehr question?" She takes a deep breath feeling unsure "Are Saber and Caster your real names?" She see the to men grin at each other be Caster speaks "Caoehght dat ded you? Fair play. No, and we're naht goin to ask you fahr yooehrs Weldfire, easier to play doehmb abooeht de ahthers if we dahn't know each ahther's names." She blinks "Wildfire? Why are you calling me that?" Saber cuts in "Yeah, Weldfire, because yooehr feisty and you boehrnt yooehr ex's 'ouse down.."
 She rubs the back of her neck "Makes sense then." Saber elbows Caster "'Ey, tell 'er de ahther din." Caster grumbles "I was gettin to dat." His voice comes out gentle in an effort not to scare her as he addresses her again keeping his words as soft as he could "So Weldfire, sence you need to fall ahff de map sence you." he can't help it as he cracks up a bit then continues "Sence you boehrnt yooehr ex's 'ouse down. We decided we're goin to keep you." She double takes "Keep me" she her voice sharp and barbed " Like a pet?" So Saber takes the reins "'e means we're gahnna make you live 'ere and you can't stahp oehs." she blinks slowly quiet as he continues "Like dragahns who kednapped a prencess and added 'er to deir 'oard instead o' eatin 'er." she narrows her eyes as she watches him a concerned expression on her face "Ahnly de prencess can sneak ooeht wit one o' de dragahns to steal 'er stoehff frahm 'er room in de castle because de kengs as thick as manure boeht ahnly 'alf as usefoehl." Her face relaxes, the corners of her eyes pricking with tears as she howls with laughter.
 "Ok, so what your saying is like surprise roommate under the pretence of a staged kidnapping by the so called victim's friends to escape their previous situation?" Saber grins "Now yooehr gettin it!" She smiles softly "Yeah I think I do, so which of the mighty dragons is going to help me somehow get my stuff from the castle?" Caster gestures to Saber " 'e is, I'm stayin 'ere to set sahme stoehff oehp so we can 'ouse you better, joehst gahtta get you clahthed first, I'll go get dem and sahmethin to desguise 'im" and with that Caster leaves the room. Saber's fingers table against the table while leaning against it, glancing at her from the corners of his "'ey weldfire?" His voice is soft as asks her a question that crossed his mind, he had to know, just in case "Say I 'ad to eat sahmeone in frahnt o' you? Wooehld you dink o' defferently o' oehs after dat?"
there's an awkward silence about the room for a few moments before he can't help but turn and contemplate her as she starts to move, only now doe he take in her her appearance, a gentle and serene expression on her face as her fingers brush a strand of her messy face framing bangs behind her eye, the rest of her caramel colored hair flowing down her back in soft waves shining a tone of warm honey and what he can catch of her eyes is a wild and brilliant green like the grass he first found her in, her voice an ethereal melody to him as it filled the feeling of isolation in the room.
  "to be honest, I don't think so. We, humans and other species much smaller than you I mean, hear lots about cruel Giants who go around crushing or eating people, I suppose it's just expected now...but I don't really think either of you are like that, you could have very well done so to me, could have left me out there with my life slowly fading, but you didn't. Instead you decide to help me. " She turns her head look him in the eyes own closing before giving him the kindest, brightest damn smile he's ever seen, her head tilted cutely "Thank you." And he feels his heart speed up, face heating up he quickly turns his head away a hand covering his chin and mouth, and attempt to hide his blush and failing instead giving of the feeling of a man contemplating something intimate.
 Gods he wanted to devour her body so bad in that moment, if he was her size he'd pin her to a wall, lift her up his fingers digging into the soft flesh of her thighs as he learns the flavor of her delicate lips the shade of pink raspberries and her creamy vanilla skin, he wanted to taste every inch of her, ravage her delectable form, cover it in marks of his presence to make it so good for her that she want him like he wanted her right now, ...but guilt clawed at him, they had almost, it slipped out before he could stop it and he could bare to see her reaction "We dooehght abooeht it." He hears her breath stall but he continues, he wants her to know "We might 'ave, dooehght you were an adventurer at first, dey always comb to try and 'oehnt oehs down, so I bring dem back 'ere, show'em to Caster first so 'e can make sure dey they're stripped of weapons den we eat dem, caster took one look at you and dooehght sahmethin was ahff, you dedn't look like you 'ad any equipment in the first place, just the clothes on your back to him" he takes a breath
  "I brooehght oehp de pahssebly you were a magic user like 'im and desguised yooehrself to look like less o' a threat, Caster agreed dat was a pahssibility boeht stell felt sahmethin was wrahng, snatched you right ooeht o' me 'ands, took ahff 'is cloak, used 'is magic to strep you, boehndled you oehp and placed you ahn de table and we started to argue, agreed to play nice tell we knew why you were 'ere. I was so sure you meant oehs ill" his voice starts to crack "Boeht you were joehst a lass dat gaht lahst. You weren't gahnna do a damn din to oehs, dedn't even know we were 'ere and I almahst-" he goes silent for a moment, his mouth feels dry.
 "I 'ad liked yooehr attitude, dooehght you'd be squirmy one, wanted to be de one who swallowed ya down , boeht when I learned you were 'armless, joehst lass who was oehpset, 'oehrtin and dedn't want to take me shet when I pecked you oehp, lahst me appetite. Dedn't know what to dink anymahre. kenda know what it feels like to go throoehgh dat, ahnly I kelled dem, Caster fooehnd me later. I wahn't lie to you now, you were bein 'ahnest wit oehs, felt guilty so figured it was better I be 'ahnest wit you too." He waits for her to yell, call him a monster. He doesn't know how to act when he feels a tiny hand on the side of his other that had begun to crack the wood it grip, so decides to bite the arrow and see just what she's doing, her voice is quiet and filled with a soft melancholy while she , "t's ok, people hurt you so you got used to it. That you felt guilty about it shows alot about your character." His eyes catch a detail he hadn't before he saw what her hair had kept hidden "So it's ok before I understand." He felt his teeth clenching while trying to suppress the rage he felt. Wounds almost fresh but not enough to bleed, scars old and deep in the flesh of her back he wanted to kill whoever it was that left those marks on her. He doubt Caster saw them either but she's lucky Caster spell cleaned those up as well. He's surprised she hadn't mentioned them, lass must have one hell of a pain tolerance if she can move with those pulling at her skin.
 "Yooehr back." His hand has dropped from his face, the words he speaks cause her to freeze at how cold his voice was. "you dedn't tell Caster everythin ded you? Bastard dedn't joehst break yooehr 'eart ded 'e?" She's silent, Saber moves to pick her up and she finches, he still before he turns around and crouches till he's on the same level as her wanting her to feel less threatened, he tries so hard to keep his rage restrained" I'm naht oehpset wit you, well I am joehst a lettle, it's joehst caster cooehld 'ave 'elped wit dahse if 'ad tahld 'im abooeht dem. Dahse are why you said you oehnderstand aren't dey?"
He's trying his best to make his voice soothing "Dahse wooehnds were made by de same blade dat made dahse scars." It's not a question, he already knows the answer, he's a warrior after all,he can put two and two together. "I need ya to answer me now Weldfire, does 'e know what you ded and is 'e after ya even now?" He sees her fists clench, baring her teeth,"Yeah" there's an inherent ferocity in her tone , "Bastard caught me with the help of some others, I escaped, figured taking the tour would help me shake him off, was going to go full circle then grab my stuff I left at tavern and keep running. Didn't think I would get lost but I just had to choose the guy known for losing people."
 He stands to full height, "Alright glad you tahld me. caster 'as been gahne a bet too lahng I'm goin see why and tell 'im booeht dahse injuries o' yooehrs so we can get dem 'ealed." And he starts to walk away before coming to a halt in the doorway and looking over his shoulder at her, "One mahre din lass, ye know anythin abooeht fightin?" She shakes her head " Had to be a 'proper lady' so I was never taught." It's clear to him it wasn't her choice on the matter, still he nods acknowledging her answer silently as he finally leaves, muttering low a pouch of some kind.
 ---------_-------
 He finds caster in his workshop leaning over fiddling with something on his desk, Saber shakes his with a sigh before addressing him while he walks over "Caster." Caster stops to glance at him for a moment before going right back to working on whatever it is he has in his hands and speaking "Saber if dis is abooeht 'ow lahng I've been gahne it's because o' three dings, 'ad to enchant sahmethin wit de size spell dat you cooehld get ahff in a splet secahnd, dooehght o' sahmethin I shooehld make dat wooehld be best to give 'er befahre you two go, and 'er pants were ruined, joehst fineshin sahmethin to replace dem." Saber's quiet for moment, he feel he should tell him "Well dat answers dat." He's having a going to have to tell Caster how he feels about her eventually "Boeht abooeht Weldfire, Caster I-" "I already know." Caster interrupts, his voice even "I know because feel dat way too, she's 'ere fahr barely a day and she's already gaht oehs bot wrapped arooehnd 'er tiny fengers doesn't she?" He sets the skirt he finished for her down and leans back in his chair.
 "Saw 'er smile dedn't ya? Too charmin fahr 'er own good, set yooehr instencts ahff dedn't she? A desire fahr 'er wit an entirely defferent meanin dan befahre, too soon fahr dat dooehgh, shooehld let 'er 'eal and try to charm 'er back so when we do prepahsition 'er fahr a ride she'll be mahre ahpen to acceptin". Saber chokes on his tongue, "we-I" he clears his throat, "dat's true, boeht caster, she's 'oehrt" He sees Caster jolt "did you-?" "No." He cuts him off "She was 'oehrt and dedn't tell you abooeht it when you were talkin to 'er. I dooehbt she'll tell oehs all o' it tell she's cahmfortable enooehgh to." And shoos hims "Now grab dat stoehff you were wahrkin ahn and go ooeht and 'elp 'er. I'm goin to alter one o' me belt pooehches so it cooehld prahtect 'er better and pad it fahr if I 'ave drahp Weldfire in it." Caster does not look happy but scoops up two items of the items off his desk and heading out with a call "Dat clip-ahn strep o' leather's yooehrs, poeht it ahn when yooehr ready to desguise yooehrself as a 'uman, shooehld be easy enooehgh to get it ahff if you 'ave to." and the door shuts
 ---------
 She's fidgeting again, she can admit something about those two make her feel safer than she's ever been in her life and already feels attached, she loves to easily, she knows it but still she can't help it, she's a bleeding heart, they've been so very gentle to her and already being alone in room without one of them makes her feel uncomfortably on edge. She craves that feeling of safety that she lost so very long ago.
 So when she hears footsteps she feels the tension in her relax and perks up seeing caster strolling to the table. He sits down in the chair in front of her dropping a pile of cloth out of one of hands and motions for her to walk towards him, "Comb 'ere, Saber tahld me you were injured, let me take a look and we'll see what we can do yeah?" So she walk towards him till she was a few yards away from the edge of the table, before she turns , reaches a hand behind her neck and sweeps the curtain of hair over the front on her shoulder.
 She never gets to see his face as his eyes narrow, a wrathful snarl painted upon his face that exposes feral lupine teeth clenching, not just wounded, Saber forgot to mention her having deep scars from repeated strikes, but he knows it wouldn't do for her to suddenly turn around to such a terrifying look, so he takes a deep breath before he schools his face into a tender expression and speaks to her in comforting tone "Looks easy enooehgh to deal wit, yooehr goin to want to set down dooehgh, sahmetimes people pass ooeht de first time dey feel me magic 'eal dem" she sits down on her knees while she listens "Shooehld 'ave seen Saber de first time, was a great laoehgh, tahppled right over landin face first in a boehnch o' nettles, stoehng and itched fahr days." She vibrated, shaking with silent amusement as his finger lightly pressed against her back then a comfortable warmth spread throughout her body and she fell to it, passing out with a small peaceful smile on her face.
 He caught her as her conciseness slipped away, he had her curled up in his hands and he couldn't help but stare at the soft expression on her face, he swallowed the saliva that was building up in his mouth, his eyes dilated, he was a much different species of giant that Saber, with the fact of Saber being a type of Fire giant actually from this plane while Caster is a type of fire giant from a different plane of existence entirely, so her adorable defenseless form with her spicy sweet personality caused his own instincts to make him feel voracious, oh he wanted to taste her alright, wanted to put her right in his mouth and savor her for hours, pleading and mewing her expression flushed and overwhelmed as he put his skilled tongue to work on her using one hand to keep her from pushing too far away while he worked himself over with the other before swallowing her up so he could feel her squirmy, cramped, trapped in his greedy body trying to push the walls of his stomach away to give her self more room while he continued to stroke his cock brings himself to cum repeatedly till she loses all her strength but....
 At the same time he feels his throat close in fear with a nauseous feeling , the thought as if by doing that, then she wouldn't come out of him alive and he'd never get to enjoy being in her presence, hear her voice oh so pleasant to his ears or taste her ever again. Part of the reason his instincts are doing that is he hasn't eaten yet the other part is them wanting her drowned in his scent, to leave his mark on her, So he has to make sure she wears it, he made sure to soak his scent in those clothes and the choker he enchanted for her besides the protective spells it had, it was made in a way that it will leave a mark, one that will be left behind unseen by all but him so more greedy parts of his instincts won't go completely haywire if she happens to have need to take it off, he feels she will simply for the way it looks, he left it a simple band of leather for now, doesn't know her what she likes for jewelry so he's going to leave the choice on decorations for it to her. He knows he won't have to worry about his instincts with Saber, he knows they won't have a reaction to Saber's scent on her.
 After a small while he gently bundles her back up in his cloak, his scent is strong on it so it's soothing enough to his instincts till she gets those clothes and that choker on but it doesn't quite help the hunger he feels right now, so he gets up and head to kitchen to get something to fill him up while she sleeps.
-----–------------------------------------------------------------
 Saber stretches as he gets up from the desk after he finished his work and grabs the band Caster left for him, stuffing it in his pocket and leaving the workshop, he makes his was back out to the dinning room and sees Wildfire sleeping peacefully wrap in Caster's cloak still on the table, looks like she passed out from Caster's magic, he peaks into the kitchen and sees Caster downing a few bowls of soup, he shrugs and heads to his and Caster's room to get his armor equipped, a light and flexible dark brown hide with tiny flecks of black and blue scales and a special metal breastplate, he grins remembering the beast he took down to get enough hide to make armor for someone his size, the look on Casters face when he dragged a primordial sea dragon behind him as he came back from his hunt was hilarious, would have been tough to take down seeing as it's immune to multiple elements and has resistances to most forms of weapons.
  Unfortunately it was a bad matchup seeing as it tried to square up against the only thing that could possibly hurt it, a fire giant with a fucking fire sword, fucker was vulnerable to fire and tried to pick a fight with him. Lucky for Saber though, now he has armor that can cover his weaknesses and they still haven't run out of dragon meat yet, then he got Caster to enchant the fur lining to release a heatless smoke when his body temperature got hotter for the simple reason of wanting be scary enough to have adventurers shit thier pants at the sight of him.
 He finished equipping his armor and attaches his sword and sheath to it, blade was scary enough with the sounds it makes when he swings it, armor just adds to his aesthetic of 'fuck off or else' before he head back out and sits on his chair at the table, on hand keeping his head propped up with the other tapping his fingers on the tables. He see Caster walk back into the room and sit in his own seat in front of the lass while reading a tome, Saber keeps his voice low "'ow moehch lahnger'll she be ooeht?"
 Caster glances at him, "Abooeht 2 mahre minutes." Saber hums keeping his eyes on the sleeping woman til she begins to stir and the cloth of Caster cloak slips off into her lap as she stretches giving both Caster and Saber an eyeful, the two men grin at each other before Saber give an appreciative whistle, she flushed with a squeak and quickly hid her blushing face in her hands, "'ey now dahn't tease 'er." Wildfire hears Caster say with an amused tone "joehst look at 'er, 'ow can i naht when she does cute dings like dat?" by the gods she wishes she could make herself disappear right now as she hears the two males chuckling.
 she feels a small bundle pressed to her chest then peaks through her fingers to see Caster shooing Saber out, then Caster speaks to her "You shooehld get dressed lass. Call oehs when yooehr dahne" Before he follows Saber out.
 Wildfire unravels the bundle revealing her shirt, an unfamiliar but well made skirt, and a strange strip of leather she notes down to take a look at after she's got herself, so quickly pulls on the simple black cloth shirt which was all that remains of her original clothes and the long soft green skirt she was given before picking up the piece of unfamiliar leather, holding it in her hands she sees how the black material shimmered hues of blues, reds and yellows as she angles it in the light, it's beautiful, then she see the rivet snaps that allow to it be worn, there's strange etching on the metal but it seems to be nothing more than a simple choker, she feels it would be rude if she didn't wear it and well, she's sure she can ask caster exactly what it's for seeing as he gave her this gift and so she puts it on with a small click, it sits flush against her throat but not uncomfortably so, the material is soft and unnaturally warm.
 She takes a deep breath before shouting, "I'm dressed!" An Saber walks right in, he can't help but think Caster did well on that long skirt she's got on, clicking open the altered pouch attached his belt and he scoops her up before letting her slip off into the padded chamber before he starts moving towards the door"Saber?" she asks softly "Aye lass?" "Did Caster tell you about the choker he gave me?" She hears Saber opening a door, "'e ded, tahld me it was fahr prahtection and to let you know to never take it ahff less you're in 'is wahrkshop wit 'im and you want to make it look defferent, except fahr dat, you're to never take it ahff no matter what." She makes a confused noise as the door shut and she heard the sounds of bird "Protection from what?"
 " I asked 'im dat too, cryptec ass said lahts o' dings, so i asked 'im to clarify and 'e asked me what wooehld 'appen if you fell ahff de table and neither o' oehs was dere, wasn't goin to argue abooeht dat. remend me o' de ahther din 'e asked me to tell you as well, de ahnly ahnes who can remahve dat chahker frahm yooehr neck, you, Caster and I, so you dahn't need to wahrry abooeht sahmethin streppin dat prahtection frahm you , anyone ahr anythin dat tries'll naht like what 'appens to dem." She hums accepting his answer, "Now I'll take you near de road,set you down, use de desguise Caster created and we'll 'ead to town frahm dere." She jolts "I didn't leave my stuff in the town's tavern" "oh?" "The tavern I told was a few miles out this way from town." "Ah, I know de one you're talkin abooeht, Caster and I are regulars dere." She blinks "huh? But how? You're too big to fit inside, not to mention there's been no mention of giants near there?" She hears Saber chuckle "Same way I'm goin to desguise myself Weldfire."
 ---------------------
 They're still a few hours walk from the tavern when Saber stops a crouches then reaches in to his pouch curls his fingers around Wildfire and lifts her out depositing her on the ground. She barely blinks before in place of a 50 some foot giant is a simple 6'5 warrior grinning at her with a playful expression while he walks towards her and slings an arm around her waist pressing her to his side, "Well lass, de giant's footstep is ahnly a lettle farther frahm 'ere, let's get goin shall we?" She's feeling her heart beating faster as she blushes at what she feels is definitely not platonic contact, and she begins to wonder, these men, were they both attracted to her? And how did they make her fall this fast? Would it even be fair to them if she couldn't choose between them?
 ----------------------
Saber knows he might be acting a bit over zealous pulling wildfire against him like that just because he smelled Caster on her and wanted to scent mark her too but he really couldn't help himself, he love the way she looks when flusters her, he'd hold for her for hours like this if it were possible, still the faster they go this done the sooner they could get back and make her trail vanish.
 He opened the door for her, and followed her in staying vigilant he looked around the tavern as she quickly ran to room to gather her things, noting both those he's seen before and those he hasn't, he know they are short on time, if he's right, then the ones chasing Wildfire were going to catch up to her soon and he'd rather they not be here when they do, it's not long before she runs back to him with a simple rucksack slug over her shoulder. "Dat all o' it lass?" She nods, "Let's go den" and just as quickly as they came entered it, they left the tavern.
 Unknown to them a man in a group of cloaked individual tighten his grip on his mug clenching his teeth, "that bitch."
 ----------------------
 They decided it would be least suspicious to travel back most of the way on foot, they had to take a break a about 4 in to set up a fire, Saber going off to hunt something down for them to eat, leaving her standing alone, she was no fighter, no rogue, no magic or training of any kind, the only thing that alerted to the fact someone was there was a snapping branch, she quickly turned her head ready to welcome Saber back, her eyes widening to see familiar cloaked forms and takes a step back hand clasped and pulled close to her chest at hearing the malicious voice that had left scars on her body and minds, "I found you, you fucking tramp." she feels cold, her voice a fearful whisper "Victor."
 He storms up and yanks her arm with a painful grip, "you're coming with me." He states as he began to drag her behind him, she shakes her head, struggling and digging her feet into the ground, "no, no, NO! SABER HELP!" She cries out, seconds later a shrill bone chilling sound, a roaring voice, both rend the air, Victor letting go of her wrist just in time to escape the swing of a blade that almost tore his arm from him, she feel a warm hand pull her back into a plated chest, another hand keeping a silver and red bronze colored blade leveled at the group, out of the corner her eye she sees red and gold, He came.
 "Hand her over" she hers Victor demand, Saber growls "You'll 'ave to pry 'er ooeht o' me cahld dead 'ands." his voice dripping with rage, Victor scoffs "have it your way, kill him." He orders his men, and so begins a danse macabre, Saber matching them blow for blow, clanging metal as he parries, rushes of air as he dodges, always holding her close, spinning her out of the way, it truly does feel like a dangerous dance to her, till a war hammer is swung, a blow he can't block or dodge, he has no choice but to throw her and take the blow himself, as she tumbles and rolls she finds herself laying on the ground, placing her hands on ground she looks up just in time to see his breast plate shattered as he thrown back and she cries out in worry "SABER!"
 Just as fast the ground shakes, suddenly back to his normal size on his hands and knees. She stands leaning against a tree and suddenly he moves, a hand snatched his attacker, the man screaming and dropping his war hammer as he's dragged toward Saber, he's lifted into the air as Saber stands on his knees above his head, from the angle she stands, even in the bright light of moon his face is shrouded in darkness, a fog of heat bursting from his gaping maw as he drops the man right in, jaws snapping shut, a loud gluck echoing through the cool night air as a wriggling lump is slowly pulled down his throat and disappears past his collar bone, another stream of hot air is visible in the dark as he breaths out.
 "Saber?" She says his name softy and sees eyes like glowing embers zero on her, a wild and predatory gaze, eyes that don't recognize her. She feels her breath caught in her chest, then a fire ball strikes his face and his attention turns back to the 6 men left in front him, wait 6? She feels arms restrain her and a hand cover her mouth as her struggling form is dragged away, she can only as she sees Saber continue their attacked and she dearly hopes even as he is right now, that he'll come save her.
------------
 It doesn't take him long to finish the ones who were still attacking him, he turns back to where he saw the female to see her gone, he know one of the males was missing, too bad for them he won't let them escape, he'll devour anyone who intrudes on their territory, so he follows the males scent trail.
--------
 Victor drags a bit farther before he throws on the ground and climbs on top of her, hands enclosing on her throat cutting off her air, she grasping his wrists, feeling her feet scraping the dirt unable to gain a footing, bucking and writhing, tears starting to prick her eyes as her lungs burn, a look of agony of her face as she looks at the man above who wears an expression of sadistic glee as he strangles her.
 He lets go when the ground shakes, looking behind him, she see a shadow above them, Victor jumps of her and tries to run only for both them be snatched up while she's laying there trying to catch her breath, her body limp.
 Saber caught them, it was odd he found the male on top of the female instead of them still running and quickly grabs them both. He was going to eat the female before he detected it, territorial markers, it was his marker , it was his mates, the smells mixing with her own sweet scent creating something so soothing to his senses, the female's not an intruder, she's part of their territory so he shifts his grips to cradle her, pressing her against his chest as he devours the last of the males, his weak struggles slipping down his gullet to join the rest wriggling in the faintly swollen lump that was his gurgling stomach.
 He lifts the small female up and away from his chest towards his face to get a better look at her, his nose wrinkles in disgust catching the faint scent of the male he had devoured, so he brought her even closer dragging the tip of his tongue up from her abdomen towards her breasts and across the distressed female face.
 But it wasn't enough so pressed her against it, wrapped his lips around her torso, lifting her off his hands and slurping her the rest of her inside, he lapped and sucked her, she had such a mouthwatering taste, she didn't struggle against him and he let out a rumbling purr, such a good girl. Eventually too much of his saliva builds up so he cups his hands and lets her dripping wet form slip off his tongue into his hands, her eyes are wide and she's breathing fast, he decides he wants to taste her again, this time however he brings her legs into his mouth first , gives a small slurp and feels her tiny hands press against his lips trying to stop him, it's futile but amusing, he swings his head up opening his mouth and snapping his jaws shut seconds after she falls inside.
 He lowers his head and wipes drool from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, sucking and lapping at her again, he doesn't spit her back out when his mouth fills with saliva, instead pressing her to the inside of his cheek and swallowing his spit careful not to drag her down with it. He does this repeatedly as he grabs his sword from where he left it then heads back to his and mates den.
 ---------------
Caster turns to greet them as Saber walks inside only to see the way Saber look, breastplate gone, the animalistic look of one overtaken by instincts, gut slightly swollen and Wildfire no where in sight and Caster feels cold "Saber where's Weldfire?" Silence, Caster's voice gets increasingly demanding, and worried "De wahman saber! ooehr lass! Where de foehck is de tiny 'uman female dat was wit you? If you 'ave 'er give 'er 'ere now!" Saber tilts his head as Caster thrusts his open hands at him, before he bends over Caster's cupped hands and opens his mouth depositing a soaked and shaking, curled up form into his palms, Caster bring her terrified glossy eyed unresponsive form to himself and sees the small hand shaped bruises around her neck, he doesn't know what happened but she was hurt again, so lost to himself Saber stuck her in his mouth instead of making sure she was okay. Caster is over taken by a cold instinctual rage.
 Saber doesn't understand, he gave his mate the female, then his mate got mad, snapping his teeth, growling and snarling at him before leaving, taking the female with him, Saber whimpers, what did he do wrong?
 -------------
Caster overcome by his own instincts takes her into his workshop and locks the door, his face twisted in a snarl, his sharp canine like teeth bared as he stocks over to a nest he made a while ago for whenever he was mad at his mate, he lays down on it placing the scared defenseless female on the center of his chest, right on top his pectoral muscles and covers her with one of his hands, feeling angrier when she flinches when he tries to rumble low at her in an attempt to soothe her, he wants to take her in, swallow her up inside himself so nothing reach her and she could feel safe knowing other would have to go through him to get her.
 But even with this desire, so lost to his own instincts, Caster can tell that would only make her state worse in the moment due what caused her to be like this in the first place, instead he just strokes her with his thumb till she falls into a peaceful slumber while he pushes healing magic into her. Even if he can't confine her like he wants to, he can still guard her till she feels better.......then he's going to have his mates face make acquaintances with the ground.
