Challenge #04328-K310: Warning Signs

So, you think you're the baddest SOB because I am less than half your size? You so sure about that? These people making sure they behave around me says otherwise. You really want this? Okay.... It's your ER visit, not mine. -- Anon Guest

Negotiating peace with a known Giant-slayer was rife with hazards. All the reports said the fellow had killed the leader of the Giant-realm of Hazoreth with one cut from his sword. One of his puff titles was Demon Lord of the Mountain, even though he was now a king.

He was either exaggerating his prowess... or completely honest.

Gravax did not know which was more frightening. It hadn't been a fortnight since Hazoreth surrendered to him, and the details were already amplified in every retelling. Whatever the truth was, it was drowning in a whirlpool of gossip. He had to walk through the wider, taller halls and suffer seating in a smaller ballroom. Mostly because he was Giantkindred himself.
