The cursed item's chorus of insults and uncomfortable truths screamed directly into Grom's mind. The noise was far more effective at distracting him than he would like to admit. But the holy man knew he couldn't fail now, things would only get so much worse if they continued. Airvin still released long moans of pleasure and pain at what her body was being subjected to. Laying down, the woman had no control over her body... Mind barley able to process the complete over-stimulation of being forced to enlarge so fast. She never experienced anything like it, and certainly couldn't have a clear thought about the danger the two in between her calves faced. Below, a warm glowing aura started surrounding the cleric sweating profusely. The majestic hues of an enjoyable summer morning now cloaked him and the magic item in his shaky hands. Jax felt the kiss of the new warmth breaking through the cold high-altitude air. The muscle-bound warrior looked to the cleric, the continental-sized thief, and then to enlarging Airvin. Head turning as Jax's eyes stayed with a kneecap growing past him, a supple thigh threatening to roll over the top of both of them.

"I wish, just for once, I knew what the fuck was going on," he proclaimed unable to take his eyes off of flesh soon becoming a problem. Jax finally turned back to his friend standing still and focused on the task at hand. "Grom, buddy. If you're doing something, fucking hurry it up! We've got problems here. Airvin's getting really fucking big my guy." The cleric legitimately didn't hear him over the obnoxious shouting of that cursed item. All the taunts about him wasting his time, all the teases about his body image, and still that repetition of "give, take." But one pierced the hardest and actually came through as a whisper.

"You'll never sssssee... You will never sssssee... You won't ever, ever, sssssee...”

The giantess's growing leg was simply too close and Jax couldn't take it anymore. Rushing forward, it almost looked like a mid-torso tackle against his friend. Grabbing and lifting the shorter man with all his strength, the warrior sprinted away from the incoming tide of skin. So entrenched in the ritual, the holy man didn't even feel the weightlessness or motion. If this mind-numbing assault continued... He would surely pass out from the psychic barrage. But just as the first bit of fatigue clawed at his mind like a rake through loose soil, his essence found the answer. Finding the connection of magic with the help of divine guidance the curse could be halted. His mental prowess squeezed the intrusive entity's influance... And for the first time, he answered back with two words.

"Be quiet." There was a tremendous rumbling under Jax's feet as he bolted. The whole area of leather quaked so violently he fell to the ground, stumbling and dropping Grom. Both of the giantesses twitched erratically for a moment but then lay still. Slowly Grom opened his eyes at the statue in his grip. It didn't glow, It didn't hiss. He had successfully sequestered the curse.

"I... I stopped it... I think," the cleric said falling back to the ground once more. Feeling like the end of a marathon, he sprawled out panting. Jax's head spun to look around at the once menacing legs. Airvin had stopped growing.

"You beautiful bastard! I don't know what you did, but you did it!"

"I gotta... I gotta... catch my breath."

“Hey you just recuperate for a hot minute. I mean the girls are still fucking gigantic but nothing's changing right now. So, small steps, you know.” Airvin rose up, aftershocks of being grown so huge fogging her mind and vision. The two small men gazed up at her in awe, and after blinking several times, the giantess's attention crystallized on the two dots between her legs. She was hundreds of feet tall.

"Oh... My... Gods..." were the only words that left her mouth for quite some time. Carefully staring in every direction, the darkening landscape around her really hadn't altered. However, the massive breast where this whole ordeal had happened, somehow definitely seemed smaller to her perspective. The three stayed in silence for quite some time. Nobody was quite sure what to say or how to react to this development. Finally, Jax's voice cut through the air.

“Okay, so we stopped the end of the world, and saved everybody hurray for us. But what the fuck are we going to do about you Airvin? You are gigantic, Astrid is still monumental. How the fuck are we going to fix this? Can you even do anything? You had said you lost your magic thing. What does that even mean?!” Struggling to hear his words, Airvin shifted and pivoted her body around. Swinging her legs high above the two before twisting to lay on her stomach, face near her two teammates. She was once again struck by how tiny they were. They too couldn't help but gawk at the humongous face in front of them.

“Well, we're going to have to sleep at some point, aren't we? We are all exhausted and drained from the day. But where in the realms should we even try to do that?” Her breath washed over the men making them wince. She immediately made a note not to speak right at them again.

“I'm really not trying to be a smart ass here, but I think I've had enough boobs for today. We've got absolutely nothing giving us cover-up here. And worse, if sleeping beauty,” Jax waved his hand towards Astrid's head, “simply tosses or turns in her sleep we're all butt fucked. So we're going to need to do something better than here. I'm open to any and all suggestions, but I vote we try to see what kind of arrangement her neck will provide."

"Being over there won't give us any cover though,” Grom pointed out.

“Yeah, I know that, but if we have to, we can, you know,” the other two looked at the warrior expectantly. “Really? I have to spell it out? We could tuck under her armor or something. If, she started to turn.” The other two blushed really hard at that notion. All this time on the armor... they had forgotten about underneath it.

“I mean... we got to do something... unless we can fix any of this right now," Grom said.

"I wish I could do something, but I've misplaced my focus," Airvin said softly.

“If we found that ... Do you think you could do anything anyway?" the cleric asked.

“I don't know, today kind of took a lot out of me. Not sure how much magic I got left right now...”

“Are you really going to complain about today being hard! What, you're tired?! Oh excuse me, you're not the one that almost got fucking flattened because your fat ass got so godsdamn big all of a sudden!” Jax yelled, his anguish echoing across the leather landscape. Airvin lowered her eyes and moved her hand pointer finger out... And booped the tiny ball of anger so hard and so effortlessly that he was instantly laid out across his back. His defeated voice obviously to his friends but sounded like the statement was to nobody. "Yeah yeah, I'm in a bit of a mood. It's just been a day today, so I apologize. I fucking died remember? And it just always feels like there's so much bullshit we have to deal with.”

"Hey Airvin, let's just find your focus... And then we can go from there. Sure it's getting dark out,” Grom looked up at the stars beginning to show, “but again, one thing at a time." The giantess got to a kneeling position and whispering a few words, produced a small orb of light in her hand. Well, small to her, as a considerable amount of space was lit up by the men's perspective. All of them searched about trying to see if they could find the dark purple crystal the mage used.

"I don't... I can't see anything. I'm just too big, and it would be so small," She admitted.

“Well, magic items don't seem to grow with you. So it has to be in the vicinity where you shot up like a weed,” Grom pointed, his hand still clutching the idol. “We just got to keep... Hey I think I see it!" Moving over and smiling at the find, Grom bent down and picked it up with his free hand. Immediately he yelled in pain as smoke rose from where the crystal touched his skin. Shaking his hand from the burn, he called up to his massive teammate.

“What the hells was that Airvin? Why did it just burn me?" Jax moved over and looked at the dropped gem.

"You probably just picked it up wrong, here let me show you."

“Wait! Jax don't-" The warrior bent over and picked up the amethyst.

"See? Nothing to it," he said gripping it in his hand, showing the confused cleric. Slowly Grom turned and peered up suspiciously at the massive mage. He thought to himself, 'This is a topic of conversation for some other time...'

“Wait, you guys found it?” Airvin said excitedly. “Let me see it! Let me see it!” She held out her hand and Jax walked over to the massive palm in front of him. Even resting flat on the ground, the hand was taller than he was.

“About that,” the warrior said. She quickly maneuvered her fingers into a pinching position trying to let the warrior put the gem in between them. As carefully as she could she closed her fingertips around it and brought it up to an inspecting eye.

“I don't know what I expected...” she said with complete disappointment, knowing this absolutely wasn't going to work. There was no way to use a focus the size of a grain of sand.

“What does that mean? What does any of this mean? Can you do anything?” Jax asked. She slowly shook her head. “Fan-fucking-tastic. Our wizard can't do magic, our thief is way too big, and Grom... I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're the only one doing a few things right. But you can't even pick up rocks for crying out loud!”

“I'm about to boop you again,” the giantess threatened. With a quick motion, the warrior drew his battle ax and pointed it at his massive teammate. His stance widened, muscles flexing as Jax squeezed the weapon.

“You know I literally never back down from a challenge, even if it's coming from you, little lady. And I won't, wah!-” With an even quicker motion Airvin plucked the ax blade between her fingers, letting the ball of rage and swears dangle off the handle. The obnoxious ruckus made Grom put his face in his hand.

“I feel like... Maybe I should try to do something about this... Nah... I think I'm just going to let him tucker himself out." The cleric took some time to look towards the newly grown giantess and the giga currently the backdrop of this whole ordeal. Then vision back to the Golden treasure in his grip softly whispering, "My God, have you caused a lot of trouble today. We're going to find some way to permanently silence you and your accursed magic." Legs kicking and his hide leather armor straining at the gyrations, Jax finally went limp holding his weapon handle. Red-faced and staring at his beautiful tormentor, he finally caved watching her smirk bloom.

"I think this is the first time I haven't been intimidated by you, Mr. Caldera." she said, words soft as cotton.

“Yeah yeah yeah, first time for everything. Just don't fucking drop me. A fall from this height and I could break my leg."

"Of course, you big strong mighty warrior," she teased before looking over to Grom. "Mr. Brightburn are you ready?"

“Aye? Ready for what?" He regretted the question as soon as her free hand reached down and plucked him. Airvin effortlessly rolled her wrist dropping him in her palm. He was stiff with fright at the sudden grab. A wagon of nausea ran him over at the sudden movement before finding the warm skin as new ground. She then carefully set Jax next to the other man. The giantess blinked for a few moments. A sudden strange notion fascinated her, currently having two full-grown men literally in the palm of her hand.

"Wow..." she softly mused, huge green eyes unblinking. The warrior looked around and then put his hands up.

"What the fuck? Are you just going to keep looking at us? Why are you holding us Airvin?"

“Oh sorry, this is just all so curious. I'll move a lot faster than you guys can, and we have a neck to reach."

“All right then, miss massive mage... lead on,” Grom spoke and shrugged. Of course, they had all been up high before... But for the two men... Something about being held more than a hundred feet above the ground they had gotten accustomed to, made this venture seem even higher. However, even from this perspective, none of them could see completely over the even bigger giantess's frame. Airvin certainly grew a lot... But the mage was still tiny compared to the party's thief. The trio once again found themselves drinking in the Vista of their gargantuan slumbering friend. With the light much lower, her extremities were mere silhouettes unable to make out any details from so far away.

But if nothing else... This new height advantage actually revealed the curves of the globe the team currently traversed. Almost the same distance they had to cross the Giga's cleavage, this trip to her shoulder more like a walk in the park. Even with all the care she took walking for the sake of her passengers, Airvin's legs covered so much to range with a single step, and fast. Too bewildered by this strange happenstance, the tinies did appreciate all the care she took in keeping their ride steady even if they never expressed it. Jax certainly was gripped with exhaustion and mostly found himself enjoying the wind in his hair and the night scenery. Grom couldn't help but marvel at all of the details of the mage's colossal hand. Not every day that fingers the size of buildings surround you. When the cleric had collapsed back into a sitting position and felt the skin under his own hands there was a moment he was embarrassed. Something about this proximity, like he was intruding on her personal space... Even though she was the one who had plucked him.

And of course that brought us to our newly grown giantess... calm demeanor on the outside... but absolutely freaking out internally. The only frame of reference she had for her newfound size was her two teammates. It was already a challenge to comprehend just how large she had become based on them two alone. She thought about the impossibility of being in structures... Looking down at the tops of buildings and trees... Or perhaps, what a large ship in the ocean would appear like to her. All of these thoughts of course because her other friend really didn't seem like she had changed size at all. To the mage, Astrid was still continentally humongous, and in her daydreaming couldn't help but think... What's everything going to look like to her? How will she react? What's it going to be like when she wakes up?
