Iver fell through the air like a hammer. He needed to flap his wings with much more force. The Flying Giant slowly glided a bit more as he learnt his way around it and got the hang of it. Ha'zi and Thoruk would be screaming for their lives as they flew. The ground so far below them causing them vertigo.
----------------
At the top of the mountain another giant appeared. It stood on the summit of the volcano, the lava flowing around it but never touching it.
"A suicide charge? Huh. I thought they had something else up their sleeves."
The Destroyer Giant curled its arm and unleashed a hailstorm of rocks, sending them flying at the 120 charging men and women.
"Fire!" Ordered Yuri, releasing his arrows as the Destroyer released its throw. The arrows flew through the air at the giant, over the heads of the charging cavalry.
Elodrin saw his life flash before his eyes as the rocks flew at them. His time as a child, his drunkard of a grandfather's death, his time in the army, his parents' deaths, living in Rohan, his wife, her death, his illness, living in Bree, the barfight, the prison fight, his time in slavery, the uprising on the ship, the beach, the giants, the jungle, the Maiar, Aldamos, the Gondorians, his friends, everything.
A rock hit his shoulder, another smashed through his horse's face, a third split the horse's mane then flew through the left side of his torso. Elodrin's steed twisted and collapsed, falling on top of him. His own body giving up.
"CAPTAIN ELODRIN!" One of the Gondorians next to him screamed before being hit by a rock as well. The entire front of the cavalry charge was decimated, the second and third rows also hit badly. But the fourth and fifth rows continued onwards, fanning out. They were still far from the giant as they charged through the ruins of the city and down towards the valley.
"HA! Did you see that? I wiped half of them out with a single throw!"
The Destroyer exclaimed, laughing before picking up another rock.
Grimnir had not followed Elodrin. Instead, choosing to remain behind. He was seen as a coward by them. And they were dead. He analyzed the situation and saw something. The Destroyer was using rocks from the valley sides. His dwarven eyes traced a route out. If he could climb the valley sides he could ambush the thing. It was too distracted with Elodrin and his men. Would Grimnir attempt to climb the valley sides and go after the Destroyer Giant?
