Chapitre 197: Breaking the Earthborn Part I

There were two of them standing on either side of the entrance into the canyon path. 

Both reached a height of thirty feet and seemed to be made of the same type of stone as the canyon walls. And as they were so still, passersby might have missed their presence entirely, imagining them to be no more than sculptures carved out of the stone. 

A more discerning eye might have noticed how their chests heaved with each breath, although even this seemed almost imperceptible at first glance. For these two giants had mastered the art of standing so still that their presence was almost completely erased. 

So it was quite a rare moment to see these silent sentinels finally stir. Why? Well, it was probably because they'd noticed the presence of the two tiny forms walking unwaveringly into the mouth of the canyon despite the many warnings found along the way.
